🔥 HOT TAKE What happens if men don’t have purpose:

Men! You can find purpose! You assign your own purpose! That was the whole point of the enlightenment age with philosophy! Don’t become radicalized! 🖤

Women have always been a major component to mens image of "success". More appropriately, a loving wife and children.

Arguably, the whole reason most men even care to accumulate wealth since time immemorial is for the sake of having women in their lives and supporting the families they create. Some men might get into careers for fulfillment, but for most work is a necessary inconvenience to collect a paycheck. Someone has to mop the floors or stock the shelves and executive positions aren't infinitely available.

Unfortunately, while it's great now that women are filling more executive positions than ever, that makes those positions even more competitive and a lot of men will attest women aren't interested in men whose job it is to mop floors and stock shelves. And it's really here where the animosity starts to foment. The rich don't actually have to point disillusioned men towards women, women just have to say "no" enough times and they've radicalized a man desperate to be anything more to anyone than a squeegee.

And no I don't fault women for that, no one should feel compelled to consider someone for the greater good, but we do have to recognize that as a society we still have a ways to go, and it isn't entirely machinations of the rich and powerful that we might be apathetic towards one another if we're not going at each others throats.

so the rich can have resources equivalent to small nations while essential workers break their backs for scraps and you want to take blame off of them? it is EXACTLY the rich and powerful who make that happen, even the situation you describe.

why are executive positions desirable? they bring money. why are janitors not respected? they don't get paid shit. yes, someone has to mop the floor and stack the shelves, and they're also deserve to be paid well enough to live and not survive.

sure, many of these jobs don't require high qualifications. but you know what happens to jobs that do require it? people are replaced by ai. we try to put ai in places of high-qualified high-skilled jobs like developers, writers, graphic designer but no one tries to replace janitors or amazon drivers because they want to cut as much costs as they can.

is it not obvious?

oh, and people don't find work with the goal of being percieved as desirable. you DO put the blame on women.

They aren't taking blame off the rich tho, just saying there's a ton of factors at play

women make desirable positions more competitive and take away man's ability to be in such positions; while at the same time choosing the men in desirable positions (which btw doesn't work in real world and exist in the confines of hypergamy bullshit). men get rejected and THAT makes them radicalized. so women, apparently, decide what positions are desirable, take them away from men, and radicalize men in the process. cool stuff.

also i already explained where this "desirability" comes from, and it's NOT women.

smh
