    I wouldn’t want to stay married to anyone who would play these kinds of mind games.

      To be fair, it doesn’t have to be mind games, she could have been in a bad place and somehow figured out for herself that the best thing to do was to end the relationship, but realised that she was wrong. There are people who genuinely believe that they can make other peoples lives better by leaving them (a kind of “you would do better without me, I’m only pulling you down” mentality), that could do something like this not to manipulate the other person, but because they actually care about them, but are in a bad place themselves.

            What the fuck is making all these people talk like this now? I felt like we’ve gone through a phase where these people would be ashamed of posting instead of thinking they’re dropping some hard truths and now it looks like it’s back

              The internet made people with bad opinions find each other, which reinforced those opinions. Bubbles were created that reinforced the “truth” to the people who participated, and they became circle jerks. This isn’t just true of woman hate, it’s true of all extreme thoughts.

              There’s probably a community of people out there who want to, or do, fuck ostriches. Before the internet, a person expressing their desire to fuck an ostrich would become a social pariah. Now with billions of people on the internet, the ostrich fuckers and ostrich fucker wannabes find each other and reinforce each other’s thinking.

              These bubbles have different sizes. The ostrich fucker bubble is small. The woman hate bubble is huge.

              It was only a matter of time before people figured out they could get a bunch of money catering to the bigger bubbles. Then they write books and articles and make podcasts that the people in the bubble engage with, thereby strengthening and legitimizing these people’s beliefs.

              It’s the internet. It has good things to connect over too. Like I had no idea there were so many leftists in the US. But when you find a group that confirms your feelings, you have to balance that out by seeking other views and information to challenge yourself. Once you succumb to the bubble, you stop doing rational thinking because you’re seeing everything through a lens of woman hate, anarchist politics, or sexily feathered ostrich cloacas.

            why does this comment make me imagine my memory of women ever existing just getting X men wiped from existence.

              You’re not imagining it, it’s all part of the master plan of the M-Men (Male-Men) to remove women from existence and live finally in peace among only manly men
