This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

How the fuck does this get posted all the time without anyone ever picking up on the fact that this workplace dynamic is obviously made up and anon is literally a 4chan kid who just changed the actors in his story from ''teacher' and "classmate" to 'boss' and 'coworker' so he wouldn't get banned on an 18+ imageboard.

FOUND THE SOYBOY

Not only that, but mammal milk is literally hormone soup. Including estrogen. And soy doesn't actually contain the same type of estrogen. They contain isoflavones including plant estrogen (phytoestrogen). Similar but different chemical, with different bioavailability in mammals.

Also:

For example, many studies have found that Western-type dietary patterns characterized by high intakes of red meat, processed foods, sweets, dairy, and refined grains are consistently associated with higher estrogen levels ( 3 , 15 , 16 , 17 ).

Basically the diet of the carnivores that mock the soyboys. How's that for projection?

I like that it very slowly alternates just subtly enough to make you question your sanity like one of these actual types of people.

Sorry my facts offend your feelings.

The soy thing has to be one of the funniest delusions I've ever seen.

People convincing themselves that all liberals are vegans, all vegans eat a diet primarily of soy, and that soy has compounds similar to estrogen, so therefore all liberal men are feminized by their diets and are therefore weak (because being a woman is bad).

The number of weird things you have to believe out of insecurity to get to that conclusion are quite embarrassing. It's quite a self-report.

You can also reverse the argument into mockery, accusing conservative women of being too masculine because they don't eat enough soy, then bragging about how feminine soy-loving liberal women are.

It's also why the most deeply delusional MAGAs have to convince themselves that Tim Walz is gay - because a gun toting bird-hunting liberal does not compute for them.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

Hunting birds is gay now, actually.

Men hunt boars and shit like that. Moose. Bison. Bears.

The hilarious part is that the phytoestrogen in soy and other plants isn't compatible with our biology. High qualities studies hava failed to find an effect.

Meanwhile the actual mammalian estrogen that is in animal products does get absorbed and effect our hormones.

Finding a reason to completely disregard not just the ideas but even the humanity of huge swaths of other people is conservatism 101. Just give in to your most base tribal tendencies, and “know” that all those good-sounding ideas are in fact wrong and evil because they’re coming from the wrong/lesser people.

When you can’t argue against ideas, argue against the people saying them. See if ad-hominem attacks will work on people. (narrator: they did)

"feminism is bullying me"

lol what a self-own. Incels and antifeminists are stupid af. Give the patriarchy enough rope to hang itself

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

"The patriarchy" isn't these losers though, they seethe because they're part of no in group but feel like they deserve to be.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

Which is still an aspect of the patriarchy to be fair, even if only as a symptom.
