3	Something Haunting about Men's Rights You might want to look into Internalized Oppression and Learned Helpessness. Almost every social group exhibits traits and behaviours that go against the very thing the majority of them fight against and behaviours and beliefs that enforce the oppression of their interests, be it internalized racism, sexism or homophobia. Men are far from the only ones that do this. Social groups are not monolithic in thought or action, if you look at individual groups, you see that there are a lot of conflictin…	/r/MensRights	16/08/19 11:59 AM

1	Honest question: If, according to the feminist narrative, there is something inherently "bad" and "toxic" in Male nature, why are they so hostile towards men that voluntarily decide not to engage in any kind of romantic relationship with women, let alone get married? Alright maybe I misinterpreted, but the reality is that OP and I were talking about toxic masculinity, to which he said that, and I quote: Nobody taught us to be dominant. We tend to suppress our emotions because they are a handicap when we have to deal with stressful situations. The agenda wants to create an army of weak, effeminate males, easy to oppress and willing to conform. To which I replied that there is a lot of evidence pointing supporting the notion that suppressing emotions is social…	/r/MensRights	16/08/19 10:57 AM
1	Honest question: If, according to the feminist narrative, there is something inherently "bad" and "toxic" in Male nature, why are they so hostile towards men that voluntarily decide not to engage in any kind of romantic relationship with women, let alone get married? If the only thing you can think of is "either it's perfect or it's not worth doing" then we'll never get anywhere. Do you have a problem with saying things can be improved? If you'd read the second part of my comment you would have an idea of why "they way [things] are" can still be improved.	/r/MensRights	16/08/19 10:40 AM
0	There is this one song that sums up “toxic masculinity” Yeah I mean in that case I always think that both sides are acting in an idiotic manner. Everytime something likes this comes up there's this "competing victim syndrome" where both sides are trying to one-up the other and say "See how I'm worse off than you?!". It's the same shit that happens in radical feminist circles that happens in here, look at that Mothers vs Fathers post. It seems like no one can keep their victimhood in their pants, as soon as one person says "Hey I'm not doing so great"…	/r/MensRights	16/08/19 08:03 AM
1	Honest question: If, according to the feminist narrative, there is something inherently "bad" and "toxic" in Male nature, why are they so hostile towards men that voluntarily decide not to engage in any kind of romantic relationship with women, let alone get married? Well yes I selected the data for higher education because the claim was "even in colleges now". Thanks for your links however, you're the first one that actually and directly links to things that he is talking about in here. And yeah, this is a huge problem, as I said, the problem is that boys grow up without positive male role models. Regarding social psychology, when did this shift happen exactly? I have to admit, I'm not that versed in the history of Psychology, but you seem to know a bit mor…	/r/MensRights	16/08/19 07:52 AM
-1	There is this one song that sums up “toxic masculinity” I agree with most of what you are saying, but this seems weird to me: All the feminists are saying “WoMeN iN vIdEo GaMeS aNd MoViEs ArE uNrEaLiStIc” And they need to shut the fuck up because men in rom coms,action movies and a bunch of other shit are made to seem like hero’s who are buff as shit and will risk there life’s. Which messes women have high standers for men and when a man is not like that they make fun of them. So women "need to shut the fuck up" about unrealistic and harmful depictio…	/r/MensRights	16/08/19 07:40 AM
1	Honest question: If, according to the feminist narrative, there is something inherently "bad" and "toxic" in Male nature, why are they so hostile towards men that voluntarily decide not to engage in any kind of romantic relationship with women, let alone get married? While I agree that mother's are mostly the primary care-givers for children, I call bullshit on your "educated by women, even in colleges now", unless you show me some evidence, but what I've found directly contradicts your statements: Some 22 per cent of professors – 4,415 out of 19,750 in total - were female in 2013-14 compared with just 15 per cent in 2003-04, according to a report by the Higher Education Statistics Agency.

