anyone in this thread who is still pushing the "bootstraps"/"man-up" rhetoric is just a leftist who agree with women to improve their career prospects even though they don't actually believe it

they're more dangerous to younger men with less life experience because this strategy works for a corporate rat who is willing to deal with the diversity training. on paper it doesn't seem so bad to just agree with women, then you start to see what decisions they make on how they choose men and the entire worldview falls apart.

the women you decided to agree with politically in the hopes you will be accepted by the social group will just pick the more attractive guy, get pregnant and he will leave her. but she won't pick you because you are genetically inferior to her (in her mind, this is rarely the case in actuality, most women are average at best genetically).

the outcome is that you are now a cuck, civilizationally. you will work until you die paying taxes to the government who will give that money to women who will never pick you. and if you do manage to find a woman, she will divorce rape you once you've amassed a certain amount of money and go find a better guy.

this is the fate that awaits every leftist male. the only viable alternative is to implement right wing policies that remove things like child support and alimony, reduce all tax money to women's causes and make the government more neutral. if women really care about these causes so much they can fund them without government money.
