  5.  @jazzm786  Oh really? Let's actually analyse some data and statistics on why men are actually heavily disadvantage today. Legally: 1. Justice courts heavily disadvantage men and give them harsher penalties for the same crime compared to women 2. Family courts are so stacked against men that alimony, child support and child custody goes at rates higher than 90% to women 3. Affirmative action, which gives male students lower scores when try to enter unis solely due to their gender Socially: 1. Men commit suicide at 3:1 rate compared to women 2. 70% of homeless people are men 3. 90% of deaths in the workplace are men 4. 78% of homicide victims are men 5. Almost all war deaths are men 6. Men are more likely to get robbed 7. 33% of young men(in 2018 now it's higher) are virgins or haven't had s3x in a year 8. Men are more likely to have mental disorders like autism 9. Women outweigh men in college enrollments and graduations with the disparage being higher than that of men against women in the 1970s 10. Women are more likely to be hired in STEM jobs 11. Men are very oftenly deemed p3dophiles when being around children 12. Testicular cancer raises a lot less money than breast cancer through charity 13. Men have 0 reproductive rights 14. There are almost no help centers for male victims of rape or domestic abuse 15. Physical abuse against men committed by women is at many times socially acceptable and almost never punished 16. School systems are built in a way that heavily discriminates against the male nature of the students 17. The average man is considered unattractive by the average woman 18. Women swipe on 4.5% of men compared to men swiping on 60% of women in dating apps And those are just a few things that popped on my head. Your argument is a logical fallacy by the way. "Men are ruling the world". Yes most elites and politicians in high positions are men. These people are less than 1% of the male population. They do not remotely represent the average man. The average man has it fare worse than the average woman.

  19.  @thatguy9088  It's odd that you'd think I wouldn't know who my great grandfather was or my great great grandfather. In fact I know their entire life stories. My great grandfather was close to a genius of his time but that's besides the point. Legacy is the least of my worries when it comes to children. If you are religious (which you probably are not) you do have God given responsibilities. But even if you are not, humans are by nature responsible to procreate so we keep our species from extinction. It's not only a proclivity of ours, but even if you look at the Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, procreation is at the bottom level along with shelter, food, water, etc. It's great that we've outsourced this through technology, but that imperative is still there deep ingrained in your DNA. I'll say this. I do believe that men can occupy themselves with other things (such as physical labor or hobbies that create things) to alleviate some of the emptiness that having no family brings better than women can. And since it's bound that some men will be unable to procreate (it's a very common thing throughout history) ,the burden of procreation doesn't weighs on us as much. I'd still say as a man, that building a family is not only the most important responsibility but also the greatest source of true happiness. Eudemonia. Relationships and bonds are the stronger sources of true happiness and that's a theme perpetrated not only by the greatest philosophers but also some very credited psychological studies. And the greatest and strongest bond one can build, is that with his children. Being respected, being acknowledged and awarded are great. But in the end, they can't replace a family. That's my bit. I can only respect someone who goes in the childless way as long as they themselves acknowledge that this is an innately selfish and egocentric decision.

  21.  @thatguy9088  If you are religious then you are completely wrong on the procreation part. The people in the bible that went unmarried and childless, were married to God. Monks, pastors, saints etc dedicated their entire lives into faith and God ,so they married God. Those who don't though, definitely have the responsibility to procreate. But that's religious talk, which isn't the point here. I am not going to force anyone. I am criticising and I am 100% free to do so. In fact without people criticising and caring about social issues that are so important, society would crumble in an instant. This idea that we should not give a damn about anything other than our own life is a very egocentric and individualistic way to view life. And that's fine as long as you understand that. From what I have experienced, the most happy old people did have children. I have never met a truly happy senior that had no children but ofc that's just my experience, so I can't bring facts into it. Are there loners that will be happy living without a family well into their senior years? Sure. But most people are not meant for it. As for "jumping off buildings and despair". That's actually partially true. The main reason men commit suicide at such high rates is because of loneliness. As for women, childless women over 40 have the highest rates of depression and anxiety medication consumption (1 in 3). That's a pretty scary thing to think about. So yes, I ain't gonna change your mind but that's not my goal here anyways. My goal is to deter as many people as possible from this (usually) destructive path of narcissism and individualism which the vast majority of people will regret. You may be the exception and enjoy the life you've built up to the end without family. Who knows? I certainly don't. As for your last statement, I don't have children (yet) but my woman was never and is still not a slut and dear technology blessed us with a thing called paternity tests. Something we've both agreed on when the time comes. Good day back to ya.

