Think about it. People associate sacrifice and providing with masculinity. Men are expected to sacrifice their bodies, their lives, their dreams, and their well-being to die or suffer greatly in battle. Men are expected to give women so many free things that are never reciprocated. These behaviors are framed as “heroic” or “gentlemanly”.
And let me ask you, just what is it that you get in return for fighting? PTSD? A broken leg? Hearing loss? Permanent physical and mental handicaps? What do you get in return for all of that chivalry? Nothing. Society no longer respects the labor it has taken for granted from men. You get lectured in education about men and white people being evil. Strong, burly, masculine characters in entertainment are usually portrayed as bumbling fools. Western women praddle on about men being useless and privileged, despite the fact that WE are the ones that die more. We’re murdered more often, we commit suicide more often, we’re homeless more often, we die in war more often, we die sacrificing our lives for others more often, we financially support women more than the other way around… and men are just supposed to take this?
I don’t think about this a lot anymore, but when I lay it out like that… that’s why I’m okay being single. My generosity will be taken for granted. All because I am masculine, not a flamboyant gay dude or a woman. The valiant hero, the benevolent provider, all of those archetypes were propaganda designed to make men simp for others that would never give an ounce of it back. And then we’re told we’re privileged by liberal men and women who take these things for granted.
The hands out end here, at least with me. I’m not an ATM. I’m not a robot. I’m not a character in a Disney movie or a romance novel. I’m not dying for the Jews, they won’t draft me. I will NEVER die for anybody unless they truly deserve it.
Masculinity is about simping and suffering. Anybody who steps out of line is mocked by insecure men who feel they still have something to gain from upholding these norms, and women. It’s disgusting. Society disgusts me.
