I am saying women should not encourage men to embrace "bros before hoes" culture when they scream in their faces the "I don't need no man." culture. When women feel like hoes, every man looks like a bear.

If women choose to champion radical independence and treat emotional reliance on men as weakness, they shouldn’t be surprised when men lean into detachment and male bonding over the instinct to protect and build a family.
Women do not need men more than men need women. I will agree the needs are different. We both know on average which gender is more important for revolutions and inventions vs which is more important for bringing new life, empathy and helping a community be 'gelled together' rather than divided.

We need both.

As a Catholic, I don't mind celibaye men or women denying the neednfor one another in that way. After all, if you think you need men you will still seek men and want to cheat once you have a man and vice versa.

We need God. We must serve God as a unit. Whether that unit be a hetero couple complementing each other's strengths and weaknesses or a unified community.

Secularism is the actual root issue.

We (men) lost when so many of us behaved so badly that the bear even seems like an option.
How do you "win" a hypothetical when the other side says "it's not about logic" every time logic is brought up? And is winning against those people even desirable?

My opinion on this is oddly controversial…

If you aren't hacking your way back to individualism you're not helping anything.

It takes both sexes to make a healthy family and both sexes will suffer for this, but that doesn't mean the blame is equal or collective.

There are still families with sane couples, they will decide the future in what they teach (or allow to be taught) to their children.

I dont take blame for actions of other people now. While its true that theory of group punishment is a thing even in the very law, I dont agree with such nonsense mainly because it is applied very inconsistently everywhere.

Catholics believe you don’t need women if you choose to serve God. Women are even denied priesthood.

From a statistical standpoint randomly encountering a bear in the woods is far more likely to lead to death or serious injury than randomly encountering a man in the woods. Women have learned to fear men but have not learned to fear bears so much.

You take women too seriously, they really just say things
They have voting rights, they MUST be taken seriously because of that.

I think that some women sometimes say things, just to wind up some men.

And some people ask dumbass questions.

And other people answer them.
Since women can vote, the ideological stuff they say must be taken seriously.  Children can say stupid political opinions and it's the parent's job to correct them.  Children don't get to vote for that reason; they are stupid.

1. Equal rights to men = equal responsibilities to men.
2. Equal responsibilities to child = equal rights to child.


A man's words and opinions matter; a child's don't.  You take a man seriously; not a child.

Women don't deserve the best of both worlds.  Take your pick.

People's words and opinions matter more in specific contexts, but not so much in all contexts, and not at all in certain contexts.
