I didn't think you'd bookmark it, but I figured you'd remember where you even read about a sociological trend like that. You shouldn't parrot statistics or trends without knowing who first published them and where their funding came from. Part of what I try to create is a fact-based document of links that I can use in my writing, so saying things like this without any corroboration makes your argument look very weak: Someone credible pointed out that female police have a much lower threat thresh…

I looked online and didn't find what the OP claimed. I was interested in the source/figures because the topic is really interesting to me. Your response was ignorant and vitriolic and perfectly representative of why people shy away from the online MRM. If people want to learn about these things, let's support each other.

I think seeing women identity themselves here is important. It shows men they have support, and it shows women they have a social or political space away from contemporary feminism.

A man who has raped, tortured, and enslaved women has a genuine complaint against BDSM advocates who try to condemn his activities: how can they say what he did was wrong when he has merely done what they said was sexy? I can't believe they liken BDSM to rape, torture, and slavery.

You mean something only done to boys might explain why boys experience negative outcomes more than girls? I've never previously considered the possibility, but it's so nutty it might explain things! Really, though, it's crazy that some people will need factual, peer-reviewed evidence that maybe we shouldn't be cutting off normal parts of humans.

Dude, you get it completely. I used to post in a lot of women's subreddits. Comments about myself that rejected "the patriarchy" were upvoted, but comments about my preferences that reflected traditional femininity were constantly called into question or outright ridiculed. Apparently, I am simultaneously a beacon of feminist reason for liking pubic and leg hair, but I'm an "MRA shill" for preferring strong, dominant men. I got figurative high fives and interested questions whenever I mentioned …

I saved this thread because I'm curious myself. My lifelong dream was to be a portrait and researcher, but I left academia altogether because the field approved ideologies regarding gender were so retarded. As someone who doesn't completely agree with either ideology, I was pursuing a social science that is largely rooted in feminism and social constructionism. As a woman, I definitely faced criticism whenever I said anything negative of femininity and positive of masculinity. When I was critici…

I don't think this is a gendered issue. As a woman (and as someone who works in an image-based industry), I notice the same kinds of messages, and society is also permissive of them. Women have many privileges in society, but they definitely don't have the privilege to having self-esteem in their natural forms as you're suggesting. Most camera apps have a Beauty Mode with filters your appearance to reflect standards society sets for hegemonic femininity. Boys and men also get messages from socie…

This reminds me of a conversation on a popular feminist subreddit where I said that I had privilege because I can work as a sex worker while there is no analogous opportunity for men. Women commented to condescendingly correct me and try to convince me that, actually, the fact that I can make major money doing nothing at all is an EXAMPLE OF WOMEN'S OPPRESSION. Somehow, my ability to run my own successful business based strictly on society's valuation of women was...an example of the patriarchy?…

I thought the same thing, and that's why I originally sought out a PsyD versus a PhD. I knew academia heavily skewed left/feminist, so I figured that a BSW and PsyD would be not only a more practical end goal, but also a way to avoid the kind of academic rhetoric that annoyed the shit out of me. I was SO wrong. The field flaunts the fact that all of their best practices and professional principles are informed by peer-reviewed research. But the research they're talking about is often an outright…

What was your experience like studying social work as a male? In my university's entire BSW program, there were only a handful of males. It was the most gender-imbalanced major, and I often wondered what that was like for them.

I believe it. On Reddit, there are a number of subs where you are banned for having participated in other subs. However, the mods rarely care WHAT you're contributing to those subs, just that you're in a sub they consider toxic.

All four of those things are SO similar to my experiences that I could have written this myself. When you're modmessaged, banned, and downvoted, what's your reaction?

