This subreddit has become about finding the most mentally disturbed communities of women that exist and then being offended that said women have unhinged opinions.

These aren't your average women. These are women who have been broken and traumatized by a mix of their own experiences, and the warped victimhood culture we have around women in the west. We really need to find a way to deprogram and help people like this. They're stuck in a pattern of hatred and misery, and they lash out at the rest of us because of it.

I mean, what do you want? Do you want freedom and agency? Congratulations, that's what this is. Do you want us to outlaw age gap relationships? That kind of protective law-writing is what was classically known as the patriarchy. I thought we were trying to reduce the infringement on women's ability to make their own decisions? Do you have any idea how many relationships leave people worse off? We can't legislate people out if poor decisions. The legal age cut off already exists to minimize the p…

Something to consider is that for a lot of these studies that are done through surveys, you're getting a snapshot of what these people think in the moment, not what they will actually do in the given situation. Do I believe 50% of respondents think they would leave a man if he lost his job? Sure. But how many would leave once they are actually in that relationship and emotionally invested with someone? I wouldn't be surprised if the majority of women who said they would leave are either single, …

I strongly disagree that CEOs are hired based on merit. It's more complex than that. CEOs will run companies into the ground and immediately be hired into similar positions elsewhere. Reputation, perspective, and just having "been a CEO", are sometimes even more important than actual merit. I do agree that feminists are wrong. The key reason women are less likely to be CEOs is because the vast majority of people - not women - are not willing to work 80+ hours a week in an extremely risky positio…

I think women tend to make it a gendered issue because they have gendered health problems. My experience as a man is that doctors can be just as dismissive and useless about what we are going through. I flat out think most gps are useless. The amount of research I've had to do to figure out what tests to order, diagnoses I might have, and treatments to try, has left me very disillusioned with the ability for the healthcare system to diagnose and treat all but the most common illnesses. I work in…

Shame is one of the primary motivating tools of the church. Inspiration is another, but inspiration is harder to manufacture. They use inspiration when they can, and shame acts as their go-to method of adjusting behavior. The reason they use it less intensely with women is because of our culture, and because women won't tolerate it like men will.

Okay, don't tear me apart for this because I am in support of mandatory testing. The primary good-faith(ish) reason to not have mandatory testing is that it's often going to be better for the child. Think of who women are cheating on, then think of who women are cheating with. They tend to cheat on the stable, boring guy with the unstable, exciting guy. Who do you think is more capable of providing for that child? It's the same reason why throwing the book at women who commit paternity fraud is …

I disagree. I'm working on improving myself and have slowly become more attractive through various metrics. I have intrusive fantasies of just becoming a Chad and using women for my own needs as revenge for being relatively ignored. The thought absolutely does occur to men. Most successful men just don't have a reason to be resentful of women as a demographic. Thanks to feminism, successful women have plenty of reason to be resentful towards men as a group. Especially women in Hollywood. They le…

I don't have an all-purpose witty comeback. But I generally point to my very egalitarian value system and look at them like they're an idiot for even suggesting that I'm a bigot. I'm also married, so good luck with the "incel" label meaning much of anything.

This is actually a complex social phenomenon that happens for multiple reasons, but I'll simplify it by saying that women act with an in-group bias to protect each other from certain judgments. It's not as selfless as it sounds, but it is a common reaction you will see. I'm morbidly obese. Recently lost 120 lbs, got about 100 more to lose. Obesity is complicated mentally. None of us want to be obese. We usually are that way because we're dealing with an eating disorder that can be very difficult…

Sounds like she couldn't find a man who would put in his fair share of the work, then extrapolated that concern to the entire gender based on research that indicates the problem is common. As much as we like to clamp down on generalizations about men, I think its a known phenomenon that they are less likely to contribute evenly with housework. This is usually balanced out by the man being the breadwinner. But that's starting to change with newer generations. Be the change you want to see in the …

A lot of feminists see marriage as a tool of oppression. And they're kinda-sorta correct. Marriage is a way to avoid the problems that are coincidentally popping up right now with hook-up culture. It locks a man and a woman together so that when their pesky urges come about, the consequences of infidelity/divorce are a deterrent that helps keep them in line. This is both for their own interest since long term investment in creating a happy marriage is incentivized, and also in the interest of pr…

All of us have seen this pattern. Many of us have been pointing this stuff out for decades. No one cares. Actually, people actively dislike people and movements that try to bring up men's issues. So good luck. Maybe you'll have more success where we failed, but we lost the propaganda war. They're just going to call you an incel/misogynist and shut you down. That's all you are to society at large.

