  • This is a very dangerous take, and it’s concerning how many upvoters you have, who are also not thinking critically.

    You seem to be forgetting that liberals and conservatives in this country are all Americans. We are all on one team, and foreign interests wish to divide us and convince us that we are enemies, when we are not.

    Watch this if you don’t believe me.

    Conservatives need liberals to exist as much as liberals need conservatives to exist. The day this country’s tensions between conservatism and liberalism die is the day the USA ceases to exist. That tension is at the core of our republic, literally since its founding, and it’s what makes us great, unlike any other nation on Earth.

    I wish more progressives would remember that.

    We’re going in circles now. I already asked you what’s the point of considering such a hypothetical theory (which you admitted isn’t practical) other than to distract from the real issue?

    Idk what to tell you about film other than… anyone can make a film about anything.

    The only thing stopping men from writing (or approving) more film scripts, books and other art about this very topic… is simply the lack of effort.

    You:

    this would probably solve itself if women hit on men as much as the opposite.

    Also you:

    you’re the one who interpreted it as me putting the responsibility on women.

    Okay dude. Whatever you say.

    And yes, societal change is hard, but just because you can’t think of any solutions, doesn’t mean they don’t exist. FWIW, there are plenty of practical ways to normalize behavior at the societal scale, some of the more violent & historically successful ones having already been mentioned earlier in this conversation.

    One of the most powerful (non-violent) examples that comes to mind: popular film.

    … and where do you suppose those women learned that behavior?

    Such judgments have been written, by men, into practically every religious, historical and news-based text for the greater part of the last thousand years, and passed down as dogma to men, women and children alike under penalty of ostricization or in some cases, death.

    Brainwashing is not exclusive to one gender. And while inter-gender discrimination is not as well documented as inter-racial discrimination, both have existed as long as oppressors have made it their goal to weaken the oppressed by sewing division among them.

    Please, try reading some history before you go on the internet spouting harmful opinions.