1	Honest question: If, according to the feminist narrative, there is something inherently "bad" and "toxic" in Male nature, why are they so hostile towards men that voluntarily decide not to engage in any kind of romantic relationship with women, let alone get married? It doesn't have to be "perfect", I don't think anyone is saying "Men should be able to perfectly express their emotions", that's another unnecessary standard we can't live up to. The key point is emotional literacy, i.e. as Steiner described it (Steiner 1997: Achieving Emotional Literacy) to be able to know your feelings (including having a vocabulary to name and assess them), having empathy and being able to manage your feelings. Given that men are more likely to be angry resulting in violence …	/r/MensRights	16/08/19 07:01 AM
-5	Honest question: If, according to the feminist narrative, there is something inherently "bad" and "toxic" in Male nature, why are they so hostile towards men that voluntarily decide not to engage in any kind of romantic relationship with women, let alone get married? How do you know that it is not a learned behaviour? Especially the "[s]uppressing emotions"-part? As per Psychology Today: After all, other components of masculinity—like aggressiveness, dominance, competitiveness—have some biological roots in boys. Even before birth, males have far higher testosterone levels than females, and this contributes to different temperaments seen very early in life, independent of socialization. On average, young boys are more impulsive, physically active, and have mo…	/r/MensRights	15/08/19 03:13 PM

There is a great episode from the Man Up podcasts where Trystan Cotten, a black trans man talks about his transition from black woman to man and how drastic the change was in how people treated him. However keep in mind that black women face(d) their own share of problems that white women (and men) did not face - the stereotype of the black woman as promiscuous and lewd was almost as prevalent as the stereotype of th…	/r/MensRights	15/08/19 02:57 PM

I mean, the article explicity states the opposite of what you are saying, did you even read it? So what does “toxic masculinity,” or “traditional masculinity ideology,” mean? Researchers have defined it, in part, as a set of behaviors and beliefs that include the following: - Suppressing emotions or masking distress - Maintaining an appearance of hardness - Violence as an indicator of power (think: “tough-guy” behavior) In other words: Toxic masculinity is what can come of teaching boys that the…	/r/MensRights	15/08/19 02:46 PM

No need to delete your post. I simply wanted to know which "feminist narrative" you are referencing. I mean if we take a Dines or a Firestone, I'd agree with you, but that's like saying that according to the Men's Rights Movement rape is totally okay, because Valizadeh said so?	/r/MensRights	15/08/19 02:35 PM

1	The Truth about Feminism is they just don't care about men or equality at all. It's about privileges for themselves. How did you come to this conclusion? What exposure have you had to feminist litarature?	/r/MensRights	15/08/19 02:07 PM

1	The Truth about Feminism is they just don't care about men or equality at all. It's about privileges for themselves. No - You are wrong. What I am saying is that Feminism = Weaponised Gynocentrism. Gynocentrism is the naturally evolved human tendency (Homo sapiens sapiens- not Homo sapiens Neanderthalis) Because of Industrial and technological development this natural human tendency, once essential to preserve the species, can now function unchecked, and hence has a cancerous effect. Men's Rights Activism, on the other hand has developed in opposition to Governmental and Societal pressure to force men into uti…	/r/MensRights	15/08/19 07:57 AM

-1	The Truth about Feminism is they just don't care about men or equality at all. It's about privileges for themselves. Wow, did you just sit on a thesaurus? Let's see your definition: feminism as weaponised gynocentrism, the industrially and technologically facilitated exacerbation of evolutionary bias towards the maintenance of functioning wombs, enabled in such a way as to overrun all other demands for resources to the point of societal deterioration Correct me if I misunderstand, because I have to look up every second word here, but you are essentially saying that a) there is an "evolutionary bias" to ensure …	/r/MensRights	14/08/19 03:19 PM

2	"Feminism and the Downfall of Civilisation" Vienna 1927. What to do with Dr. Eberhard's interesting critique? Comedy gold or basis for serious discussion? Perhaps there is some equivalent English work? I'm not sure where you are getting the notion that "feminism/surge in women's rights always happens towards the end of a civilisation/empire [emphasis added]" from. Even if we were to take Glubb's assessment of empires as a valid source (which I would say it isn't, given that his method of research is questionable and the dates and empires he picked seem highly arbitrary - Roman Republic 260-27 B.C? Roman Empire 27 B.C.-A.D.180? Come on, that's something that even a quick Wikipedia search would …	/r/MensRights	14/08/19 10:53 AM
