I'm sick of the men on WP.

Post Reply New Topic

I do kinda wish we had a locked down area tbh. I see replies from guys on topics that don't concern them at all and it's irritating. Yes yes, "not all WP guys", calm down. But just enough that it is irritating. I found a Aspergirl discord server once and that was cool, but super quiet.

Generalizing the opposite sex because you feel generalized.

Well that's no good for anybody.

They have just as much a right to moan and complain about things. They need to feel safe and welcome here too, you know.

What I find most problematic about the men in question is the threads being made that are sympathetic to incel ideology or that claim that incels are the target of bigotry (on incel forums they often compare themselves to oppressed groups like the Jewish people of Europe during the Nazi era, which is extra, as the kids are saying.) Incels are not a sympathetic group, they are a hate group (recognized as such by the Southern Poverty Law Center.) Guys shouldn't be allowed to promote incel ideology here any more than they can talk about how great it is to join the KKK. Many incels on their forums claim it is a "support group"--then they proceed to spew hateful rhetoric about women, encourage each other to "rope" or commit suicide because there is no hope for them, or to go on a rampage and get "revenge" on women.

The general public already makes uninformed assumptions about the killer whenever one of these mass killings happen and they are frequently labelled as autistic by the press (like Elliot Rodger and Alek Minassian) and I really don't think we should be allowing incel ideology here because it reinforces the connection the public makes between incels and autism, and that makes our lives more dangerous like when we have to deal with police. If they mistakenly think we're all on the verge of extreme violence there can be more deaths at the hands of police officers who aren't properly trained on how to deal with autistic people, which is already a problem and doesn't need to be made worse.

Incel ideology should not ever be allowed to be part of our community, it's too violent and hateful.

I'm also sick about those discourses. It's harmful to everyone involved, and it's a self-assuring cycle of negativity. Any positive or hopeful or just something that deviates from the idea that "woman are only interested in rich and handsome man there is no hope for us" is considered an attack or is plainly ignored... it seems that those people are taking their negative experiences as some identity, and taking comfort in reassuring it, it's a setup to failure. I'm afraid of the growth of this INCEL mentality, and shouldn't have place here. I'm sure there is many well-intentioned guys trapped in this narrative, and I really worry about them... some, although, seems to just keep adding wood on the fire.
