I have watched it, yes! And it was awesome. Thanks for the compliments, and I'm glad you found someone that really suits you!

When I first read your comment, my brain blocked out everything after the comma and I laughed hard enough I scared the dog. Honestly, though. Thank you. I try really hard to learn from my experiences and mistakes, and even though I don't believe in God, I do believe there's a power somewhere that put me on the earth so I can suffer and grow from it. (I honestly believe more in Ka, from the Dark Tower series by Stephen King.)

Yeah, that's brutal. Especially the fact you get men weighing in to agree with this, while it completely erases the fact that a young college guy is equally at risk. One of my close male friends was date raped at a party, and no one believed him. And if someone tried to step in with a slightly contrary view, they'd be banned in seconds, when they're just trying to add a different perspective. Responding by saying that the contrary perspective is intruding doesn't make sense, because the perspect…

Education is about being educated. The real world has fucked up shit in it. Censorship is just creating people who can't handle the reality of the world. (I say, as a millennial on anti depressants/anxiety meds/ADHD medication. Pffft.) There should be no debate in schools, but all perspectives should be taught so people can choose. Exposure therapy, too. It really bugs me that everything is so SJW. It's really, really scary how mainstream media is perpetuating the viewpoints. The echo chamber is…

Ehh, the priest WOULD damn me to hell. But I'm probably already going there, so meh. All the cool people are in hell. Jokes aside, I can see where you're coming from. The really militant ones can't be argued with. I just hope I can convince at least some rational ones.

I definitely agree that feminism has accomplished some fantastic things, and yes, we need to look at things through a more egalitarian lens. A1 is definitely true, and I find that's where a lot of my debates fail. I tend to focus on statistics and links, instead of my own words and viewpoints. It really isn't a competition--that's the whole crux of the issue; women are so sure they have it worse that they aren't even acknowledging the suffering on the other side. The fact that I was banned immed…

I'll admit that I browsed there actually fairly frequently. Yes, they have some toxic tendencies, but I understand some of their perspectives. I don't agree with everything they say, but I can see at least some of their ideas. I just tuned out a lot of the really bad stuff. I wish the two sides could talk to each other rationally. Because not everyone is a militant--some people are just stuck in an echo chamber and not exposed to the other sides. But, sadly, both sides just immediately judge ins…

I genuinely don't get why feminism isn't called equalism. I understand the original movement may have been different, but the modern movement definitely isn't about equal rights anymore.

I will definitely check that out later, thank you! I really like your viewpoint on this. I will definitely steal the last line in particular

I will do that, thanks. Hopefully I can help. The last time I tried resulted in them at least seeing my side of things.

I am absolutely delighted that I did that for you :) internet hugs. If you need an ear for anything, please let me know

Definitely 100% true. (For reference, I'm a 5'3 chick). I'm definitely aware I'd get away with A LOT more than the nearest male would. I'm not super ballsy, but I know I'd be 'safe'. Most people won't risk the issues associated with punching a chick.

Sweet, thank you!

Thank you, definitely. I didn't really think about the consequences that would have happened if the major feminist movement caught wind of me.

I'll grab as many links and thoughts as I can :) again, not the best debater. My best bet will be data and trying to be as much poeticy as I can (former English major, whoo)

That is really interesting, thank you. It should help them see the flaws in their own logic

Always good to know there's other sane women out there! It's sad that there isn't even allowed to be an actual day for you guys. No recognition for your problems at all.
/r/MensRights18/07/20 02:58 AM

Yeah, I don't think I could handle it if me siding with you guys went viral. You're right, I'd probably get demonized. I think I will continue to talk to the people I see being radical, even if I don't believe it'll accomplish anything. Still gotta try, right?

That is a really simple method. I will definitely try it. But, what do I say when they respond that men don't need help at all and they're already above? Do I just reiterate my talking points of equal rights/combat deaths/etc?

So much of it is my dad, honestly. I was raised in a 50's housewife style home--dad worked constantly and barely saw us, and mom stayed at home. And all I heard was how much she wished he was home more, and how bad he was with us, when he was doing so much to provide for us and care for us. She is also edging on emotionally abusive with him, and I have always wished that she understood he was trying his hardest to help. Plus, my friend G with the sexless marriage and possibility of losing his ki…

Yeah, it is really funny how people think women aren't abusive when we are SO emotionally manipulative and have so much capacity for spitefulness and cruelty. We are of course physically abusive as well, but we lean more to narcissism.

I'm definitely voting, and the people in my inner circle that are feminist are not feminazis, so hopefully I won't get too much flak from them. I just wish I could do more.

How do I, as a woman, best help the cause? I'm 100% willing to be public about this (as in, blatant Facebook post public about my viewpoints). I'd really like in depth help if you don't mind, because I'm NOT a good debater, so any help I can get would be appreciated. And--I'm not worried about losing anyone I care about. My close friends/family know my viewpoints/will be accepting if I can explain it well enough. So, I'll do my best to help.

Some women are definitely willing to listen, but so many are blinded by the bad things that happen to them/friends that they refuse to see anything else. A lot of women aren't as able to look past their emotions as others.

Luckily, I am introverted so I'm fine mostly fine losing friends over this issue. Just a real shame....

I kinda feel like I have to agree with you on the second one, yeah.... They can't change until they want to, and with them existing in an echo chamber, it's unlikely.
/r/MensRights18/07/20 02:24 AM

I will. That is a fantastic resource--I don't have as much time/ability to give it a super in depth analysis tomorrow, but I really like the thought process there. Thank you!!

I was banned the exact second I posted here, yeah. Caught by automod

Yeah, I definitely see that subconscious drive existing. It's part of why I was trying to look into my own intentions of posting here--didn't want to be a Pickme or whatever

I really hope so, but there's so much of an echo chamber and it's being added to every day. It's a massive brain washy cult, and it's not getting better.

I genuinely never looked at it that way. That says a lot of really awful things, and makes me think about how all the 'yes all men' people include their nice neighbor down the street, their father, their brother, etc. They really are twisted.

I'm glad! I was admittedly a bit worried about posting (cuz I didn't want to come off all 'look at how special and good I am!') but I wanted to try and make sure that you guys know you at least have some female allies out there, and to get some sincere advice.

That is very much true, and it's very much awful. I especially laugh/feel sad about all the hatred there is for the non existent international men's day (yes it exists, but isn't celebrated in any shape or form by widespread culture). That stuff about the laws is terrifying. And you see posts by male rape victims hit the front page a couple times, so people are TRYING to get the word out about the inequality, but it keeps landing on deaf ears. And that sucks. Or, worse, it's landing on the ears …

That last line is super powerful. I really appreciate everything that post says. Thanks for sharing it with me, and I will probably link it to the next person I get into a debate with.

That makes a ton of sense, and explains why I never make any headway. Thank you so much for explaining it like that--it's clear I need to change my tactics, and/or give up entirely on the whole thing. Also, your description of yourself made me laugh. (Apologies if offensive.) And it's true. No one really deserves to suffer, but we get so caught up on personal stuff and our own viewpoints that we don't work together at all. And it's impossible to communicate. If everyone on both sides could just …

It's alright. I just find all the male feminists sad, and wish I could at least get them to understand.

And yet, I keep being told feminism preaches equality. That's bullshit.

Fuck, thanks for posting this.... I really needed to read that. I lost someone I thought was a friend, and he wasn't. I was hurting way too much over losing someone who never actually cared about me.

You can kill a man, but you can't kill an idea.
