Get off social media as much as possible. Find good people who understand and keep them close. Work on being the best person you can to the people you love. Don't waste a second of your energy on people that don't deserve it.

do you believe the male variability hypothesis is correct? It seems to me that evolutionarily it would make sense for nature to "experiment" more with the traits of men.

But having a different retirement age for each sex would just be treating the symptom of the inequality rather than the cause. Let's give everyone the same retirement age and work on breaking down the gender roles that force men into positions where they are likely to die young. It's just like the wage gap. Women earn less because of societal pressures and social norms. The way to treat that is by getting rid of the gender roles that cause it, not by paying women more.

This stuff is pervasive outside of STEM fields. I'm doing a masters in Chemistry so I avoid most of it (it's hard to squeeze feminist talking points into a discussion about statistical thermodynamics), but I still get bombarded by "encouraging women in STEM" emails. That's despite well over half of my cohort already being female. I know lots of people that do humanities degrees and honestly it seems like they're just gender studies in disguise. I know people in Philosophy, in Sociology, in Psych…

Spitting facts as usual. Since you wanted feedback: I like a lot of your content that is facts-based, and I have shared a lot of it in the past. However, posts like this I avoid sharing. Not because I disagree, but because of how it would make me look. Slide 6 especially. I know if I shared this I would come off as whiney, as a troll, or immediately be lumped in as a reactionary anti-sjw type. There is so much real, tangible evidence that men are boys are disadvantaged, and I think your effort w…

Body shaming aside, I don't see why this tweet situation has got so much attention. Someone made an immature comment to someone else, and they made an immature comment back. The whole thing is literally primary school humour. "I have more toys than you!" "Oh yeah? Well you're ugly"

In developing countries, the genuine inequalities faced by women give more legitimacy to feminism, which has kind of "fast-tracked" fourth wave feminism.

It's interesting, though, that a lot of the time it's rigid expectations of men's masculinity that drive this power dynamic. Let me explain. When a woman wants a task done, a man will step up to do it. But it's usually not because he actually wants to, or because he thinks the woman deserves to not have to do any work. It's because he will be perceived as weak and unmanly if he doesn't volunteer. To fulfill the masculine role, he has to.

People underestimate just how much informal power women have. Women's wishes, even if expressed in casual conversation, have a huge weight in decision making. Not just in high-up positions of power, either. It's literally a common trope that a man has to "keep his wife happy". Also in family gatherings, or large groups of friends. What the women want has far more weight than what the men want. I realise I'm talking about social power here, but as you said, it even applies to official power.

I like to think of it like this: both men and women have the social power to decide what happens in society. Women maybe have slightly more. But men are the ones who actually carry out the actions. It looks like men are the ones doing everything, but we don't see the silent network of both men and women behind them influencing their decisions.

I've always said the concept of emotional labour is a painfully capitalist mindset. It's reducing your relationship to a transaction. "Why should I listen to your problems if I get nothing in return?" If someone decides to open up to you, I see it is a good thing. It's good that they trust you enough to tell you their struggles. It strengthens your relationship and helps you both understand each other better. Literally what is the point of having friends and partners if you can't be emotionally …

They say "just go to therapy!" as if that's something you can just do. The majority of men I know, including myself, wouldn't know where to start on finding a therapist, don't have enough money to pay for one, and don't believe telling their deepest secrets to a stranger will help them.

Society just doesn't get men's perspectives. They assume men think exactly the same as women do, but just in a more stupid and brutish way. This is related to the common theme that men are just defective women. Feminism actively leads women to think of men as this vague, distant entity, rather than as individuals with the same depth of feelings as them. This leads some women to never think about men's perspectives. It's not that they ignore men's perspectives - it literally never crosses their m…

The very existence of trans people is a threat to feminism's idea that men are naturally evil. It's why they hate TERFs so much. TERFs are the logical extension of feminist principles and they don't like the mirror being held up to them like that.

