Okay I feel like I have posted a lot of hot takes in the forums lately (swear I'll stop LOL), but I had to say this one somewhere.
~~
In the forums (and society to be honest) its so frequent to see people clumping women into one monolith, or perhaps even a few arbitrary categories to describe them. Often this is accompanied by quite frankly, bizarre and negative judgments (like women manipulate men, they’re obsessed with attention, they cheat because men throw themselves at them and they are so vain about the attention). This makes absolutely no sense and it makes the person doing it appear absolutely hypocritical (at least in my eyes).
If a person were to say, clump all men into one group, attribute a bunch of negative stereotypes to them, like: all men are pigs and dogs, they have no loyalty, if you marry one they’ll just manipulate and cheat on you, knock you around, and sit on the couch in a dirty T-shirt and drink beer all day (LOLOL!! Just for clarification, this is just a hypothetical description, not what I think at all!), these same men would appear out of nowhere saying: “not all men,” “we’re not all like that,” “that’s so ignorant that you would just believe that,” “I can guarantee you, that’s simply not true and only a small number of men.”
Like, huh? What in the logic?
It’s illogical to me that they are against doing the same thing to men, that they do to women all the time. Either they do not realize their hypocrisy, irrationality, and complete double standard, or they are literally completely fine with dehumanizing women, ignoring their individuality, and prefer to stay set in their own prejudices than actually questioning them.
There are over 7 billion people living on earth today, roughly half of them are women (whether cis, or trans), and you’re telling me they can easily be shoved into one or a few categories? You can’t even do that with plants or insects, bacteria, or types of cars (this is not a comparison btw, just a aid to show how ridiculous this is).
Also, as a sidenote, I’d like to talk about how irrational these books/ebooks/youtube channels are that claim to be able to teach you “the real secret on how to get women (to respect you/to fall for you/yadda yadda).” Women are clearly not a monolith, but these guys make money off that male societal assumption and rip people off with these bizarre, and frankly stupid gimmicks on how to “get women.” If these supposed secrets were any good or the “real truth”, then why are there so many conflicting opinions on how to get the “real woman!” If you read anyone of these books and compare it to another, they literally either borrow from each other, or completely contradict, leading to the real conclusion that there is no real secret to understanding or getting women to like you, because (drum roll), women are all freaking different individuals.
Hell, if you wanna make a lot of money, write one of these books. I promise you, you’ll, at the very least, make $100.
Honestly, yes, I know a lot of people will say, most porn perpetuates this. And yes, that’s completely true, but at the same time, everyone knows they’re watching a fantasy, something that isn’t real, but rather acted out. So there’s a clear connection there that the whole gimmick isn’t real, but rather a performance. So in real life, why would these same concepts apply?
Okay, that’s all, thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.

. Gotta say, I did crack up too when someone pointed that out. It would be even funnier if this thread was actually about how women aren't Monoliths (the furry kind).
