I would support this re-phrasing. Although I would phrase it as "Reddit amplifies the extent to which society does not care about men." I don't think society hates men. The opposite of love isn't hate but apathy, and that's what men face.

I mean, it looks like they monetized the hate movement into a steady Patreon income. Their last post was 7 days ago so I guess this happened somewhat recently. I've written to Patreon to protest their funding but not response so far (11 months later). Thanks for letting me know though.

I've found discord to be useful. However, I honestly think we should have an at-arms-length public option where moderators are professionals who only ban for breaking sub or site rules. It would encourage discussion and force the fundamentalists to face their worst fear: having to rationally justify their ideology.

Whoever is having their voices suppressed are not the people in power Excellent point and worth repeating. How are men the most privilege gender when it is their voice that is suppressed? When men stand up against sexism, they're told they're "whining" or "crying" or given #maletears or #notallmen (mockingly) or any number of responses that don't engage with the initial objection given by the man. That's because ANY response to a man about his "rights" snicker is a luxury bestowed upon them. The…

It unfortunately feels like that's the only change that will happen: People will suddenly realize how feminism has scarred entire generations of boys and men.

Do you feel that Reddit is particularly anti-Christian? I haven't noticed this myself. Anti-Christianity, sure, but people have the right to be against ANY ideology, feminism and Christianity included. You don't have a right to express any ideology without the expectation that you won't in any way be challenged on it.

I posted evidence that admins accept hate against men. It's the same for white people or cis people. Anybody who they consider the "majority" is fair game. Their first version of the new content policy was the more honest version as it explicitly said it was only against Reddit's policy to target "minority groups". All of which means your condescending attitude is, you know. Condescending. Claiming that Reddit is a hate site is pretty much like claiming that the Internet is a place of hate. Not …

I never said it was a smoking gun. I consider all of my posts "just another shoulder to the wheel", another brick in the bridge. And if you search for rights you'll see men's rights as the second result. Good. It's about gender rights, after all. ...Wait...Oof. And? FDS is explicitly hateful towards men. Are you claiming this sub is the same as FDS when it comes to hate? PSSSSTTT ... I don't think that was the smoking gun you seem to think it was. It rather neatly revealed your bias, though.

If you ever want a happy relationship with women, then don't treat them like they are the enemy. Nothing to add. It just bears repeating. I'd give the same advice to FDS.

I have posted and contributed here for 5+ years and have come to this realization over time. I'm sharing my conclusions regarding the integrity of this hate site. Also, unlike the woke, I don't just cut hate off and further cultivate my echo chamber. I stand up and call it what it is. I engage with it and am able to explain WHY hate is wrong because I've bothered to think about the subject instead of just parroting talking points I learned on Twitter. Anything else I can help you with?

If your enemy is giving you their playbook why not study it and use it against them. just learn their tactics and use it against them. But you don't know who "them" is so it seems like you're advocating the use of such tactics against women who don't even know what FDS is or necessarily promote that sub's views. totally destroy them I'm not advocating for violence Uhuh, uhuh.

I can't find the post but AHS (againsthatesubreddits) explicitly said they only care about the transphobia there, not the misandry. Their mods also claimed that misandry isn't real (post since deleted). FDS gets a pass because it shits on men. If they targeted anyone else (except maybe white or cis people), they'd've been banned long ago. But no. Reddit's admins are bigots, so....

I once had social workers at my door after my wife's friendship went sour and they called the government in revenge. I went 5 weeks without a response or any word other than we were under investigation. When I, a man, phoned and left a message where I unintentionally broke down and pleaded them to give us some news, any news, on whether our children would be unjustly taken away, they ordered me to take a "stress test"...because when a man cries, it means he's an "too stressed" and an unfit paren…

Dads work more hours than Moms - and that includes childcare and housecare. However, the "unpaid work" in this stat and my link are both based on self-reporting and I don't trust people's egos enough to withhold my skepticism.

