Women create most of their own issues and then blame men for not fixing them.

Obviously I'm not saying all their problems cause men are pretty fucked but most of the problems women complain about are because of other women.

Especially when it comes to beauty standards.

I wouldn't have realy thought so, but since you are getting the downvotes, I guess you are right! I'll upvote you since you've apparently found a taboo subject.

I was really tempted to stop reading after the first sentence - this sounded like it was going to be an incel thing. That's probably part of it.

Yes, toxic femininity is a real thing too. Many women are willing to acknowledge that in my experience, though.

People presumably aren't downvoting because it's a taboo, they just think he's wrong. Because that's a fucking idiotic take.

Some do, but not nearly all of them. The block button is very effective against that. Especially if you're on an instance that has downvotes disabled
