Plenty of men have gone off to war to impress a girl. It's probably the number two reason men go off to war, number one being conscription. It's just that now, we have a sick society where most men don't have some girl in their town they'd go to war to impress. Their dream girl isn't in their math class, she's on twitch and she's made of plastic and digital filters.

Men have always been very exploitable. It is up to individual men to not let themselves be exploited. Men these days do a lot to warn other men about the dangers of being influenced by women. Whenever a man acknowledges the beauty of a woman, it imbues her with a bit more power and influence, and with social media this can scale to truly stupendous levels. As men we need to stop this. If every man simply decided tomorrow no woman’s beauty warranted us doing anything that we didn’t already want to do, women would become powerless and we would once again take control as the masters of this world. I don’t think this comment will be very popular, but I’m not here to say popular things, I’m here to speak truth.

> It's just that now, we have a sick society where most men don't have some girl in their town they'd go to war to impress. What's sick about that? Feelings are temporary, death is permanent. Your definition of a "not sick" society is a sick one by my book

  People are more lonely and sexually frustrated than the past several generations, this is sexual liberation in name only. Consumerist materialism is candy not sustenance, people are venerating self destruction. We are supposed to love each other, not idolize dolls on a screen. If you can't see how that's sick then I can't help you.
