Been down both paths, found out that the real solution was to simply take none of the paths, turning around and getting the hell outta there.

Same with Autism. I noticed that neurodivergent men seemed to get slapped more with negative stereotypes than their female counterparts. I think that it's a symptom of men's value only being derived from their productivity/utility. It's something I experienced myself as an autistic guy, when I was in between jobs I'd get support, but as soon as I find work, society acts as though I'm "cured". There's this tendency to view men with conditions that may impact their "productivity" as lesser.

"Lonely men are more dangerous than ever" more dehumanising bullshit blaming lonely men.

Women just get more clicks than guys. Like, I post up pics of Warhammer minis I painted. The difference in engagement between when I post under just my normal guy account vs when I post under a female pseudonym is like a night and day difference. It's why I don't do that much hobby content anymore.

Saddened but not surprised. I've been saying for years now that the normalisation of misandry in 'progressive' circles would end up backfiring by devolving in to the gender-essentialist thinking of anyone being born with a penis as akin to some form of "original sin". Nobody fucking listened.

A lot of people aren't ready for such conversations. I always try to talk about the topic in left-wing spaces and pretty much berated, called names etc. despite me always prefacing that I have largely moved away from the incelosphere and the blackpill. Most progressives don't want to understand the situation in such a way that might lead to some empathy for those who fall down the incel rabbithole, they just want an amorphous group to blame all of society's ills on, ironically enough, no differe…

Considering that this is from the same government drooling over inciting WW3 and the prospect of sending young men to die, fighting against Russia, I see no positive intentions here. They don't give a shit about men and boys. I bet the "unwanted" boys, the outcasts and neurodivergent will be overwhelmingly targeted by these "lessons" due to one simple fact... it's the socially "successful" men who overwhelmingly commit the majority of violence against women yet the incels and loners always get t…

Yeah, I think there's something malicious about the advice thrown at lonely men, it's all "just be nice bro" until it doesn't work, then it's "don't be entitled bro, don't expect anything from kindness". It’s a complete bait-and-switch. The "just be nice, bro" advice is thrown around as if kindness alone is some magic key to friendship and relationships. But when that doesn’t work—when a lonely man realizes he’s still ignored, dismissed, or used—suddenly the narrative flips to "Well, you shouldn…

I blame it on deliberately misleading people as to what a "patriarch" is. Patriarch is supposed to mean the male head of a family or tribe and so critique of "patriarchy" would have originally been a critique of those in charge at the time, the wealthy who were mostly comprised of men, hence the term "patriarchy". My belief is that with the rise of the Soviets and anti-Socialist propaganda, muddying the meaning of "patriarch" became a convenient way to shift some of the blame away from capital o…

It goes to show that you could be the perfect little left wing, male feminist ally and still end up being hated on and a punching bag. There is no winning.

Honestly, I am done trying to articulate how loneliness affects me as a man. I'm done trying to explain how loneliness just hits different as a man. Male loneliness isn't an issue of just being lonely, it's all the connotations that come along with that, you get ruthlessly mocked, shamed and told to pull yourself up by your own bootstraps. Like, I'm autistic and really struggle with making friends and such, yet every time I try to open up about it it's always the same old "bootstraps" bs because…

Being a fascist is a pretty big, inconsolable difference if you ask me. Once again, they looked at their conditions and decided to vote for Trump, there's nothing to work with there.

Can we stop trying to run damage control for guys who are like "hurr durr feminism alienates me so I guess I'll become a fascist!". Any guy who's "anti-feminist" to the point of being on the side of Trump/Musk is genuinely just an asshole and I don't want discussion of men's issues to be associated with those pieces of shit.

Honestly, I don't know at this point. I think that the damage is irreparable. Progressives clearly don't want to meaningfully work with men in any way other than men being an "ally" (aka fight for my issues while I ignore yours). The men who went to the right as a result, I can't see coming back so long as progressives don't want to meaningfully engage with men's issues. I'm not feeling too good at the moment mental-health wise, but currently, I just think it's over and nothing can be done anymo…

Not just gambling, look at the amount of men falling for crypto scams and get rich quick schemes as well. There's still a lot of pressure on men to be breadwinners to "prove" their worth as men. But as the earning gap between men and women closes and the economy tanks, the pressure gets worse and worse resulting in men taking even more risky measures to "make it".

This is why I largely quit talking about my dating woes and have given up entirely on finding a romantic partner for the most part. It dawned on me that I could follow all of the typically "blue-pilled" advice in the world and still get absolutely nowhere. While I disagree with the 'absoluteness' of the blackpill, centering romance as the be-all end-all of life, it does provide a dose of reality as to how truly shallow dating can be. Once I got over the "blackpill rage" I found a sense of tranqu…

That's the thing, there is no winning. I saw a video on Instagram not too long ago of some guy agreeing to the man vs bear thing. He was talking about how he enjoys hiking and will step off the trail to allow women to pass and all that stuff. At the end of the video he asked what he can do to make women feel more 'safe' and it really got me thinking that there's no end to this, it's never 'enough'. The dude is already doing everything within his personal power to help women feel more 'safe' but …

This. What annoys me is that when someone points out that it is in fact class is the intersection within 'intersectionality', being the one oppression that 99% of people on the planet have in common, they get called a "class reductionist"

It's not retarded though. Look at the zeitgeist, the blackpill is mainstream now. I genuinely wish it wasn't and that all of the "just bro" advice genuinely worked but it has become abundantly clear that kind of "just world" thinking just doesn't work anymore, if it has ever worked in the first place. I don't even think it's necessarily the fault of evo-psych, I think it's entirely the fault of marketing. A lot of people are shallower than ever, culture is more superficial than ever before and I…

Not necessarily, it just stands to reason that the more success an individual sees in this area, the more chance there is for them to take the success for granted especially under capitalism which often upholds and promotes toxic attitudes and behaviours as a means to success. Dating apps are evil though. I'd argue that anything that commodifies the ability to form connection with other people and find community is absolutely diabolical. The idea of an app that could help people find others to c…

That doesn't invalidate what I am saying though. They go for the same handful of toxic guys pushed to the top of these dating apps based on mass market appeal then wonder why they having so many negative experiences and find no authenticity. These kinds of Facebook groups are a direct result of dating app culture and it's a damn shame because it means that a whole lot of people are missing out on genuine relationships that aren't dictated by the whims of capital. Dating apps need to be nuked to …

Despite being unhappy about it, they would rather "share" a chad than get with a man who's lower on the sociosexual hierarchy but more available for exclusivity.