I appreciate that view a lot. I actually agree with you that calling any person an MRA is an inclusive, non-sexist thing. I like that, so I feel you. My point is that I don't care. Not only with regard to this question (because we're already derailing the point), but the overall movement (or any movement). To relate to the OP, part of what I personally find so uncomfortable about online feminist spaces is the rigid guidelines surrounding political correctness and speech. For example, she is not …

OH, okay, I didn't realize you shifted the goal posts here. That makes more sense. Your original claim was that feminists don't do this, but now you are saying you want an example of an organized feminist CAMPAIGN. I'm sorry, but I won't be able to continue a discussion with you if you keep changing the topic and arbitrarily raising your threshold for proof. In turn, could you link me to one feminist campaign that attacks men for their discomfort?

No, I was literally asking you what kind of proof you'd accept. I can offer you my personal accounts, but I suspect you'd write those off as fake or inadequate proof. I can show you proof of feminist subreddit mods PMing me rude things, muting me, then banning me, but I don't understand what your threshold of proof is because the claim that feminists do not attack women is so farfetched.

I made it clear that it's not a colloquially useful term. I would never address anyone, male or female, as fragile and think the conversation would go anywhere except downhill. Also, that would be a failed experiment. The better question would be, "Are you offended by some people using the term "fragile masculinity" or "fragile feminity"?" The term "fragile masculinity" is not calling men fragile. It is not calling all masculine things fragile. What do you take that term to mean?

Those are really interesting threads! I saved them, thanks! Then you are part of the problem. In what way?

However, I don't think selectively using the term "fragile masculinity" in certain contexts is a problem at all.

This was an interesting response! First of all, don't use terms like "hegemonic masculinity". It makes you sound retarded. I was trying to find the simplest way to say "a type of masculinity that is considered best or dominant in a political or social context".

I'm not. I work in the BDSM industry, and a lot of my clients are cross dressers, sissies, or just men who enjoy wearing women's clothing. The fetish exists strictly because of gender roles. In a milder sense, I hear them talking about all kinds of things they wish they could do (sewing classes, clear nail polish, Sephora shopping sprees, ordering cute drinks like Mai Tais, etc), but they feel too insecure to try these things.

Feminists most certainly do attack women for choices they make or don't make. One of feminism' s key criticisms is its in-fighting and prescriptive cultural views.

I'm sorry, I'm not understanding you. I re-read the article, and maybe I'm just sleepy, but there wasn't a single statement from the author about things all men feel. In fact, the only person making sweeping generalizations is the person the author is critiquing. Do you have a specific example of something in the article that ascribes anything to all men?

Can someone explain the problem here? I'm genuinely trying to learn. I know a lot of men dislike the term "toxic masculinity".

I prefer using language as a tool that evolves. Otherwise, "hysteria" and "idiot" would still be problematic pejoratives. I can't understand how "neckbeard" is inherently sexist or hurtful to men's causes. I support men's rights and dislike neckbeards. I don't think making fun of the closest female stereotypes hurts female causes either. I'm open to your POV, tho. What harm do you see in using terms like "neckbeard" versus other common insults?

Yeah, for sure. I think this kind of splintering in feminist ideology is why this kind of discussion gets so heated. There definitely 100% exist feminists that care about men's issues, work toward egalitarianism, and even acknowledge the ways in which women are privileged over men. But they're not any less feminists than women who cry "MALE TEARS".

Yep. At the end of the day, I just want to change ideas. I just started a documentary company, and we want to tackle certain gender and sex issues, but we are DEFINITELY staying away from polarizing language from either side because the audience almost immediately disengages, no matter how insightful, factual, or clever what you're saying is. No SJW's mind was ever changed when someone insulted them.

Do you have any examples of individualist feminism as its own wave? That's what I'm tripped up on. Individualist feminism is another name for libertarian feminism. It has more overlap with liberal feminism, marxist feminism, and left-libertarianism than the third wave of identity politics-based feminism. I'm just trying to learn about the topic, so if you could steer me in the right direction, that'd be awesome.

Slow down with the shaming, cowboy. I didn't use it. I was only reading this thread and was curious why you, specifically, thought it was a problematic term. Also, do you have a source on that claim? Looking online, the term in its pejorative form originated on Wackbag Forums in the early 2000's and references Amish-style beards, and it was posted by a male.

