If they went easy on the true crime podcasts they would feel safer. But we need to take a step back this is an evolutionary psychology response women have. A heightened fear response as a survival mechanism for their comparatively weaker frames. Whereas men have a strong anger response to threat

Yea maybe but I know plenty of the women in my life have certainly felt negative pressure around their sexuality that made them internalise repression within the bedroom that I had to spend a lot of time working with them on to enjoy their sexuality. I think men experience this less often although I did once have a fairly religious friend who suffered from guilt issues. But socially you are right men’s sexuality is not acceptable to celebrated

It’s a complicated pictures. Female sexuality is celebrates among progressive circles but there are still loads of people who slut shame. But also true that most women actively hate men getting sexual pleasure online or with robots. I think one reason is it devalues their sexual currency which is a primary tool by which some women obtain status within society

These are all valid points. Maybe one way of phrasing this is as consumers we should be demanding of retailers for more choice and options and pointing out where it seems are gender has less choice. We should also vote with our feet as consumers and also create and develop the companies and services we want to see. Nothing is stopping any of us creating a male sex toy company

I was once violently assaulted by a group of men who were coked up and shoulder barged by ex-wife. She immediately turned around and shouted at them at which point they all went for me. I knew they were coked up and looking for a fight and also knew we were outnumbered. In that situation the best thing to do is literally take the loss and ignore the aggressive behaviour. Yet due to her actions I ended up in a 1 v 5 fight where I ended up hit over the head with a bottle, thinking I was going to d…

This is why there is a “pink tax” too as women are willing to pay more and there is a market for it. It doesn’t stop it feeling unfair to women, just as it feels unfair to not be able to buy clothes for your gender when you want to.

Absolutely but there is stuff we are each better at. I’m happy with the division of Labour. She buys me Clothes, remembers birthdays, organises our social life and does a load of great cooking. I also enjoy cooking do the laundry and do all the home maintenance. My point is the mental load of home maintenance is high as it’s complicated.

I keep saying the mental load of more traditionally male roles like home maintenance is a lot higher. You have to research what tools you needs, develop skill to use them and what materials or you have to juggle and manage tradespeople. Yes it’s a bit less frequent but in my head is an entire maintenance schedule for our old house. My wife who is lovely just has to say “oh so and so is broken” and it’s my mental load.

Plenty of men really enjoying being in the swinging lifestyle too. It’s a personal choice if you want to be in a closed relation or open one and men have the right to choose individually the type of relationship that works for them. Different men will be different and take different views but it’s all of our rights as a man to be able to live in the type of relationship we choose. Whether that’s heterosexual marriage. A gay relationship or a poly or swinging relationship.

I love women and I’m happily married. But yes like you I just believe in equality in the law. I do also think biologically women are more risk adverse and place less of a value on freedom.

I struggle with it too. I guess a lack of critical thinking and philosophical education. That coupled with the rise of identity politics thinking that judges people not on universal values but rather their power status (ironically) as determined by those in culturally powerful positions with clout.

The best argument is the maxim that laws should be based on the category of characteristic and the class of harm. For example murder is the class of harm and gender is the characteristic. Laws should not be based around particular attributes and classes because once you accept that premise it can be used to create discriminatory laws. Remove the argument from this particular law around women make the point once the legal system accepts the premise it can be used more widely for discrimination.

Just how chaotic and unprofessional the school was portrayed. Schools have emergency protocols, safeguarding and are a lot more on top of behaviour than was shown in the TV show. It left quite a few teachers and designated safeguarding leads feeling unfairly portrayed.

My hypothesis men are more tolerant of speech and talk as we feel less threatened by it because we are physically stronger. Just an idea not saying it’s proven
/r/MensRights12/11/25 09:09 AM

This is because women are just more expert then men at controlling social narratives and speech and using it for their own ends. On average their brains are bigger when it comes to language and social interaction. A woman would destroy your reputation and ostracise you. Using gossip, slander and manipulation. So excluding people they don’t want to speak using justifications or ideologies that give them that power is just hugely attractive. .
/r/MensRights12/11/25 09:00 AM
10

I suspect what it is that women have more of their brains dedicated to language. Women fight with manipulation and speech. So when it comes to social competition tactics such as ostracism are core dark female traits. Men therefore probably have less of a flight or fight response to words and language. To put it bluntly we are used to being talked poorly off and we don’t care as we have the physical strength and ability to tolerate it.

My wife is a teacher and she was furious at how badly teachers were portrayed in that show. There is no way they would be just playing videos and shows so much.

What hasn’t been discussed is the boy was into art but had a dad who kept taking him to sport and then although loved him couldn’t bear to watch him fail in goal at football.

