I was going to reply to this daya ago but didn't because it's all over the place.
It's a full on brain dump, so it's too much to handle in a comment. I can relate though.
I just reread it, hoping to parse a consistent thread out of it. I got nada. It's still too much of a full on brain dump to tackle, contradictory in places, and just all over the place.
Like, why do you keep bringing in Simon's kink into it? What's that got to do with anything?
That's completely tangental to men's loneliness epidemic being labor dumped onto women and feminists specifically on the Medium platform. As is rape cultur, the briader kandscape of violence ce against women (and men), and everything else you brought up.
No hate here, cause I get that these are complicated issues. I just don't care about Simon's sex life and all this other stuff isn't a valid rebuttal to my argument that as long as he's criticizing women in a particular audience that actually are helping and supporting men IRL on the grounds that they use the internet to support each other while he's swinging from a hammock enjoying a MaiTai and a nice cushy career that also gives him a nice fat retirement package....
He can shove it up his ass.
And so can everyone else who decides to provide cover for what is, in essence, bashing women you don't know and making money dong so.
A.K.S. Misogyny. Systemic. Institutional/Corporate. Misogyny.
The response is and will stay: Absolutely Fucking Not.
We're done. Tapped out. The well is dry. Too stressed and overworked.
If Simon thinks sex will magically solve the problems of these men, then Simon can start a Fleshlite grant program or give away.
There. Look at that. I helped after all.
Somebody pass me a beer. I don't do MaiTais.
