Adventures in The Patriarchy™: TikTok as Marriage Counselor

Chronicling the ongoing intersectional struggle to liberate women — inclusively defined as the legacy kind and the transgenders — from The Patriarchy™, one microaggression at a time.

Lib ‘married to a MAGA’ consults TikTok for marriage advice, considers leaving husband

Pro-tip: if you’re soliciting marital advice on social media, your marriage is already doomed.

When one goes dumpster-diving on TikTok, one is guaranteed to dredge up trash; of course, a bunch of blue-haired cat ladies with toxoplasmosis are going to encourage you to divorce your husband — under any circumstances, really, because marriage is an inherently oppressive institution of The Patriarchy™, but especially if you tell them your husband voted for literal fascism.

Hopelessly castrated man babbles in therapist-speak to wife who refuses sex

This display of defeat is more masochistic on this guy’s part than any hardcore BDSM video could ever be.

A broken shell of a man, forced to employ the humiliating euphemism “intimacy” as a stand-in for sex, gets vulnerable with his “partner” (a euphemism for “wife”) who consistently refuses his advances: “I’m trying to be the best partner that I can be and take some of the mental load and give you space so that you can rest, and honestly I would want to do that regardless of intimacy.”

Rhetorical question: Why does this sound more like a human resources struggle session over misgendering a tranny coworker than a human conversation between spouses?

Answer: Toxic feminism, the destroyer of all that is good and holy.

Sad!

On the other hand, there’s about a 50/50 chance, just based on this video alone, that the marriage was a sham from the start and losing out on sex with the wife isn’t actually the heartbreak this guy wants the world to believe it is.

Meanwhile, in Afghanistan…

Somehow I doubt the bearded men in Kabul are having vulnerable conversations about their emotional reactions to their wives denying them sex — for many reasons, not least of which being that the wives don’t have much of a say in whether they put out or not.

It’s a cultural thing.

I wouldn’t be shocked if “consent” doesn’t even exist as a term or concept in the context of marriage in Pashtun.

At some point decades into the project, as the American public began to notice that the war in Afghanistan had become an intractable quagmire that was conferring no real benefit to American national security, the forever war pimps pivoted to the justification that the West was going to somehow liberate the oppressed women of Central Asia and usher in a new era of feminist democratic reforms.

So how is the war for women’s liberation going, nearly 25 years post-invasion, a few trillion dollars later?

The Taliban has now decreed that, henceforth, women only require one eye to see with on the rare occasions they’re allowed out of the house, as exposing both would induce incontrollable lust in the heart of the pure Afghan man.

From Grok:

The video shows Taliban cleric Mahmood Zakeri preaching that women in burqas must expose only one eye outdoors, as Sharia forbids using both to avoid fitna (temptation). He argues one eye suffices for seeing the path, while the second incites sin and must remain covered. This ruling intensifies the Taliban's control, reducing women to near-total invisibility and mobility restrictions.
