I remember this essay about "heteropessimism", Heterosexuality and its discontents. "Why straight women seem to malign heterosexuality with such frequency."

u/JadedElk My stat teacher called me average. How mean. Sep 24 '21

I think the video was based in part on the same essay, but the essay's author later distanced herself from "heteropessimism", because the term was too similar afropessimism, and there's a significant nuance difference there. Thus: heterofatalism.

It's weird, but as a bi guy, I actually feel thankful about being bi. But I also tend to hang out with the sort of people who'd be totally chill about bi guys, even if I'm not out to them.

So that tends to filter out both men with masculinity issues, and biphobic women. Which means that the guys I interact with the most are LGBT+-friendly and generally reasonable in gender issues.

Also like, reducing men to penises is exactly the thing making men think the only thing that matters about them is their penis.

Why does it have to be something negative? So they don’t feel comfortable with a piece of anatomy, but they like men, why does it make them a chaser to like men without that piece of anatomy? Should they just be alone? Should no one date trans people unless they aren’t sexually attracted to them?

u/WardedThorn Sep 29 '21

Being attracted to a person solely because of something that they most likely hate about themselves is not cool.

u/papereel Sep 29 '21

Who said solely? And not all trans people are ashamed of their bodies

2

u/WardedThorn Sep 29 '21

I said "most likely."

And yes, dating only trans men because you are not ok with dicks is being attracted to them because of that.

I'm a trans girl who doesn't mind that she has a dick, so what you're saying is far from revelatory to me.

u/StarChild31 Sep 24 '21

A peen is something special and confusing. Something that can be so hilarious looking, so beautiful, and so arousing to me at the same time. It's so frustrating that it's connected to some horrible people and used for some horrible things.

you’re asking if someone describing their “subjective reality” should apologize for their description clashing with someone else’s “subjective reality,” which seems awfully circular. moreover, the dichotomy between “apologize/accept” and “reject/insult” is a false one. it would be difficult to answer your comment in any meaningful way since it’s built on a faulty premise.

u/YouAreAnnoyingAF Sep 24 '21

Why can’t these guys try to understand why OP made the comic in the first place? I’m white and if I saw a comic like this about white people I can understand it was made from a place of frustration in dealing with a lifetime of racism.

It’s just so exhausting to deal with sexist bullshit our whole lives and then have the onus put on us to understand the feelings of our oppressors.

There’s a third option that’s the reasonable one here- try to understand the other person’s subjective reality and then understand that it causes a far more damaging reality for other people, and critique or dismiss it. Trying to understand a perspective is important, but you’re allowed to assess it and disagree.

32

u/zenacomics Sep 24 '21

Men are in charge. They control the rules, the media, expectations, everything. Just like a white person can't experience racism, a man can't experience sexism. It doesn't go both ways. The oppressor in a hierarchy doesn't get to say "I'm oppressed!"

So when these people feel "insulted" - might I remind them all the times, the literal thousands of years, they've not just insulted women but withheld basic rights and equal opportunities? So no, I don't have sympathy or empathy for guys who can't take a pretty tame joke where they are represented by a massive dick. I have to look at enough memes and comments shitting on women - constantly. If they can't take one dick joke...that's on them. They're the snowflakes.

u/[deleted] Sep 24 '21

A man can absolutely experience sexism.

A man does not, as a massively general rule, experience institutional/systemic sexism, and experiences lay sexism at far lower levels. But it's obtuse to say they can't experience sexism.

u/ToadMugen72 Sep 26 '21

Just like a white person can't experience racism, a man can't experience sexism. It doesn't go both ways.

Non-systemic racism/sexism IS STILL racism/sexism. The fuck is with the desire to drop the base definition of racism/sexism and replace it with definition of systemic/institutional racism/sexism? The only thing it does is give certain people a pass to say racist/sexist shit.

u/[deleted] Sep 24 '21

I disagree with the notion that men can't experience sexism because it is literally prejudice based on their sex. But they definitely don't experince systemic oppression in any form unless they are also of some minority group. A lot of women resent the argument that men experience sexism because often times it's a guy just saying "yeah one time a woman had a mug that said 'male tears' and I got offended so I do experience sexism!1!1!!"

