I never called you a liar in my original comment, and in the second I said I didn't believe you - not the same. So no repeated accusations. You were on Reddit, why are you even trying to lie about that (now I am calling you are liar). Your own comments are time stamped. If you wanted a good faith conversation why chose to engage with those raging instead. I called you out and you are deflecting. If this keeps happening to you, perhaps you need to reflect on what the common demonstrator in these …

Hiya, so you know more about me...I am ex-feminist and now egalitarian. Was a feminist for 20 years, studied it at university level. I am also a gay male who got introduced to gender critical thought and gender deconstructionism from an early age. I'd like to offer some insights based purely on what you wrote here: The vibe in the men’s rights spaces I’ve been reading is so vitriolic I have to constantly reset my defenses to consider what legitimate analysis underlies it. Understand that a mens …

As a gay man I agree with this entirely. Men have systematic issues that uniquely effect them but are invisible as they're an accepted standard for male existance. Men are expected to sacrifice themselves in all aspects for their family - including their ability to be seen as an individual in the family unit. What we need is a properly organised mens movement to fight for our rights to equal family life, equal social acceptance in spaces, to fight against the damage done by feminism causing wome…

Meanwhile in the UK, which is just one small country, there was the audacious plan under Starmer to convert female prisons into male prisons. To elaborate on this...there has been lobbying to make womens punishment for the same crimes as mens to have shorter sentences or none at all. What I think you're referring to here is that male prisons are full, and had the above gone ahead they can then convert female prisons into male prisons.

They just don't recognise that women are reading/mentally consuming more porn where as men are visually comusing porn. Blind to their own behaviours because they're comparing themselves against men, rather than self evaluating.

Yep - it really has been the dominant narative for a long time. Stuff that men does is bad and should be viewed with suspicion. It's utterly undermined the sanctity of mens only spaces. Oh yeah, mens only clubs and societies (including Men's Sheds) is no longer exclusively for men.

There was a British TV show (EDIT: Adolescence) which kinda (but didn't really) show the radicalisation on a young male (whilst absolving the female bully as a factor) and Feminism already has its foot in the door. So rather than addressing the issue of boys and men falling behind women, they're tackling the emotional response to these circumstances. Remember, Feminism is mainstream these days. The rebellious underdog is MRAs.

Ive met few women with Boarderline Personality Disorder whom would accuse men of "being creepy" or sexual wrong-doing without evidence, and when pointed out it that lack of evidence was evidence of them being manipulative and hiding it well. There are just some people in the world who enjoy the power of lying and getting away with it.

Every Monday evening. Run by men, for men. All volunteers have been through a storm, and will guide you through yours.

Literally had a woman try claim I'm sexist because a recent study into domestic violance didn't cover men and it got pointed out. I wasn't even the OP. But apparently talking about men being invisible to these things is somehow hating women. Could not for the life of her see her own bias.

There is certainly UK narrative formed by media that in Victorian England that the life of the average women was that of a bored aristocrat, or that a man beat and wrapped his wife openly and freely, and refused her any money, and there was never any negative social consequences for this. Utter bollocks. A man was responsible for his wife's debts. If she racked up debt, he paid it off or went to prison. Women died in childbirth...a LOT. Horrid and painfully. It's why women were overly protected …

Well...fuck. I cannot wait for feminists to cry about how men are so violent that 90% of prison spaces are taken up by men. So this is entirely Vera's pet project to get women out of prison rather than preventative messages (which I'm sure was the actual point of the Justice Board).

Thankfully this won't happen. But let's not think for one second how ideas like this come to being. The narratives around women's agency and vulnerability have got to stop. We need to challenge them where we see them and bring parity to society for men and women.

I'm sure (and I do mean this with some sincerity) that some feminist, somewhere, online is typing how that's your male privledge to not be harassed for simply existing, or something. How sometimes you just want to be in a massively social space and not be the centre of attention, but don't you dare expect me to leave if I'm not happy there because that's men pushing women out of spaces, probably.

None of this has to be a zero sum game. There is no winner or loser between the genders so long as we are all living under a system with oppressive attitudes to personal liberty.

It's a joint effort between people not understanding how to read data and the media being the mouthpiece for political propaganda. Women became more liberal than men in Gen Z, but men also became more liberal (just not as much as women). Therefor, the story is that "Gen Z Men More Conservative Than Women" which is technically true but not factually true.

