Societal Split
Societal Split
Societal split speaks of the ever-increasing divide between people and groups within society. This concept displays itself in race, employment, homophobia and the focus of today being the growing divide between men and women. Masculinity and feminism, at the extremes make most of their following through bashing the opposite gender. Men belittle women, and women denigrate men, that seems to be the aim of the game, and everyone cheers them on like they are providing a just cause for society, rather then just causing further societal split.
Misogyny and Misandry
Misogyny being the hate or demeaning of women and misandry being the hate or demeaning of men. Both are useless and no one has a right to either of them, do not fall into the conformity of hating or belittling people based on the demographic they possess. This is not referring to little exchanges of banter with no aim to hurt, but rather the intent to degrade or humiliate other individuals based on your listened to, or identified with, perception of the entire demographic. If one or a few people of the demographic have caused harm, know that all are not the same. If for popularity or comedic factors understand how it impacts others in society, know the difference between banter and prejudice, figure out your actual beliefs around the others who navigate this world with us and be conscious enough to recognise you are no better nor worse than any other individual who walks among this earth, we all think, feel and try our best to figure out this thing called life, just as you do.
Self-righteousness
It is less about community these days and more so about individuals and the factions which give them the greatest sense of self-righteousness, the feeling as though who you are, your behaviours and ideas are morally better than those around you. To do this people categorise themselves with groups which somewhat correlate with their identity they then pummel opposing groups to feel a higher sense of self-reinforcement. People make livings off stating women belong in the kitchen or that men are chimpanzees, but without the brain. Much more vulgar insults come to fluorescents, whoever says it with the least empathy and the most enthusiasm towards insulting the opposing sex gains a following, only provoking them to abuse further to appease their following, the followers too indulging in increasing amounts of petty behaviour conform to beliefs around the belittlement of other people, to scorn for a sense of superiority. It is like a war between demographics, just to boost one’s own faltered self-esteem.
Impact of Relationships
Relationships end and people get hurt, it makes sense that people take it out on the stereotype which caused them this pain. Even hook up culture, people feel they have more success when they don’t get too attached, though feelings present themselves, then they get screwed over, hurt, then reinforce their ability to nullify, detach, and form bitter judgement towards that opposite sex. When people face rejection, they prefer to initiate rejection first themselves. People end up taking advantage of people because they fear they are going to be taken advantage of themselves. So if one category of people is always the one hurting the other and vice versa, then maybe it is this hurt and rejection which elicits feelings of discontent. All men, or all women, are then placed into a category, this category is slandered, groups of slanderers form, then it becomes a relentless pursuit to purge the other demographic of their virtue, insults begin to occur in everyday life and people being slandered build resentment and fight back, yay, societal divide.
People are People
People are people, stop the harassment, stop the insults, stop belittling and misdemeaning each other. People have so much self interest these days that they happily accuse everyone else’s perceived wrongdoings but fail to acknowledge any of their own. Have respect for each other, a community, rather than a playground for infants expressing their insecurities by taking it out and belittling others for a sense of self-worth. Just as you perceive, think and navigate reality so does the person next to you, their own mind, own actions, own sense of self, why would there be any need to disturb their peace. Attempt not to pedestal or indulge in that which expresses hateful demeanour towards others, you fall for that game and become corrupt with their motives. A world where people care for one another, not gain recognition through insulting each other. Care for others, don’t condone petty or demeaning behaviour and make this world a little bit of a better place. One with respect, kindness and where all people look out of all others.