Do you know a youtuber called philosophy tube? She's a trans woman that spoke about male entitlement in one of her videos. She said, she was sat on a bench and a man came and set next to her and tried to start a conversation with her. And she went off about how men felt entitled to her time and felt like they had a right to interrupt her. Which is ridiculous, obviously.

This is a bit of a sweeping generalisation, but there's some truth to it - most women have never had to deal with rejection, so when it finally happens to them some of them can't cope. I've rejected a few women in my time, and not a single one of them has taken it gracefully.

A man who turns down sex from women is always seen as gay. Bisexual and Asexual men are forgotten. Or maybe he is into women but not that particular woman. People sometimes forget that men have standards too and aren't always horny.

If your goal is just to get superficial hookups, then PUA works. I hate it, but it works. If sex is your goal then it really is just a numbers game. If you're looking for actual romantic connections, treating it like a game is not healthy and won't work long term.

The thing is, I don't think the lads are seriously homophobic - obviously they're superficially homophobic, but I don't think deep down they are genuinely unaccepting of him.

Have you ever asked a feminist why they think it's okay to spread hate towards men? Their answers are very telling. Either they say something like "well men say the same about us so it's fine", or they admit they're doing it as some kind of revenge for the slights of history. Either way they're admitting to just fighting hate with more hate. If you ask them what they achieve by being hateful, as in, "How does saying all men are trash further your cause?

Let's include the condition that the teleportation will be a point on land with no immediate risk of death. Even if you teleport into the middle of a desert or something, you could just tough it out for ~24 hours until the next teleport.

This is a great point. I went to an all-male secondary school, and there were fights every day. Almost always over football. They would always be friends again by the end of the day. There was no bullying and everyone was generally friends with each other. My sister went to an all-female school. There was no physical violence, but the stories that came out of that school were insane. Friend groups would break up daily, there was constant backstabbing and bitching, and WAY more tribalist hierarch…

They say it exists to get women away from men hitting on them all night. Which I can kinda understand. However not one person stopped to consider WHY men have to hit on women like they do?

We're really good at having fun. Get a group of guys together and they can have the time of their lives doing stupid stuff. We can pass hours discussing dumb scenarios or hypotheticals. Here's one for you: Would you rather teleport to a random point on Earth once per day, at a random time during that day, or never be able to leave a 100m radius around your current address ever again?

I mean, there's a good explanation for this. They think 'feminist' is an an objective label. To them, if you believe in equality you are a feminist *by definition*. Under that misguided view, of course they're going to believe anyone who goes too far is suddenly not a feminist. I think the majority of them (the low-level, casually involved online feminist who is only an activist in passing when a post comes across their instagram feed) genuinely think they're fighting for the right thing.

Every single person I've told about my experiences in real life has not taken it seriously or has laughed about it. Here's one incident: There was a party at my house. This girl who I didn't like but my friend invited kept trying to pull me away from my friends, would continuously grab my ass, and was "playfully" kicking me. I was uncomfortable and after a while I looked her in the eyes and directly told her "no". She just smirked and carried on. Lots of people witnessed this and did nothing. La…

Unfortunately a lot of women have had experiences with being catcalled, harrassed and sexually assaulted. So if you ask them to relate to their real life experiences, they can pull these out and conclude men = bad. What you CAN do it is point out that all men have also experienced that stuff. It's not exclusive to women - everyone who lives in society is going to come across bad people at some point. Every single man I know has been sexually assaulted by a woman at one point (even if a lot of th…

I think about this a lot. For some of feminism's talking points, the logical conclusion is just straight up racism. For example: It's commonly said that women are made to feel unsafe by men they don't know. They don't know if he's a good guy, so they have to assume he isn't. Notice that the UNFAMILIARITY of the man is what makes him dangerous, because if it was someone she knew she wouldn't be scared of him. Being unfamiliar means you are less predictable and therefore more of a potential threat…

I am doing a Master's degree in Chemistry. One of the most STEM of the supposedly male dominated STEM subjects. Yet well over half the group are female. I still regularly receive emails offering seminars about "encouraging girls into chemistry". They have already been encouraged into Chemistry. If you look at a course like psychology or sociology, the gender gap is laughable. You will struggle to find a single male in the room, at least at my university.

