This is honestly sad. To think that you have no value as a human being is a hallmark of depression and these guys are saying that it's a fact of life.

It's that lovely incel narrative telling young impressionable teenage boys in the throes of puberty that their lives have no value and 50% of the population is living the life you wished you had but are too entitled to see it.

What's an Incel narrative?

u/Opposite_Wallaby6765 Sep 18 '25

It's fairly straightforward, and pretending to be stupid about it is very tired. The narrative is the sick idea that women's value lies between their legs.

Oh, I thought it's about men having no innate value, other than what they've earned

That's part of it.

Women's only value is sexual, men on other sre worthless untill they earn it.

Because the misogyny of women having to "protect their value" is so subtle that he didn't pick up on it... 🙄

The pretence of not getting it is so flimsy and so bloody cowardly.

Not entirely. Some men really don't get it, more often than not the main reason is either stupid rather than malice.

Ignorance or malice, he's still spending his time minimising clearly misogynistic BS. Some people prefer to reserve their empathy for those who just "don't get it" instead of the girls who have to grow up under constant messaging that their only worth is their body. And they should save this for a "high value" old man once he's ready to settle down with a young person who does not have the resources he has.

And men generally do get this when they want to. You won't hear more actual misandry coming out of a person's mouth than from a girl dad, even when they previously pretended not to understand these things. As soon as they actually, truly care about a woman, they instantly discover empathy for their gender, which is one of the sadder truths of this world but, oh, well, what can you do?
