Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

As a weird and lonely guy, how the fuck can you hate women? At least assuming they are straight I guess? Although I havent met gay dudes that didn't belong to at least one group of girlfriends.
Like I get that the group doesn't do logic, but if you hate women, how the fuck do you expect them to like you?
I'm lonely because I'm insecure. They're lonely because they hate the thing they want.
It's like they were never loved as children or something
Women are objects to them. Disobedient little objects that refuse to give men what they need and rightfully deserve. Their dads had a woman that did all the things while getting almost nothing in return, and they expect the same.
I used to be in this camp. It's a combination of crushing loneliness and sexual frustration. Your self hatred just escalates until someone tells you that women are actually the problem because it's their fault for not sleeping with you. They have the solution to all your problems and they won't give it to you because they're cruel. Generalizing and hating women feels better than hating yourself, plus it requires no self reflection.
Many of them have given up on this entirely. At the more extreme end they straight up want women to be pressured or forced to be with them whether they like them or not.
The want to have women, not love them. They (erroneously) think that's the solution to their loneliness.
Yeah. That happens a lot. Even if their family did love them not all parents are good at communicating that.
Until very recently the relationships between men and women were not based on liking each other, but on social function.
Culture changed VERY fast in the west in the last 4-5 generations, but not at the same rate everywhere, this is sort of a culture clash.
As a former weird lonely guy who was (and sometimes still is) insecure: just do it. Go out, go plaves, bars, clubs, or maybe just conventions about your favorite hobbies. Just walk up to a girl, smile, say hi, and start a convert. You don't need to end up in bed or romantically involved, just have conversations, about the weather for all I care. You'll find that it's not that scary, they are probably just as scary and lonely as you, and each subsequent conversation gets easier.
You'll get a few bad experiences for sure, just et them go, don't be a creep, but soon you'll get to know this girl you talked to a few times, you like her, and now it will be so much easier to just ask her out.