These groups are always so funny because men get gaslight into believing that the 80/20 rule is just some myth concocted by stinky evil inkwells but these groups completely prove 80/20 to be true. Why would these women need these "Are we dating the same guy?" groups if they aren't all going after the same top 20 percent of men?

"For example, he says he feels empathy for incels. But only to the point they start hating on women or wanting to kill women." Which would be all well and good if the bar for what counts as 'hating women' wasn't constantly moving all the time. I have seen ordinary guys, not part of any incel group just say "I feel a little lonely and wish dating wasn't difficult" and people immediately jump down their throat with "oh, stop being entitled, you just want to enslave women, you hate women" etc. The …

This. Women's hedonism will typically get called out by tradcons and the bar for what counts as "hedonism" is a lot higher. Whereas a man's hedonism will get called out by everyone due to a man's worth being tied to "productivity" transcending across political lines. Plus what's considered "hedonistic" is a lot lower for men; I see men getting hated on for even just playing a video game in his free time because he's not spending every waking hour on his "grindset".

I agree. I'm a straight guy who thinks that the male body can be just as aesthetic as the female body. Although I do anatomical studies and life drawing as part of my studies, learning 3d character animation so it doesn't phase me.

Because Autistic men are largely at the bottom of the barrel socially. Men are expected to be forward, confident and ruggedly independent, autism makes it difficult to fulfil those roles and thus autistic men get shamed and hated on.

Same here. Not giving a fuck is truly the greatest gift a man can give himself. I used to care about what women want but honestly it just ended up making me depressed because the goalposts are constantly moving so fucking much that it made me feel like I would never be good enough.

Yeah, I think a lot of gender wars stuff is "grass is greener" effect. I think that women have a burden of 'looks' where, as you say, they are pressured into looking youthful. Whereas men have the burden of 'performance' where they are pressured into being a utility and being 'useful'. That's why women's beauty typically revolves around things that make them look 'youthful' whereas men's beauty typically revolves around things that make them look 'strong/useful'.

This. Before a fella could work a soul-crushing menial job yet be able to afford a home, a wife, some kids etc. Even though the work was tough, there was still value to be gained there. Whereas now a fella can work the exact same job yet afford none of that, barely scraping by in a rental while women look down on him like he's a lazy bum. A lot of men have wisened up to this fact and dropping out of the labour market as a result.

For sure. I find that the kinds of people who'll tar a whole swathe of society with being the "cause" of a particular issue are usually completely unserious in solving that issue in the first place.

Eh, seems like a femcel struggle session. I agree with the fact that people shouldn't harass others in public, that's just common sense but the whole "collective male species" thing is throwing up all kinds of red flags. Like, I don't see why I should be blamed because some other dude is a dickhead.

The "just treat women as human beings thing" baffles me as most men aren't treated as human beings either. I think that it needlessly genders basic empathy that should be afforded to everyone and overlooks the constant dehumanisation and objectification of men in relation to class and capital. Simply just looking at how natural disasters are reported on, for example, completely destroys this notion that it's only women who are somehow uniquely dehumanised, it's all "X amount of women and childre…

It does exist in so much as there's distinct advantages men or women may be more likely to benefit from by virtue of their gender. But for the most part I think that people generalise way too much with the concept of "privilege" and misuse the term all the time. Like feminists will say that an example of "male privilege" is a man being able to walk alone, particularly at night and be safe from harm, or not be scared. What's wrong about this is that firstly it's factually incorrect, men are more …

Yeah it went from "taller than me" to 6 foot and now 6'4. My theory is that, as the earning potential of young men goes down, the pressure on men to become hyper masculine in order to be "attractive" and have "value" goes up. It's why things really went to shit post 2008, with the financial crash and the rise of dating apps.

I think that they used to but it's become very homogenized by social media and hollywood and peer pressure. Paradoxically, the masculine archetype has become ever more strict and restrictive for the average man. Something I have always said is that if doing things "coded as feminine" genuinely received positive attention from women, every single straight fella would be doing it.

Yeah, I don't think women realise how little fat it takes to cover a man's abs. A fella could have a low BMI yet still be seen as 'fat' for not having cut abs.

Dr K is great! Sometimes the advice is a bit too boilerplate "just love yourself". But he's spitting straight facts in this video. "The world has changed but our expectations of men have not" is very true.

It's simple, it's far more likely to be laughed at and/or rejected than be murdered on a date. Thus, such humiliating social rejection on a date is a far more rational fear than being murdered on a date. Day to day, social rejection is a far more likely "threat" to the self than physical harm from others yet we as a society scoff at the idea that social rejection causes harm in the first place.

Even ignoring the blatant things like war, murder rate etc. and viewing the idea of "Misandry = annoyance, misogyny = death" or "men are afraid of being made fun of, women are afraid of being killed" etc. in the most charitable light possible,those arguements still fall apart when male suicide rates are taken in to consideration.