Yeah, that could work. Any situation in which both sexes initiate at equal rates would be fine. Although of course it would be better if we could meet in the middle somewhere. I understand why women feel so strongly about unwanted attention, by the way.

That's not what I said and you know it. Creepy men are obviously to blame for their own actions, but you can't ignore the societal dynamics that influence their behaviour. The stereotypical creepy old man who makes inappropriate comments is a product of a society in which, for his whole life, he has been the one who has had to initiate all interactions with women. If he does not make the first move on a woman, he will be completely invisible. Therefore he has nothing to lose by hitting on women.…

Women initiating more would fix more than just this. It would reduce the number of creeps, it would reduce the unwanted attention women get, it would reduce the number of bitter men who resent the fact that the women they date have a far easier ride than them, and many more things. The only way men could fix this themselves would be by self-improvement, i.e. every man has to hit the gym, be charismatic, have a good job and be successful, just to be the baseline level of desirable.

I think part of the reason is that it's really hard for a man to assimilate socially into a female-dominated work environment. If anyone here has ever found themselves in a social situation with only women, you'll know what I mean.

This reminds me of an article I saw recently - A couple, man and woman, were arrested for kidnapping in India.

Women were always the ones who had the choice, and men had to compete for women. This was fine when the pool of potential dates was very small. But now, the size of the market has increased. Men are no longer competing within their social groups, they're competing with their entire city or even the entire world. The social dynamic is the same, it's just been amplified to the point of ridiculousness. In my opinion that's the only thing that's changed. It's kind of like how house prices in world c…

Trans people are a threat to feminism, since they expose some uncomfortable logical conclusions of feminist rhetoric.

I think it's because they like the idea of having a vulnerable boyfriend, but when faced with the reality of it they realise they don't actually want one. In a way it's like those teenage boys that want a mentally ill girlfriend so they can "fix" her.

Yeah. Men who have had lots of sex with women have proven themselves to be "worthy". In a woman's eyes he's basically been pre-screened as a desirable man by other women, therefore making him more attractive. Women who have had sex with lots of men likely had to do very little to get that sex, so it doesn't tell you anything about her sexual "value". To be clear I believe this is why the original "men are studs, women are sluts" thing arose, but I don't believe it's a healthy way of looking at t…

The repopulation argument is pure feminist mental gymnastics. The whole point is that men can impregnate multiple women, and therefore a group with few men and many women can repopulate faster than the other way around, right? This makes so sense, because women are still going to want monogamous relationships. If a women's husband dies at war, she's not going to let herself get immediately knocked up by a random guy. She's going to look for a steady relationship before having a child. Therefore,…

I've brought up this statistic with people before and the response is always "well that's less than half so women still have it worse".

This pretty much confirms what I thought. You're bascially saying women don't see it as divulging private information, they see it as simply talking about life. I suppose women just draw the line of what is too private to talk about much higher than men do. I don't think your opinion is any less valid than mine. There's no "correct" amount of private information that you're allowed to tell your friends. However, I do wish women would draw that line a bit lower.

People often say "historically women were oppressed because they were forced to stay at home and raise kids", as if getting to spend every day at home with your family is somehow a worse deal than having to go out and do manual labour every day.

You can keep getting angry and imagining women ghost because they're all fundamentally immoral and heartless, but the reality is as above. You've got the wrong idea.

Men aren't stupid. They know being ghosted is the same as being rejected. So any man that acts violent over a rejection will also act violent over being ghosted.

I agree completely. They don't think of the men they ghost as humans with real feelings. That makes it really easy to push it out of your mind and ignore the fact that you're behaving immaturely.

"safety" is just an excuse to not have to take responsibility for their actions.