I was being slightly hyperbolic and sarcastic, but only slightly. Feminism refuses to accept that it has accomplished it's goals and is no longer fit for purpose. It maintains that women are perpetual victims, builds it's grand narative of victimhood bigger and further beyond reality into the absurd. And this refusal to dissolve so something new can take its place is causing damage to women and men alike. As it refuses to die or help men, it will continue to find minor grievances, constantly and…

I was Anarcho-Feminist for a while and none of the other AF's gave a single toss about mens issues. If you brought them up it became a "but women has it worse" discussion. I'm with Clockw0rk on this one... Feminism is too authoritarian and led by corrupt thought leaders who are seeking to fill their own pockets.

We need real world collectivisation of men to represent their political and social issues. We need to be ready with mental health and financial assistance for anyone who needs it.

I'm convinced Feminism is nothing but a cult. Patriarchy is the unfalsifiable devil to justify their continued existence. Despite feminism having basically nothing more to achieve for women, the devil still lives... And therefor the march towards the female dominate future must continue!

Bit of a tangent rant here but... Young men have no role models. And by which I mean no one to show them how to be a good father. How to take responsibility for your actions.

May I check, as many of the personal definitions of Patriarchy people hold here will be defined by western or American experiences, when you define Patriarchy does that include an effect of subjugating women and minorities? And if it does, is that exclusively as Patriarchy is expressed in your country or do you believe it expands to Patriarchy as a whole?

While therapy is more about shifting the mindset and letting go of issues, it's about learning to not feel responsible, which is useless for someone whose entire life relies on and is judged on being the pillar of responsibility.

Men are the providers and the women cash in on the pensions. Like, don't get me wrong - being a home maker is hard but you don't sacrifice your family for it.

Farage will probably directly benefits from a property portfolio, and not having people in those buildings will directly affect their value.

Thank you. For additional clarification, new shorthand terms and rhetoric are not inherently thought terminating clichés and we need to be cautious about over using the word, lest it become the very clichés we're discussing. Calling someone an incel is another example of a thought terminating cliche.

I believe they're using "thought terminating clichés" to shut down discussion. Thought Terminating Clichés are short-hand rhetoric for complicated ideas. Often ones that are actually either ill-defined or can be interpritted broadly in the mind of the person hearing it. But the user believes it makes them justified. Often we see this when someone takes complicated issues, finds the weakest aspect of that subject then claiming all problems about that issue are from these key points. "The Patriarc…

Just had this run-in on another sub where I requested appropriate use of non-generalising language when discussing sexual assault and was met with (firstly) accusations of "whataboutism" (it wasn't) then "false equivolancy" (also wasn't). Logically, I suspect they've convinced themselves that men, as whole ("Men™"), do infact commit these crimes. And that I, as a gay male whose never had sex with a women, am as much responsible for the crimes of all men as the criminals themselves. What they did…

But I don't understand why we couldn't have just come up with the idea of men and women having different personalities and temperaments ages ago. This is an old idea that dates back thousands of years. The structure of Jungian architypes is based on this vast history. To use your own example, before they were planets, Venus and Mars are the names of Roman Gods. Venus = Godess of fertility and femininity, Mars = the god of war. These architypes is why "women are from Venus snd men are from Mars" …

Won't lie, I'm glad to be gay during today's times. Men are cute, men are masculine, men have lots of positives that just are not talked about. Plus, by being gay you think men naturally smell great, get waaaay more hugs and have an independent yet vibrant culture and history.

An astute observation. As a gay man, it's almost expected that I'm not stereotypically masculine. And that's kinda fine as I am not that, but it was also expected that I'd be a lot more feminine than I am. It's a binary mode of thinking related to sexual roles, that's simultaneously contradictory. Gay men are either passive ("bottoms") and therefor feminine, or assertive ("tops") and therefor masculine.

Because once an ideological movement has become entrenched in a society someone, somewhere, will be making money out of it and it needs to find justifications for its existence. This is when the focus stops being about the politics and starts being about the survival of the organisation.

If we tackle subjects like DV and SA as a general problem then Feminists …

Didn't feminism just spend a decade and a # movement in convincing men NOT to approach women? Didnt they say it was harassment to approach a women to flirt? Didnt they say flirting full-stop is kinda like harassment? Didnt they push for harder punishments for men who are reported harassing women? Did they not fight for a dissolving of female gender roles (to be courted being part of this). Why all the shocked pikachu's in the media about this? The joined-up thinking is distinctly lacking.

This is a contentious talking point but I know what you're saying. There is being gay, lesbian, bi, etc And then there is being a political activist pushing an ideological agenda.

Intersectionalities greateat strength is it'd greateat flaw - the Oppressed/Oppressor dichotomy. If I remember correctly, intersectionality started off as a tool for councillors and psychiatrist to simple rememeber to look at the broader picture of an individuals life and experiences. It also helps to seperate these experience into aspects of a person's life instead of having them all jumbled together so they and the patient can untangle them together.

