The manipulated man by esther collar. It’s a bit long. lol. MEN ARE NOT THE OPPRESSORS. MEN ARE THE ONES BEING EXPLOITED. Esther Vilar exposed this in 1971 and they wanted her dead for it. A woman attacked her on live TV. That's how dangerous the truth was. Here is her thesis, without the sugar coating: A man is born with one purpose — to serve. He is trained from childhood. Be strong. Don't cry. Work hard. Make money. Protect her. Provide for her. Die for her. If you do all of that, you might be called a "real man." If you don't, you are nothing. A failure. A bum. Not a man at all. He spends 40 years breaking his back. In construction, in mines, on oil rigs, in wars. He comes home broken, with a paycheck that is never his. It goes to her house. Her kids. Her lifestyle. Her security. And she has the audacity to call him her oppressor. Think about it. What oppressor works 12 hours a day so the oppressed can stay home? What oppressor is told to go down with the ship while the oppressed gets the lifeboat? What oppressor pays for a house he doesn't own, for kids that will be taken from him, for a lifestyle that will be used as evidence that he was "controlling" her? Vilar said women have 3 weapons and they never fail: *1. PRAISE:* "You're such a good provider, honey." Translation: Keep working, slave. *2. PRESSURE:* Nagging, guilt, tears, silent treatment until he obeys. *3. WITHHOLDING:* Intimacy becomes a transaction. He gets it when he behaves. He loses it when he doesn't. Like training a dog. She doesn't want equality. Equality would mean she carries the bricks. She works the sewers. She dies in the wars. She asks you out. She pays for the date. She splits rent 50/50 without complaint. She doesn't want that. No woman ever wanted that. What she wants is a comfortable master. A man strong enough to provide, dumb enough to believe he is in charge. A man who pays for her freedom while calling himself free. Love? Marriage? Vilar said those were invented by women to lock down a provider for life. He thinks he chose her. No. She chose him. She audited his future income and gave him permission to serve her. The system is rigged. He loses his kids in court and pays her to raise them. He loses his house and pays her to live in it. He loses his health and is told to "man up." And if he complains, he is called toxic, weak, insecure. The most exploited animal on this planet is the man who believes his worth is measured by how much he can provide for a woman who secretly despises him. Vilar's solution was brutal and true: The only free man is the man who no longer seeks female validation. The moment you stop needing her praise, her approval, her body you become ungovernable. You work for yourself. You live for yourself. You keep what is yours. Until then, you are not a man. You are a resource. A utility. A wallet with a pulse. *MEN WERE NEVER THE OPPRESSORS. MEN ARE THE EXPLOITED CLASS.*
