Men are great, in many aspects that women can never be Okay, that legit sounds pretty misogynistic. The hell kind of aspects are you thinking of? Okay maybe upper-body strength, I suppose. But I still wouldn't trade womanhood for the world. I admit I may be biased as a trans woman, but I also greatly admire men as well (anyone who genuinely enjoys manhood and makes it work has my eternal respect). Differences in physical strength aside, men, women, and whoever the hell else can excel at the same…

Speaking of "crazy" women, okay the topic is a bit weird given that, uh, I kinda am one. I thought of a tangentially related quip a while back: Trans people aren't just a bunch of mentally ill perverts! I mean, personally I am also a mentally ill pervert, but that's beside the point.

Again, it doesn't help that the broader cultural narrative of "give him a chance, don't be shallow" means that women often feel like they have to frame their personal preferences as universal standards that women NEED men to live up to, and to frame not meeting those standards as an objective red flag indicating that a man is letting women down. (Which ironically comes off as SHALLOWER than just saying "this is what I personally want from a man," but there you go.)

I have also seen the sentiment that if a man calls a abusive ex or any harmful woman crazy, than that must me HE is the real abusive crazy one and is simply lying, she never did anything, it’s him. Part of the problem seems to be that, in popular parlance, calling a woman "crazy" can cover a wide range of behavior from "genuine abuse" to "won't put up with my bullshit." Not unlike how calling a man "creepy" can cover a wide range of behavior from "habitual sex predator" to "autistic and/or GNC"

both men and women may believe that most men are predators, if not the vast majority Yeah, that assumption drives a lot of the "boys will be boys" phenomenon (hey, if guys are just like that, what can you do?) AND a lot of homophobia among men (who often rationalize violence against men they assume to be gay with the assumption that gay men are wired to treat men and boys the way straight men are supposedly wired to treat women and girls)

Good point. Also this may be random, but back to Barbie, my hot take is that if they wanted to illustrate to men the shit that women have gone through, a better media property to reinterpret for the silver screen would've been Sweeney Todd, specifically a genderbent production set either in the present or in an alternate matriarchal version of Victorian London. Just leave in "Johanna (Mea Culpa)"—you know, the number that a lot of productions leave out because it's too disturbing—change it to Jo…

It has never been a POC movement. Womanism? Xicanisma/Mujerismo? Pretty sure those movements both started among women of color who felt their concerns weren't taken seriously either by white feminists OR by men of their own ethnicity.

The flaws of Male Advocacy can be serious. Misogynistic comments made by MRAs should be taken seriously and these flaws should be fixed. Agreed! As a trans woman who's supportive of both men's issues and women's issues, I tend to distinguish thoughtful, effective men's advocacy from misogynistic con artistry in the same way that I distinguish thoughtful, effective feminism* from radfem bullshit and petty, toothless pop-feminism. \ Before this sub asks: Yes Virginia, there is thoughtful, effectiv…

Which is another reason that, largely out of spite against a certain bestselling British author of children's fantasy, I want to write a story similar to the love potion plotline in Half-Blood Prince, except with not!Hermione calling out not!Romilda for the attempted date rape ("from now on you stay the FUCK away from my friends, understand?"), then comforting not!Ron ("there there, I won't let her hurt you again").

Agreed! This is incidentally why I'd be totally down for cosmetics to go mainstream among men again. Okay, makeup shouldn't be expected of anyone the way it's often expected of women in our current society, but it shouldn't be considered abnormal for men either. Basically, if makeup was good enough for Pharaonic Egyptian and Baroque European men, it's good enough for modern men!

Men need to understand that their validity doesn't depend on their relationship status or girlfriends.

Women can be competitive with each other in ways not involving men too and be mean to each other. Mean Girls taught us that. Sisterhood is definitely way stronger than brotherhood at any rate though by far.

I think I read recently that in the UK the amount of reported female on male pedophilia has tripled in the last 10 years.

I think the underlying logic is less "being killed is better for the victim than being raped" (obviously false—you can come back from trauma but not from death), more "killing someone doesn't always reflect as badly on the perpetrator as raping someone" (you might kill someone out of self-defense, but raping someone is inherently malicious or at least selfish)

Basically, before realizing I'm trans I found myself drawn to women, especially queer women. But I always longed to be accepted as one of them, and it stung a bit because even those who were most at ease around me didn't fully include me in the casual intimacy that women tend to share with each other.

I brought that this sentiment isn’t gender exclusive and that women simply just aren’t willing to take the risk even though they agree typically with these actions (not all of course). As a result, the men end up doing it.

Thanks for asking! And yeah people, including strangers, seem a lot friendlier toward me when I present as fem. Which is part of why, even though I can function in guymode for a day or two (I work from home, so sometimes I'll go a couple days without shaving or makeup if all I have to do is work and maybe shopping), any longer than that drives me up the fucking wall.

And women's toxic reactions to harmless men.
