It included the phrase "Women only want to look good and receive complements" if that gives you enough context?
You've made a lot of assumptions and I suppose it's a waste of effort even responding to someone so vehemently convinced of my position despite having not heard anything from me.
People have been shunned for thousands of years. It works. It's a functional and pragmatic tool for societal management. I don't have to take time and explain to someone why women are worthy of respect and of being treated in more than just one dimension, I can just choose to ridicule and exclude people who think that. It's far more efficient, and far more effective in cluing those people in to the civilized world. These people need help from somebody, but I'm not here to help them, I'm here to read and to discuss.
If you saw someone acting antisocial at a bus stop, you'd feel bad. I would too. We'd both probably want for this person to receive help and attention, and to be given resources, like a therapist or psychiatrist. That being said, I'm just there to get on the bus, I'm not this person's keeper and it's in my best interest to not interact with this person to any extent beyond what's necessary, as they may be dangerous in some way.
I treat people with these toxic opinions the same way. I truly do feel empathy that someone feels that women are objects or that one dimensional creatures. It sucks, and it makes that person both difficult to deal with and it probably makes their own life quite difficult as well.
Still, they are reprehensible. They are shocking. They are horrific. It hurts, because it's supposed to. It keeps society greased up and functioning that these people hurt themselves, so that they might seek help for themselves, lest they stay the same and attract support to their cause.
Histrionic. That's rich, coming from a reply to a reply of a stranger on the internet.
- coolso 5y ago> It included the phrase "Women only want to look good and receive complements" if that gives you enough context? Are you a male or a female? I have heard multiple women (friends, girlfriends, acquaintances) literally admit this. There is also a multitude of evidence that exists showing that the “theory” is not shocking in the slightest. These women I speak of don’t consider it a bad thing. Why should you, a (presumably) male consider it that way on their behalf? Or anti-scientifically argue against truths that are too shocking for you to handle?
- archhn 5y agoNope, it didn't. You're straight up lying.
- coolso 5y agoFWIW I'm not the person claiming that, the person I'm responding to is.
- krapp 5y agoYou do know that your comment is still readable even after it's flagged, right? Anyone who wants to can literally read what you wrote.
- lobocinza 5y agoTo be accurate he said this: "I know many young men who are incredibly disgruntled, but many women I know don't care about the bigger picture at all. They are selfish. They don't care about history or the future. They just want to look good and get complements."
