…I swear these takes mainly reveal the fact that conservatives like you just see women as objects and that you don’t care about genuine partnership.

That may be an exception, but my best friend (temporarily not, but I'm sure he'll be that again) is in general pretty progressive, but when it comes to relationships, starts spewing something about "anti-male laws", feminists and so on.

And I know he doesn't see women as objects.

Some of us simply have overvalued ideas caused by trauma. I can't imagine what that was with him, because I remember him not being like that.

To be clear, I called that dude a conservative because of his username combined with his comment.

Leaving that aside, our patriarchal capitalist society (yeah yeah, buzzwords, I know) is very good as misdirecting frustration to mask the underlying dynamics; a lot of people, both men and women, are increasingly lonely because of societal problems. Decreased social cohesion because of different urban planning and the focus on the nuclear family for example, both of which are directly tied to capitalist ideology.

If you then get frustrated and blame that on feminism, that’s textbook conservative thought. A lot of people are misled into thinking these things (because misdirection of frustration is crucial to capitalism), even people who mostly aren’t conservative themselves. That’s just a product of the ubiquity of conservative thought.

Either way, I hope you can help your friend to escape that way of thinking. It’d be better for everyone.
