It’s actually weird to me to write that because I was sounding the alarm on taqiyaa really early too. But since then a lot of the Fox News narrative I somewhat bought into has been seeming pretty fake. I mean if they are calling us terrorists for thinking muzzled children is child abuse, then it kind of makes you question the bullshit they spewed in the past. My comment wasn’t directed at you specifically, but was just a springboard to these thoughts - and these are thoughts that I think a lot of western men are having, even though if you had asked us just a few years ago, Does female political empowerment necessarily lead to the downfall of civilization?, we would have scoffed at what a preposterous idea that was. Now? Especially after the tyranny of the Covid Karens and their hand sanitizer? A lot of men are feeling completely boxed in by this fascistic maternal impulse that is turning childless middle-aged women into mother-tyrants. Anyway, thanks for not taking offense and starting a fight.

Oh and this could ALSO be a tactic that shills do use too - a wedge issue. But I definitely don’t think every man who looks at this list and thinks, “Definitely harsh and unfair, but could this level of enforced discipline be the only way to keep women’s self-destructive altruism (and need for attention) contained?” is a shill. Tik Tok and social media has also, I think, opened a lot of men’s eyes to female nature when all limits of shame and civility are removed. And of course, there is an avalanche quality to all of this. Once one woman goes down the path, more follow, until like a hive mind they are nearly all ass twerking on Instagram for pennies, and the wholesome women in the world who just wanted to be chaste, get married, and have babies are essentially iced out of the sexual marketplace and feel they either have to conform to the new slut standard or be irrelevant. (Men, incidentally, are in a hive mind situation too, but from my perspective, they are much less swept away by this stuff. Men on Tik Tok, for example, really aren’t acting that differently than they did in the ‘90s. It’s almost as though men have developed a greater resistance to social influence (cultural fads) than women. Perhaps because men always had the option to strike out and make their own way whereas a woman ostracized by society didn’t have that flexibility to say fuck you and do their own thing. Or it could be because men prioritize the pragmatic and women prioritize the stylish.
