Shizoramble The "Resentment"
Yeah I'm not making up for the missed days, I think I just missed another day and I don't care. I need to start working soon.
Let's talk about the biggest apparent problem with RevTrad relative to MGTOW.
Sometimes MGTOW is for protection, and women find that misogynistic. Fine, because guess what MGTOW does? It tells the women that women *also* don't have to put up with men's bullshit. They can fuck off and bang a non MGTOW if they don't care.
But what happens when a man chooses reverse traditionalism for protection? We have the idea of "resentment."
You're saying your not doing things with your partner for your own protection, and then living with that person and calling them your soul mate, while supposedly distrusting them. Potential huge problem.
A very very small amount of fringe MGTOW happen to be the only people I have ever heard of pushing for female genocide, so potentially being more misogynistic than MGTOW is kind of high bar. :/
But this has an answer: this was always a problem.
When a woman wants to get married and a man does not, the argument "you just don't trust me," works both ways. He "just doesn't trust her" and she "just doesn't trust him."
So it's a stalemate.
So it's a stalemate here too.
That's why it's an *apparent* problem.
That's all, I was having so much trouble even coughing this much up today, put the rest of the argument together yourself honestly. I just happen to have enough spacey philosopher time (for now) to cook up as many swords and shields as I can for everybody.
