OK
@Ahyurea, I'll bite.
I think really, despite all of the sarcasm in here, what everyone objects to is being used.
Despite that, many people are egocentric and have no qualms using others.
In fact, even when they know they've done something scummy like exploiting someone else's goodwill, they will do their best to rationalize that decision.
They then take their backdated rationalizations and accept them as objective truths.
People do this because being honest about their own hypocrisy would upset their own positive self-image and generate a great deal of cognitive dissonance.
Everyone is the main character in the story they are telling about themselves.
As the protagonist, they must always play the sympathetic role and will construct the narrative so as to be cast in that light.
So on female forums, women are the long-suffering, loyal and virtuous victims of male depravity. (LSA)
And on male forums, men are the victims of manipulative, pecuniary, and capricious women. (theColi)
I think that women are taught to hold no illusions about men and their motives.
That we are selfish and have no problems lying to y'all to get what we want.
OK, I really don't have any objections to that.
But men are not taught the same thing.
Boys are not raised to believe that women are selfish and self-interested.
Instead, we are taught that women are the kinder, fairer, more moral half of the species.
Quite obviously, any extensive experience with women will prove that to be a lie.
I just think we need to stop telling boys this lie.
Because, as you can clearly see on here, it produces nothing but bitterness and resentment when the reality of feminine nature reveals itself.
Songs like
Loyal or online movements like theRedPill or GMB are simply attempts by men in adulthood to debunk the myths about femininity that they were indoctrinated with as children.
We're all just human, there are no angels.
P.S: End speech. Resume gender war.
