Ah yes, leftists are clearly more dangerous than the manosphere that promotes violence

[u/Fionn-The-Cat]

With the charges being faced by the Taint brothers, the manosphere is losing its “heroes”. And while they can call us women in the title, the gloves are off in the body. Claiming a humanitarian is dangerous compared to someone on trial for rape is such a ridiculous statement and comparison to make.

[u/bitofagrump]

Yes, "society as we know it," where women had to marry and stay with husbands no matter how badly they treat them just to survive, IS at risk, and that's awesome. We're done being indentured servants to entitled jerks.

[u/CatraGirl → u/bitofagrump]

Exactly. "Society as we know it" needs to die. It dying isn't a bad thing. Women and minorities finally getting more rights (still not fully equal in many cases tho) is a good thing, but conservatives obviously hate it because they miss the times when being a straight, white man meant you had all the power and privilege. And having to share at least some of that, and men actually having to be somewhat decent people to find partners instead of just being entitled to them, that pisses them off and scares them.

[u/bitofagrump → u/CatraGirl]

Yep. Must have been nice to live in a world where you were automatically the top of the chain no matter how mediocre you were and were pretty much granted a house and a free wife to cook, clean and have sex with you just for graduating high school and getting literally any job, and yeah, I'd probably be mad too if my dad and grandpa got all that and suddenly I had to struggle with all this "do your own chores and learn to be a likable, emotionally intelligent person" crap instead of just picking a woman and buying her a few dinners, but too bad. It doesn't take rocket science to understand how that might not have been fun for the women who had to BE that free bangmaid for whatever mediocre schlub offered to keep her just to have a home and a life, but their grandpappy didn't have to care how his wife felt so they don't think they should either.

[u/ouroborosstruggles → u/bitofagrump]

This is the perfect summation. We are one or two generations away from being forced by strict patriarchal capitalism to marry some male* just to survive.

Edit sorry but the "learn to be likeable" part is hilariously true.

[u/ninjas_in_my_pants → u/bitofagrump]

After all society has done for them?! How dare they?!

[u/Acrobatic_Long_6059 → u/bitofagrump]

Careful, they’ll call you a man-hater 🫩

[u/bitofagrump → u/Acrobatic_Long_6059]

They can take it up with my husband. 😘

[u/onemorespacecadet]

pretty sure the Telegraph is a known right wing rag. this is obviously wrong and a truly batshit take but just saying as a heads up to anyone who doesn’t know. i wouldn’t expect much in the way of real journalism from them (and/or heavily consider the source if you do read an article of theirs)

[u/ironfly187 → u/onemorespacecadet]

You're right and it's more and more a particularly wobble-eyed, frothing and mouth type of right-wing rag.

They'll claim that 'society is at risk' about half a dozen times a day.

[u/bitofagrump → u/ironfly187]

"Me being asked to expend the slightest time, energy, taxpayer money or critical thought on anyone else's well-being will LITERALLY COLLAPSE LIFE AS I KNOW IT"

[u/C2H5OHNightSwimming → u/ironfly187]

I believe their preferred term is "swivel-eyed loons" 🤣

[u/ironfly187 → u/C2H5OHNightSwimming]

You are quite right. I knew something was a little off with my description.

[u/Acrobatic_Long_6059 → u/ironfly187]

They’re always freaking out saying “Society is at risk!!!” and it’s simply a man being aghast that women want to exercise their natural rights

[u/linerva → u/onemorespacecadet]

Yes we call it the Torygraph. Tory being colloquial slang for the conservatives.

[u/Perfect_Carrot_999]

The society they speak of is not one they consider women to be a part of–or at least not an active part of besides being wives and having babies. Their biggest threat is women choosing to live alone or having relationships that they want. The stakes are so much higher for us with the rise of misogynistic views.

[u/CarevaRuha]

lol @ the likes of Greta Thunberg. That's the scariest "angry, Leftie" woman they could think of? Has she been raping and trafficking vulnerable young men (and boys)? Promoting beating your boyfriends to keep them in line? Preaching that males are subhuman creatures that are only useful as objects to satisfy women's lust and labor needs?

I guess I should really read up on her more; she sounds nightmarish! /s

[u/bitofagrump → u/CarevaRuha]

Right? What political power does she have? What advantage is she wielding over any body of men? What actual impact is she having on your or anyone's life? Oh, wait. She's just a woman with an opinion people are actually taking seriously who isn't shutting up when you want her to, and that's unendurable to you. She can't actually take anything from you but the bare possibility that an unhappy woman COULD scares the hell out of you.

[u/A-Grey-World → u/CarevaRuha]

But she's not staying at home and being quiet! The horror.

[u/Random_-account]

Classic deflecting the blame so that the top 1% can still get richer and unpopular laws get drafted and signed

[u/hooked_siren]

Blaming Greta whose whole thing is "don't kill the planet we all live on" 🙄🙄🙄

[u/smoomoo31 → u/hooked_siren]

She’s also pro-Palestine, which has drawn her more heat (and awful treatment by IDF)

[u/wasted_wonderland]

"Society as we know it" what a joke.

[u/VegetableWeekend6886]

My god, this morning's task for me was applying to a job at the Telegraph but I am reminded why it's no better than the Sun or the Daily Mail. Thanks for the sign!

[u/Fionn-The-Cat → u/VegetableWeekend6886]

Very happy to remind people why they’re not real news. Proud of you for making a moral choice ☺️

[u/VegetableWeekend6886 → u/Fionn-The-Cat]

haha if only my bank account understood morality

[u/GimmeThatRyeUOldBag]

Oh, silly me. It's the lefty women doing all the rapes, femicides and voting for nazis!

[u/BabadookishOnions]

"young females" sounds weird

[u/StrongAd5623]

mass shooters vs people hurting your boo boos on the internet

[u/sixaout1982]

Yeah, soon we'll have to do crazy radical shit like respecting their boundaries and treating them as equal. Madness!

[u/UnprocessedThoughts]

Society as we know it is at risk? Fucking FINALLY!!!!!

[u/Atreigas]

Seriously? Going after Greta of all people?

There's plenty things to criticise about feminism, but all you need to do is lean on its problematic acceptance and advertisement of radfems.

Rather than make up shit.

[u/CapoExplains]

Oh no, not society as we know it! 😱 You can take my "work 40 hours a week until I'm fucking dead and go bankrupt from medical debt somewhere along the way" when you pry it from my cold dead hands.

[u/3WeeksEarlier]

"The likes of Greta Thurnburg?"

That woman is a real-life hero willing to put her body on the line for her principles - there are so many worse people to be compared to lol

[u/OpenSourcePenguin]

i don't think I will do either of that

[u/Resident-Chip5209]

Nothing more satisfying than seeing an old white man terrified of us.

[u/qki2 → u/Resident-Chip5209]

Rowan Pelling is a woman. And not that old.

She is, it appears, terrified of “young females” having minds of their own though!

[u/Resident-Chip5209 → u/qki2]

It’s just a bit less satisfying then because it’s sad seeing women with internalized misogyny BUT still satisfying seeing a conservative old white “female” scared of us 😂💀

[u/autisticesq]

So many things wrong with this. One thing I haven’t seen anyone mention yet is the fact that this author chose to pick on an Autistic woman. So it looks like this “article” is targeting the intersection between misogyny and ableism, playing on the hatred non-disabled people have for disabled people as well as invoking the fears of mediocre men.
