Maybe it wasn't him? It's not unusual for jars to be super tight for no real reason. It sounded like she was just blaming him and getting angry without even knowing if it was his fault. I'm pretty sure jar tightness is usually due to the pressure and not necessarily how tight they are twisted

God the 'this is caused by patriarchy' line is so condescending. I always get this when I talk about male DV victims. The policies in my country which deny I exist were written by women's groups and feminist academics and specifically cite intersection feminism as their guiding ideology yet somehow patriarchy is the reason my experiences don't get taken seriously and if I just support feminists it will get better

These subs are dreadful for this and I hate it. I remember one where a woman said that her marriage was perfect except that her husband closes jars too tight. OP talked about screaming at her partner so loud the neighbours were commenting on it, and there wasn't any really clear cut evidence that he was even responsible for the jars being tight. The comments all concluded that he must be an abuser who is pretending to be perfect but secretly tightening jars to try to subtly undermine her sanity.…

The UK trial literally ignored all the audio evidence because heard was not 'under oath' when it was recorded. If you read the judgement the judge basically decided that since there was evidence Depp used drugs Amber's story was most likely true. It was a joke. It was a single judge who just believed her story and ignored the actual evidence.

No it isn't. This is a well established pattern that occurs even when women abuse men. A lot of 'mutual abuse' is actually abuse with one abuser and one victim who sometimes fights back or gets falsely accused like Depp was. Couples that have poor self control and get in mild physical fights but without any fear, threats, or emotional manipulation also exist but this does not tend to cause PTSD and trauma like the other kind.

No he isn't. There's hours of audio and 95% of the time all he does is try to deescalate while validating Amber. That's not abuser behaviour.

Yep same here. If they would support Amber despite the audio recordings they will support any female abuser. Seeing the people who constantly talk about defending victims siding with an abuser because of her gender flipped my world view. They even wrote condescending articles about how all the women saying they recognised the abuse tactics Amber was using because their male abusers had done the same things all just had 'internalised misogyny'. No normal person could listen to the audio and not s…

Thet write good practice guidelines that basically say to arrest the man in pretty much any case, then use the lack of men willing to call police or support services as evidence that male victims don't exist.

Interestingly there was an analysis of the audio a year before the trial which highlighted that Amber shows the most abusive behaviour Honestly the Depp/heard case is a litmus test. No normal person listening to the hours of audio of her taunting and screaming at him could not see that he was the victim. Anyone who says she is is either seriously disturbed, has an agenda, or simply hasn't properly listened to the tapes and is getting their info from paragraphs written by her apologists.

You should see Australia's policies. The Victoria, Australia official domestic violence policy states that women only ever use force in self defenceamd that male victims are only victims of male partners and male parents etc. They refuse to even call them female perpetrators. They instead say: 'women who use force'. I went through the research papers the policy cites and literally every one was just a study interviewing women charged with domestic violence and asking them their motive and taking…

This absolutely. Most is literally just abstract theorising by feminist philosophers in the mid 20th century reinforced with 'studies' done with bad methodologies and cherry picked data. Which is not to say they don't talk about important issues because they do in many cases. But the theory underlying their understanding is not the absolute truth they portray it as.

They don't even need to actively help men, they just need to stop going out their way to hide that male victims exist.

The problem is it means recognising that there is a significant number of women who are abusive. Which means that there are a significant number of women willing to be aggressive and manipulative and predatory towards men and especially men they date/marry. Feminist work often talks about how abusers lie, manipulate courts and police, and falsely accuse victims. Acknowledging female abusers means acknowledging that women do this as well. If you acknowledge these women you have to acknowledge tha…

Legit their studies genuinely rely on just asking women convicted of abuse what their motive was and then taking this at face value when they say 'he deserved it'. There an actual study where there is a case where a woman boiled a kettle and poured boiling water over her partners feet because he verbally 'provoked her'. The guy also had visible injuries and scars from stab wounds and being attacked with kitchen items. The author (and the police who had received gendered DV training) claimed HE w…

Look up studies by people like Elizabeth Bates and denise hines and other studies with male victims to show that this violence is not 'relatively harmless' at all and that saying that it is is just downplaying the issue. But aside from that the 'gendered lens' is built on heaps of assumptions and questionable claims based purely on feminist theory. They are claiming to know what causes these behaviours but they really don't. It's a political ideology. If they care about actually understanding th…

Their complaints were perfectly In line with feminism but it got locked anyway because the mod felt it came a bit too close to men feeling like they face systemic social pressures/problems.

Crenshaw's original work was a criticism of how discrimination was adressed in policy and had a very narrow legal/policy context. I never understood why it became such a fixture in progressive discourse as if is some kind of theoretical foundation for understanding society because I never saw it as being at all suited to that.

Bell Hooks is better than a lot of feminists regarding mens issues but you still won't find much enthusiasm for her in this subreddit since she still comes from the 'patriarchy hurts men too' angle, whereas this subreddit general does not approach things from a feminism/patriarchy angle and is generally fairly anti-feminist despite being otherwise left wing.

Yeah incel is 100% used because it makes people think of an obese virgin who can't get laid and has no career etc. They use the word incel to disguise that because they know using insults based on calling men fat virgins looks really hypocritical.

Always thought it was bizarre that crenshaws idea became some kind of basis for a broad theory. When I read it it was very clearly meant to be a specific legal argument about how discrimination is treated by courts and not some kind of all encompassing explanation for race/gender.

More that there are those who say women face gender specific issues and discrimination, and those who say women specifically (and only women) face society-wide gender oppression that advantages men exclusively. The second are the people mostly dominating activist and academic feminism.

