I can assure you, that's false. You've been trolling this sub for, what, a few months now? (I've noticed your name, but not given you much attention; you're hardly worth it.) That's asshole behavior. You're using the old 'if you're not guilty you wouldn't object ot the accusation' argument, which combines the worst of gasslighting with kafka-trial-logic. That's asshole behavior. You're doing it to defgend a sweeping, sexist generalization of men. That's asshole behavior. (I'm going to assume you…

Sounds like you've lost a best friend. I'm sorry, I know that sucks - but you might have to let her go. I understand where she is coming from and know about some of her bad experiences with men in the past. And those men were horrible. But they were the exception to the rule. This is the weak man argument; a cousin to the straw man, but it uses real examples to shut you up.

After reading the 'male privilege checklist', I came to a conclusion: I don't think feminists know what equality means. They've built up in their heads this idea that men live an idealized life, that everything goes wright for us, that we have no problems. They think we're all equal to Charlie over there - y'know, that guy in Buckingham Palace. Only royalty gets the priveleges on the 'male privilege checklist'. And That's who they want equality with. Even the male feminists think, subconsciously…

Feminism is the cause of this discrimination, I'll add a little nuance to that, if I may: Feminism doesn't *cause* all the discrimination; some of it we'd have without feminism (selective service, for one thing). But feminism DOES enforce it. All of it.

There are ticktocks out there of trans women and fat women saying 'any man who refuses to date me is a -phobe'. My thinking to that, is, 'you can't coerce me into wanting to date you'. Conclusion: This (women don't owe you a date) is projectcion.

very few people are criticizing "masculinity" in general--instead, there is a rightful critique on toxic masculinity. Thos people never use the word 'masculinity' without putting the word 'toxic' in front of it, until those two words are inextricably linked in everybody's minds. By doing so, they are absolutely saying all mascunility is toxic; saying they aren't is gaslighting. It's like when people these days say 'I have mental health' - they're so used to hearing the word 'issues' or 'problems…

they say they want “equal rights” and then do shit like this This kind of thing is exactly why we see the 'if you flipped genders' argument so often. They want young men to have internalized misandry, and it's working. It also creates the kind of backlash you're talking about.

If you say 'men are like this', you are personally targeting me. I do not accept your zero-effort gaslight.

I always love the argument '(sexism) is prejudice + power'; as if prejudice itself is okay, but the problem- the only problem - is the labelyou apply to it. Even if that was the definition (it isn't), they've done *nothing* to justify it and they can't see it.

There's been a shift in pop culture away from the concept of heroes. We used to see heroes as people to look up to, aspirational role models; then we started to bring them down to feel good about ourselves; to show their flaws, until they were more flaw than hero.

Do people ask feminists that? Since I don't move in feminist circles, I guess it's possible it happens and I don't see it.

most men don't feel they can share it with others because of the shame I'm thinking of that meme you see sometimes, where there's a soft, squishy creature in a sharp square box. It crawls out of the box, saying 'I'm going to open up because everyone's saying I should'. Outside the box, it gets the snot beaten out of it. So it crawls back in saying 'never again'. That's why men don't feel they can share. (I haven't been sexually abused, but I've had my share of hardships.)

Both feminists and MRAs seem to claim a belief in equality as between the sexes. I don't actually see MRAs saying they're about equality all that often. I see them saying 'feminists claim to be about equality, but their actions prove otherwise', though. At the same time, both groups prioritize issues that adversely impact their respective genders. Not so much their respective genders, as the gender each are focused on. (Feminists can be male, MRAs can be female.) I have no problem with this, whe…

This is an ancient Feminist argment technique. Feminists never say X; they say something that makes absolutely no sense unless X is exactly what they believe. Then, when you say 'why do feminists say X?', they, in technically perfect truth, say 'I never said X'. If this happens in the heat of an agrument, they might get away with it. Here, it's very obvious.

I don't mind a bit of playful banter, even getting hit as a joke, if there's no real force behind it. However, if our society says 'that's perfectly fine if somebody does it to you, but if you even hint at the idea of doing exactly the same thing to hem you're an evil creep!'... It's the hypocrisy I have trouble with, not the act.

Maybe some sort of bizzare reclaimation of youth, or career disappointment- maybe the marriage at home is unwell or the teacher's been terminally single for too long. Well, when women do stuff like this (rape kids or cheat on their S.O. or whatever), society makes excuses for it and tries to find the 'root cause' - what made her do it? When a man does, he's just a scumbag on his own.

What's weird is, it's the feminists keeping them scared by spreading fake rape stats like '1 in 4 women will be raped', and claiming to be the solution.

Actually, you reported on 'reported rape cases'. Some of those probably weren't even commmitted by men. (It might be a minority, since rape by women is probably reported even less - and we have to acknowledge the existence of *un*reported cases on either side. The results, of course, will still show a vanishingly small percentage of men being rapists.)

It's bad research. They took an insignificantly small sample of men in Africa, mutliated their genitals, taught them about safe sex and gave them condoms. A little while later they checked them against men who hadn't been cut (and had had more chance to have sex because they weren't in pain for four days of the study), hadn't been taught safe sex, hadn't been given condoms... and somehow the second group got HIV more.

