The following seasons of westworld weren’t that bad they just weren’t as tightly plotted or as coherent or as profound as season 1, still entertaining though

Oh I forgot to say IMO the root of all of this is that we’re all alienated under late stage capitalism and our alienation and lack of community is essential for this current regime/economic to function, it thrives off of individualism

Miss a lot of the nuance when they talk about how women are socialised like yes we’re more open but we’re still put in certain boxes just like everyone else, and I agree we are seeing the extremes with the ‘male loneliness’ thing for sure, a lot of people are quietly lonely as well

Oh no dw I wasn’t getting that vibe from you at all I just meant that’s a talking point I see/hear all the time in the UK and I’m like…. So when do I get all that support and legs up you lot are talking about😂also thanks for reading that I didn’t want to come across as trauma dumping but people do

Because yes women are allowed to be more outwardly emotional/affectionate within accepted parameters, but in my case people don’t allow me to express ‘negative’ emotions such as anger, fear, sadness, and friendships are complicated too, having a friend isn’t the same thing as being ‘seen’/accepted

Realised I hadn’t expressed or identified ‘anger’ as an emotion for about 15 years at that point, I say all this to say the idea that because it’s more normalised for women to show emotion/affection, it doesn’t apply to all women and there’s a lot more nuance to it than people give credence to

I have also been adultified/sexualised since I was a child, had undiagnosed autism and adhd, and when I started to struggle in school was told that it was entirely my fault, this led to me becoming a people pleaser for the majority of my life and it wasn’t until my therapist pointed it out that I

Now with the ‘male loneliness crisis’ it’s been expanded to a societal thing right, and people say girls get so much more support and a leg up basically and I’m like… I have been treated like an adult since I was a literal baby (people expected me to be able to fully manage my emotions and ‘behave’)

In my experience (and I can really only speak for myself here), growing up as a black woman/girl in the UK, there’s this pervasive idea here that white boys/men in particular are being underserved and deprived because they’re not achieving the same as their peers in terms of grades at school and

Who we offload the majority of our social needs onto, when what we actually need are communities and support groups made up of multiple people - believe it a not a lot of the discourse around the wicked movies AND personal experience led me to this conclusion lol, that and people have a very

I agree and honestly this year particularly I’ve realised that regardless of gender we’re not very good at friendship on a societal level, and I think this is because friendships are regarded as less important and lower stakes as romantic relationships, we’re expected to have just one ‘partner’

Trumped up sensationalist issue honestly, there’s is nothing distinctly ‘male’ about the loneliness and alienation people feel in late stage capitalism, to make it only about cis men and their plight is ironically very sexist

I think what you saw was anecdotal tbh, just like what I’ve seen is anecdotal, and from the beginning of this particular discourse I’ve seen people talk about heterosexual relationships just as much as they have discussed male friendships, more often in tandem than not, either way I think this is a

Better prepared for this current economic climate? Because in my experience it’s not that we are better prepared in fact we’re put at a disadvantage from birth, it’s more like a trial by fire than anything

I’m not trying to be contrary here but this does still very much sound like we need to coddle men which I don’t think will solve this issue because it’s still centering them (and I don’t think it’s your intention to do that), I ask this without trying to do a ‘gotcha’, why do you think women are

Yes and most men give nothing, it’s not unrealistic to want a partner who is able to reciprocate care, attention, and affection
