>>296106Agree with this, also the reason for wars, as most wars are fought for status acquisition/to bribe succubi by giving them resources. Men who join the army are typically high-school dropouts or otherwise low on the totem pole and see it as an easy avenue for gaining status therefore attracting a mate, having no issue killing other men along the way. succubi reward this behaviour; see Hitler getting all the ladies when and only when he became a genocidal dictator. Andrew Tate, that grifter cretin, made his fortune catfishing men online through a dating agency. He had no problem abusing men to make his riches so he could surround himself with succubi, and continues to abuse men by telling them to work themselves to the bone to get a crumb of pussy. And men think this guy is on their side, lol. This is why concepts like "toxic masculinity" are misandrist, gaslighting trash, because it's succubi who enforce these traits. Men just do whatever succubi want, and succubi want men who abide by strict gender roles; the workhorse, the provider, the stoic, the bully, etc. This isn't to absolve men of any agency, they're just as much to blame for conforming to these roles as succubi are for demanding them - but society *only* blames men. In reality, if men rule the world, succubi rule men.
If you don't conform, you get deselected and beaten down - society treats you like shit, ridiculing your hobbies, other men want you back on the plantation, grinding with the rest of them. It's hard to overstate how damaging all this is, it's so drilled into you from such a young age it's a really difficult mindset to shift. And everywhere you look online there's another grifter calling you a "manchild". The problem is of course, unless you're rich enough to not have to work, you will be *forced* into this hyper-competitive status chasing when you have to get a job, and you'll be sitting at the bottom, with no connections or social circles (because these also depend on status).
I don't think the solution is to withdraw from society either, because as much as I hate to admit it, unless you have a genetic predisposition to enjoy severe social isolation, you'll need some level of human contact beyond a screen. As a loner, you'll also need something to do, or a skill, to give you self-esteem and muh feel good chemicals. Whether that's drawing or coding or whatever.
There's a healthy middle ground somewhere - rejecting commentary from hostile, lizard brained men telling you things you enjoy are bad because they don't directly contribute to the omnipresent dick measuring contest for female validation, like videogames and anime (they love golf though; funny that), while also acknowledging you're wired to gain fulfillment from progressing and seeing positive motion.