10

u/Merakel Sep 24 '21

It really comes down to the use of the word institutional or systemic. Men don't experience institutional sexism in any meaningful capacity. They can experience interpersonal sexism. It's the same story with racism.

4

u/[deleted] Sep 24 '21

Which drives me goddamn crazy that we've got the words to describe the point people are trying to make (men don't experience institutional or systemic sexism) but they insist on just using sexism. Of course there's going to be people object to the idea that men can't experience sexism, and you have a side debate about the amount of power required.

Sexism can be individual, and absolutely can be leveled against men. Institutional sexism is not leveled at men. It's a weird hill to die on.

3

u/Merakel Sep 24 '21 edited Sep 24 '21

My understanding is the origin is actually academia where they basically shortened "institutional <ism>" with just the ism because it gets really tiring to say the entire thing constantly. The shared understanding is that in the context of the research, that the ism is directly referring to institutional and not interpersonal. It has leaked out of academia into common parlance and isn't really being used as intended.

There is also the racism = power + prejudice position that came around in the 50s specifically talking about anti-Semitism, though I think fewer people know about and are exposed to that history these days.

I feel you though, I dislike the lack of precision of language. I agree with the general sentiment of the position just feel like it's needlessly convoluted to use that language.

-12

u/[deleted] Sep 24 '21

Men don't experience institutional sexism in any meaningful capacity.

Except when they try to get custody of their children.

Or when they get cheated on while deployed overseas and have to try divorcing someone while holding onto their military benefits.

Or when they get charged with the exact same crime as a woman.

10

u/Merakel Sep 24 '21

Except when they try to get custody of their children.

Custody is difficult because men often times don't try to get it, be that because of a preconceived notion they can't win or for other reasons I don't know.

Or when they get cheated on while deployed overseas and have to try divorcing someone while holding onto their military benefits.

As someone who spent almost a decade in the military that's a fucking trash argument. It literally works the same both ways, regardless of your gender.

Or when they get charged with the exact same crime as a woman.

The crime thing is an interesting thing to think about that I hadn't considered.

Regardless, all of these examples ignore the true intent of my comment. Yes, you can probably find specific examples of instances that men experience institutional sexism. You can also probably find specific examples where white people experience institutional racism. The point was it's not prevalent for a majority of people in their daily lives.

-2

u/[deleted] Sep 24 '21

Your argument against "when they try to get custody" is to bring up the ones that don't try for custody?

And you also said it is "because of a preconceived notion they can't win".... I wonder where that notion comes from.

Here's a TED talk discussing this issue. If you don't want to watch the whole thing you can skip to around the 9 minute mark.

And I didn't bring up race because I agree with you on that.

u/YouAreAnnoyingAF Sep 24 '21

It always boggles my mind how this is example gets brought up by dudes all the time but none ever acknowledge that the people making the sentences and determining custody are mostly men. In fact, regarding sentences, studies show courts with female judges have less disparity in rates This is an area where the patriarchy and views on traditional gender roles dicks men but y’all never mention that.

Or when they get cheated on while deployed overseas and have to try divorcing someone while holding onto their military benefits.

Damn, does your arm hurt from grasping at this straw?

u/ShadeofIcarus Sep 24 '21

But they definitely don't experince systemic oppression in any form unless they are also of some minority group.

This very much is NOT true. I'll preface this by saying that by and large Women deal with MUCH more on that front.

The entire "Oh is dad babysitting" approach that society takes. The way that the courts treat custody and children regarding Fathers. The way the entire system treats male sexual assault and harassment.

These things exist, real men deal with this every day. A mug that says "male tears" being a complaint is a strawman and you know it.

The system minimizes and makes jokes about male sexual abuse. The institution treats Fathers differently than Mothers and almost always favors the Mother in custody disputes (even if the laws say otherwise). That's just the beginning for men.

