My boss asked me once why my wife and I didn’t want kids and my reply was “everyone I know who has kids has told me not to…including you”

first off, Jordan Peterson is like, King of the Incels. Basing a moral argument around him is pretty sus

This whole post can be summarized by: “When you’re accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression”.

The Left (I myself identify as a Leftist) behaves the way they do (again, ideologies are not monoliths) generally because, essentially, Men have always been in power, have shaped society, and have benefited from this shaped society since the dawn of time. Yes this is the Patriarchy. In our patriarchal society, women are objectified and sexualized from a young age, with the cat-calling and sexual harassment starting in the teen years or younger. 1 out of every 6 women in america have been the victim of sexual assault/rape. I myself have several female employees that have been the victimized by this, and one of them even said that her mother told her “if you were in a relationship with him it can’t be rape”.

When men complain about Men’s Rights/Inequality, it sounds a lot like the rich complaining that workers want higher wages in an age of record corporate profits. “Crocodile Tears” often sums it up. When a man complains about a perceived slight, expecting everyone to drop everything to help him, it’s hard to do that when what that man has experienced is just a fraction of what you go through constantly.

Leftists and feminists calling for equality does not make the life of the oppressor worse. It just means things will be equal. Men saying “it’s not fair” rings hollow when men have been oppressing women for millennia, and all women want is to be treated equally.

oh and denigrating Jordan Peterson is good. He is someone actively funneling people towards facscism and nazi-ism. Men need someone promoting Positive Masculinity, not telling men that a woman being mean to them means all women are evil. He’s like the king of the incels and if you look up to him you need to seriously re-examine your life.

Beehaw’s defederation purpose is very clear, and they didn’t start the drama. The mods of Beehaw started it as a safe space for minorities and marginalized communities, which is why you have to apply for an account there in the first place. The rapid expansion of the Fediverse led to their server being flooded with comments from other lemmy instances that the mods were trying to avoid by the creation of beehaw in the first place, so they chose to defederate. Seems pretty clear-cut to me.

Edit( The drama started when everyone else started flipping out, thinking they were owed participation in a community they weren’t a part of. You are owed nothing)

If you don’t like it, that’s fine. They didn’t do it for you. They did it for them and for their users. If you don’t like it, you can create an account on an instance they still federate with.

Isn’t this like… the whole point of the Federated Universe? The mods do Beehaw want their server to be a “safe space”. They’re perfectly within their rights to restrict who can post in their own community. But you, the user, are not in any way beholden to their whims, and can make an account on any other Lemmy instance, or create your own and make it as restricted or unrestricted as you please.

It seems logical to me that the creators of a safe space for marginalized communities would restrict their community from the internet at large because people on the Internet feel emboldened by anonymity to attack others.
