Why is it that men "need a role model" so much, or else they're doomed? I have NEVER heard of this phenomenon for women. : TwoXChromosomes

Personally, I grew up not even raised by my bio parents. Both of my non biological parents were emotionally abusive at best and neglectful at worst. I was still able to figure life out.

Are you sure about that sweetie? You're posting in /r/childfree and /r/antiwork and your entire recent history seems to be sharing hazbin hotel fan art

In stem we are constantly told women need role models to succeed, which is why we celebrate nobodies like Lamarr, Franklin and Lovelace.

Obivously not universally true, but an interesting thing to consider.

I wanted to write my boring thoughts on it but I saw this:

I also feel a pang of annoyance about this talking point because WOMEN usually do most of the household labor and child rearing while an incredible amount of dads don't even know their kids teachers names. Positive role model for what?! Learning weaponised incompetence?

Literally answering her question in the same sentence she asked it. Unironically stupid person.

Not that her assessment of men is right, but that's irrelevant of her contradicting herself to this degree. Moron so stupid it makes me seethe.

when did crying become something bad?

when you do it to avoid your responsibilities and put them on a whole block of people who don't even know you.

Boys need guidance more than girls because they are stronger, less risk averse, have a higher s*x drive, and a wider iq distribution. Boys have greater potential to create or to destroy. A boy is like a rocket, it needs a guidance system to do something useful, otherwise you don't know where it might go.

I agree with the foids, I had no role model and I turned out fine!

You, the scrotery, have begged for "role models".

We, the most benevolent Council of Western Thots have bestowed upon you Ryan Reynolds and Ryan Gosling. You are not satisfied with this most generous offer by your betters?!

It's the highly feminized environment of the school system imo, the opposite does happen with women, doods fall apart when they start to pass and get treated like men

I got into a fight with my friends wife once. She went off about unpaid labor and i told her the entire concept of unpaid labor was r-slurred.

She told me I wouldnt know because i didnt do anything.

I pointed out i did literally everything, from paying all of the bills, doing all of the cooking and cleaning and everything else.

My friend said "wow mel, you kind of got owned there"

Shes hated me ever since. Point is women are r-slurred.

She posts about how she turned out fine on twox

I found having role models always cringe, especially when it was like "I want to be like Messi, so I'll do everything what he does", then make his profile pic a messi/ronaldo/whatever one. Like bro we are in U15 and you still can't make a proper pass, shut the frick up. It was always silly to me even as a 12 year old.

I did (and do) have a goal to once buy a brand new 911 Turbo though. Dark Blue exterior, light brown interior with pano sunroof.

Although the current young culture revolving around degrees being meme and you just have to a hustler, all that matters in money, is probably even cringier, doubly so because it's always propagated by kids whose parents are poor and spent all their money on pandabuy dunks and fake apple watches, acting like a frickboy when everyone sees that they haven't even touched boobies yet. Fatherless behavior.

God I already started to rant about youngins and I'm a zoomer, I feel old.