More seriously, could you please abstain from implying I'm acting in bad faith here? Your first comment was a strawman with a question mark on the end so I don't see how you have any right to ask that we not think you're acting in bad faith. Everything you've said after your first comment continues to provide evidence for your bad faith. For instance, when OP claimed the article was hypocritical, you 'fell back' to pretending that the author themselves was under discussion, and whether she was h…

They're 18 and only dating a few months. Expecting there to be absolute trust between those two teenagers is expecting too much.

Notice how feminists always consider anything "pro-male" to be "deeply misogynist". It's become a catch-all term for "I don't like what you said". For instance, I recently pointed out in /r/DebtStrike that women have been the majority of graduates since 1982 and so would benefit more than men from debt relief. I was called an incel and a misogynist by suggesting we consider that college debt relief would be giving overwhelming benefit to women who clearly already receive societal aid and support…

Glad to know it wasn't me. The movie was written by Max Landis and he was a producer but then he was cancelled by sexual assault allegations so they went really hard in the other direction and ended up with something that's pretty priceless.

I liked the story. I didn't care what sex or race was cast in any part. I miss being able to feel like that. Unfortunately, the woke have robbed it from too many people. I'm glad you still have it and I'm not inclined to change anything about that. Thanks for responding, though. You gave a good account of yourself.

Okay, but what way exactly do you disagree with me? We both agree it's a great story. That doesn't mean it's media designed to frame white men in a negative light. It's interesting that people will lose their minds there is not yet an indigenous superhero but a movie like Rogue One - which is pretty explicit in its biased casting - gets a pass. It speaks to how powerful this kind of social engineering is.

I don't support the violation of anybody's privacy. However, something needs to be done about the social licence that (1) anonymity and (2) the feminist-encouraged acceptable hatred towards men provides to false accusers. Remember, in a feminist's eyes Men Are Oppressors and who really cares what you do to your oppressor? This is why many men/boys are denied due process when accused of sexual assault on a university campus and face ejection from the school and a poisoning of all their social and…

Shadow in the Cloud is an amazing feminist film where every man is a horrible pig and the strong female protagonist overcomes all odds and stands alone at the end. [I posted a full review on the LWMA sub for anyone that's interested.]

Rogue One has one white male protagonist who is barely on-screen and dies quickly. The antagonists, however, are overwhelmingly white and male. The message here was very clear. It was a good story - one ruined by the attempt at social engineering.

Feminism: for when you hate men more than you hate totalitarianism. LOL Thanks for that. I needed it. Oh, and they also mention needing male escorts. Men are twice as likely to be attacked by strangers so they're really just inviting more danger this way. They should just walk with other woman since every woman they walk with halves their chance of being attacked. It's like Zeno's arrow. That's how statistics work right?

They are absolutely making up a victim persona for themselves. People make up versions of themselves online all the time. Why is it so unbelievable that someone make up a victim persona? Particularly when victimhood carries such a high social currency. Plus it's all such a passive self-compliment and ego boost. "I'm so hot that when I go outside I get constantly harassed."

You have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about. No, apparently you don't since you seem to be claiming that men are vastly over-represented in homelessness. emergency shelters, have as many units for men as women.

There arne't "swaths" because men always outnumber women when it comes to homelessness.

It is absolutely just a matter of practice. You can always add granularity to your statements to ensure you're not making absolute statements about any identity group.

To add to this, it bothers me that we're women-washing the past. It was men who were forced to fight in the wars of the rich. It was men who were gangpressed into the Navy or military.

Women suffered too but war has historically been exclusively a male issue that it's unrecognized as gendered violence.

Briefly, yes. Then they changed it but they didn't really change it. I wish we could FOI documents from corporations.

And yet when I report comments like "More women should hate men", I'm told it's not hate. Or "I wish all men would just disappear". Nope, not hate. Twox, FourthWaveFeminists, TrollX, NiceGuys and so many other subs exist solely or mainly to provide a "safe space" for women to demonize men, to mock them, to demean them and to hate them. They're hate subs.

There is no gender pay gap. Women just have more time off, a better work/life balance and they're a tiny fraction of the people who work the necessary dangerous jobs upon which our consumerist society survives.

