Lord fix it. We are back at the table with the same arguments, and chile, my spirit is weary. This Fresh & Fit clip, “Myron DESTROYS Delusional Feminist,” is another example of performative masculinity masking itself as insightful commentary. It’s less about dismantling problematic viewpoints and more about indulging in a power trip, and honestly, it’s giving playground bully energy. Let’s unpack this mess, shall we?
Firstly, the title itself is a flashing red light. “DESTROYS”? Darling, intellectual engagement isn’t a demolition derby. It’s about understanding, exploring different perspectives, and maybe, just maybe, finding common ground. This aggressive language immediately sets a confrontational tone, signaling that the goal isn’t dialogue but domination. It’s also incredibly reductive. Labeling someone a “delusional feminist” before even engaging with their arguments is a lazy tactic, designed to dismiss their views without any genuine consideration.
Now, without getting into the specifics of what the woman in question said (because frankly, I’m not giving that platform any more free promotion), let’s focus on the overall dynamic. Myron, in this scenario, positions himself as the arbiter of truth, the enlightened one who’s come to liberate this “delusional” woman from her misguided beliefs. This savior complex is tiresome. It assumes that he possesses a superior understanding of the world, and that she, by virtue of her gender and perceived feminist leanings, is inherently wrong. This isn’t about intellectual superiority; it’s about projecting an image of dominance.
The real issue, as I see it, is the lack of genuine curiosity. I don’t hear any attempts to understand why she holds her views. I don’t see any effort to explore the nuances of her arguments. Instead, it’s all about interrupting, talking over, and framing her responses in a way that reinforces his pre-existing narrative. It’s a performance, not a conversation. He’s not interested in learning; he’s interested in “winning.”
And what, pray tell, is he winning? An argument on a podcast? Validation from his audience? The fleeting satisfaction of feeling superior to someone? These victories are hollow, because they don’t contribute anything meaningful to the discourse. They don’t bridge divides. They don’t promote understanding. They simply reinforce the existing power dynamics that perpetuate these unproductive and often toxic conversations.
Furthermore, the entire premise of these kinds of shows, and the “manosphere” they often inhabit, is predicated on the idea that women are a problem to be solved. That our opinions are inherently flawed, our motivations suspect, and our value tied to our adherence to traditional gender roles. It’s a viewpoint steeped in outdated notions of masculinity and femininity, and one that completely ignores the complexity and diversity of female experiences.
The truth is, many of these “high value” men are incredibly insecure. Their need to constantly assert their dominance and belittle women stems from a deep-seated fear of inadequacy. They create these echo chambers where their views are constantly validated, and anyone who dares to challenge them is labeled as “delusional” or “emotional” or any other dismissive label designed to silence dissenting voices.
What’s truly disheartening is the impact this kind of content has on younger generations. Young men are being fed this narrative that women are inherently manipulative and untrustworthy, while young women are being told that their worth is solely based on their physical appearance and their ability to cater to male desires. This creates a climate of mistrust and resentment that is damaging to relationships and to society as a whole.
My advice to anyone watching these kinds of clips is to be critical. Don’t blindly accept what you’re being told. Ask yourself: Who is benefiting from this narrative? What are the underlying assumptions? And most importantly, is this contributing to a more understanding and respectful world, or is it simply reinforcing harmful stereotypes and perpetuating division?
Let’s strive for conversations that are rooted in empathy, curiosity, and a genuine desire to learn from one another. Let’s move beyond the performative aggression and engage in meaningful dialogue that challenges us to grow and evolve. Because frankly, this “destroying” act is tired, predictable, and ultimately, a waste of everyone’s time. We need to do better, and we deserve better. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I need to go pray for these lost souls.
