Looks like this will be my new home. Warning: I (probably) have Asperger's, so my be prepared for my autism to show through.
I don't think I am a right wing extremist, but I am sure anyone with low testosterone might think otherwise.

So it's either that or they are intentionally lying to their audiences who they expect to not understand.
The most recent factor in all of this is the overall lack of pushback. When these story ideas are not properly challenged, it does not allow for much real refinement.
This lack of pushback only serves to embolden the egos of these women in storytelling media. Only when money is lost from these bad ideas do they finally see consequences from their failure.
A lot of women who are in charge of storytelling do not understand what it means to struggle. Not in the sense that failure has grave consequences. Many women are insulated by the consequences of failure, which makes it so that when they have to conceptualize a story, they draw from the experience of "I am so awesome and everyone needs to realize it" instead of one that comes from genuine struggle.
This makes both the storytelling and the characters bad. There is no real challenges for Mary Sue because she can do everything effortlessly. She just has to realize it and tell all the naysayers that they are wrong and she is great.
This makes for a boring story and is really getting tiresome (e.g. Captain Marvel, Star Wars 7-9). Stories are better when the character has real struggles to overcome.
I suspect that the increase in Mary Sue characters in media is the result of a perfect storm of females lacking the understanding of what it means to struggle in order to earn (what men regularly experience) as well as a major lack of pushback in today's academic and corporate world.
Thus, we get story telling about female characters who are always just so amazing at everything and the only "conflict" they have is the Patriarchy holding them back from being awesome.

Women lie about everything part 2
"I wear makeup for myself"
Women do NOT wear makeup, fake eyelashes, drawn on eyebrows, and get plastic surgery
"for themselves"
Women do it for validation. Which is why they insist men have to pay for expensive dates, because "I put a lot of effort in to look this good"
In my opinion all that fake shit that women wear to hide how they really look isn't attractive anyway.

the point of science has been for decades to gaslight you into believing you can't accurately observe the world around you and that you need an expert's interpretation for everything

Decent longpost about why feminization will likely spell the end of academia: https://barsoom.substack.com/p/academia-is-womens-work
1. Men compete with each other, it's how we're wired
2. Competition leads to results
3. Results lead to prestige, which is what makes universities convince people to attend and fund them
4. But when a field is perceived as woman dominated, men leave, because competing with women is not something men do
5. When men leave, the field becomes girl-coded and results drop off because (in general) women don't compete like men do.

Example of having opposition to the same thing in spite of having completely different outlooks. Cenk opposes neocons because he sees them as the embodiment of conservatives. I oppose neocons because they where conservative values like a skinsuit to pretend that they care about what the American right wants.
I may agree that we should not have infinite foreign wars, but when the question of what do we do once we stop that comes up, then we have nothing uniting us.
