My friends who are straight women: - are divorcing with glee and relief and exhaustion - or despair at ever getting married because all the dudes they’re meeting ain’t shit something is falling apart: men’s standards for themselves are collapsing, while women’s growhttps://twitter.com/girlziplocked/status/989161385471901696 …

There is an enormous sea change underway in how we live and love. It’s gonna be a big deal. It already is. Believe the women whose sexuality is trapping them in a shitty romantic market.

This is it in a nutshell. Dudes want a free ride. Expect a free ride. Relationships don’t work like that but no one told them somehow https://twitter.com/amandamull/status/989179657969913856 …

Think about it: Goobergoat got started because Zoe Quinn didn’t show what some dudes viewed as appropriate deference and loyalty to a mediocre partner THAT was her crime. They invented other rationalizations, but her crime was having her own needs and meeting them

There was a critical mass of dudes who saw themselves in the pathetic visage of Eron Gjoni—dudes who, in many cases, I bet never even had a romantic partner themselves They were sparked to violence and hatred because their notion of romantic entitlement was threatened

This is not the behavior of people who are confident in their ability to meet their own needs So these dudes saw the writing on the wall: the age of the romantic free ride is over

Yet another thread worth your time. This tweet nails it on the head Women are socialized to DO WORK in order to be worthy of love, affection and commitment. Men are socialized to think they were born worthy no matter their mediocrity It’s uh, problematichttps://twitter.com/LuxAlptraum/status/989161549796429824 …

AND THIS IS SOME SHIT RIGHT HERE Where you’ve got women’s therapists gaslighting them because for some fucking reason they’re not seeing the trend. I hear about this too!https://twitter.com/magpiewhale/status/989539413414772736 …

This is a great specimen to illustrate the point: You’ve got dudes out here who have this paranoid fantasy about women somehow being predators for men’s paychecks That women would even contemplate divorce is implicitly treated as violencehttps://twitter.com/_danilo/status/989549197698502657 …

Never mind the fact that single parenting is BRUTAL. Never mind the fact that alimony doesn’t come close to replacing the role of a co-parent. Never mind the fact that what women want is a PARTNER The MRA narrative is about women as vampires because they have needs or opinions

You get dudes in this feedback loop: They don’t see women as human They don’t have any women as friends No women want to fuck them They’re mad because the culture says women are SUPPOSED to fuck them They project all kinds of evil shit onto women to explain this Repeat

Mm, yes, because if you’re so deeply concerned someone was an abusive partner, you spend months and months sanctimoniously wringing your hands about “ethics in games journalism”https://twitter.com/leo_tdg/status/989576445520498688 …

This is such a big thing in the stories people tell me. Dudes are expecting so many six figure skill sets benefiting their lives for basically nothing in exchange This is an economic problem on top of everything else. The numbers just don’t make sensehttps://twitter.com/hrodrig/status/989614293644525568 …

I’m amazed it took this long for one of the gophergoop dipshits to show up in my mentions earnestly thumping about ethics in games journalism
But imagine reading this thread and your response is to go ahead and prove my point about mediocre dudes

Interesting split in replies to this thread. There’s an overwhelming volume of women feeling relieved and validated by the discussion There’s dudes like “yeah this is real” And of course, there’s a predictable volume of fragile men very upset about ithttps://twitter.com/_danilo/status/989996329668460544 …

It’s not an insult to note your fragility, though your interpreting that way fairly proves my point I’ve gotten so many interesting responses to this thread and so few of them are from men, smh https://twitter.com/latterprocedure/status/990022573474893825 …

This thread is making the rounds again and it looks like the gobblegorkers have found it This tweet is super instructive: check how my dude feels entitled to police ZQ’s sexuality here. He’s the cheating police Their alliance is built on a desire to own and control womenpic.twitter.com/vCTZgGfzV9

These dudes running around like they’re holding a list of charges The count of Quinn’s partners was of particular interest in the gumbygoo days. They were obsessed with quantifying the perceived crimes. That’s how this dude knows, chapter and verse, the number to cite here

gophergoat is like a massive LARP where a bunch of oblivious, unfuckable dorks play at founding a Handmaid’s Tale-type society and they take it so seriously