It IS a central tenet of the kinds of feminism that almost exclusively dominate feminist activist groups and feminist academia. If you dispute that tenet people form those places will call you a 'liberal' feminist. And the movement won't get past that mentality. The activists with those views are misandrists. They aren't simply misled. They are interest groups which want to push policies that benefit women as much as possible, no matter whether those policies are fair or equitable or whether the…

It's because it's a feminist subreddit. The mods are mostly active feminists who engage with feminist theory The problem is that Feminism, as understood by politically active feminists, is specifically a theory which claims that women, and only women, are systemically oppressed by men, who are systemically advantaged. If you believe that there is any area where men face any sort of specific systemic discrimination or disadvantage that is not either: a) less bad than what women face b) a side eff…

Reallt well put - this is the absolute core of the issue. Feminism, as understood by politically active feminists, is not simply about criticising outdated or patriarchal gender roles.

If you believe that there is any area where men face any sort of specific systemic discrimination then you are not a feminist, because this is incompatible with the idea of socie…

Now people just point to the 2009 study even though there's actually also plenty of papers finding no difference, or even the opposite result depending on what the specific illness is. So there's no consistent evidence either way.

It benefits abusive women to have men constantly anxious about being better. It means the women can pressure their partners and yell at them and be overly demanding because they can just fall back on 'youre one of those shitty men not pulling his weight' and they have all this media backing them up.

Because there are a lot of bad actors within pop culture feminism who are basically looking for narratives to help excuse them being awful and/or abusive to their partners.

Want to see an absolutely wild example of bias so extreme it borders on academic dishonesty? Read Dobash and Dobash (2004). This study is by feminist sociologists and has more than a thousand citations. It claims women's violence to men is only in self defence. For their sample they used 120 couples, consisting of men who were convicted of domestic violence and their female partners/victims. They asked then each about their motives and found that the men reported abuse-related motives and the wo…

Yeah even if you agree that there are lots of harmful gender roles, many (or even most) affecting women and agree with feminist causes 90% - that still isn't feminist. Itw only feminism if you specifically believe that we live in a patriarchal society designed by men/ masculine peopl (and only them) that advantages them (and only them) and oppresses women and feminine people (and only them).

Yeah they say 'job title' is accounted for but not all jobs with the same title are the same. Everyone in my company at the same level has the same title yet the different teams are very different. Some require longer or odd hours and pay more despite being the same 'job'. If men are selecting into those riles because the place more value on raw income than on other perks or free time then it will create the appearance of a pay gap.

It's a similar case with domestic violence and relationship abuse in media. It's either a joke or they feel the need to 'balance' it by making it feel like the woman's abusive or manipulative behaviour was a response to the man being a bad person as well. I hated gone girl for this reason.

No there aren't equivalent services. In Victoria in Australia there is a specialist DV service for women and gay men. Male victims of female abusers specifically are directed towards the standard victims of crime helpline. There are also no equivalent lines helping abusive women change.

Also they are careful with the language. They will say 'men and boys can be victims' but then immediately pivot to men victimised by fathers or gay partners. They will avoid discussion of female-perpetrated abuse at all costs.

Its so dishoenst because almost all the arguments they use against Depp are actually complete misrepresentations or outright lies. They post cut and paste comments knowing no one has the energy to fact check them. Anyone who wants to know the truth should just listen to the 4 hours of audio where Amber just yells at, threatens, denigrates, exhausts, and humiliates Depp non-stop while he tries every possible way to defuse the situation and get her to talk about trying to stop the violence.

The problem is that it isn't simply a failure to Include men. For example feminist groups in my country have actively worked to write men out of domestic violence policies - which has directly affected me and other men I know. They are actively hostile to me because of my gender and that is a conscious part if their agenda/ideology. I see them the same way women see Andrew Tate.

Or my favourite - men leaving sick partners. It's based on one 2009 study and one 2015 study that got retracted.

I agree I would feel the same way. But at the same time feminist rhetoric would claim that this feeling/attitude, despite being quite widespread among men, doesn't actually exist and that men actually hate women. The expectation of self sacrifice remains pervasive and strong yet its existence is denied by mainstream feminist beliefs.

I actually don't think men are as disempowered emotionally as people commonly suggest. I think this is a bit of a negative stereotype that comes because men are more reserved and tend to interact with their friends differently. Certainly not in a way that makes men any less able to handle emotional labour.
/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates06/01/24 12:15 AM

Well for one thing the expectation to not show emotion is emotional labour itself. And needing to act this way in relationships does not necessarily mean that men are emotionally stunted in general. Lots of men do have emotionally close friendships etc. They are just negatively stereotyped as being emotionally shallow because they interact a bit differently. I think the interactions between men in the Lord of the Rings books really highlight this. Written by a conservative catholic man born in t…

This article is nothing but sexist stereotypes aiming to cater to women's sexism. 'Men remarry more' - men die significantly younger than women leaving older divorced women with fewer men their age to date/remarry.

There isn't one. There's a general lonliness epidemic that is a bit worse for men due to men finding it harder to make new friend groups. The idea of a specific male lonliness epidemic is a feminist idea that fits their 'toxic masculinity' claim and allows them to push this idea about men while seeming like they care about issues affecting men.

People are not isolated individuals.

Yeah you put this in to words well.

Partly because there's just so much pop culture pushing the idea that men are terrible that it's the only thing people think of.

Honestly this is part of the reason men under-report abuse. I know several men who have been victims of clearly abusive/predatory women and often the men will be straight up unwilling to acknowledge that she is an abusive person. Even when they recognise that they are being mistreated and leave the relationship they are still primarily sympathetic towards her. Women are much more able to straight up recognise abusive men as being predators/abusive.