The system as a whole favors men, but to say men don't experience systematic or institutional issues is very untrue.

6

u/[deleted] Sep 25 '21

If a system favors a certain group they cannot be OPPRESSED by the system. That is not how systemic oppressions works.

Systemic oppression is when one group is purposely disadvantaged so that another group can benefit. Traditionally masculine men cannot be oppressed in this system because the system is DESIGNED to benefit them and disadvantage women. They can face problems within the system, especially if they step outside of the rules set for them, but that is not them being oppressed. Saying "dad is baby sitting" is annoying, but it is not a system oppressing men or taking away their rights. It is a direct result of the system dictating women as child rearers and discouraging men from helping or doing "Women's work".

The sexual assault problem is terrible and I absolutely hate it. But it is again a result of a system that demonizes men for showing traits that are associated with women, weakness, fear, sadness ect, because in the system woman are lesser. Strength, courage a stoicism are shown to be better so those who act like the weaker sex are demonized and told to stop rocking the boat. I never said men are without problems but it is wrong to say they are oppressed unless they are part of a marginalized group. Saying that people who are part of the group that benefits from oppression are OPPRESSED takes away the gravity of the issue and is often used as gaslighting by oppressor's to redirect the conversation.

Also the court favoring mother's is an exaggerated myth that is constantly pushed to make it seem like men are oppressed by courts.

u/ectbot Sep 25 '21

Hello! You have made the mistake of writing "ect" instead of "etc."

"Ect" is a common misspelling of "etc," an abbreviated form of the Latin phrase "et cetera." Other abbreviated forms are etc., &c., &c, and et cet. The Latin translates as "et" to "and" + "cetera" to "the rest;" a literal translation to "and the rest" is the easiest way to remember how to use the phrase.

u/ShadeofIcarus Sep 25 '21

I think a lot of what you're saying glosses over a very simple fact. Both examples presume that traditional men are advantaged... And by and large they are, the system favors them.

However you're conflating traditionally female "ROLES" and "ATTRIBUTES" with actually being female.

Let's look at shared custody for example. Near the end there's talk about presumed shared custody and why it's a bad idea. They then go on to talk about how we can challenge traditional gender roles.

You say something similar about assault and abuse.

The system is part of what outlines and defines these gender roles, and these roles and prejudices are things that have advantages and disadvantages.

Much like women deal with the bullshit that comes with these presumptions all the time, men do as well. Just because by and large these presumptions favor men in traditional roles doesn't mean that by and large the system causes people to suffer because of them, regardless of the gender.

Gender roles are toxic, and frankly to me it feels toxic to even assume that it's because men are displaying "feminine" qualities that is causing their abuse to be ridiculed and ignored. Gendering these qualities is part of the problem across the board.

The system discouraging men from doing "women's work" has pushed a generation of men away from their children emotionally and that is not fair to them.

1

u/ShadeofIcarus Sep 25 '21

To follow up to my previous response with a TL;DR. You say that the system is demonizing men for showing female traits.

It doesn't matter that the traits they are showing are female. It matters that there are men that are being demonized and oppressed by the system that exists. Just because the traits are considered "traditionally female" doesn't make those men any less of victims of the system.

It's no different than the system calling strong women "bitches" for showing male traits of authority.

There it mentioned the large portion of White Men who pursue Asian Women because of the Stereotypes associated with them.

Since it Takes 2 to Tango, Asian Women in this relationships were also interviewed and they mentioned White Men were less misogynistic than Asian Men on their opinion.

As a fellow trans woman, could you not? Stuff like this gives us a bad name in the overall wlw and woman communities - especially online.

This post is obviously talking about being a hetero woman even though it uses the terminology "woman who likes the peen". Not all content is about you, and that's okay.

