the enemy is simultaneously weak and very powerful, now where have i heard that one before?

This doesn't quite hit the mark. These people actually just believe the trans lobby is very powerful, because it's really just the patriarchy trying to encroach on female spaces, they don't simultaneously hold the belief that it's weak.

under what circumstances would a person ever need this app its very existence seems to imply that its difficult to tell the difference between a cis and a trans woman which kind of sounds like the opposite of terf ideology

Their whole deal is about intrinsic internal aspects, not the outside, as far as I can tell? That being "the male drive to dominate and abuse", which men can suppress long enough to get women in vulnerable positions. Trans women are basically terminators in terf ideology.

Imagine thinking like this

Anyone who would willingly go back to the 1950s should be gulaged imo

It's a typical example of identifying a real issue (or at least adjacent to one), then coming up with the worst solution. Women "entering the workplace" should have resulted in the hours worked at a job and a home to balance out between men and women, and household income to increase with increased labor force participation. Instead, wages were essentially adjusted so household (man + woman) incomes remained the same despite another (paid) worker being added to the equation - while still requiring women to do the vast majority of work at home. Which is basically two scams at once, one at the expense of workers in general, one at the expense of women in particular.

Look it's very simple you bloody snowflakes, "gender" is binary just like biological sex. There are only two options. You can be born with:

- one or more dicks
- one or more vaginas
- both
- none
- some combination of the constituent parts of the two

I made your post more scientifically accurate.

Divorced people can still vote imo, I just do not want to read their thoughts about gender politics because they're never gonna be a good source on it. I'd bet like 95% of manosphere guys are divorced too (and the other 5% will be soon)! Either the divorce wasn't their fault, in which case they're gonna be bitter and have a warped view of the opposite gender, or the divorce WAS their fault, in which case they're an rear end in a top hat anyway.

This is an argument for not letting straight people write, but what about gay divorcees?

I took estrogen because it makes me feel good in my body, not because it makes me conform to cisnormative expectations of gender. Cisnormative society is what kept me from starting sooner. Nothing about my transition is for anyone but me.

Yeah, I was a bit confused about that point. Like, if it's not about the body, then being trans becomes entirely a social construct, where some people decide to quite radically alter their body so they can be allowed to wear dresses or whatever? Which means the argument becomes that if you took some happily hyper-masculine presenting burly lumberjack dude, and put his brain in a tiny hyper-feminine body, the only thing he'd want in terms of presentation is the ability to wear flannel shirts and chop wood.

Also, the other thing that really pisses me off is that, despite how much TERFs go on and on and on about how men are these inherently dangerous brutes that do the vast majority of violent acts, they'll gleefully make use of male violence to harm trans women. Its some real loving diseased thinking to try and make these laws that will result in male police officers brutalizing trans women for stepping out of bounds into places like the women's restroom or changing room or whatever the gently caress, and then send them to men's prisons where male inmates and guards will brutalize them. I can't even begin to understand how they think they're not participants in this violence! It makes me so loving upset, and god do I hate it when I see Marxists adopt this moronic liberal thinking and putting a pseudo-materialist spin on it.

From their perspective, this is men harming other men, which is just.

you seem to be conflating two things here, that being having porn star as a profession and actually making porn. a porn star in the office is just another person until they start getting naked, just like a masseuse is just a person until she starts telling you to get naked.

here's a free argument for you:

with food and rent being about half the household expenditure of the average worker, and men on average being larger than women, a gender pay gap is necessary to maintain equity between sexes. this becomes more and more true as food costs continue to rise.

one reason i dont like the phrase "commitmentphobic" is that if you actually talk to guys like this it becomes pretty clear pretty quickly that its not that theyre afraid of commitment they just dont think married lifestyle is for them and theyre probably right

theyre actually not that different from the women you describe here which is why its really weird that one of the key examples of feminist consciousness raising also manifesting in dudes results in pop feminists assuming these men must be sick in the head somehow

men: break down the institution of marriage in their mind and decide it's not for them
women: only realize marriage is bad when it harms them personally

I know a lady who got hit with a dating site scam. It was surprisingly in depth, like, there were several dates, including sex, before the scam happened and the dude disappeared and she found out his name/details were fake. Seems like a lot of work for $1200.

I'd be very surprised if men got hit with scams more than women on these sites. If you're paying people to run scams, you're gonna want them to be proactive, and that means messaging people first.

(Obviously talking about the cishets here) Getting messaged first is the default for women on these sites. For regular dudes its a pretty rare occurrence and usually indicates something is up. In my experience it was about :

1/3 scams (usually pretty obvious, broken English, girl way too hot)
1/3 ladies who had an obvious reason dudes weren't messaging them (wheelchair, etc)
1/3 ladies who were looking for a person/situation far enough outside the norm that they had to go hunting. (6ft tall black women interested in short nerdy white boys are probably gonna have to go looking).

Ladies on these sites are gonna be using all their energy looking out for stalker creeps, closet incels and violent assholes, as thats the primary danger to them. Scammers probably aren't even on the radar.

I feel like you're actually arguing for men being more likely to be hit with scams here. Women receive more messages in general, so scammers will be more likely to hit "virgin territory" if they go after men. (Self-reported) stats also support the notion that men are more likely to be targeted, and I found (mention of) a study that had 5% and 11% of (presumably dating app using) women and men respectively having been victims of a romance scam. Besides, my understanding is also that scammers usually appreciate weeding anyone with even the slightest level of suspicion out immediately to not waste time, in which case it's almost an advantage that men have been taught to assume anyone messaging is a scammer until proven otherwise. If you ignore the obvious initial warning signs, nothing short of losing access to the internet will stop you from handing over your money.

That said, different types of scams also skew heavily based on the local culture and the gender of the person being targeted. Apparently a common scam in China is for restaurants/cafes to hire women to set up dates in the restaurant, making huge profits off of extremely expensive meals. Like $100-2,000 dollar expensive. Scams targeting women on the other hand apparently tend to target older women/widows.

Doesn't the WNBA make a fraction of what the NBA makes? Or does the WNBA make huge amounts of money that middle-men are pocketing and not giving it to the women who deserve it? If that is the case then of course these women are paid too little and the revenue of their sports league should be distributed more equitably. This seems like some razor sharp issue that some people can focus on at the exclusion of wider examples of inequality, poverty, deprivation, and what not and et cetera.

The WNBA seems to be running up against the issue that they made a 10-year collective bargaining agreement when the league was like a PR stunt for the NBA, but now it's actually seeing massive year-on-year growth. Like, revenue more than tripled 2022 to 2023 alone. Apparently the league does have a revenue sharing mechanism equivalent to that of the NBA (50% of total revenue), if the league hits a revenue target, which it hasn't yet.

What's the endgame for "all men are wild rabid animals, you get what you deserve, pigs?"

Question: Do you think this is all women saying that stuff? Are those women necessarily that far off in their social circles? Kinda seems like the radicalization some men are going through would lead to greater divergence in male groups/environments, which could manifest as the above essentially being true for women who are unable or unwilling to try their luck in a less toxic swamp.