I would caution against making statements like "feminists are..."

Of course, long term. But expecting a previously unemployed or under-employed spouse to suddenly have everything sorted is unrealistic.

Obviously, alimony or maintenance payments are necessary, but we need to look at countries like Scotland for examples of how to support one party without exploiting the other. In Scotland, maintenance payments typically last a maximum of 3 years, enough time to re-establish yourself and sustain a basic standard of living. In Britain and Wales, these payments are for life. That needs major reform.

Women are sharing with me that they can't find it for free, though. A lot of women ask me for recommendations on types of porn that simply isn't out there. There's definitely a demand for male sex workers, especially in the BDSM community. That's part of what's deriving our new project.

I'm just really curious and love conversations, so I'm looking forward to interesting …

That's a really interesting stat. Do you have a source so I could use it later? Do you think it's possible to level the field a little more? Even if demand can't be equal, what if anything do you think could increase the market for straight male sex workers?

Women are demonstrating that, in certain cases, they're willing to pay for sex. If it's already happening, what factors do you think contribute to some women sometimes paying for sex?

You have some interesting perspectives. Would you elaborate on a few points you made? What do you mean when you say women have no sex drive? How are you defining sex drive? Can you recommend some sources that support the leading hypothesis you mentioned? If an advantage is not a privilege, how do you define privilege? Do men have any advantages in society due to their sex? Thanks a lot for taking the time to respond.

Proponents of this narrative will simmer everything down to patriarchy. Gay men experience domestic violence because of patriarchal expectations of toxic masculinity. Gay women experience domestic violence because of patriarchal expectations of relationships. Apparently, patriarchy is a one-size-fits-all explanation for any social behavior one is disgusted with, even if the behavior existed beyond the advent of the invention of patriarchy. I suspect patriarchy is also the root cause for my omele…

Your sentence structure and overall tone. It wasn't an insult or a dig AT ALL! I just noted it because I speak with a lot of academics and legal types.

You have nothing to feel guilty about. I've never understood how women support the "don't hit girls" narrative. If it were just "don't hit people," I could dig it, but implicit in "don't hit girls" is the idea that women are weak, especially fragile, and deserving of special protections. That's paternalistic and stupid. If you're acting up, you should get treated like any dude that's acting up. Anything less suggests women don't have the same agency to control themselves, and that should be one …

The inclusion of someone's direct words isn't necessarily a primary source. Again, while the documentary has clips of Elam's interview, it is a curated depiction that reflects the creator's beliefs and tastes. I believe that, ideally, people should do their own research before they consume information that is filtered through someone else. You should never rely on a documentary as anything other than entertainment and a stepping stone for future research. I appreciate your suggestion, and I thin…

The jury acquitted Richard, who was then told by the judge to leave court ‘without a stain on his character’, adding: ‘I hope you can pick up your career where it left off.’ It's really easy to blame the victim (and she deserves it), but the most egregious thing in this case is how fucked he got by every other step along the way. The false acuser is just a crazy person, but it's crazy to me that society is set up in such a way that one crazy person can be the catalyst in a long line of systemic …

You are saying that a man getting falsely accusing of sexual assault, losing TWO jobs, spending £100,000 on legal fees, and forever having his reputation ruined is a form of justice because he had a low level political career as an aid? I'm just trying to understand that not only do you feel something so odd, but you feel confident enough to post it online.

What fact am I denying? I've seen the doc, and I like it a lot, but I don't want to promote the idea of watching documentaries as a form of information, especially if it's someone's first look at a topic. I'm looking for fact-based documents people can analyze themselves as opposed to a finished product that's a reflection of the creator's vision and beliefs.

I believe it! I recently saw a lawyer for a very simple, no-contest divorce. As he was listing the various things that complicate divorce proceedings, it was really striking to see how shitty it CAN turn out for a man if a woman decides to play hardball.