Women are very shallow in a different way from men. They're not shallow in the sense that they don't care about a person's personality, backstory, etc. They're shallow in that they are hyper-attracted to only very specific collections of attributes in men. Also, (some) men may sleep with any attractive woman, but we wouldn't wife them up. Women don't seem to understand how picky we are when it comes to long term relationships because they see that we have relatively low standards for sex. We're …

Because opposition to feminist and pro-women political groups is waved off as sexism, so there is no real pressure to mitigate the damage other than the shows failing to appeal to a wide enough audience to be affordable. That, and because 99% of media comes out of hyper-liberal bubbles in California, New York, British Columbia, etc. Oh, and don't forget Blackrock investments being based on ESG scores, which basically meant "woke shit gets funded" for a long time there.

I don't think it will ever become mainstream. Women would lose too much, and it's really easy to propagandize against MR. I don't particularly care if MR becomes mainstream. I actually think raising social consciousness on the individual issues themselves is easier. Couching the issues under a banner of "men's rights" makes it easier to attack or handwave away. Just look at the incels. The issues that cause incels to exist are real social problems that are only going to get worse without interve…

Some Christians make threats online. Remind me again how many Christians are actively leading a holy war against other religions? In your defense, the culture is more important than the religion. Christians are absolutely capable of violence. But they're not the ones lighting up the middle east for their beliefs.

Being for equality is just egalitarianism. Feminism pretends to be egalitarian, but it is almost universally female-oriented. Men's Rights only needed to exist as a separate entity because Feminism isn't egalitarian. And MR isn't strictly egalitarian either. I often tell people I'm an early 2000s/late 90s progressive.

I think it's kind of ironic. The attitude is the same as it was 100 years ago, just for a different reason. We used to blame men over women because we saw women as having less agency over themselves and their decisions. But now they arguably have more agency than men. Yet we still treat them as if they are not responsible for their own choices in certain circumstances. It's kind of misogynistic.

Listen, compassion is a great ideal. But you don't tell a man who is in a survival situation to get in touch with his feelings and do mindfulness exercises. When you're a man in hell, no one is coming to pull you out. You are the only person you can rely on. You can prolong your time there by sitting down and crying about it, something plenty of people do and end up stuck with learned helplessness. Or you can keep picking yourself up and moving forward until you're in a better place. Don't get m…

I mean, yeah, that's a pretty inflammatory way to approach the gender war. Women are definitely going to react poorly to those quotes on multiple levels. First of all because it paints them in a bad light, second because they're from scripture - and modern people have been taught to disrespect scripture outright. I'm not religious. It took me a long time to really grasp just how important and eternal the wisdom in scripture can be. The major religions spread because they actually taught people h…

If you live in the west, just go rural. Most of the progressive nonsense is in the big cities. Women who grow up out in the country still tend to have more traditional values, even if they went to a big city for an education before moving back. I work in a rural hospital mostly with young women. They pretty much all spend their early 20s quickly finding a guy to settle down with, then start popping out kids by the time they are 25-26.

You have to accept that these are bitter women who can't adapt to the new dating reality, and will either die alone, or be miserable (and make their partner miserable) in a relationship where they feel like they are settling. They are not the average woman. They are not the "90%". They're just the loudest ones.

Log off. Pursue meditation. Internalize the idea that responding to hatred with more hatred just perpetuates the cycle. I get it. It's hard not to get angry when you see misandry online. But hating them back just fuels the fire. They take it as proof that their hatred is justified. The only way to disarm hatred is by patiently and consistently holding out an olive branch. We have to make them see that we aren't an enemy, just another group of human beings. It takes time, but it works.

Because we are biologically programmed by evolution to seek each other out and procreate. Most women feel the exact same way about men they are attracted to. The only problem is that women tend to want men out of their league, who will sleep with them but won't settle down with them. And because of that reality, these women also are functionally out of the average man's league, leaving most men and women unsatisfied and unhappy. It's the natural state of a system that has been disrupted. The ide…

We aren't giving women credit they didn't earn. We're explaining a natural phenomenon. Women are inherently valued. Why? Because they have inherent value. That's not opinion. It's fact. Why do you think 50 year old men will pay thousands of dollars to sleep with 20 year old women, when the opposite isn't really true? Because men's worth is in our labor.