Part of the reason is people have pushed those policies within the parties. If people who cared about men’s rights joined political parties and formed men’s rights groups and pushed for policies that were favourable to men within those parties they would change.

Agree, but also Greens and Lib Dem’s do actually have a democratic method where a group of men could join. Setup a men’s right group within the party and democratically propose policy within the party to be voted on by members. Neither Reform, Conservative or Labour have any democratic method to propose policy within. This is what the TERF feminists have done to push their gender critical stuff within parties.

Here is a slightly different take. It’s because too many men don’t care about the issues other men face.

It arises from the Gama bias which you can read about here https://www.bps.org.uk/psychologist/gamma-bias-new-theory There is a lack of empathy for male victims as society struggles to see men as victims. For the same reason men don’t want to talk about being victims. So they avoid seeking support and help. This has consequences such as lack of victim support and empathy - for example people might care more about a homeless women then a homeless man. A press story that might focus more on female…

“Men aren’t afraid to go out at night” Largely this is kinda true because from an evolutionary perspective we are more likely to have a fight response to threat and get angry rather than scared in a threatening situation. That isn’t always true though and absolutely men can be scared too. However men are not socially allowed to show fear and don’t try sympathy for doing so - so we have to hide our fear and show bravery. Fear is a privilege that women get to express.

I don’t think it’s the case that women cheat with their feelings. Women have just as strong sexual urges as men and crave novelty just as much.

Today I was on Tik Tok saw a video from a feminist propaganda account. Literally had a slide that said “Ban male podcasts”. Women scream about men trying to control them but then advocate for censorship of male voices. Are there any sane people left who don’t want a constant division and war between the sexes? Also make hate gets such a light touch when it comes to moderation.

I’m not sure on the one hand is it training people to react violently towards being made angry. On the other hand is it letting off steam? There are lots of existing ways to let off steam and aggression though - weights, cardio, boxing or other contact sports. I think this concept unsettles men as from birth we are taught about the need to control our anger and physical responses. If men didn’t keep a strong control over anger responses we would soon end up in jail.

One example of female privilege is you get treated as the natural parent and don’t get viewed with suspicion or distrust or being a predator due to your agenda. You also experience a more friendly world as other women don’t see you as a threat to be avoided, and many men (especially if you are attractive) will try and be nice to you.

I think the odd thing is she has zero sense that what she did was even wrong. I guess she had such a privileged sense of her self and what she could or couldn’t do in public that she didn’t even consider it a sexual offence. To most men this is an alien concept as we are told our sexual desires are perverted and would consider touching ourselves in public a perverted act that would see us prosecuted as a sex offender.

I heard someone say recently that ‘responsibility’ is like Kryptonite for women. I guess it’s a generalisation because there are women who do take responsibility. That said the idea that women are passive and things are never their fault is something deployed manipulatively to avoid accountability and responsibility. The idea that society is something done to women rather than something they helped to create very much fits into this. The Patriarchy is a perfect tool for being the victim. Meanwhi…

That’s right it’s a minister for women and equalities so the entire equalities agenda is therefore tipped in the balance of women.

Personally I’ve done TV and Radio interviews on political issues and you don’t normally get offered a fee. Apparently they will sometimes if you ask for one. I’d say the gender pay gap is generally decreasing and for part-time pay (in the U.K.) women are now being paid more per hour then men. The gender pay gap is now only occurring due to women taking …

I feel sorry for uncircumcised US brothers. Here in the U.K. it’s normal for men to be uncircumcised unless they are religious. I’ve never had a women mention it or complain. It really isn’t an issue. It’s entirely a cultural issue and it’s just wrong.

This is bad - the UK Government is increasingly flexing its might over speech on social media.

There will always be some people who say they are happier doing x or y. People are all different. On average though most people are happier with a long term life partner and most women will want to settle down. When it comes to picking a long-term partner women look for different things than they do a fling in their 20s. Also men’s attractiveness peaks as they get older and women’s just declines past their age. So take some comfort guys in your 20s, things get better.

The lack of contact with a child is likely to trigger fathers into more extreme behavioural responses. Be that suicide and self-harm or lashing out and causing harm to others.

It’s odd as it presents both misandry and misogyny as in competition as to what is worst. All forms of hate and discrimination are bad - there isn’t a higherarchy.

I’ve experienced a highly abusive ex-wife who used words and language and emotion to control and I’ve experienced being hit on the head by a man with a bottle in a random street attack at night.