Your document sounds great! I'd be really interested in seeing it if you're comfortable sharing online. If not, no worries. This is a great start. I'm not sure if I need to duck before I say this sub or not, but I'm a sex worker and BDSM content creator. This topic happens to come up a LOT because I'm really into sociology and philosophy, and a lot of my clients discuss both with me. Most of them are rich white dudes, so they're especially affected by this. Many of them haven't heard of the men'…

You know, that's a cool way to frame it. If I suggest both kinds of articles, they can see the discrepancies themselves and form their own opinions.

Honestly, my knee jerk reaction was that this was a piece of sensationalist trash media and that the REAL story was that someone mentally unwell or disabled attacked a woman, and she was upset that able bodied onlookers didn't intervene. I was sure it was an incredibly obtuse retelling of the story. But no, it's actually a batshit insane woman upset at, literally, "white middle class men" for not helping when an "unwell" 6'0 "big guy" attacked her. Welp.

That's not what I said. I said that socially, it's unacceptable to lump all black people together. The problems of an individual don't get ascribed to the whole group as often. Does it happen? Of course. We live in a racist, sexist society. I was trying to discuss the fact that white men are acceptable villains. Talk about white men ruining the economy, and you'll get sympathetic nodding. Talk about black people ruining your neighborhood, and you probably won't make it out the door. Granted, I'm…

Haha, that all depends on what you value. A lot of my clients are high-profile big shot business men who only married their wives for their looks, jobs, or pedigree. It's basically a glorified sugar daddy situation where each party gets what they want out of it. The woman wants a cushy socialite life and the man wants to be an old fat guy with a model wife. I've got no problem with situations where people are reciprocally taking advantage of each other. I'm not interested in that life, but hey, …

Nice! You know, I might make a section of recommended TY videos. That way they know where to look at first because they're getting overwhelmed by simply typing "Men's Rights" into the search. I appreciate it!

The search process made me realize, for the first time, that there isn't really an easy place to find all of this. For a lot of other movements (feminism, libertarianism, hell, even satanism) you can find tons of online guides with your basic need-to-know info. With regards to Men's Rights, it's so hard to find something similar. I'm not saying it doesn't exist, but damn, the lack of research is depressing. The cultural obfuscation of this information is even more depressing.

I'm familiar with what it is; that's why I called it a doc. Being infotainment doesn't mean it's incorrect; I actually think it's a really good intro to Men's Rights, but it's not something that's useful for this. I'm only looking for first hand sources and primary documents. For example, I'd prefer something from Elam himself, versus Cassie Jaye's interpretation of the most important parts of his interview.

Ooh, that's a really good idea. I didn't even think of interactive tools like that. That might be really illuminating to them because a lot of them are high-income earners with stay-at-home wives.

I've seen that. This might be my bad; I don't think I was clear. I'm looking to put together a set of basic Men's Rights 101-style links and articles to help non-tech savvy men who want to read more about this, but they don't even know where to start. They don't want to get weighed down by really complex ideological stuff yet because they're still trying to find all the facts. I was hoping to get some links to stuff that specifically helped you along the way.
/r/MensRights11/07/18 09:25 PM

Ah, this isn't for me. Circumcision is a topic I'm pretty passionate about already. I'm looking for specific links to articles or pieces you read along your journey that helped you reach these conclusions. What were your best influences?

It's so stupid that individual black people or women aren't held accountable for the problems with their race or gender, but white men are treated as thought they're culpable for the crimes of their grandfather's. Either everyone should be or no one should be, but we don't get to selectively attack one group of people for the alleged problems of their entire demographic.

I always say this, but feminism and other gender-related causes have such a PR issue. If their actual goal was to remedy the toxic, harmful ways in which hegemonic masculinity affects young boys, then there would be no purpose in picking such an emotionally charged, political term like "toxic masculinity." Interestingly, every time I mention "toxic femininity," I hear that it's either not a thing or a dismissive, insulting term. Obviously, there's a LOT of merit to problematizing traditional gen…
