We already disgrace ourselves by having some of the core ideologies of our society being blatant lies.

We have been repeatedly told that "equality" is primordial to our values. That men had to forego their privileges in the name of it.

The hypocrisy of the defenders of those ideas suddenly being so complacent when we look at the other side of the coin is revolting.

Just curious – what privileges do you feel you've had to give up on the path to a slightly more equitable society?

Because as a man myself I honestly wouldn't be able to say which privileges I've lost that my forefathers enjoyed, besides sexism with impunity. In fact, I have it easier, for the time being at least. No military conscription for one. And with the recognition that the patriarchy hurts all I've been able to actualize myself in a way that is more authentic to myself than the constraints of past generations would have allowed.

		> what privileges do you feel you've had to give up on the path to a slightly more equitable society? None. The privileges that I was supposed to enjoy thanks to my gender were either vastly exaggerated or already revoked. But I still get to "enjoy" the measures installed to counterbalance and compensate for them anyway. > No military conscription for one Lucky you. I don't. And the voters for "equality" massively voted to keep it that way for me a few months ago [0] [0] https://www.rts.ch/info/suisse/2025/article/double-non-aux-i...
