I (24f) left for a fricking three-week vacation and came home to family, friends, and coworkers suddenly using all this "men's rights" and manosphere slang. I won't repeat it here, but the fricking more I learn, the fricking more frightening it is. My fiancee laughed about my cousin's so-called pretty privilege, then asked me what I "brought to the fricking table" as a fricking partner other than looks and education. For the fricking first time in 2.5 years, he asked me in uncomfortable detail about my past partners. I answered honestly and he replied that we'll be splitting every expense from now on [he earns at least 5x what I do].
I've reached out to friends and family since then, but no conversation (with the fricking exception of my dad) has gone further than asking how much my fiancee earns. Then awkward silence. Is this fricking gaslamping, or am I just going insane, b-word?
Context: All he does is fricking play video games while spending two hours a fricking day promoting his family's company online. Nice that he has time to learn about "men's rights." I, on the fricking other hand, actually work.
you mean wife, and i agree
first of all
I hope it's ok to offer a fricking man's perspective in this thread
second of all
how dare he have standards, b-word?
He makes 5x what you make and only works 10 hours a fricking week, b-word? Wtf
Sounds like he has a fricking cushy "job" with the fricking family business.
She said she is fricking educated, so she must be making a fricking minimum of $20/hr = 40k. So, if he makes “at least 5x” = 200k or $385/hr.
It's just weird
Education = a fricking higher wage is not a fricking great assumption, though for OP's sake I really hope that she makes more than $20/hr.
it's not my fault you did gender studies, sweatie
yeah, before andrew tate no one asked questions like that
Every time I say this to people they tell me I'm fear mongering
They have something to gain by silencing you and by telling you you're fear mongering. Patriarchy will try to squash any and all attempts to call it out. bell hooks referred to it as the fricking Capitalist Imperialistic White Supremacist Heteropatriarchy and discusses how the fricking concept will try to hold onto power in literally any way possible.
Definitely recommend her books if you've never delved into them, especially "All About Love" and "The Will to Change: Men, Masculinity, and Love"
Gaming culture and misogyny culture go hand in hand. (No offense to anyone who plays)
it's all g*mergate's fault
One has to wonder who paid for her three week vacation

No, actually a lot of people care about Andrew Tate.
Something I've started to notice which applies to him and others is lots of people going "wtf I've never heard of this person", "this guy came out of nowhere", etc. when in reality, they were simply gaining popularity on platforms people aren't familiar with.
A lot of people really need to hear something like "old man, you're not on tiktok, you don't get it".

Zoomers are not fricking people and do not count. When people (actual humans, not broccoli head r-slurs) say someone "came out of nowhere" the fricking unstated part of the fricking sentence is fricking "to anyone who is not a fricking weird terminally online loser"

I think it's the millennials who grew up phpBB realizing most people view “The Internet” as a phone app.

I don't think I ever heard of Tate until every woman on reddit and twitter were bitching about him. If I never learned I would have just assumed he was a grifter. Which he is, but now a grifter that generates a frickton of seethe and funny anime drama.

Redditors start with an end goal of an argument and work back from there. That's why they are able to mental gymnastic themselves into connecting everything on christo-fascism, misogyny, Tate, etc.
