Men abuse women
Women avoid men and give up in general
Men: 
"Maybe abusing them harder will work?"
I fucking hate misogyny 
Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:
To learn about and discuss meaningful news, analysis and perspectives from around the world, with a focus on news outside the Anglosphere and beyond what is normally seen in corporate media (e.g. anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist, Marxist, Indigenous, LGBTQ, people of colour).
To encourage community members to contribute commentary and for others to thoughtfully engage with this material.
To support healthy and good faith discussion as comrades, sharpening our analytical skills and helping one another better understand geopolitics.
We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.
Newcomm and Newsmega Rules:
The Hexbear Code of Conduct and Terms of Service apply here.
Link titles: Please use informative link titles. Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.
Content warnings: Posts on the newscomm and top-level replies on the newsmega should use content warnings appropriately. Please be thoughtful about wording and triggers when describing awful things in post titles.
Fake news: No fake news posts ever, including April 1st. Deliberate fake news posting is a bannable offense. If you mistakenly post fake news the mod team may ask you to delete/modify the post or we may delete it ourselves.
Link sources: All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include the Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance) or at least strip out identifier information from the twitter link. There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source.
Archive sites: We highly encourage use of non-paywalled archive sites (i.e. archive.is, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org) so that links are widely accessible to the community and so that reactionary sources don’t derive data/ad revenue from Hexbear users. If you see a link without an archive link, please archive it yourself and add it to the thread, ask the OP to fix it, or report to mods. Including text of articles in threads is welcome.
Low effort material: Avoid memes/jokes/shitposts in newscomm posts and top-level replies to the newsmega. This kind of content is OK in post replies and in newsmega sub-threads. We encourage the community to balance their contribution of low effort material with effort posts, links to real news/analysis, and meaningful engagement with material posted in the community.
American politics: Discussion and effort posts on the (potential) material impacts of American electoral politics is welcome, but the never-ending circus of American Politics© Brought to You by Mountain Dew™ is not welcome. This refers to polling, pundit reactions, electoral horse races, rumors of who might run, etc.
Electoralism: Please try to avoid struggle sessions about the value of voting/taking part in the electoral system in the West. c/electoralism is right over there.
AI Slop: Don't post AI generated content. Posts about AI race/chip wars/data centers are fine.
I spoke to a member of the SK diaspora in the imperial core. They were surprised I knew about this, as they had never heard of it. I told them I liked to keep up to date about social issues abroad as well as at home.
Take what I say with a grain of salt, I don't read or speak Korean nor do I understand the intricacies of their culture.
It's interesting to go through some of the specific things that people in the 4B movement did. There's some stuff there which is a bit contentious, overwhelmingly though critical support. I recall something about a journalist trying to interview during a protest and the comments by the women protesting were very sharp. As well, the counter protest by the men-focused groups... yeah it's interesting the boldness of what the translated stuff was that some of the men said, can't see some of that being said with some of the same straightforwardness in my part of the world. Not to say things are completely better here, I think this might be one of those cultural differences which my ignorance makes hard to appreciate. Their demands about conscription was one of the obvious ones.
One consequence I think was the debate of changing a Ministry of Women or something like that which was focused on issues women faced to like, a Ministry of Women, and Gender or something like that. It was really both-siding the issue. Like, sure, men abusing and causing all sorts of problems for women (and themselves, with regards to suicide, look up comparisons of OECD countries rates of suicide and then take a look at the difference between genders) is an issue yes and needs to be dealt with. Equating their problems with women not only diminishes the struggle of women, other femme presenting peoples, and perhaps other marginalized groups, but as far as I can tell it makes it so the problems being faced by men never really get addressed. Seriously, every time I think of the issue in my country, I think, guaranteeing women provisions (absolute ability of control over their body, representation, pay, etc.) is like a known way to improve things. It's literally what these folks are asking for.
Other options are possible, like uh, getting rid of men or something, having humans reduce their population through not having kids to an extreme, or my preferred choice of getting men to be more femme in aggregate. I can't think really that the reactionary men have a tenable end goal in mind. It's gotta be complete subjugation of women right, like, I can't think of another logical consequence of the kinds of things espoused or the measures taken or the hatred I have observed expressed towards women.
Does anyone else have an explanation? Did I get some stuff wrong or maybe only mentioned parts of a thing rather than the whole? I'm still learning so I would very much appreciate any comments or criticism.