You should look at the Men's Shed movement if you haven't already. Personally I'm not very much into tools so those don't interest me much so it might be nice for men to have something that's not traditionally masculine necessarily. Mostly, though, you should have something for the guys to do. Asking a bunch of guys who don't know each other (at first) to just sit in a room and do nothing but talk? Like I said I'm not even a guy's guy but I still very much prefer something to do other than just …

Men don't have equal rights as long as they cannot abrogate responsibility for a fetus they helped create. Men don't have equal rights as long as women can choose to consign men to 18 years of debt and legal responsibility for the child. Anybody who's against men being to have a "financial abortion" / annulment of parenthood is anti-choice. The pro-choice stance on reproductive rights MUST include men's right to annul parenthood because any stance predicated on the freedom of choice must also st…

Didn’t read the bottom of the tshirt that it said “BOUGHT AND PAID FOR BY THE FEMINIST PARTY” Of course not. There is no Feminist Party. This is a disingenuous No True Scotsman argument you're making here. Feminism is the dominant social narrative - by a wide margin - and it regularly preaches female supremacy / male inferiority. I know that doesn't say anything good about feminism but that doesn't mean what I'm saying is wrong. Just that feminism is.

It's cute how you referred to that as "logic".

So if both genders want to avoid being murdered, it sounds like they should stay away from men. But men tend not to be hysteria-driven asshats perpetually caught in the midst of a moral panic. Present company excluded. Hence why some women would want to go to a female-only gym. Because of their irrational fear? I don't think that's a very nice thing to say about women.

They aren't in Canada. While gender is itself a protected class, human rights tribunals (kangaroo courts) and the Supreme Court (wallaby court) have consistently acted as if it's only women that are the protected class. You'd work hard to build something good and then get sued for your gender policy and judges would end up telling you that "you're denying women the chance to exercise locally" and "encouraging misogyny" by having a membership policy for the place you built yourself.

Hard disagree. Sex offender lists go against the entire principle of imprisoning someone in the first place. It's perpetual punishment and men have been put on there for public urination or (consensual) fucking in the bathroom - but since he's fucking a guy and the cop's homophobic, onto the registry they go. Injustice is not justice. Spreading it to women or any other identity group doesn't create justice; it just creates more injustice.

the defense attorney used all of her challenges on older people (for some reason I can't wrap my head around). Much like Don Dutton, older people are more likely to acknowledge that most domestic violence is mutual, not uni-directional.

Interesting point. I agree that in the context of gender, the inverse of conscription is forced childbirth, something that's far less likely to kill you than war. I hesitate to use this though because the overturning of Roe v Wade was an incursion into the rights of my fellow human beings and my objection to that incursion is in no way based on how much women support society (and the state's) restriction of my rights.

"Gender equality" is always code for "making things better for women". Men don't need help because (1) under traditional male gender norms, men are always capable, always competent and (2) under feminism, men are always privileged.

Why we cant Pay evil with evil Because an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind. Feminists hurting men isn't wrong because they hurt men; they're wrong because they're hurting people. Hurting other people on the basis of their gender makes you just the same as the feminists. The difference in your targets is without distinction.

Feminism hurts men, absolutely. That doesn't give men permission to hurt other people in return. After all, honour is a traditional male value.

You're just furthering the bad faith argument. until the fetus can live without literally physically depending on their body Once born, a baby can live without the mother. There's literally millions examples of even premature babies surviving. Until then, the fetus is a part of her body - which does not exclude the idea that the fetus is a body and person in and of itself, just that it's a body/life that is still part of the mother.

Second of all, it is not a generalization if it is the truth. It can't be the truth because it's a generalization. You're describing SOME women, not ALL women, but acting as if you're describing all women anyways. That's the essence of bigotry. Don't be a bigot.

