This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

So very close to identifying the patriarchy and that men are victims of it too, and then wild miss at the end. sigh so, so close.

men don't universally conform to a stereotype

therefore they must all confirm to a different stereotype

also women bad

Anon, tell me you've never read Sappho without saying "I never read Sappho":

Some say an army of horsemen,
some of footsoldiers, some of ships,
is the fairest thing on the black earth,
but I say it is what one loves.

It’s very easy to make this clear
to everyone, for Helen,
by far surpassing mortals in beauty,
left the best of all husbands

and sailed to Troy,
mindful of neither her child
nor her dear parents, but
with one glimpse she was seduced by

Aphrodite. For easily bent...
and nimbly...[missing text]...
has reminded me now
of Anactoria who is not here;

I would much prefer to see the lovely
way she walks and the radiant glance of her face
than the war-chariots of the Lydians or
their footsoldiers in arms.

Of course they haven't read Sappho, they only read Shaprio of some Ben.

I think a few people here have to remind themselves:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Fake: Anon almost manages to question whether there's a problem with predatory culture, but fails at it.

Gay: literally the post, anon worships men

Real answer, up until the last parts Anon was doing so well. The issue is that a lot of women fear men because unlike bears, a lot of them have bad apples who can manipulate well, and they are also likely to harass for longer.. a bear will just maul you or chill, much simpler, more predictable.

No matter what bear, you know what you are getting, a fucking bear.

No matter what man, you have no idea what you are getting, they could be a saint or a monster or both.

told men don't feel, don't love, don't care

Yes, that's what feminists mean when we speak of toxic masculinity. Societal enforcement of rigid gender roles are bad for women and men.

This is basic, foundational stuff in modern feminism.
