Topic: Why is my mind like this?
Anonymous A started this discussion 11 years ago #40,312
Its easy to convince me of anything at all. I do so to myself everyday. But now something is wrong and i can't help but to see the world through the eyes of feminism and MRA, like in a very pessimistic way.
Today every male is a cunt that is oppressing women. Tomorrow every woman is a bitch that is oppressing men. Back and forth.

I feel like this thread is leading up to a joke about a dress.

At least you're balanced? You need a way to reconcile the two worldviews. There are misogynist MRAs and misandric (misandrist?) feminists. Be neither.

This. I think OP really needs to overcome the need to see society in terms of oppessor and oppressed. Oppression exists, but it's pretty pervasive across all of society. Stop trying to find one prime source for it.

You are having binary thinking: all men are oppressed and all women are oppressors, then something invalidates that (say you see a man oppressing women) and then it flips so that all women are oppressed by all men until you see a feminist being misandric and then it re-flips and on and on. You need to realize that everyone is an individual. Some men hate women, some women hate men. Some women want to oppress men and some want to oppress women. Both men and women are oppressed by each other. This kind of binary all-or-nothing thinking can lead to you turning into a complete nutcase over time.

So feminism and MRA are not what i think it is? That despite all the videos i watch, the people with that type of thinking is not the representatives of those groups?

No, individuals can be oppressed or oppressors, but to say all women are oppressed by all men (or vice versa) is wrong. So you can have a guy who thinks all women are bitches and should go back in the kitchen but he doesn't speak for all men any more than the women who want to kill all men speak for all women. To say A always oppresses B is wrong because some A are oppressed too and some B are oppressive and lots of both A and B aren't really affected one way or the other. This is what leads to SJWs and MRAs and most extremist people going off the deep end.

I wonder if its because you dont have strong feelings about certain things, until they are brought to your attention. Like you live in the present?

I like what you're saying, Metæ.
It's true, generalisations just ain't the way to go, yet they're a very common undercurrent that can make worse any sort of social movement.

It sounds like you feel like you're being expected to have opinions and support them, so you examine arguments and see truths in them, but you find truth in the opposition as well, and you have trouble with this because it makes your opinions complicated. You can't just say that you identify as pro-this without excluding something else which you also know to be true. It's an existential crisis of sorts because you feel like your uncertain position leaves you doubly vulnerable to criticism from both extremes and an ally to none.

Why in the fuck would this thread be made by me? Give me one fucking god damn reason.
Just for the record, I am thinking about offing myself this year on my birthday so you do not fucking have to worry about me any longer.
But it's not because of some stupid fucking irrelevant anons on some board people barely know about in real life. So don't flatter yourself.

Don't take it personally, people just make a guess based on what an anonymous poster's text voice sounds like. Also, try not to be so hard on yourself. It's sad to see you talk like that. A lot of people here appreciate you, even if they don't say it.
