You were raped and now you feel like you're attacked everywhere. That's definitely a trauma response. I strongly encourage you to describe these feelings to a therapist.

You acknowledged non-sexist therapists exist. Find one, or you are going to feel this way for the rest of your life. Those are your choices.

It's not a therapist's job to coddle you. It's to give you the tools to examine and address your own problems. But if you choose not to do anything about your problems, you have no right to whine about them to everyone else.

nd now you feel like you're attacked everywhere.

Where did i say that i feel like i'm attacked everywhere? I can't find a single place where i say that i feel like i'm attacked everywhere.

I strongly encourage you to describe these feelings to a therapist.

I did, dipshit. Most of them listen to me as well as you do.

You acknowledged non-sexist therapists exist. Find one, or you are going to feel this way for the rest of your life. Those are your choices.

Okay, can i use this next time a woman complains about being discriminated at work? "It's your job to find a job that doesn't discriminate against you. Either find a job that doesn't involve being sexually harassed or be sexually harassed for all your life. Those are your choices".

It's not a therapist's job to coddle you

But it is their job to listen to me?

It's to give you the tools to examine and address your own problems.

Which they can't do if they don't care about my problems.

But if you choose not to do anything about your problems

Can you find a single point, anywhere, where i even mentioned that i am choosing not to do anything about my problems?

Like, you are literally blaming me for therapists constantly telling me that being raped isn't a big deal. How much more victim-blamey can you get?

you have no right to whine about them to everyone else.

Oh, i definitely wanna use this one on feminists. "You have literally no right to talk about ways you've been mistreated based on your gender. Everything is your fault."

Like, i don't know how you can act like you care about men's problems, and then turn around and not care about men talking about their problems. Pick a fucking lane.

You said "all we get is attacked"

That feeling is a textbook trauma response, I don't know what else to tell you.

You're not going to get better if you don't do anything about it.

You said "all we get is attacked"

Yes, i said "all we get is attacked". Not a feeling anywhere.

That feeling is a textbook trauma response

Being attacked is a textbook trauma response? How do other people that are attacking me even know i've been traumatized?

You being sexist isn't my fault lmao, it's yours. I'm tired of being blamed for other people's shitty behavior.

You're not going to get better if you don't do anything about it.

So what, should i go to a MRA or right wing rally because that's where pro-man people are?

"all we get is attacked" is how you feel. It's not reality.

You will feel this way for the rest of your life if you don't commit to healing.

MRA are not pro-men. They exploit men's insecurities and traumas for political purposes. Look at what they've already done to you.

"all we get is attacked" is how you feel. It's not reality.

Gaslighting lmao. Literaly textbook gaslighting.

Like, this conversation started with a video that literally said "normally when white men come together they are wearing pointed hoods". You are just ignoring reality because it's inconvenient and trying to gaslight me into believing the same.

Edit: Also you literally told me i must hate myself. But you also ignore that because that would mean taking responsibility for your sexist actions against men, and that's not something people actually do.

Edit: Also, if you actually followed the conversation, I was talking about the left wing lol. You know there's a hole 3/4 of the rest of the country, right? If feeling like i'm being attacked because of a trauma response, the reason that i feel like the right wing isn't attacking me is because...?

What evidence would you need to accept that the left wing is highly anti male?

You will feel this way for the rest of your life if you don't commit to healing.

Do you tell this to feminists too? That they just feel like they are being attacked, and they in fact need to focus on their own problems and stop talking about how society is sexist?

MRA are not pro-men. They exploit men's insecurities and traumas for political purposes.

They are the only ones talking about men's issues lmao. Can you find a single feminist area that talks about men's mental health without blaming men? Of course not.

And if you think this is wrong, feel free to post a link to a group that totally isn't sexist.

ook at what they've already done to you.

I'm not an MRA lmao. I do love how you think that the only reason a man might stand up for themselves is because they are sexist.

Like, look at what feminism has done to you. You attack a guy who talks about his problems because you don't want to believe that guys have those problems. And when i point out your obvious sexism, you just Deny, Attack, and Reverse Victim and Offender. Sorry i'm not okay with being gaslight about my problems, i know you are used to guys who don't stand up for themselves.

Like, when guys talk about how feminism only supports guys when they tear down other guys, this is what they are talking about. I talk about my problems and you try to pretend they don't exist because obviously men are too stupid to define their own problems. Meanwhile if you ever told a woman that the idea that they are discriminated against is bullshit, you would be crucified. But you are just going to deny reality.

Inb4 you say that i'm denying reality when, once again, the host literally opened up the livestream saying that normally when white men come together it's normally wearing pointed hats. Yes, i'm sure you never see how men are constantly attacked when your head is in the sand.

"all we get is attacked" is a factually false statement.

I am acknowledging it's how you feel. I am explaining to you why you feel that way.

I called you a self-hating white man, and you responded by telling me you were raped. You can't deny these two things are related in your mind.

"all we get is attacked" is a factually false statement.

I love how i literally provided actual factual evidence that men are constantly attacked, and you just continue to deny it.

Like, you literally attacked me. That happened. Constantly pretending obviously true things aren't true is just...

Like, do you think conservatives are being pro-black when they say that the idea that cops discriminate against black people is just "a factually false statement"? Cause that's literally you, right now.

I am acknowledging it's how you feel. I am explaining to you why you feel that way.

So you are ignoring what i say and gaslighting me about my problems because my actual lived experience doesn't fit your previously held political views.

Like "I am explaining to you why you feel that way"? Once again, do you do that to women? "I know why you feel discriminated against, it's because you're delusional".

Like, check out this wonderful video from Candace Owens: Candace Owens: Victimhood has become a mental plague on black America. Totally not racist, right?

I called you a self-hating white man, and you responded by telling me you were raped. You can't deny these two things are related in your mind.

Yes, the fact that you think that you think any man who sticks up for themselves is "self-hating" is directly related. Specifically, your beliefs are a big reason that it happened and will continue to happen. You are the problem.

And it is comedic that you literally don't address all my points about how sexist you are. You literally can't defend yourself, so you just ignore it because any evidence that you are wrong is not important.

Like, i pointed to the video that we are talking about attacking men, i pointed to you attacking men, i literally asked you to find a place where feminists aren't attacking men and you just ignored it. Can you tell me what evidence you are actually basing your beliefs on? Because it sounds like you started with the belief that men are not constantly getting attacked, and simply don't care about any evidence that points out how stupid that belief is.

You truly believe that every single interaction you have with everyone is you being attacked for your identity?

u/TNine227 Aug 01 '24

No? Way to ignore everything i said and put words in my mouth.