This is a great idea. Men don't legally own their sperm. A woman can impregnate herself with a man's sperm without his consent and then sue that man for child support. Men who have been raped and sued for child support always end up paying child support to their rapist. None of which means women deserve less bodily autonomy. I'm not speaking for men but because we're male humans who suffer unrecognized abused by society. It's an injustice. That's it. Thinking that women somehow deserve this rece…

39 recorded bombings in one year, including churches, mailboxes and a train. They burned down residential houses too, threatening the lives of not only the children of their targets but the families of everyone surrounding their targets, given the (lack of) fire codes in 1913 Britain. Oh, and burned down a hospital. ...and tried to bomb a reservoir to flood a populated valleys below with 138 million gallons of water but the bomb didn't go off. That wiki is a hell of a read.

Second, race is most definitely a factor for well-being. Especially in Canada.

This is so far from "Most SAHM would run away from that responsibility" that it's practically a different subject.

It's this expectation that leads to men being OVERWHELMINGLY represented in every dangerous, dirty and hard job that our society depends on. Even in an office job, men are far more likely to put in more hours in order to get the promotions that allow him to provide his family with the best lifestyle they can afford. This leads to stress, bad eating hab…

Your link doesn't show that "feminists' thrived off the industrial revolution". Does the idea of not appearing as a helpless victim who needs help 24/7 by soicety not offend you? No, because that's not how they see it. In their minds, feminism is balancing an imbalance. Everything done by feminist is justified by the myth that women have always had it worse during human history and so it's okay to "punch up" because it's just balancing the scales. They're not being coddled; they're being helped …

It's telling that the countries (SK and Italy excepted) that have a paid menstrual leave are also countries where far more people have a very traditional views of women as fragile creatures to be protected, exceptioned, and never ever treated as a full equal. Because paid menstrual leave causes a defacto pay gap Especially if it's unpaid but if it is that won't last long. Feminists will point to the mythic pay gap to force governments to pass a law ensuring menstruating days are paid. Once a lie…

No, they blamed men for their own "toxic masculinity". Plus male disposability isn't part of toxic masculinity since that term only refers to tendencies that affect women. All you're doing is taking the abusive way our society treats men and shoving it under 'toxic masculinity' because that lets you blame men for their own oppression. The last bit is important because feminism is founded upon the idea of man as an 'oppressor class' and so it's VERY important that feminists never show an ounce of…

That's a diatribe, not an argument. It looks like you're having a very emotional reaction to this issue.

MRAs are always told they're "acting like a victim" because the people saying it don't actually believe men can be victimized by society too. Later on below you also use "whiny" and "simpering". Plus "pearl-clutching" here. All of these are words antithetical to what a traditional man is supposed to be. You're exploiting traditional gender norms to try to shame OP into silence.

How is this a scary thought? How would this be worse than Reddit? Based on what standards?

It's a modest proposal to say that comparing how Jews were spoken about in 1930's Germany (and USA, Britain, France, etc.) bears a strong relationship to how men were spoken about in modern times.

The problem is that there isn't a good alternative. Free speech is a political right that should be guaranteed by our government. We need a government to make a version of Reddit that is publicly-owned and professionally-moderated. The bonus would be that there would be no subs for cat pictures or sportsball talk. It would be for (mostly) serious discussion on political, social, economic, religious, etc., issues so it would be self-selecting. You'd only get banned for breaking sub or site rules …

It's not even a cogent argument. It's "not the same" because men/whitey 'have all the power'.

Feminism is capitalist to the core. Look at the "unpaid labour of housewives" argument. It's not paid because she's not paying for the house, food or any of the bills.

The concept of 'fragile masculinity' leverages traditional gender norms in order to manage men and their opinions. You're "fragile" if you object to feminist sexism or feminist hate speech.

Most men will do whatever they can to avoid being called fragile, so most men will comply with the feminist narrative if opposing it means they're fragile. QED suckas.

Men face systemic discrimination because men get longer sentences for the same crimes, are more likely to be homeless, people care less when men get hurt than if women get hurt, are far more likely to die on the job, die sooner and have less life satisfaction. (These are all sourced. I usually post them but I'm tired. They're in my history if you'd like to look.) Stop defending #KillAllMen.

This is a really hostile post. Nobody said anything about every escalation, that's your straw man to dance with. That's the standard for consent on college campuses across America. There is to be an enthusiastic consent for every escalation. So it's not a straw man. women are not a monolith. There are billions of women in the world who like all kinds of shit.

