    For the uninformed: this is a direct response to a post saying that obtaining sex by deception is sexual assault. Which, y’know, it is.

    No, makeup doesnt fucking count you unmitigated arsehole.

      Why else, throughout history, have women been blamed just for being attractive?

      “No, I raped you! It’s your fault for being sexy!”

      Maybe it’s cultural, but “woman” can sound “old” to some people, and “girl” can sound “young”.

      Some guys think its respectful to sidestep the whole issue and use an age neutral term, unaware of how it sounds.

          from my personal experience

          Yes, exactly.

          I’m telling you as a matter of fact that I know people who felt awkward saying “woman” because of the age factor.

          These guys aren’t incels by any means, they’re just awkward and naive.

          For what it’s worth I did tell them that “female” is not a good look, and they should use “women” instead.

          The point is not every guy who says “female” is an incel.

      My husband just said, “If you think the one on the right is not an attractive woman, maybe you’re gay. Like, you should just be looking for dudes.”

      Maybe she’s not your exact type, but surely we can all agree that she very much fits the bill for what a large majority of people would traditionally consider pretty.

      I am personally not a fan of the highly-made-up trend, so I do think that she’s more attractive without the makeup. But I also understand why people like wearing makeup, and it’s her right to do it or not depending on her mood. I think anyone who can’t tell that she’s wearing makeup in the photo on the left is (a) lying or (b) a child.

      Part of it is she’s authentically smiling and joyful without the makeup instead of doing that forced neutral “Paris Hilton” kind of look with the make-up.

      Turns out when people are happy and in a good mood they’re more attractive. Who knew?

        It’s almost liberating to realize that beauty is not the same as attractiveness.

        Someone can look below average, but have a shining, friendly personality that makes them attractive as hell!

        No matter the gender, either- I’m not a particularly handsome man, but I can tell you that sparking joy works.

      You do realise you’re not winning ‘good man’ points by saying stuff like this, right? You’re literally just adding to the misogyny here by further objectifying women.

        Very few people in this thread are capable of understanding that offering judgment on this woman’s appearance is still objectifying her.

          I am getting so tired of the internet lately. I appreciate seeing you around but idk how you still have the will to talk to any of these people, the toxicity of these men is starting to feel like I’m stewing in poison.

            Speaking up when I see casual sexism like this helps heal the years of my life when I was taught to be quiet and allow “boys to be boys”.

            It’s really understandable how people get sick of seeing this type of toxicity. I hope your day has more good, funny, quirky, weird, and fun things pop up instead of gestures at this thread

      Left looks like generic vapid bimbo, like what you would get if you typed ‘vapid bimbo’ in gen AI.

      Right looks like a person.

    Conservatives will show you two pictures of a conventionally attractive person looking conventionally attractive, and then caption it some bs like “the age of men has fallen.”

    My fucking god rage bait travels at light speed.

    Females

    Whoever’s addressing women like that is clearly ragebaiting. Stop giving these morons attention. This is not content meant for manosphere, it’s meant to ragebait all young women. If this makes your blood boil you are the freaking target audience. Stop playing in their games.

      The post seems like a retort to something some woman might have posted, saying something like, “If he doesn’t tell you he’s poor, when hitting on you, that’s sexual assault.”. There are quite a few to and fro comments like this visible in those spaces.

          Not sure how well that would match the definition of trolling, but the template usually is:

          Side A: Says something that people call correct. Side B: Says something that people call absurd, but then realise how that correlates to what Side A previously said. This make people realise the absurdity of what Side A said.

          This template has quite a few similarities to little witty fable-like stories that were available in children’s books, which ended up helping children develop some level of critical thinking while also being entertaining.

          Continue reading for an example story that might not be fun to read, because I am not a very good writer…


          The king was once walking around his kingdom’s streets when he overheard a drunk guy boasting off how he can stay neck-deep in lake water the whole night in winter. The next day, the guy was summoned to court and offered treasure on the condition that he would do the same. The guy went to the said lake and stayed there the whole night and came back the next day to receive his reward.

          When the king asked, how he managed the feat, the guy said that he looked at the burning lamps in the temple on the other side of the lake and got heat from it all night. The king then went on saying that the guy had cheated and proceeded to not give the treasure.

          A few days later, the court jester invited the king to dinner at his house. When the king arrived, the jester said that the food was not ready yet and would take some while.
          After a few hours of waiting the king went into the kitchen to find the jester. The jester had hung the pot off of a high tree branch in the backyard and had a bonfire under the tree.

          Looking at the vertical distance between the pot and the fire, the king had the obvious response of telling the jester how it would be impossible to cook the food with that method, to which the jester responded by saying that it should be possible considering how the guy in the winter lake managed to get heat from a temple 100s of metres away.
