Can we stop the division between genders online and be more positive?

[Lynx122]

I was touched by all the women who wrote posts about international mens day. That's very sweet of you :)

In the past I was hurt because since I was in high school I heard retoric about how men have it so great and are opressing other people etc. I wasn't diagnosed back then but I knew I was struggling with a lot of things and it didn't feel good to hear these things.

This influenced my reaction in the future when feminism and women's issues were brought up it's like I developed an emotional allergy to these kinds of discussions. I think most of the negativity today is online anyway but it can still affect how we percieve things and how we react in interactions in real life as well.

It is a small minority of women who say hateful things towards men and I don't want this to affect me anymore and get in the way of positivity and love. Next time I'll write a post for Women's Day as well :)

I'm very grateful to the women in my life in the past and the present and I hope we can ignore the negativity and get along better in the future :)

Thank you :) <3

I'm pleased you could find your way to a larger perspective, over time. I don't really know Switzerland, but I guess it can't be too far from Germany or France, culturally speaking. In our streets, no women are randomly jumping at men's throats.

Some witty commentaries could be heard, some references to patriarchy, depending on the extent of your circles. But, as an ensemble, no one is against you or me there. Women mainly put things in perspective, towards some aspects of Manhood in society. Hence those commentaries, they are benevolent, when considered correctly :)

I'm pleased that you are pleased :P

The women who wrote positive things about men in men's day mostly did so to manipulate men into thinking they actually give a shit. Many of those women used international men's day to ask what we could ask do about gender equality. Making it still all about themselves. Barely any of the international men's day posts on here by women were about awareness of men's issues because they can't give a full damn about men's issues since they care only about womens issues. Men are disposable and women have to pretend they actually give a shit about us and men have to pretend to care

[Lynx122]

I don't think so. There are so many women who care about other people.

[SolitarySolace]

Sure there are some but not enough

@SolitarySolace Alright... Do You have a proof it's a majority? I believe that 52% of white women in the USA voted for President-elect Donald Trump, and I believe it's not unreasonable to assume they are the vast majority of the women who speak in favour of men. Now... Of course some women are manipulative, but if they already voted for President-elect Donald Trump, I believe they are trustworthy enough not to accuse them of at least a hostile manipulation.

Ye I agree with you! Most of the hateful things - from both sides - is online and it does get very depressing and upsetting. I've cried feeling it's so hopeless after some men on here hurt me with their views. Not judging their views. But it hurts nonetheless and I think people forget there are real genuine people out here! We have hearts and emotions. Male and female. It would be nice if we can talk about improving our experiences of eachother not tearing us apart.

I loved your post and always respect your opinion. Keep adding here!

Thank you <3 glad you liked it :)

It'll happen when both sides fully respect the other gender and both sides come to the conclusion that one isn't fully better than the other and we are truly viewed as being equal in the grand scheme of things. I wish it would come true as well. I seriously doubt it will and sadly I only think more division is ahead considering what's about to unfold in the coming years.

I agree most of the divisive speech is online, but it's real life conditions that are behind it. Until those conditions change, there will continue to be division online and in the real world.

To that end, I am happy to see International Men's Day actually being acknowledge by women in a positive way, rather than the hateful way it was typically addressed in the past. Thanks to all the kind ladies who mentioned it yesterday and wished men a good day. That was heartening to see, and I'm hopeful it signals a positive change in awareness and attitudes toward men's issues, and seeing them taken seriously so those real life conditions can be addressed.

Talk is cheap. Women need to get laws changed to be more fair to men. Until paternity, child custody, alimpoy, same sentence for the same crime, and false accusation laws/penalties are changed, there is no reason to treat women with respect, or help them for anything.

If there is a draft, it should be all women that go off to war and die for our country too.

[SolitarySolace]

Agreed 110%

[ClassicDropout]

I agree. No matter what your opinions are, they are just that. Nobody is going to see completely eye to eye on anything, but tolerance for differing opinions is what promotes growth. I personally just want to have a good time and limit the amount of negativity in front of me.

what do you mean "stop"? you don't have to start in the first place. there is no division. the online world is a fake world that is created by algorythms forcing things upon you that are gonna make you react. and those things are usually outrageous divisive things that exist in tiny niches but are not generally a thing. and i think your mentioned division between the genders is such a thing. it doesn't really exist. it only exists in rage bait media bullshit.

Easy. Don't partake in the Gender war and you won't be in it 😏

Nice and cute Girls 😍🥰 🫶💕💋

Doubtful, people love to argue with and insult others online.

[Lynx122]

Ok I'll just be positive myself then ;)

[shortster]

Good luck.

I have no problems with the different sexes, but all these different genders? Blows my mind.

[Anonymous]

sure we can stop the moment people start being honest and stop lying and getting upset over being called out for lying

[hotman5]

stop gender wars

[Dargil]

No. It's what the left wants. Division.

[beefcakebradybatson]

One can only hope.

Talk is cheap. Walk the walk...