Agreed. She's come on here to ask a supportive question, and until she proves she's actively misandrist I think the best way to deal with her is to answer as if she's asked in good faith - even if you don't, personally, believe she has. Yes, it's clear she's been affected by biases; but let's help her overcome them instead of enforcing them, hey?

I recently saw a YouTube video (that, sorry, I won't be able to find again) where a male Mental Health Professional was saying that talking about feelings only worked for women; that it was women's strategy for coping; and most of the surveys that said it worked had mostly had female respondents. His conclusion? Go to therapy to talk about your feelings,. men, because the surveys say that's what works.

I am literally stating a very non feminist stance which is that men and women are biologically different and that means they are usually physically different as well. This you? We will never be equal. I think feminism does recognize this. Biologically speaking, we are not equal. ​ I’m saying we need to accept these distinct differences between us and treat each other as such when it comes to situations of violence. In other words, in the context of your post, men should take any violence women t…

It's called 'questions for men', but when men answer it, there's always somebody who says 'it's only meant for certain types of men, so if you're offended, you must be that type'.

The “prejudice plus power” formula only applies to de jure racism I once heard that it was originally coined to describe systemic racism - and that way, it does make sense. (Whether you think there's anti-white racism or anti-male sexism in the system is another question.) I figure, though, that that argument has been touted in academia and media long enough that good-faith people have bought it. I've heard the counter-argument before about the Appalachians, and I agree with it, but here's mine …

It’s my understanding that ‘racism’ is prejudice PLUS power. And that racism without power is just prejudice. That’s why it’s not racism when there’s no power. You've been lied to. That was never the definition of prejudice, until a bunch of bigots redefined the word because in their heads they think prejudice is okay because 'it's not called racism when I do it!'

I hadn't read the secret origin of 'emotional labor' before. That's actually a reasonable term.

I do not understand why men do. You need to be really dumb to believe it We believe the reality we are presented.

Their 'logic' is, it isn't systemic, therefore it doesn't exist.

Upvoting for the spirit of the comment, but: I'm not sure most of those examples fit under the term 'zero sum game'; most of them are just the usual hypocrisy. Zero-sum game is when we start talking about men's issues and they chime in with 'but women have it worse'. Zero sum is when we advocate for men having rights, and they fight back as if men having rights means women do not. Zero sum is holding a protest against Warren Farrell speaking out for men's rights, because that's misogyny.

You have proven throughout this conversation that you ignore / downplay / dismiss / excuse misandry when you see it. You saying you haven't observed misandry in feminist spaces means less than nothing. Feminsts say plenty about men that is not misandry. I never said otherwise. I said feminists say plenty of things that are misandry. That's not even close to the same thing. Stop binary thinking things; it might…

It dismisses the plight of men to such a major extent that it completely ignores the definition of the phrase 'primary victim'. That's misandry. this is a stance the UN has taken as well Then the UN is also misandrous. (UN Women tweet: "11% of journalists murdered in 2021 were women" There is no UN men.)

I couldn't even find that hillary clinton quote. "Women are the primary victims of war. They lose fathers, brothers, sons." I am sure you can find MRA's who advocate or participate in mysogyny. But that does not mean MRA movement is inherintly mysogynistc. All of that is true. But I can find MRAs who talk about men's issues without ignoring / putting down / suppressing women's needs and rights.

No principals of feminism or feminsts scholars call for misandry and many renounce it. It is fine for the MRA to be against misandry, but attacking feminism you are missing the mark. You posted the same thing on the YouTube comments section. I'm sure somebody here will point you towards the S.C.U.M,. manifesto, Hillary Clinton quotes, talk about 'reducing males to 10% of the population', etc... but you won't read any of that and just turn around and say 'they're not real feminists' and somebody …

Our current society is run by men for the benefit of women, based not on claimed intent but on what the laws and society actually act like. First, I have one regret: I have only one upvote to give. Second, imagine if we had a single word for this society and could get feminists to listen to us: we could swap out that word for what they currently call 'patriarchy' and solve so many of our differences.

I've just now figured out what the real difference is: Who benefits? When you do work for a corporation, it's the corporation that benefits, and they give you money as a reward. When you do household chores, you're working for yourself, you benefit from a job well done, and so it becomes its own reward.

'women fear violence' isn't the lie - they do fear it more. Because feminists are constantly telling them to. Because feminists are so hellbent on demonizing men that they've created a climate of fear for women - and not for men. The lie, of course, is the implication that women have a reason to fear violence more.

They would always say why didn’t you hit her? This kind of argument always gets to me. We boys are always taught it's wrong to hit girls, and if we do we're treated like monsters - which means that girls can get away with anything against us. Oh, and feminists tell us that abuse against men doesn't count because men are stronger than women (when they're not saying women are just as strong as men). So what? Being hit still hurts; the only way we're allowed to use that strength is to take the abus…

I've been the only male in otherwise all-female conversations many times. Trust me, it's not because you're gay. As far as I can tell, women love talking their hatred of men. Maybe it's venting, but being a male listening to that is not a good way to grow up.

Same reason why people blow off the concerns and problems of minorities. I'd suggest it's the exact opposite.

it might be beneficial to use alternative terms like 'boundary crossing' because men just don't relate to terms like domestic violence/abuse.

The biggest problem I have with the term is that feminists never use the word 'masculinity' without putting the word 'toxic' in front of it, until the two words get inextricably linked in people's minds.
