Imagine releasing a product that doesn't properly do what you promised it would do...

and then blaming the malfunction on people who did not purchase said product...

whilst telling those who bought it that they must buy it again every few months.
Now imagine you also have to buy the product to keep your current job... Perhaps even to go to a concert, gym, or shop.

And if you criticise or even question the efficacy of the product or its rollout, you get insulted, slandered, and perhaps deplatformed.
Imagine that if the product hurts you, then you are not allowed to sue the manufacturer... They have full legal immunity.

In fact, even if it hurts you, you are told you must buy it again, or you're a bad person.

It's actually taboo to even talk about the fact that it hurt you.
Also, imagine the manufacturer of this product had to pay out one of the biggest lawsuits in history, due to dishonesty and malfeasance.

And they don't want to give the public full data about the product and research for another 75 years.
Of course, this is all hypothetical.

Nobody would consider this a realistic nor reasonable way to handle any product.

Merely working on my fiction writing skills for a future dystopian novel, set in a time when humans have gone mad and nothing makes sense.

Both men and women are more honest towards men than they are towards women.

It's harder to live in longterm delusion as a man because other men, women, and life give you harsh, rapid feedback. Nobody cares to coddle you.

Short term, this hurts, but long term, it's an advantage.
This phenomenon is a major reason why 'body positivity' and 'fat acceptance' are female domains, not male ones.

You cannot convince an obese man that he is 'beautiful' or 'gorgeous' or 'perfect just how he is'. We don't get positive validation for mediocrity or failure.

Good.
It's also why self-improvement content for women is usually focused on affirmation and validation. "You are enough. You are a goddess".

Whereas male self-improvement is direct, harsh, and frank. "You are not meeting the standard. You need to do better."

Masculinity is demanded but ridiculed.

Men are told to 'man up' but to 'man down'.

To be 'stoic' but 'emotionally vulnerable'.

To 'protect and provide' but not to.

That women are 'equal' but not really.

This is deranging. Particularly for young men with little guidance.
Increasing numbers of men really have no idea what society, women, and other men expect of them.

It's not surprising with so much mixed messaging. A lot of their dads probably didn't know either.

People do everything to destroy gender roles, then demand them back 5 mins later.
Many women get caught up in this as well.

They play the 'strong & independent' game to fit in and meet modern expectations but then struggle to meet traditional ones.

Or they long to be more traditional and are attacked for needing a man and not being 'independent'

It's goofy.

18 valuable success tips I've learned over the past 18 years:

1/ If you don't believe in yourself, nobody else will. Become a fan of yourself first before seeking wider attention and acknowledgment.
2/ Strangers will often support you more than your friends and family. Don't be disheartened by that. Be encouraged.
3/ Learn to differentiate between friends, fans, followers, and customers. They overlap but they're not the same and your expectations and approach for each should be different.

The fact an idea as obviously incoherent as 'transgenderism' has gained so much traction in the West demonstrates the downsides of hyper liberalism and 'tolerance' at all costs.

How about we tolerate and affirm reality?
It's not even 'tolerance' or 'liberalism' when the people (especially women) who speak up in defense of reality are maligned, threatened, and attacked.

The entire charade is ridiculous.

A man isn't a woman and a woman isn't a man. And nobody is 'non-binary'. Stop being dumb.
10 years ago, nobody believed this nonsense.

Now, millions are pretending to, while the majority know it's nonsense but won't say that it's nonsense. People are tying themselves up in knots to not state the obvious.

It is weaponised compassion.

Unless you are truly wealthy, I think spending vast sums of money on a wedding is foolish.

Some people focus more on the wedding than the marriage, and it shows.
Fancy weddings are really for the sake of the bride and family & friends.

Most men don't really care and would get married in a cardboard box if their family and fiancée were cool with it. 😂
I am gonna start calling this whole thing 'The Marriage Industrial Complex'.