Get off social media. Work on yourself. Take every opportunity to grow into a healthier person and develop socially. This is something that every man needs to do for himself. Changing the world is a pipe dream. But we can change ourselves. We can each decide to seek out and foster relationships. We can each decide to develop ourselves into someone that other people find attractive. It's on us to adapt to the world and do what's best for us, we are all we can truly rely on.

I don't think the issue is that women think men are scum who don't deserve things. It's that we've equated expectations for women of any kind with sexism or abuse. We are fundamentally not allowed to expect anything of women anymore. If you expect her to do her part to maintain a healthy sexual relationship? Abuse. If you expect her to do certain household chores? Abuse. If you want a woman that conforms to certain gender roles, that's sexist and abusive. This isn't about women seeing no value i…

It's pretty natural. The institution of marriage (or of monogamous relationships) is only so strong. It helps keep people together after the initial burst of infatuation fades and the hard times come around, but you add in ongoing distance and time separated? It's natural to move on emotionally. Unless you have kids together to help anchor you in that relationship, you eventually become strangers. Duty and social obligation can only keep people together so long.

Look at common complaints among depressed men, then look at the suicide rate difference between men and women. Sure, it's not like misandry is the only reason men kill themselves, and not the only reason men kill themselves more than women. But the two aren't unrelated entirely. How many men who kill themselves do you think feel isolated and unaccepted by society? A big part of that is misandry putting a giant wall between men and everyone else.

I agree, but I think we have to be clear about definitions. Putting women on a pedestal is silly behavior. But there are a lot of men (and women) who deserve a bit of shitting on. Similarly, I think a lot of men do need to toughen up. It's not that we shouldn't be able to cry occasionally or talk about our problems, we should be able to do those things.

There are times when it is abused, but there are also times when it's honestly needed. Not that it's ever effective advice on its own. It needs to be said in conjunction with additional guidance.

No, I really don't think either of these ideas are being consciously pushed by a group with an agenda. The first point is something advocated by women because women don't want to end up single for life if they have a kid with one man and the relationship doesn't work out. It's in their best interest to advocate for this, even if it doesn't affect them right now. Advocating for the reverse doesn't benefit them, so they don't do it.

You think 13 year olds aren't dating? I'm not saying they should be approaching 30 year olds. I'm saying that if they see a cute boy in their class, they should learn the value of approaching. That age range is relevant because it is information that is relevant to them, nothing else. And I didn't go higher because I don't think most 40 year old women need to be told to approach men they are interested in. They've usually figured out the game by that point.

Think about the target audience for this information, then think about the audience you are limiting yourself to by posting this information in this sub. Are you looking for people who already agree with you? Congrats, we all do. If you want women to start seeing the need for and benefits of them approaching, you need to find audiences of women aged 13-30 who are actively dating.

Never. The concept is ridiculous to me. Men and women need each other. We balance each other out. I know that modern society has made it difficult for men and women to coexist peacefully.

I was worried about what feminists were doing to boys 30 years ago. A lot of us were. In 30 years, no one has amassed enough support for our concerns to matter. I doubt anything is going to change on that front. This is their world, we're just living in it.

She just punched a guy who deserved to get punched. The bigotry is the problem for me. I think isolated acts of violence can be justifiable, even relatable.

I think marriage is an imperfect solution to a really big problem that we are seeing played out among young people today. If any of you are familiar with Hoe Math on YouTube, you may know what I'm talking about. The problem without marriage is that you get a handful of high value men who aren't locked down, having casual relationships with 60-70% of women who are also not locked down. The women can't lock in any of these guys without marriage being an expectation, and none of these guys benefit …

Everything about this is red flags. One of the guys was shaking beforehand because he was so nervous. Both the men and the girl felt bad because they couldn't finish in the alloted time. I'm sure both parties feel like objects. This is what happens when you feed hedonism. People do things that aren't in their best interest physically or emotionally because they aren't regulating themselves.

We don't even support men from our own countries.

