My gf has a webforum she reads but its taiwan based and this poo poo isn't over there even on obscure corners of the internet. The politically active youth are all more concerned with stuff like taiwan not getting to fly their own flag at the olympics and other china taiwan related political issues. It seems to be a uniquely western thing among people who have so little problems that they have to go invent some.

Why don't these women who want money from men for emotional labor Just Mary a guy and then divorce him like women have been doing for a few hundred years? It's pretty much guaranteed money for the rest of his life.

Edit: these women pretty much want alimony from men without needing to marry them first.

quote:

Emotional labor—the amount of things that women have to do, acting as the therapist to men; absorbing everything that comes out of them with a happy face; swallowing our feelings to not make things more complicated; learning that if we do start voicing displeasure, that's probably not going to get a positive response; always having to be happy and peppy and taking care of their feelings and their outbursts—whether that's in a work environment, relationship, or friendship, it's a lot of work to just put up with what's dealt out. I think there are lots of overlaps between emotional labor and abuse, having to navigate [around men], having to dance around their hotspots, dance around what they're going to be laying out on you. It's a ton of work. It is wearing and draining.

Though the thought of all men being born divorced to every women in America is kinda funny in a sick sorta way.

Fake edit: is it still cucking if its your ex wife? If so it adds an extra level of hilarity.

If we're paying for emotional labor now, since women only make .80 for every dollar I think that they will find they actually owe men the balance.

Sometimes when I'm mad about something stupid my wife tells me I'm being stupid and I'm like "yeah, fair enough". I hope she doesn't find out she's been doing it wrong and should instead handle it the healthy way where she smiles and pretends nothing's wrong and then I pay her.

I like how the #gymtw person generalizes her interpersonal experiences and choices to literally every woman in the u.s. and only sees men and women in terms of sweeping stereotypes. "Men be like gurf dorf puff, and women be like nem hem hem"

The belief that people are entirely defined by a set of labels that they are born with and can be neatly split in categories that can then be stacked against each other is a core tenet of identity politics. If you're looking for seething rage against race or gender traitors you're as likely to see it on any given social justice superstar twitter as on stormfront.

Except on the left it's going to be backhanded "oh you're sucking up to the more privileged group/internalized cishet patriarchy" because every category is a victim of all categories above it and there can be no room for independent thought or agency in relations between the castes.

From this reasoning, it follows that the top caste owes everyone else money for oppressing them.

Mocking stupid people is the premise this website has been founded upon. I'm pretty sure none of these women give a single gently caress about what is being written about them on an ancient comedy forum (unless they figure out a way to get money for it).

On that #GiveYourMoneytoWomen thing:

DV related homelessness is actually a big deal, and women do bear the brunt of that social problem... But what's hosed with this is that these armchair-activist, overwhelmingly rich-white-women, living in upper-middle-class-privilege, want to take more money so that they can get expensive haircuts, designer makeups, and probably buy better cocaine, rather than giving what they have to, or actually organizing for people who are actually living on the margins. Women try to flee their abusers 5 to 7 times on average, and all of the mainstream Abrahamic religions have inbuilt normalized violence against a man's wife and children. It's barely a lifespan back to when it was entirely socially acceptable to beat your wife in America, and in many places in the world... it's still like that.

But the Internet is all trolls and lies in 2015. That's what we here at Something Awful were striving for this whole time, is it not? This is all your fault. Bask in the inglorious vainglory of your dubious achievements, my fellow goons. You made this, and you know it.