This reminds me of a news story about a man who had the police called on him by a woman because he was alone in public with his own child, and then he went on the news and said he understands why she did it because there are a lot of paedos out there and it's good to be alert...

I had an argument about reproductive rights with my sister and she said "if men had no consequences for getting someone pregnant they would be more reckless". As if taking rights away from men, potentially conscripting them for 18 years of child support against their will, is worth it to stop a handful of men who would be "reckless"? Not to mention women already have the legal and social right to get out of an unwanted pregnancy with no consequences, but do you think women use that power "reckle…

I'm not a fan of "by women to other women". Like all things, slut shaming is upheld by all of society. Plus the fact that the gender of the person doing the shaming has no relevance to its effect on the victim. You kinda sound like the people who say "by other men" when we talk about men disproportionately being victims of violence.
/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates24/03/22 09:01 AM

On a similar note, notice how slut shaming is now exclusively aimed at men. Women (well, young women) are encouraged to have their "hoe phase" or have sex with whoever they want. Now this is fantastic, but men who do the same are considered dirty, sleazy, or as having low standards. "Player" and "stud" are no longer positive descriptors for men.

Not at all. Notice I wrote that it's disgusting. Sending unsolicited dick pics demonstrates a huge lack of respect for the recipient.

As to your second question, I think some men send unwanted dick pics simply as a way to get attention. They are so ignored and desexualised by society, that the thought of a women seeing them sexually, even if it's in a negative way and mixed with disgust, is appealing to them. ANY response, even a negative one, is better than being invisible. I think sending unwanted dick pics is disgusting and rude, and you should never do it, but I understand the mindset behind it.

I think sending unwanted dick pics is disgusting, of course, but it absolutely doesn't warrant jail time. It's literally just a photo of genitals on a phone screen. Everyone's seen genitals before. Even if they find it disgusting, there is no physical threat to the recipient in any way. It sounds ridiculous to even suggest taking away two years of someone's freedom because they caused a photo to appear on someone's phone.

I don't think it's fair to say they're a little bit misandrist just for not speaking up. If you tried to call out every injustice you came across, you would never get anything done. However it would definitely be easier to bring about change if they did speak up once in a while.

Exactly, I've tried to get this across to people before and they always miss the point entirely. If the man she's dealing with is mad that she rejected him, he's going to be even MORE mad if he's been rejected AND had his feelings disrespected. But all that aside, how is he going to hurt her through a phone? If he starts being abusive, she can just block him. Or if he's dangerous and he knows where she lives, all bets are off, just leave it to the police at that point.

I feel exactly the same. The experience as a slightly bisexual man on tinder is an absolute breeze compared to the shit you have to deal with if you're looking for women.

I disagree. The vast majority of women in real life are perfectly reasonable people. The internet just amplifies the worst of them. That said, I think the normalisation of awful, toxic behaviour on social media is at risk of bleeding out into real life, considering the huge influence things like tiktok have on society these days. For example, I saw a tiktok today saying that ghosting people is bad, and that you should at least send a message saying you're not interested. Seems pretty uncontrover…

The whole "x in 10 women experience [bad thing]" always really annoys me. Because in order to get the x value up that high, the definition of [bad thing] has to be so vague that it applies to almost all men as well. For example, I often see people saying things like "every woman has experienced unwanted sexual attention". Like yeah, I don't doubt it, but every single man has also received unwanted sexual attention at some point. It is not a gendered issue and there's no need to make it one.

Yeah, absolutely. Do you think the fear of commitment comes from men thinking they can do better?

This reminds me of a BBC report a few months ago about mothers who were forced to give up their babies for adoption. No mention of the fathers though. Even when they admitted some of the mothers were still with the fathers at the time, they didn't interview the fathers or even bring them up at all.

So if men are independently responsible for taking risks, why aren't women independently responsible for not taking risks? Why do they need to be encouraged?