I've almost never seen a discussion among left wing people about men's issues, except in the context of what they have to do to keep men voting Democrat. Any pointing out of issues we face gets derailed into a conversation about how women have it worse, or about how we are actually privileged misogynists/racists/homophobes. I will probably never vote left wing again. And my values have always aligned with the moderate left, so that's a big deal.

Yes. That is exactly how feminism operates. Actually, people in general have a blindspot for their double standards.

The female on male version is definitely more accepted on social media, and is arguably a much larger group, but real misogynists still exist.

It's not a female issue necessarily, though I do see it happen more with women. I think the primary culprit is that our culture doesn't prepare us for what a real relationship is like. Real love waxes and wanes. You don't stay the same level of attracted to your partner your whole life. Part of the challenge of a long term relationship is committing to that relationship, which means staying even when the love doesn't come as easily to you. A lot of young people think love is supposed to be this …

Yeah, no. Hard disagree. I've never even heard a feminist support the ideas contained within Islam, and I'm very active in these communities where that sort of thing would be called out and ridiculed. They support Islam because it is a culture that is non-white, and because white people fear it. This is what it means to be progressive. You support anyone or anything that you view as oppressed by the dominant power. That's why they'll even support drag queen story hour. It's all about rebellion a…

I actually dislike how often this sentiment is repeated. Most things in life are zero sum games. You're competing for limited time, attention, and resources. In the gender war specifically, one group's solutions often take away privileges or rights of the other group. When politicians are running for office, or philanthropists are looking for a charity, they're going to pick a limited number of problems to support. The public also has a limited amount of time and attention they can dedicate to s…

No, it's their ideas that make them unpalatable to most normal people. You think if you showed the posts on foreveralonewomen to most women irl they would agree with how radical they are there? Most women don't feel that way. The male-focused communities you're talking about all hold sexist, limiting beliefs. Nevermind that there is a grain of truth to some of them. You can't present those beliefs the way they do and expect women to meet you half way.

We need to be careful with the language we use with this topic. You need oxygen. You don't need sex. A big sticking point women have with the MRM is that they feel like we put too many expectations on them for our own happiness. Forgetting for a moment that we are much healthier together on average, we need to present the problem in a way that doesn't make women feel like we're about to volunteer them for sex slavery.

The problem with your idea is that the minority of men who are willing to do whatever it takes to be successful will always continue to approach women, continuing the trend of only a small number of men being successful. It effectively changes nothing. We are the sex that is designed to pursue. If you sit around waiting for women to pursue you, the human race will literally go extinct. As much as they may complain about being alone, women are way more likely than men to accept being alone rather…

To be fair, it's generally true. I am only slightly bigger than the average guy, and I could physically demolish 90% of women out there.

Women have an in-group bias. They tend to be at least superficially supportive of each other without needing a reason. This bias doesn't really exist with men in the same way. Men also tend to treat women well without knowing them, but men are often treated with suspicion rather than openness by women. The epidemic of loneliness is called an epidemic for a reason. Women experience it too. But I think men have it much worse in this regard.

Equality to them comes under the presumption that women always face inequality. That allows them to always positively discriminate for women. They aren't for actual equality based on factual analysis. They're for equity, which essentially means all women deserve benefits based on the success of the top 1% of men.

What is the negative in more people being there? You might approach a straight guy by accident who is there with his girlfriend, but then you just move on to the next guy. I've seen gay bars shut down due to lack of clientele. Between that option, or having straight women help keep them afloat, which would you…

It's not a lie. A lot of them genuinely believe that they want to accept men and our feelings. There's just a big disconnect between what they believe and their actions in the moment. That's why they get so upset when you confront them on it. There's this recoil that takes place because of the cognitive dissonance. They have to either react with anger or accept that they have betrayed their stated beliefs. Then they usually try to rationalize it by shifting the goalposts. That's their last ditch…

"It doesn't work that way" - but it kind of does. A lot of the time defending yourself leads to white knights jumping on you, or the police arresting you. The general consensus of the western world is that women are allowed to be physically violent to men and not the reverse. It is a largely unspoken rule.

Well, all it takes to be a feminist is to describe yourself as one. They don't have a unifying doctrine. Many of them believe different things.

All it takes is a language change. Instead of saying "men are awful", say "rapists and abusers are awful". That is literally all it would take. The only reason why these people are getting called out is because they use the word "men". Stop blaming men as a group, and people will stop calling you out for misandry.

