Yeah but I don’t actually like my dad anyway, so that’s no real loss to me. Even as a child, I never really even wanted my father to be in my life. What does she want just because she did the bare minimum of being a parent for the child that she CHOSE to have? You don’t get a fucking medal or thunderous applause for that. That’s table stakes.

I can blame him all I’d like. He sucks and didn’t know how to be a parent so he absolved himself of that responsibility and unfairly placed the entire burden on my mother, sure. But does “blaming” him really solve anything? Oh wow, I blamed a man. How controversial! Anyway…

Except, that’s the thing. She literally isn’t/wasn’t a bad mother. That’s not what I’m claiming. She did what she was supposed to do. She always put my sister and I first. She’s always been there for us.

Perhaps, by definition, misogynist was the wrong term. I don’t think I explicitly *hate* women, but I’m definitely sexist and/or prejudiced against them. I’m heterosexual though, so I am attracted to and do like women. I’m not part of the red pill community or anything like that.

Well presumably you wouldn’t *do* anything with yourself because it wouldn’t be reflective of you or your own beliefs, so spare me the dramatics. But also, I’ve never once claimed that I’m “right” for thinking any of the things that I do. Everyone is flawed and we can all be wrong about a lot of things. But the people who are the most dangerous are the ones who convince themselves that everything they believe is what’s right, as that creates a self-perpetuating cycle of undeserved affirmation(s)

I genuinely do appreciate what you are trying to do here. Your input is, once again, infinitely more constructive than #4’s for example. I understand that you find what I’ve said here to be reprehensible. For context, I have both a diagnosed personality disorder and ASD, in addition to a couple of other behavioral disorders. I am not disclosing that to serve as an excuse but, since you said that you are working with what I give you, I am comfortable mentioning that.

And this forum is for funny, embarrassing, or entertaining content. It isn’t a space to admit to hugely harmful, discriminatory mindsets or behaviors. It makes women uncomfortable in a space already overwhelmingly oriented towards incel culture.

It kind of does for me. I have Asperger’s, although it’s not called that anymore because I guess the guy who that syndrome was named after was really bad. Anyhow, challenges building peer relationships and issues demonstrating empathy are part of what is baked into that diagnosis.

Why would I be trying to make people laugh with my post?

Actually, I can speak on that a bit. It’s not so much that you’re treated badly because you’re a woman. I think that’s selling it short. The thought process isn’t “you ≠ man, so hate”. It goes well beyond that.

Oh yes, the reasons behind why a man resents me and my gender certainly go well beyond that. Keep in mind though, that you used the word “misogynist”, not me. Which is literally by definition “a person who holds a deep-seated hatred, contempt, or prejudice against women”.

Anonymous OP 17h

Publicly admitting your prejudices are harmful whether or not you explicitly call it “good.” Prejudice doesn’t become harmless just because you avoid praising it out loud, the attitude itself affects how you treat and speak about people. You’re trying to dodge criticism for the belief you already admitted to. That’s like if I confessed I was a raging racist to a community I knew for a fact was filled with minorities.
