“White men are the ones who are oppressed.”

Been hearing this dumb shit from a lot of conservative guys/turbo account right now<br><br>Why the fuck do you think that your privilege is unique to you? All men are privileged in the same way, and we all face the same shit struggles. Why do you think being a white man who has it easier than everybody makes you special because you’re also an underdog? That’s like list other privileged groups as “oppressed” as you, and maybe you’ll understand how fucking delusional you are.<br><br>White men have something they call “the boy crisis.” This is where boys are performing poorly in school compared to girls, and it’s getting a LOT worse. There are many factors contributing to it, most notably that boys don’t have mothers anymore because it’s always single moms, they don’t have high expectations for them because nobody cares about them, and most of their time is spent playing video games and doing nothing valuable. Boys have the worst education outcomes (the least who go to college) and they are committing suicide at the highest rates. This is a disaster, this is fucking terrible, but list other groups (black men, Hispanic men, Indigenous men….) that face these issues, and they face them worse.<br><br>Women always talk about the “wage gap” (not just women, but it’s always them) because 1% less men pay something than women. In reality, it’s more like 10% less women than men make, but pay won’t matter when men are getting fired… Ever heard of layoffs? That’s when random people are fired from their jobs, for companies to be able to cut costs. Remember the 90s-2000s when there was a lot of downsizing? That 90% of those people were men. A 90% men layoff statistic isn’t unique to this moment in history btw, it applies to all of them. We are constantly downsizing and getting fired, while women get pay (work) and give most of it away to their parents.<br><br>You’ve been lied to when you were told women are dumb and men are intelligent. Both men and women have the same intelligence, but women have better social and emotional intelligence, which is all people care about. Women are viewed as more “empathetic” because they will talk about people’s feelings and hug each other all the time. Nobody cares if a man has a bad day. You think men will just talk and hug each other when they had bad days? It’s not the same, and this is something all men experience. We want to talk about our struggles, we want support, but none will ever come. Men have to get support other ways, like going to therapy/talking to a therapist. But, if we go to therapy, we aren’t “manly,” or showing “mental toughness.” This is incredibly hypocritical because if a woman goes to therapy, she’s allowed to talk about it with everybody and won’t lose a shred of dignity for it. Hell, it’s even seen as a positive, “I’m getting help, I’m showing my strength.” Anyways, back to what I was saying, women have better social skills, which is why they are better at getting a job. They have better emotional intelligence, which is why they can pick up on certain social cues. They could tell when you’re upset, and they won’t talk about anything because they don’t wanna make you more upset, and they’ll look like a “bitch” if they don’t talk about it (work). They are the perfect candidates for any job. Men are dumb (work and talk) and have no social skills. All we want to do is work and talk when we’re at our job… we’re perfect for it.<br><br>The guys that say this have the most fragile list (male) egos… Ever heard of the term, “ fragile male ego.” It’s always men that think they have this fragile ego, showing off their own egos while trying to tear men down. Let me tell you something, as 99% of guys have fragile egos, yours are actually worse. If you get called insecure or any insult, you like to “own the libs” and “man up” to prove you’re a man. Why the fuck do you care so much about what people think about you? You’re not man enough to list other groups as “oppressed” as you? Why are you getting offended? It’s just words, yea we all have fragile egos, but your ego is actually showing off your weakness.<br><br>They say, “women have a lot of privilege and face 0 struggles.” Actually, struggles don’t come in the form of privilege, and less privilege means it’s harder for them. Of course, women have privilege, but they have many unique struggles. As I said, it’s not about the privilege you have, but the struggles you face. If you can’t understand that, then that’s your own problem.