And for every escalation of physical contact afterwards? Asking for consent at each stage of sex is laborious and un-sexy. Nobody does this. It's a woke fantasy. As stated, it also doesn't align with what women want and expect. Many want to be taken, but consensually. It's up to guys to figure out how to balance these desires. A good step would be for women to start deconstructing their sexual assumptions and attitudes. The average women's ideal sexual partner is also someone who abides by tradi…

I think it's perpetuating traditional gender roles for men and acting as if they're the norm. I no more agree with his description of "man" than I do a feminist's. Saying that there's a drop in testosterone and sex since the 70's because "pussies don't attract pussy" is overly simplistic and just serves to rally his base, all of whom think they are the "real man".

Except for the fact that condoms are 98% effective, your stats are bullshit. A woman can get pregnant from pre-cum. While pre-cum has no sperm itself, it acts as a conduit for sperm to travel down the urethra and into the woman. Pulling out is not a reliable form of birth control. I hate condoms too, but.

Have you been raped or known another man who has? I have a friend who was groped at a work function. I urged him to come forward but he didn't want to. I suspect that he got a bit of a thrill out of it and so felt he didn't have the right to complain. This is part of the problem the rape of men. A woman can force or coerce men into sex but men generally don't see it as rape if they had an orgasm in the end.

While I don't think that necessarily fits under 'reproductive rights', I certainly think it merits discussion when discussing men's bodily autonomy.

it should be considered a problem of general treatment of employees. This is why feminism and the Woke aren't really left. There are so many opportunities to speak for workers as a whole but they're never taken because that might actually lead to uniting people against the 1-5%. But to consider it misogyny by excluding male victims and assuming 100% of female victims are actually right about their worries? That's just absurd. We live in a bad-faith dystopia.

Focus on one gender and you can split the electorate against each other. Atomize the atomic family and you can do whatever the hell you want. Absolutely. I suspect the CIA has had a hand in bigging up feminism for this very reason. I think this is the basis for all modern identity politics, really. If you're interested in this idea, and a Marxist critique of idpol, you should check r/stupidpol.

Also these crimes tend to be serial in nature. Like that one study I didn't bookmark that showed a lot of campus rape was due to serial rapists. It feels like many women expect society to be entirely peaceful and any contravention of that peace is an indictment of men as a whole. In my experience, no man expects real-life society to be safe.

"Teach men not to rape" was a popular one about 6-8 years back, the implication being that men would rape if they weren't explicitly taught not to. It's so passive-aggressive, which is a hallmark of the toxic parts of traditional female culture (i.e., "toxic femininity" but in a less passive-aggressive way). There's no blame in that; it makes perfect sense for a people for whom aggression-aggression was simply never an option. It's just important to recognize how being an evolved-animal species …

"demeaning comments", "a lack of attention paid to their work or ideas", and "a sense that it was harder for women to be promoted in the company". I've noticed this as well. It was also factor in the Great White Purge of 2020 where people were getting sacked for supposed racism when the comments were similar to the above. That's just normal working conditions. It's not right that they're normal working conditions but it's also not specific to women or non-white people.

I worked in a similar environment and I had a friend whose cock was grabbed by a female co-worker during a conference. I urged him to go to HR but he just blushed and shook his head. Just refused to say anything. He was a very highly-sexed guy so I suspect he didn't want to say anything because the tiniest portion of him enjoyed it or he wasn't 100% sure he didn't enjoy it. Still sexual assault, regardless of how he reacted.

Feminism became what it has because it was force-grown in the labs of academia where it's 'publish or die'. More and more outlandish ideas are "published" in journals with no scientific rigour and nobody ever tests their results or their basic hypotheses because it's become a MORAL issue, not a scientific one. It's moot, anyways. Aca…

while these takes are common in faux-progressivism and on social media, it would be nice to see links to feminist academia coming to these conclusions. Why? Those are the ways in which feminism affects the most amount of men. OP correctly described the social narrative regarding street harassment and it's that narrative that drives social and government policy. As no figures or source is provided we are left to speculate on the nature of the dataset, It's interesting how "lived experiences" are …

It was okay to use him as a living doll and it was okay to have him around as long as he wasn't a sexual threat. As soon as he showed what they perceived as sexual interest, it was (to them) a "betrayal of trust". What really happened was they were exploiting him for their own amusement and didn't like it when their doll spoke up.

consent to sex is consent to parenthood. If they were facts, why did you have to change the language on this one? Because you know it's not a fact. If you can't be honest about your own ideology, is it really worth defending?