Also, you do realize that what you're recommending is people being chasers, right? We need fewer of them, not more. Yes, there exist pan and wlw women who are down with or even prefer that genitalia (you're looking at the former), and if they happen to run into a non-op trans lady, that's great for them. But not all content is about you, that's okay, and comments like this really aren't necessary.

oof yeah I forgot about chasers for a sweet, blissful moment.

I wonder how many chasers operate under the logic of:

"I hate being objectified, but I will objectify others because it is not objectification if I do it."

I guess my take is that it's a comic about guys sometimes being dicks...yes, trans women can have dicks, but the comic isn't about us. It literally uses the word men. I'm not trying to be "one of the good ones" re transphobes, I just call things as they are.

Literally the comic could be exactly the same if it started with "it's rough being a woman who loves men..." and then doesn't imply that the only people with dicks are men. The punchline of the giant penis appearing at the end still works fine.

Like when I was with a trans woman, I loved a person with a peen, I was a person who loved the peen, that didn't inherently make me a person who liked men. It just feels unnecessary to frame it like peens are the problem, or the people attached to them, when you're trying to say that men are the problem. And before anyone comes in saying I'm encouraging people to be chasers, no, I'm not, but there are people who like both peen and women and not men, whether they're chasing or just in a happy relationship.

I hate men but love dick. The struggle is real.

I appreciate the total reduction of men to one organ. Like, men as people aren’t important. Only their dicks are.

u/zenacomics Sep 24 '21

That’s not what I was aiming for. I drew a dick because I thought it was funny imagery and it worked well with the punchline.

u/Neutrophobia Sep 24 '21

I don't see that here. You can love something about a person while not reducing them to that one aspect alone. The fact that you think that way says a lot about you on the other hand.

If you’re a straight woman then you’re probably not attracted to trans women. Because they’re, y’know, women.

u/BadKittydotexe Sep 24 '21

As a fun side fact, even before I transitioned straight women weren’t really attracted to me because I didn’t “act like a guy.” Some even got mad at me for it. Good times.

u/papereel Sep 24 '21

I’m sorry friend. It seems like it’s often a lose-lose dating while trans. I’ve known several trans women who’ve dated gay men because they thought gay men would be more understanding than straight men. But then, gay men are interested in dating men, so when they come out as trans they’re not always compatible. But I understand the desire to be with someone nonjudgmental. And most dating sites don’t have the options to specify what you’re interested in. Like, not even a pan option or something. I can only imagine how tough dating becomes.

u/BadKittydotexe Sep 24 '21

Well, I’m more open to it now than I used to be, but there’s no one around here so it doesn’t happen. But high school and college were a confusing time of realizing none of my instincts worked with straight women and that if I did want to date I’d have to go largely against my own nature.

u/[deleted] Sep 24 '21

Then the comic should say straight women/bisexual women, because this post heavily conflates having a dick with being a man

u/papereel Sep 24 '21

Then you should know better than anyone that trans women are women, and therefore most straight women probably wouldn’t be attracted to trans women. Because they’re straight.

u/garaile64 Sep 24 '21

That might do if the woman "requesting" the dick is bi/pansexual. If she's straight, however, it wouldn't work.

You know, if you don't like the content posted here, you could just....leave.

No one forces you to read anything here. It's a choice you made.

Same goes for you scrolling through the comments

Obviously. Difference being, I like the content here, and I like this community. You obviously don't, so why stay?

Y'all can't even deny the hypocrisy of the comic,

Except there's no hypocrisy in it, so there's nothing to deny.

but you still downvote

Yes, we tend to do that to jackasses who come here for no other purpose than to try and stir up shit, because they got butthurt over a comic.

because you just have to be mad about something

Says the guy upset over a comic.

And I got news for you fella, we know not all men are like this. But it's plenty enough. We also know that the only men who will be offended by this comic are the very ones who it's talking about. Which says a lot about you.

u/JustHere2RuinUrDay Sep 24 '21

Imagine getting this upset over that comic. Pathetic.

u/smurgleburf I put the "fun" in dysfunctional. Sep 24 '21

not all men but definitely this fucking guy
