the_dunk_tank
It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

To the men reading this with some recognition: if you have been trained by society to see your own self worth as being only about what you can sacrifice of yourself for others, it’s possible to change that. It’s a slow, gradual, and difficult process, but you can learn to surround yourself with people who value you for who you are, to allow yourself to be vulnerable enough to accept that appreciation, to view yourself as innately worthy of love and attention, and to set healthy boundaries which protect your mental/emotional resources without isolating you from others. If you find yourself agreeing with this post, you’re not alone, but the path out is not to blame women. The patriarchy did this to you and the healing process will involve a lot of introspection and taking responsibility for things that are not necessarily your fault. That kind of self-determination is well worth it