  33.  @jazzm786  You're clearly delusional. There's a men's rights movement but no one gives a solitary f*ck about it. But please, enlighten me on how Western feminism has actually helped those "billions of women" the past decade or two. Just give me a few things that they actually did. Another big fallacy you make is that you think that the elites are working in favor of men. They are not. In fact they step on men's backs to get where they want. Men are the best gender to use as a slaving stepping tool due to their biological characteristics. No these court laws exist because society was set out to punish men and the elites to get pocket money. The reason why divorce was pushed and insentivised was because the government pockets some of the money that the men are forced to pay child support for. You clearly don't care about women's issues because I don't see you protesting or funding organisations on countries that there is actual inequality. Of course though you definitely don't care about men's issues. You're just like everyone else in this evil society, men are 2nd class citizens and society does absolutely nothing to solve the social issues of men that I pointed out. So the only issue for women you can bring up is abortion? First and foremost abortion is not a right. Secondly it wasn't outlawed, it was given back to the states. Thirdly abortion is an objectively evil act. Whether they should be legal or not is up to the morality of the people. If you think killing a baby is a right then maybe you should rethink your life choices. As for 0 reproductive rights. Men have 0 say on whether their child is born or not. A man wants the child? If the woman doesn't ,it gets aborted (in most of the West). A man doesn't want the child? If the woman wants it, it will be born and on top of that the man would be financially reliable for it. So in a sense, states that banned or heavily restricted abortions only leveled the playing field. Now no one is allowed to dispose of their baby and now everyone is responsible for their own children. We still need feminism? Really? Why? Give me a couple of good reasons on why we actually need feminism in the West. Because from what I've seen feminism nowadays is a female supremacy movement that has only caused heavy destruction in our societies. From broken families, to depressed lonely old career women.

  42. @Justice Keith-LeClaire Your bs excuses keep coming. I don't know which one is funnier, throwing years of your life into a useless degree or making excuses to defend a clearly selfish decision, which is prioritizing yourself and your inane needs over your responsibilities and duties. Again you seem to be repeating that I bring up religion when I never explicitly did. As for bringing up country. Do you think people who give 0 sh*ts about the country they live in are not narcissists? The country you live in is the extended community you live in. If your country collapses, you are gonna be greatly affected. So acting partly on your duties to your country should be on every normal person's checklist. "Choose a better life for THEMSELVES". Here, you just proved my entire hypothesis. People seem to chase momentarily or even prolonged happiness instead of searching for eudemonia. How do you think your life will be better? If you have a bigger house? Maybe a better car? Or how about working 10 hours a day on your career that can fire you on a whim? Dying alone seems great right? These inane and superficial goals and dreams only manifest in this superficial and materialistic society. Instead of striving to create strong bonds and relationships with people, you strive for pointless dreams and aspirations. And guess what? There is no stronger bond and relationship than that of a parent and a child. That's the problem. "Provide the best life possible". What's this bs? Do you think you need to cuddle your kid and give him a fully comfortable life for him to have a happy childhood? From my experience, children in the middle-lower middle class are having the best childhoods. They grow up and learn how to be grateful and humble (most do). The excuses of "the costs are too high" or "I can't provide the best life for my child" are utter bs. Garbage excuses. Children can be raised extremely well in the poverty line. Money is the least of the things you should be worrying about when raising children. As long as you can provide them with food, a place to live and clothes you don't need anything else. Everything after that is extra. The life lessons and the character of your child are the integral part. Another fallacy is saying that poor children or unwanted children "don't stand a chance". That's an extremely privileged way to view things. I've met some great people who were orphans or lived in sh*tpoor conditions. In my country, I grew up in lower-middle class which would be considered close to poverty line in the Us. Had a great childhood and now working towards my best self. Bringing children to this world and abandoning them are two very different things. Unless you are the type of person to abandon your children, why would you use that as an excuse? And if you are the type of person to abandon your children, then you got far bigger problems than narcissism. See, all your inane excuses are easily debunked. Most excuses to not have children are that way. Why? Because putting yourself and what you think you need above everything else is by definition a narcissistic mindset. Maybe one day you people will grow up and mature and understand that sacrifice is part of life.