Feminists have been weaponising sexuality for ages. "incel" is one word that comes to mind in this regard. But before then calling someone a "virgin" or "basement dweller" was another way of saying this sentiment - you're not sexually viable and should feel bad about that.

If you're really stuck, why not try fostering some dogs that need looking after? Some countries do this when their owners go to jail or are in between forever homes.

But be cautious - her parents are not the enemy, so when you do show it to them do so as a concern for their daughters well being. Do not take delight in it because they sure won't. Be reasonable to them, and block contact with her. And have a plan against retaliation. Perhaps call the police and say you'd like to report …

No one is talking about the uncomfortable truth here. They would rather not help women than help men too. That's one way of looking at it.

Six months ago I decided to try and get my work place to help a not for profit mens mental health group (see below for details and contact information) by offering spaces for them to host their meetings. I've yet to see if anything will come of it but fingers crossed. This year for International Mens Day I spoke to our (female led) mental health team about having…

This is it. This is tokenisation. They're trying to turn you into their ideal of a Bi person as if who you are now isn't the "real" you because you're too "hero-normative". This is sterotyping at its finest. Simply because you're not a screaming queen you must be oppressing yourself and need patronising into liberation. I swear this type of person is super biggoted but with no self awareness.

Yeah, there’s a sort of fashionability in “respecting” certain identities based on what woke idpol claims at the time. This is absolutely true. Gay men were tokenised for a long time because of this until we were deemed "too cis, too normative, too mainstream" and now we are part of the oppressor class along side straight men to the extent that we were pushed out of LGBT groups by some student bodies in the UK. Bi men and trans men are the flavour of the day and the Wokies are absolutely tokenis…

Its an extention of the Women Are Wonderful mentality. If past attempts by Feminists to vilify men (in every aspect of existence) are anything to go by I wouldn't sorry about this specific meme getting traction. It'll die very quickly. Don't get me wrong, it does not mean they should not be challenged - absolutely and they should. I am saying this kind of messaging will get a lot of flack as it attacks autists.

This is the damage and danger of internalising 'narratives' in ideological discourse. Feminism has STRONG internal narratives that perpetuate men vs women, oppressor vs oppressed mindsets. If you buy into that even a little bit it obscures the humanity of half the population of the world. I find political agitators and bad actors like the mods of MensLib to be insidious.

The problem with mentality behind #BelieveWomen et al is the disparity towards men. However, this is not the fault of the hashtag or desires to be believed themselves but the black and white thinking many people have. For example, if the implication is that if you don't 100% back the "believe women" mentality you must be against women being believed. Slap that all in an echo chamber and you get hyper vigilent people who are convinced anyone who isn't with them are against them.

The only people allowed to vote were those who owned land. This did include women. Those who were not were working class folks. This changed once the artistocrasy began to realise they needed incentives and a way of honouring those who participate in war drafts. This meant men got the vote first. But it was very shortly after that women got the vote too. That was a class issue, not a sex issue.

My original comment was about how this graph didn't show how they've come to their data, what variables they've accounted for when gathering this data and how the accounted for cultural shifts. I used homosexual activity (which includes bisexual makes) as an example because there has been a huge shift in social and political values around the time (2014) the spike starts to go up past its average of 20% and that could account for some of its increase. You have to take all variables into consider…

No but homosexual acceptance between that time period could account for part of the 10% jump between the difference of when it previously peaked and now. I'm not saying it accounts for all of it, I am saying it isn't showing it is being accounted for. Additionally, I've seen people referencing studies on how Gen Z is having less permiscuious sexual activity than Millenials et al. This too could be a factor relating to the increase. That AND the popularity of dating apps could have caused this sp…

The way this graph presents its data it doesnt actually tell us much and I think people are jumping to conclusions. The jump between the height of its last spike in 2008 and 2018 is an increase of about 10% on the chart (which as rightly pointed out below is a 50% increase overall). However, it doesn't show it has accounted for variables such as sample size (we have no idea how many psrticipated - was it 10 or 10 thousand?), location of gathered data, changing cultural attitudes towards homosexu…

Please, let's stay on topic - diverting into No True Feminist rhetoric isn't conductive to this conversation. Feminism isn't a monolith and you don't get to decide for other people if they are or are not Feminists.

We've all seen those Tweets stating "As a Feminist, I am tired..." - they're doing a LOT of mental work to seek, claimed and rally against precieved injustices. It is exhausting. I was a Feminist for two decades. I was paranoid, tired, angery, elitist and mentally unwell all the damn time.