It looks like systemic sexism because it happens across the system, but it's not like judges are told (generally) that they must give men harsher sentences. It's not the system, or protocol of the job, imposing this. It is the individual sexism of the judges themselves who choose to give women lighter…

I can empathize with feminists like this. They've been brought up in a world that teaches them all of the stuff you are complaining about. They don't know any better, and what's worse is they've been taught to immediately react adversarially to anyone who challenges their beliefs. This is why propaganda machines like gender studies need to be closed down. The humanities as a field are full of pseudoscience. I was a therapist for a time, and I experienced first hand how much ideology and politics…

That's some hardcore cope. "I want equality! Wait, equality is giving me bad things? It must be because men fucked it up somehow!" How would a world built to benefit men make men pay more for insurance pre-equality? Or is she suggesting that because men still control the world, that's why equality means women have to pay as much as men? No, that's just equality dumbass.

Honestly, these kinds of cases are just a mess, and they're made even worse by legal definitions and gender bias. Even basic rape cases are difficult to judge. They're all he-said, she-said cases where there's nothing but circumstantial evidence. If you require too much proof from the woman/victim, no one can ever really get charged. If you require too little proof, men/accused are unfairly treated. If you add in the fact that the sex was consensual except for the lack of a condom or birth contr…

If Chauvin restraining Floyd counts as felony assault, and that is how they justify his felony murder charge, surely headlock slamming someone onto the ground should be another felony assault charge for this cop, right? /s

To be fair, equality in this scenario would be allowing the man to wear a bikini for the entire stream, or banning the woman for showing a picture of a man in a bikini. The feminist argument is that it's okay for a woman to choose to show her body. But when men objectify a woman, even one who chose to participate in a bikini shoot in the first place, we are acting on her, rather than her being a willing participant. Basically, it's okay when I sexualize myself. It's not okay when you sexualize m…

Because feminism has great PR, and they have sole jurisdiction over equality in the eyes of the majority. Essentially, the idea that is put forth is that since feminism is for equality, then men shouldn't need an independent movement for male equality. That must mean that mens rights exists to give men privileges over women, so it is evil. This honestly isn't far from the truth. Mens rights regularly butt up against the rights of women. For example, the right to due process and a fair trial in a…

I've responded with "uhm okay" or something similar just because I felt like the argument wasn't worth my time.

Feminism is about equality of the sexes. But in the effort to achieve equality by focusing on the problems of one sex, it became about comparing the two, and then devolved into demonizing men. Mens Rights has this lesson to take to heart. Feminism became trash because the core mechanism of focusing on female problems eventually led to anger against non-women.

They were quite happy for an apparent act of misogyny to finally happen. The problem being that I think it had a lot more to do with the women being the ex's of the shooter than the fact that they were women. But anything to push the female victimhood narrative, gotta get them special privileges.

To be fair, up until recently, mainstream news wasn't even covering the allegations, so most people didn't know they existed.

I think the difference between "goofing around* and "sexual assault" is a very blurred line, and that's the real problem. For one woman, if she finds the guy attractive, he could throw her up against a wall and feel her up, and shed think it was hot. For a different woman, asking her out on a date in an elevator might be sexual harassment. Men can't know where the line is if it changes based on subjective criteria. That has always been the problem with accusations of sexual assault. And it's why…

Because no one really has an innate desire to care for men the way they do for women. If no one cares when men are being unfairly treated, and at least some people care fanatically when women are suffering the consequences of their own actions, how is a discussion supposed to get started?

Because that only lasts a short time, and if you don't lock a guy in with marriage, the roles reverse somewhere in the age range of 30-40. Women's primary value on the sexual marketplace is youth and the health that comes along with it. Youth fades quickly. Men's primary value on the sexual marketplace is their ability to provide for a family. This ability only increases over time, on average. The high value men who are chasing you now will be chasing someone younger and prettier in a few years.…

Women do have more inherent value, particularly when talking about women between 18-30 or so. That's why young, moderately attractive women can just show up and the world bends over for them. Female sexual value is based on reproductive health, so young healthy women have all the inherent value you can get. In comparison, male sexual value is based on their ability to be a provider. That isn't a type of value you can call inherent. It's earned. Young men haven't earned their value on the sexual …