My last (female-dominated) workplace was very toxic. I once watched a (female) manager berate a 50 year old woman until she was crying.

When I was found crying at my desk, I was ordered to seek counselling and treated like I was dangerous and a freak.

So left wing causes get gendered, and nothing helpful gets done unless it only benefits the minority of women. Feature, not a bug. The status quo benefits the 1%. Always. Change always has to be gradual so they have time to counteract, co-opt and control any opposition.

The more scared you are by men, the more justified you are in hatefully speaking about men. The more you hatefully speak about men, the more social currency you have.

Ask questions and appeal to the common ideal. If they say that male victims aren't as important, does that mean that all men are less important than women? If they say yes to that, they're bigots but don't say that. Just ask them why all men are less important than women. They'll say something about privilege and then you start asking about the handicapped, the homeless, the suicides, black men, boys and all the other 'marginalized' groups they care about. They either have to say they don't care…

technological development has been undeniable fueled by capitalism. No, technological development is fueled by human innovation, curiosity and passion. You're assigning those individual achievements to a system that ensures their innovation will benefit the rich more than it benefits the creator or anyone else.

There's not really any evidence that we have too many people. We just have an inequitable distribution of resources. America wastes 30-40% of its food every year. Most first world nations are in the same range. Plus, if we equitably distributed resources the birth rate would naturally drop since economic stability lowers birth rates.

I think they're saying that people are blaming declining birth rates on anti-feminism and (I'm guessing here) MGTOW. They're doing this because anyone who isn't anti-feminist almost universally assume that it means anti-women.

Not when that evil is omnipresent in our society and there is not yet a defined "good". For instance, I'm anti-capitalist because I know that capitalism is an evil force in our world. Talking about "pro-" would be presumptuous because that's something we should collectively build rather than me assigning a name to whatever I personally believe or glom on to somebody else who does exactly that.

I'm an anti-capitalist. I'm also an anti-feminist. These two ideologies are such a central feature of our daily lives that it is VERY meaningful to say that you are anti-feminist or anti-capitalist. I could say "I'm a humanist" but that doesn't cover the fact that I think feminism is hurting men (and boys) and that's where "anti-feminist" comes in. Sorry I think your argument is far too "Everything is Awesome". There are clear, good reasons to identify yourself as an anti-feminist.

IMO, feminism treats men like defective women. Saying men can "help themselves" by acting more feminine is just mask-off admitting this is exactly what they think. And "toxic masculinity" is just all the negative male values that were left over when all the positive male values were universalized. It's a scam. It truly is.

Well, I mean that's the whole idea behind "representation matters". People can (can, not will) take their cues from the media they consume.

Indeed, the fact that feminists don't decry women having an overall lower quality of life shows that it's not happening, since they would trumpet it from every mountaintop if it were the case. Brilliant point. The "income gap" is just another capitalist metric that clearly doesn't translate into a lower quality of life. The other reason it doesn't mean a lower quality of life is because there is no gap, not really. There's about a 5% gap that could be explained by men tend to negotiate for highe…

back in the 19s or 18s, men have power. No, the rich had power. Defining these ages by which gender had power is senseless once you think about it. Who determined what kind of society we have? The rich, and they made it so it benefited them. If men were making a society for themselves, men wouldn't be dying at their jobs or on the streets exponentially more often than women. Men wouldn't be the minority of college graduates for 40 years. Men wouldn't be the majority of the homeless and suicide d…

Women have more access to shelters. Women on average have larger social circles to whom they can turn for help. A man is more likely to financially support a woman than vice versa.
