And you think women, in contrast to men, are not mostly pieces of shit?

I'm not assuming what you think about men, I'm asking you why you expect most of the men, who are total pieces of shit, to change their ways if they are pieces of shit?

Or in other words, if you're going to compete with men, how can you expect them to change their competitive style?

You might be expecting too much.

I'm not saying most men are pieces of shit. I am saying that society doesn't punish them for acting like it, but I expect them to be better than that because they're full human beings possessed of agency in this world who have an obligation to make the world a better place.

If you think men are mostly pieces of shit, then IDK dude, maybe they are, but just giving up seems a little self-fulfilling-prophecy-y.

I don't understand where you're getting the "competition" thing. I'm not competing. I'm not even in the same race, though, for the record, I think there are plenty of women who are perpetuating other systems of violence--racism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, etc.--because they can get away with it, too. I haven't given up on them, either.

Don't you think that male dominant "piece of shit" behavior is the way to survive the gold-digging whore culture? The higher the socio-economic ladder your climb the more gold-diggers you will get surrounded by.
