This is part of why confidence is attractive.
It isn’t that confident humans of the male reproductive caste treat women more flippantly; it’s that actual competency correlates with not being as much of an insufferable whiny piece of shit.
Hate is often just a reflection of insecurities and a product of attempting to alleviate cognitive dissonance. Someone feels scared, doesn’t like feeling that way, and so converts their fear into anger – misdirected at someone else.
Balance is the key. True that fear leads to anger and anger to hatred and a path of the dark side, but the Jedi were also guilty of dealing in absolutes until they were fighting outright fascism via space capitalism and clone contracts they built killed them all.
I remember the last time I got messaged by some misogynist dipshit, way back in Halo 5, blaming me for losing the game. …When he was the worst performing player in the team. I just stared at the post game report and wondered how the heck the dude even managed to get a ranking as low as he did.
My daughter wanted to wear my headset when I was playing battlefield once. It was so funny listening to those losers rage because they Were getting stomped by a 5 yr old girl. Now days she still puts it on from time to time and it’s still hilarious.
Reminds me of this: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/0361684319871913
In short. The higher the social status of the woman compared to the man, the more likely the man is to sexually objectify her. Wheras women aren’t more likely to do this based on relative status.
Objectification is defined as reducing a person to solely looks and sexual function.
Similar stuff is seen in primates. Females are easier targets to assert dominance over. Since they are physically weaker. Male long tail maqacues losing their status, would seek out younger/weaker targets to establish dominance over. Something that was interesting too, is that female maqacues with more masculine facial features, were less often subjected to dominance seeking behaviour (from both males and females if I recall correctly) than females with more feminine faces.
It seems to boil down to “who can I dominate with little risk?” Female? Easy. Big male? Stupid idea. Young male? No problem. Male of equal size? Potentially.
That thing about macaques is interesting.
That summary may also explain why some men are so insecure about women earning more money than them too.
That’s an interesting study. It makes sense that dominance-seeking behavior follows a ‘low-risk, high-reward’ strategy across species. The connection between status, objectification, and primate behavior is fascinating Morse Code Translator—wonder if similar patterns appear in different cultural contexts.
Just remember that evolutionary biology is largely considered quack science, often by evolutionary biologists themselves (at least in terms of how ev-bio is used to write papers and books about how horny men and women act in bars, and why your Tinder profile isn’t working and what it “means” when she texts you a certain way.)
I was a Halo 3 try hard and if anything I was nicer to female voices because I stupidly wanted to woo them. IDK exactly what the logistics of that would have been thinking back.
“I can’t even beat a girl!?”
work to improve the skill gap or draw 20
acknowledge that one singular woman is currently better than you at this one particular skill or draw 20
man it’s like there are options that don’t involve aggression towards another person for… not being bad at a video game
I count myself lucky the men I know in real life are chill, and that I am not too interested in PvP games, scared off by the constant reinforcement from stories online that someone will be shitty to me because I am a woman. When I did play TF2 it was always pubs mic off and with a very gender-neutral username.
I got hit on a couple times in Starcraft 2 of all games just because I had a feminine-sounding username. I literally got “damn girl, look at that MMR” once and it’s so funny.
Can we see the study ?? Let’s see how credible it is
Not the actual paper but here ya go
So no citations & only a mere opinion ? So it’s clear as day then. It’s a misandric hit-piece (off course it’s from BBC)
There are SO many sources on this it’s obvious you didn’t even bother to look.
Here’s the paper
https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0131613
Maybe do some research for once in your life?
What are you talking about? The BBC article references the research paper directly?
Oh I probably disable JS then, I apologize
About Evo-Psych, you probably should see this then
WTF? Go and spend a day in the big wide world.
In the 90s I watched something and there was a woman that was becoming a fairly competent go cart racer, she quit cause the men she was competing against couldn’t stand “losing to a girl” and got quite nasty about. This won’t be a credible source though, will it?
Of course not. Especially with supportive people like you
Since we are talking about the real world; did you deliberately omit the fact that men playing video-games are called pathetic & deadbeat losers regardless of whether they’re champions or not ?
You’ll need an audience with a much larger inferiority complex if you want that sort of claim to resonate.
Why should one need an audience for that claim, when the evidence is right there on the internet & IRL
So that makes it okay to shit on women in games? Go cope elsewhere, incel.
Men get shat on as well but, I guess we are n9t going to address that huh, if you’re going to virtue-signal as an Egalitarian, then act the part
& ah the incel slur, what are you ?? A sex-obsessed creep ?
Should I be worried about your mental well-being ?
Take your mask off and see what happens, incel. It’s always the same fucking formula, go and whine about your own tiny little insecurities every single time anything about women’s experience is highlighted.
You’d find something between your ribs irl real quick if you took off your mask around the people in your life and they found out how incapable you are of even reading about half the population of the Earth’s perspective without self inserting your pathetic insecurities.
Just seen your edit. Before I answer this question, are you seriously asking to be judged fairly after judging others unfairly?
Noted : misogyny is a submissive issue
Didn’t sample all of the shitty halo players that are too afraid to talk to a women.
Incel in a nutshell:
Weird Al, take that one with my blessing and run for the hills… cause judging by the downvotes, the incels have my scent.
