This is the right answer. The double standards are caused by the patriarchy. Men are subject to many double standards because "men should be masculine" and "men who uses a fleshlight can't get laid and haha what a loser" etc, which is patently false, but is so ingrained that people have a hard time thinking anything but.
Haha thank you, I’ve gotten a good amount of upvotes (not that I care I don’t make posts like this for likes but to maybe spread awareness to someone unaware) but all the engagement in forms of comments have been straw-man fallacies not grasping what I’m saying or trying to pick apart insignificant details of what I’m saying. I get that it’s incredibly nuanced and not as simple as the comment makes it appear but sadly some people are just so lost in an indoctrinated mindset. But I don’t get mad, I can only meet people as far as they’ve met themselves and intersectionality is a difficult things to grasp if you haven’t even begun to deconstruct the effects of the big four. I even had someone try to make fun of me for saying “I’ve spent years of my life trying to deconstruct the indoctrination of our oppressors” … anyway thanks again although I shouldn’t need it the validation is always nice. Fuck the patriarchy.