I have to agree. Most feminists don't think all men are more privileged than all women. They just think if you're a man, being a man isn't one of the things making your life harder. I would argue that this isn't true, since there are many situations in which, if a man and a woman are equal in all other aspects, the woman will come out better off. There's no need to misrepresent their argument, since the argument they do make is flawed as it is. Of course, these days there are some feminists who …

I don't think it's saying that feminine men can't get sexual attention. I think it means men who act in the way feminism tells them they should (never do anything that could potentially make a woman uncomfortable, don't approach women, don't show any sexuality) will struggle to get into a romantic relationship if they act like that.

"The very idea that men might have issues contradicts her worldview" I see this so often. Some feminists scramble to debunk any and all complaints men have about society. They can't let men have even one thing. I think this is partly why Men's Rights supporters like us get shunned. They see us raising men's issues and they think we're saying that men are the only ones with issues. They can't comprehend that you can care about more than one thing at once.

I've seen a lot of people lately saying "The patriarchy hurts men too!". Well if that's true, it's not a very good patriarchy is it? In all seriousness, by the strict definition of patriarchy in which men hold positions of power, I can see how you could argue that the patriarchy does exist. However that provides absolutely no benefit to the 99.9% of men who aren't in positions of power.

The difference is, all feminists have bought into the feminist movement by choice. They saw the rampant misandry, the "kill all men", and they said "yes, I want to be a part of that". And by staying a part of the movement when a significant portion of its members are misandrists, they implicitly support those misandrists. But men do not choose to become men. They do not see the homicide statistics and say, "I want to be one of them". Men have no choice in being a man, and cannot opt out, even wh…

My advice is don't bring up any talking points yourself, but when someone starts talking about feminism, you respond with reasonable, non-confrontational counter arguments. You will find that people are much more likely to listen to you when they don't have a computer screen to hurl insults from behind. People will see that the things you are saying actually make sense, and that you are not a bad person.

I have never harassed, assaulted, or purposely made a woman feel uncomfortable. I do not surround myself with people that would do those things. There is literally NOTHING I can do to influence the sort of man that does. They say we have to "call out this behaviour when we see it" as if I regularly witness women being raped and murdered. They say we have to "call out our friends who say bad things about women" as if when women aren't around men have discussions about who they're going to sexuall…

For the suicide one, obviously women are going to make more attempts if they're not successful the first time. Men generally only make one attempt (because it works first time) while women will make several attempts until they're successful. This can account for it looking like more women are suicidal than men.

I feel the same way. I want to post something, anything, just to push back against this stream of hate we're getting. But I know I'd get ridiculed and would probably lose friends over it. So instead I sit in silence while I scroll through more and more Instagram stories telling me how much of a monster I am.

Everywhere I look, I'm being told to 'do better'. I have never harassed, assaulted, or purposefully made a woman uncomfortable in my life. I do not surround myself with men who would ever do those things. So what am I supposed to do? How can I 'do better' when I'm already doing everything right?

I noticed BBC news mentioned the fact that men are twice as likely to be murdered than women... and then glossed over it, and went right back to saying how scared women feel.

Seeing social media today made me feel like I've done something wrong just by being born male. And I'm not saying I have it as bad as the the girl who was murdered, of course I don't. But we don't deserve all the hatred we've received today.

Thanks for this. As well as being most murder victims, men are also more likely to be attacked on the street.

The phrase "All Men Are Trash" is SO normalised these days, women throw it around casually at the slightest inconvenience, even in the presence of men that they know and trust.

What really gets to me is that, after a social occasion at someone's house, every woman ALWAYS has to be walked home by a man. No matter even if they live only a few doors away. Me and my housemates had a few friends over for drinks a long while ago and this girl INSISTED that we walk her home. On the way back, we didn't even see a single other person out and about, and I remember thinking, did we really need to take a full half an hour out of our evening to walk you home? And obviously there is…

Why do so many people like you exist? Just imagine if you saw a female rape victim, would you still be saying "she was so lucky" or "i wish i was in her position"? No, you wouldn't. Why is it suddenly a joke whenever a man is the victim?