Men have a great capacity to care and nurture. I believe society would be a much better place if more opportunities to develop this caring side were provided. That might look like Equal paternity rights for men as women have. Schemes to encourage men into caring professions like nursing, early years education and psychology. Equality in family courts Removing gender bias with children toys so boys and girls can play with what the like

I think what exists is a minority of very power hungry men at the top of the pyramid that subjugate other men and also women. From the outside this might seem like men are in control as the majority of those at the top are men. However their rules aren’t to benefit all men at the disadvantage of women. They are there to advance their own power at the disadvantage of the majority of men and women. So being a top man might be great but your average man likely has it much worst working the most phy…

I don’t think that will happen though. I thought perhaps the equalities act would prevent MPs or Peers introducing things into statue that discriminated against sex. However I’ve looked at the violence against women and girls amendments to the Online Safety Bill and can only conclude from that they are now happy to discriminate in law. It would require someone brining a judicial review and legal challenge to get Misandry listed as a hate crime alongside Misogyny. In practice one Conservative bac…

Yea pretty much - these people have obviously never observed how psychological cruel girls can be growing up. Women are equally capable of causing harm. They might not use physical violence but some women will destroy someone’s reputation or inflict psychological harm on their rivals and enemies. Toxic behaviour exists equally among both sexes IMHO and gender blame is a barrier to getting to the root causes of these behavioural problems.

Imagine the cognitive discord when you have been indoctrinated into thinking that it’s masculinity is toxic, only to start a same sex relationship and discover that women are also just as capable of toxicity. It’s a shame that rather than concluding people are toxic and men have been unfairly maligned as a gender, they choose to just apply toxic masculinity as a concept to a minority of women.

I actually think the UKs equality act is pretty good on this stuff.

Interesting so within that study period there were more male excessive deaths but on specifically heat more women were affected. That is noteworthy. Whether it’s the case that men are dying if other causes earlier and therefore there are fewer sick men with underlying health conditions to then fall foul to the heatwave? Or perhaps there is some preventable measure such as the lack of toilets that is cited and it’s impact on fluid intake levels.

The idea that all men’s mental health problems stem from our inability to talk rather than systematic disadvantage in things like the family courts is a personal bug bear if mine.

It’s because of female sexual selection.

There is an element of ‘victim blaming’ the idea that if men just talked our mental health would be fine. Andy’s Man Club is a fine organisation but it does kind of have that same myth of if we just talk it will all be fine. A lot of the mental health issues men face are the result of how the family courts treat them after divorce or the financial hardship of trying to rent somewhere big enough to have the kids stay while paying child maintenance, or being victim of a false accusation or being w…

Not sure just tried to search for an article https://www.bustle.com/p/8-rights-privileges-men-have-that-women-dont-according-to-reddit-70448 The going topless as others have mentioned seems one. Things like “not being fearful going out at night”. I mean men are more likely to get attacked and beaten up. Men might not vocalise that fear or try to ignore it but then men are taught to hide and not show fear whereas women vocalise it for sympathy/ power.

I think the biggest problem is the loss of universal rights - instead we talk about the rights of groups and their attention and privilege all depends on politics.

The lack of men in caring professions is a big issue. If men are treated like predators then we get fewer opportunities to develop our caring and nurturing side. Being caring and nurturing and a good dad is an important part of the human experience and many men are excluded from it. At my sons schools I get routinely ignored and excluded from activities due to the female dominance of the space. People just don’t talk to me or treat me the same way.

I think we have to be a little bit wary of lumping all feminism into a single view point.

Men and women face different forms of inequality. Also men and women can both be in situations where they face misandry or misogyny.

It’s really cultural too. In some cultures eye contact and stares and smiles is more common. In others it’s very much frowned upon. A worry I have is by saying ‘staring is a criminal offence’ you start to trigger every women who gets gazed at a little too long to shout ‘sexual harassment’ and run to the police. When often it will be ‘guy with slightly awkward social skills’ whose trying to be friendly.

I see what you are saying - both you and I would likely avoid a charge like that. We both probably have the emotional intelligence to be subtle enough and appropriate with eye contact and gaze when possibly understanding if a women is open to a conversation or sexual advance. The issue is how open something like non physical like eye contact is to interpretation. Someone with a low emotional intelligence or even a learning disability is going to be much more likely to be the victim of a false al…

The article is even worst - it says ‘leering’ and ‘persistent’ staring. At least a cat call isn’t open to miss interpretation so easily - like you can’t accidentally cat call someone and it’s pretty BM. Whereas persistent starring - does that mean trying to catch the eye of someone you fancy to start up a conversation? It’s so subjective. Once the idea that a man starring is sexual harassment then more women will interpret any male gaze as harassment.

Not just speech but ‘leering and intrusive staring’ so you won’t be able to look at someone.

Yea I think my issue is with framing male victims as victims of crimes that affect women. Rather than being victims in their own right.

We should talk about male violence but also we need to frame this that we are the biggest victims.

Problem is if men are expected to do something to signal they are not a threat then women will become hyper-alert to look for that signal. It will lead to more fear not less.
