Having just come out of a relationship where I felt like this, and experiencing the contrast with being happily alone, I couldn't agree more. If you are alone, it is easy enough to accept it and try to make the best of it. But feeling alone in a relationship is a recipe for being upset and experiencing conflict because that isn't how one is meant to feel in a relationship.

Results from an Australian survey of 1907 men who had been to therapy (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34041980/: "...The overall dropout rate from therapy was 44.8% (n = 855), of which 26.6% (n = 120) accessed therapy once and did not return. The most common reasons for dropout were lack of connection with the therapist (54.9%) and the sense that therapy lacked progress (20.2%). Younger age, unemployment, self-reported identification with traditional masculinity, the presence of specific therap…

Point is that a male gimp is funny, pathetic, sub-human. Replace him with a woman and it would be beyond words. The movie would have been cancelled. The main theme is how society values men and women.

I am sorry you experienced this. Some people's business model is exploiting others for personal gain. I'm guessing you interacted with a guy pretending to be a girl. Doesn't ultimately matter. I think the message is be careful and take care of yourself.

I am sorry you went through this. One issue that's relevant here is the lowering of criteria for defining sexual harassment. Specifically, the idea that someone looking at you in a way that you perceive is problematic, filtered through your biases, is basically the equivalent of being groped. But it's not. I can't imagine having to be you and force yourself not to look - oh no, what if you are walking down the street and there she randomly is - lest you be punished for sexual harassment.

Mike Tyson said, everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth. If we accept your premise that women subconsciously desire domination by masculine men - the romance novels all feature this theme - it's also the case that they wouldn't hesitate to denigrate and attempt to ruin such men were they to approach them. The romance books show Fabio-type men seducing women. In reality, modern women would reject and report such men. Fabio would be portrayed as a predator on Are we dating the sam…

I get it, bro. I recently left a woman because I wasn't getting enough back, and she told me she had essentially left me a long time ago but just hadn't told me. And was happy to pretend otherwise and be the recipient of my generosity in the meantime. The smiles I saw were fake. I admit it - I'm not equipped to deal with that.

My experience, for what it's worth: women are strategic. They might secretly be planning on leaving you but will act normal to your face, leaving you blindsided when they go. In marriage, if a woman is college educated, she initiates divorce 90% of the time. I don't think most men are cut out to deal with women. We don't tend to play games and don't approach relationships like a chess match. If we have an issue, we talk about it. Women bide their time and see what better opportunities present th…

Bro...I am sorry. Men need their dads. I lost mine years ago and I think about him everybday. Your experience reminds me how my ex-wife was quite sexual and affectionate prior to getting married, then largely stopped after we married...and once we had a child, forget it. Pure strategy on her part though she would never acknowledge it.

Thank you for this thoughtful post. As a middle-age divorced man, it describes my experience so well. The first link you posted was mind-blowingly spot on.

To add to what's been said: 1. Mandatory paternity tests for every newborn. 2. Eliminate the ability of universities to quasi-police criminal issues like sexual assault in an environment in which the presumption of innocence doesnt apply. That is for the police. No more title 9 kangaroo courts. 3. Aggressive criminalisation and prosecution of false accusations, with the sentence proportional to the sentence of the falsely accused crime.

When I was in 8th grade, a group of the most pretty, popular girls chose one of them and she pretended to be interested in a boy they targeted because he was unpopular and awkward. She strung him along for a while. I remember watching in horror but not being able/willing to say anything. They delighted as a group in watching him being emotionally manipulated, thinking he had a chance with a cute girl, and they cackled and congratulated themselves when they revealed the ruse and broke his heart. …

Spot on. In other words, girls are not taught to have empathy for boys, and are socialised to view what they bring to a relationship with a man as simply existing as opposed to what they give. We need to clearly understand this is a Western culture feminist thing - women in other cultures have a totally different mindset.