Feminists that think like that do not prescribe to the same ideology as the ones I am talking about. You have to remember the "Feminism has many branches"/"Not my Feminism" structure of the ideology - it's whatever they believe and want it to be. So whilst the hypothetical Feminists we both described would say the other isn't a real Feminist (No True Scotsman) in some capacity, what they say may be different but what they do is the same. They clutch at having power to control men's actions. Edit…

More so than that. They think that it's inherent that by men collecting our very nature's will curate an atmosphere of male supremacy in delicate and subtle ways. We then enforce it through validating each others behaviour, though ignoring or forgiving the tiny thoughts and actions which lead to bigger said male supremacy over time. Feminists don't think we will do these things they KNOW we will do these things. They know because we are bigger, stronger, meaner, more self serving and enjoy power…

This is how confirmation bias amongst groups is formed and becomes ideological. Outliers cluster together because of their shared interest and experience. They bond and make social groups. Eventually a narative forms from the broad experiences of the group. They reaffirm this amongst themselves until they agree its a Truth. From there, the outliers of even that group either branch off or they are peer pressured into believing the narative. Even here we are not immune to this and must be vigilent…

Whilst I would not recommend drinking as it will fuel your depression... Defiently don't smoke weed! It will flair up your psychosis. I can't recommend drug taking and self medication as an official fix for anything. I did that for years and very gradually ended up a mess of a person.

I've had experience with BPD in myself and others. Sounds to me like you need to learn a way to take some control over your life so you don't feel compelled to live it vicariously through others. A lot of people struggle with this but it's not that difficult to master. Learning how to respect your own boundaries and say "no" is part of it but so is learning how to start your own projects, for you and no one else. From there you may feel a better sense of self, and less need to latch onto others …

Agreed, critical thinking is entirely about self awareness and self analysis. It is a vital tool in therapy and being an intelligent adult. Critical Theory externalises the analysis onto systems.

Because of multiple variables to do with personal, biological and socio-economic situations, such as boys do extremely well in vocational subjects and less so in academic subjects.

You're absolutely right in your statement (and you've backed that up), men have a predisposition to having medical vulnerabilities to COVID due to other men's related medical problems. I should know - my grandad caught COVID after surviving two strokes and has COPD. Strokes and COPD drastically increase the liklihood of COVID finishing you off. He's basically a gonner and its fucking horrible.

Thank you for sharing your story and glad to have you on board. Yes, learning about men's issues is an interesting one. If I recall correctly, the age at which being an MRAs suddenly spikes is about the late 20s. I assume this is due to gaining life experience on the realities of being an adult male. I think the major precursor to this is circumcision, which affects boys and some knowledge of what it's like going through the custody system. Other than that society is heavily focused on the "fema…

This is the aspect of "toxic masculinity" which is rooted in elements of misogyny - that the feminine is inherently lesser than masculinity (in whatever form that happens to take).

I've had to sleep on this but here is my response. I am sorry it is not as in depth as I would like. in the context of using the survey with men, anger is potentially more loaded because of how men and anger are represented together often.

As a side, I would argue that if there was any singular emotion men are allowed to express it is contentment. But that's for another time. It was more of a thr…

Or that 'anger' is the only valid emotion we are allowed to express - it isn't. No one is comfortable around an angery man, not even other men. Infact a man being angery is scary because we are more likely to know to what extent they've been pushed to then lose their temper. The word "anger" comes up about 3 times in the survey. I believe confusion one, maybe irritation once? But the singular most common emotion stated is anger (no positive emotions), an extremely leading word to use when descri…

I agree as I can't remember any other posts that come even remotely close to what they're describing. It says something when a man is so distraught at his own mentality and actions that he comes to ask for help... And Feminists use that as a weapon against not only him but us, the people he came to for help and who did help him. Clearly they wouldn't help. No road to redemption.

I believe the reason for this is several fold, but most of all because of the Patriarchy theory. It stipulates that men hold the power in society and have done for hundreds of years... It doesn't really say for how long, just that men do. And because of this it creates an oppressed and oppressor framework for Feminists to view the entire world through. Therefor, is woman are oppressed then men must be oppressing. That's at its surface level (and most people don't think very far beyond that). Sec…

Remember that this isn't women's fault - this is the fault of an ideology which has taught its believers they are victims and to preach this victimhood to all women. Hating women won't help you, it'll only make you feel ill, resentful and as bad as the people you detest.

This quote by the researcher is also very strange. Does he really think that minority men cannot teach or be role models to working-class white British boys? Can men only become role models to boys of the same race? I think they're implying that where white boys are suffering most white male teachers are also abandoning the profession. Not that black or other races can't be good role models but that the coralation between these two factors is, itself, alarming.

