When YouTube Red-Pills the Love of Your Life

Not to mention terms that are thrown around like "toxic masculinity" used to describe so-called toxic things that men do that are seen as masculine or whatever, but you'd never look at another group's toxic behaviour like for instance in the black community where there are disproportionately high crime rates and call it "toxic blackness", or focus on ISIS and call it "toxic Islam". You'd quite rightly be called a racist if you were to do that, but no it's fine to use the term for problems (real and perceived) with how men conduct themselves.

Yeah you can't call yourself a leftist/liberal/progressive and embrace misogyny and sexism, liberalism is based on the idea of equality and egalitarianism. Sexism is antithetical to the progressive left, and the Red-pill "movement" holds misogyny as its central tenet.

I think it's foolish to equate leftist politics with feminism. I'll bet Che Guevara treated women like playthings. In fact, I can recall that the rise of radical feminism in the late 60s to early 70s derailed the New Left somewhat as a lot of women woke up to how charismatic leftist leaders were using them as a means of entertainment after a hard day of organizing protests, and went public about it.

Equating being black with leftist political leanings is indicative of a naïve understanding of American culture and politics. I think this all got started with @Marknis equating redneck and hip-hop culture, which I believe is a valid comparison.

Interwoven but not congruent. In fact, I believe it's quite possible to be a feminist while holding what would otherwise be considered right-wing points of view on most issues.

Anybody who believes socialism is incompatible with the right of the political spectrum has obviously never heard of Mr. Christopher Lasch. I myself am a proud conservative on social issues and socialist on economic issues.

[Color=firebrick]Well they're not as tolerant of men who don't fit somewhere into traditional gender roles, but the far left aren't very tolerant of those who do, especially if they're also heterosexual and Caucasian. Men in general are frequently deemed oppressors despite most of us just going about our day. When looking at the worst abusers out there like rapists and murderers (in which category, yeah, the majority are male, for mostly biological reasons), we're either lumped in with them or told it's our responsibility to fix things even though most of us would never dream of perpetrating such crimes and have no responsibility for those that are perpetrated.

Whenever there is a gender imbalance somewhere in favour of men, it must be corrected immediately to ensure that women are equally represented, but then when women overtake men so that the imbalance is skewed in the opposite direction (like in higher education), that's fine.
