I am going to preface all of this by saying that I am a bit assmad about the situation.
I found this viral video that’s been going around of some dude interviewing a couple about a Hall Pass. The girl excitedly says that she’d do it, the guy looks confused. That’s fine, funny even…until you scroll down. Pretty much all the replies are that she’s a wh’re, he should leave her, calling the guy a c’ck, some people acting like she should be publicly shamed or stoned for daring to answer the question she was asked. Like no action was committed this is all part of an interview.
When I saw this I was really disgusted and kinda shocked by how strong the blowback was. But then it hit me: There is nothing that unites a bunch of asshole men quite like “woman bad.” Even a woman talking about her sex life labels her as a harlot that no one should even associate with. Meanwhile the dude that asked the question doesn’t get a second look because there’s a woman being uppity or something.
Incels and sexists get the wall no arguments.
We all know if the roles were reversed and the guy was asked first and the girl was more hesitant that all the pigs in the comments would be shouting “what a chad” and “what’s her problem trying to stop her man from being the alpha?” and other unhinged misogynistic bs.
Thing is while a lot of these are incels I think it’s important to recognise that a huge majority of these people are actually married men. Incels tend to overwhelm and dominate the narratives around sexism and it creates this perception that insane unhinged sexism like this doesnt exist outside of the incel trope the media and Internet like to obsess over.
Sexism like this is still rampant within normal society and it fucking infuriates me to no end.
I remember a taxi driver kicking off in a pub because he thought it was fundamentaly wrong that my partner earned more than me and was the main earner while I was the supportive one. It had his gammon NorfFC pasty white skin shaking with anger, he went red because he thought it was fundamentally disgusting for a women to not be “protected and in charge of the house and kids”.
Protected in this case means owned and controlled let’s not kid ourselves and this guy was in his early 40s. Not some dinosaur from the past but a middle aged pig.
Sexism like this is too common in typically masculine circles and it needs curb stomping the fuck out of people. Neoliberal passivity towards systemic and overt sexism has only enabled these scum more and they need to be brought in line.
Arghhg fuck these people rjfjwjfjekjrje
If anyone’s interested there was a good ending to the taxi driver story, not only did my partner shame this clown in front of his mate and others in the pub but after she’d went to play pool I sat and tore this man’s fragile masculinity to pieces and made him storm out. Interestingly his friend who was initially the one chatting with us was a communist and we got on great, he had however known the scumbag through childhood and prison and felt a familiar connection to him hence why chalk and cheese were drinking together for context.