Years ago, I read a book by Michael Moore who argued the Democrats should run the following candidate to defeat George W. Bush: Oprah. He actually said this. As if simply being a popular woman qualified one for president. I was much younger at the time and thought, why not, we might win with her. But older and wiser now, what an idiotic idea. Merit matters more than identity as a non-white-male.

I work in this field. I often encounter women labelling men as narcissists who need a "men's behavior change" program when they are in conflict with their wife, in cases where the wife is aggressive and hostile and the man works hard to provide for his family and comes home to a thankless wife who berates him constantly. This really pisses me off. And I'm talking about PhD-level profesors doing this while supervising students in training. Men need to be very careful who they choose as their ther…

Truly great therapy can be life-changing. But most therapists aren't great ir even good. Most do "talking therapy." What works, especially for men, is "doing therapy." Active, practical, behavioral. Like, as if the therapist were a personal trainer. Less than 20% of therapists are men and the field has been totally feminized.

Great points. And now Western societies import large numbers of immigrants from societies that focus on women making babies and men generating wealth. And their influence is being felt strongly. Defenders of Western society are becoming apoplectic and this incursion without any notice to the ideology that had undermined their own culture and paved the way for this to happen.

I am so sorry for younger men. I grew up in the 1980s. Nobody talked about this shit. I don't recall a single instance of exposure to any of these ideas. I was never once made to feel bad about being male. Never once made to feel that women were oppressed and men were oppressors. Went to college in the 1990s. Still nothing. Not until grad school in the mid-late 1990s did I start to see it.

The takeover of society by feminist women and the male politicians beholden to them has been, to my eyes, a disaster. DEI, wokeness on steroids, disregarding merit, denigrating men and privileging women at all costs. I used to believe what Obama did. Until the last decade showed me what happens when women take over society without being balanced by men. I live in Australia, FYI.

For what it's worth, I once dated a woman of Japanese descent and she didn't have an angry bone in her body. She was just lovely. Feminine. That relationship ended when my previous ex, a white Australian, got jealous and threatened to call the cops and make a false allegation. My point is that the angry woman issue probably has a cultural element to it.

I wonder if this extends more broadly to other forms of harm like harassment, bullying, kidnapping, domestic violence, etc.? I bet it does.

A woman I know got drunk with friends, came home to find a male friend drunk and passed out, took his clothes off and had sex with him while he was unconscious. He has a girlfriend. He was angry in the morning when he woke up and learned what happened. Everyone laughed it off. Reverse the genders and he would be in prison for rape. She raped him.

Men suffering is the point, isn't it? I think you're right - literally any other group in society would receive empathy and support. Society cares less about men than anyone else. What I think is new is that men now realize this and are refusing to accept it, hence lower military enrolment.

What's also in the stats but you can be sure will be ignored by the media is that indigenous people are more than 10 times more likely than non-indigenous people to be murderers, the difference is higher in women than men, and they account for more than 30% of murderers despite being 3% of the population. Also ignored is that mothers are 4 times more likely to kill their children than men. Can't let the truth get in the way of a good woke feminist narrative.

Want your mind blown? Look at this proposal to basically use modern-day telescreens like Amazon's Alexa to monitor and report DV against women: https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.abc.net.au/article/103242716. This is absolutely 1984 level and the scientists proposing it are too biased to understand how horrifying their idea is. As always, reverse the genders: imagine using Alexa to detect and report women verbally abusing their man. Women would spontaneously combust with rage at such an injustice.

Anecdotally, my experience is that this more true for younger men. Middle-aged men who grew up in a different era seem more likely to roll their eyes at this nonsense. But we are still afraid to speak out in this environment.

Be prepared for the eSafety Commissioner to censor posts like this as "hate speech" against women. I live here and believe it's only a matter of time.

Great points. It's sad how easy it is for society to remain ignorant of those things when the emphasis is on identity politics, gender quotas, and so on.

The media should be all over this - another case of "gendered violence." But as well all know, "gendered violence" only counts when a man does it to a woman.

If this happened in the US, there would be a massive backlash. Australians are different. They tend to be acquiescent to authority. There will be no meaningful societal backlash.