I mainly sat and observed in silence. When I first joined I was just on my way out of socialising with the radical left and trying to settle on some place where my understanding of politics and the world aligned. I nestled as an observer at MensLib for two reasons: 1) It was a feminist sub that addressed men's issues, an utter rarity. 2) It felt familiar yet I was still burnt from my experiences dealing with the RadLeft so wanted to not get too involved. Over time I chipped in now and again when…

Taking the very foundations of Racism, that these identitarians claim to be against, and using it to hold a mirror up to their actions is perfect!

Ah, you're right that prejudice will never truly become extinct as that's inhereted entirely by a cross wire of different evolved instincts and pattern recognition in the brain. But what is considered fair and what is considered racist are two separate entities - when does it stop being fair to have affirmative action? Is it racist to stop it or continue it? Etc. Let's not forget that affirmative action not only is race related but sex related in certain fields and positions too. It is at the ve…

Aye, exactly. But I think that when affirmative action was introduced it was never considered what benchmarks have to be met to enable it to come to an end, or even how to facilitate that ends approach. With the can kicked down the road it's never crossed the mind of successive governments of the West that it would normalise affirmative action as a replacement for actual solutions thus make the plight of those who use it worse.

I can't think of greater evidence that the equalities faced by the American public are not ones drawn along lines of race and sex but class. This is not coincidence or an overlooked mistake.

Wow is correct. The line has been drawn in the sand. I am not a fan of Trump on the whole but I was ever glad to hear he was consulting with people like Dr Warren Farrel on how to help men and boys, as well as other on issues of race and gender. I believe this is the outcome of those consultations and perhaps can expect more to come of it.

I'm not American but from what I understand that type of funding is the antithesis of what America should be standing for. Don't misunderstand me. I am not ignorant of the social and historical injustices that have plagued humanities history at all. And I do believe that projects such as affirmative action had their place in time to crowbar a course correction for social equality (through economic up-lift). But it doesn't address the actual sources of these problems - it is a short cut, a band a…

I suspect I got what used to be called 'shadow-banned' and maybe I still am. I didn't see any posts from the sub in my feed for probably about 2 weeks and even now I do at a lesser frequency to what I thought I used to. But perhaps its a trick of the imagination. But much more likely is that there were so many of us arguing the good argument without crossing the line that they couldn't ban us all.

I think a lot of male feminists have good intentions but, frankly, are driven subconsciously by their desire to be both a visable sexual option as well as their own need to be a 'good person'. And like with many people who get driven by their base instincts (sex and protecting the ego from harm) it's really hard to shake them out of it. I'm not saying that male feminists are predators BTW - all humans are driven by base sexual desire to be considered sexually viable. However, feminist men are ti…

This is bevause they've internalised Feminism as part of their identity. That thing they do when they screech and get physically hostile and attack you at your place of work? That's the act of them having cognative disonence in their brain attacking a person or idea that's destabilising their ego and understanding of the world. So yes, it is that they make it part of their personality - like a cult. Infact if you want to learn more about radical feminism I would research cults.

The kind of hysteria around the danger of males is under the majority of feminists objections to male equality (in family court's, jobs, who has the responsibility to 'check ones privledge' etc) and SOME trans equality also. Now I'm not trying to make this about trans people, simply to make the point that often the claim of "man in a dress" being in women's spaces is accompanied by the assumption of imediate sexual or physical assault. And that to me is a piece of evidence of this hysteria over …

That's because you're missing the point I'm trying to make - the term "reverse racism" only exists because those who use it are also redefining the word racism. By the writer using the word "reverse racism" they're contextualising "racism" to mean their definition and normalise their 'woke' definition. If they use the term racism properly there is no need for "reverse racism". So the 'woke' crowds redefinition of racism is a equation between power (by which they mean hierarchical power, which is…

Well yes, that's exactly what they are saying - what we (that is, the broad concensus of those in this thread but also those who'd take issue with the term "reverse racism") are saying is that the word is a bullshit term made up to fill a logical void made by the 'woke' crowd who have tried to forcefully redefine the definition of racism. Up until very recently this ("reverse racism") was never a word that was used in any context, it was always "racism" because racism is a very simple meaning th…

There is no such thing as reverse-racism, my dude. This is a super new term made up by people attempting to redefine whst racism means to exclude responsibility from minotity groups. The fact that they've then had to construct the concept of 'reverse racism' to explain the process of said minorities acting overtly racist should be telling of how wrong their initial premise is. Racism is racism and redefining the term doesn't help make life easier.
