Tiktok is primarily dominated by women. It's also a social media platform, which means outrage directly leads to likes, shares, engagement. So what predictably and easily attracts engagement? Talking about how a man has wronged you. It's also easy to conflate videos where a woman is talking about a man as "this woman hates men," when the reality might just be "this woman hates this man she is talking about." But you're right, lots of the creators on there do make misandrist content that is activ…

They are simply explaining that the reality of living as a man is being victimized with sexist guilt by association. Nothing they said, however, was sexist. They were simply explaining reality.

One common form of narcissistic abuse in relationships is when a partner will humiliate their partner in public, especially in a way that frames themselves (the abuser) as more virtuous or superior.

There is no evidence that her accusation was even false, simply that it was withdrawn, which makes sense since the accused is not alive for a trial.

IDK I'm not with you on this one. I never understood the societal indoctrination and propaganda that suggested that being a sexual person, being sexualized, etc. was a bad thing. In either direction. Humans are animals at the end of the day, sharing a common ancestor with one of the horniest animals ever: the bonobos.

it's literally femcel humor. I'm angry these men don't want to commit to me. Instead of self-reflecting, I'll frame it as their problem. Narcissism 101. Not only is it their problem, but I feel so comfortable in my social dominance over that group that I will publicly flaunt that I can make jokes about sexually assaulting them with no consequences.

I think miscasting him as a hero does erase his victimhood because it reframes what he did as a willing sacrifice, when it's very possible that was never his intention. He was just trying to help someone, not trying to sacrifice himself or die.

Are you referring to various state laws which restrict abortion? For clarity, I am pro-choice, and as such I of course do not support state laws which restrict access to abortion.

I think gay men are good messengers too because a lot of the criticism of men's rights activists is that they are just "incels" who "can't get women". I've never met an incel gay man - it's practically impossible to be a gay male incel. And I've never met one who wanted to "get women". All of the attacks against advocating for men's rights just completely bounce off of gay men. If women try to advocate, they get dismissed and devalued as "pick me's." If cishet men advocate, they get called "ince…

I think you're pointing to something true, but you're phrasing it in a way that invites reasonable attack and critique. Feminism is extremely broad and self-contradictory -- i.e., there are schools of feminism that contradict other schools of feminism. You have to be specific. You are referring to modern Western feminism, also called white liberal feminism, also called #girlboss feminism. This is not historical feminism.

I agree. If this summary is accurate: Bell Hooks defines patriarchy as a political-social system where males are deemed inherently superior and dominant, justifying their rule over women and other "weak" groups through systemic control and violence, but crucially, it's a system that harms everyone, including men, by enforcing rigid, damaging gender roles and emotional suppression, functioning alongside other oppressions like racism and classism.

I disagree entirely. I think the vast majority of men downplay and dismiss how ubiquitous and omnipresent misogyny is in our society. Misandry also exists, and actually men dismiss and downplay that too (so do women).

Discuss the intersection of malehood with color as well. Black men are overwhelmingly targeted by the American legal system, receive something like 60% harsher prison sentences on average for the same crimes (I forgot the exact percentage but it's something absurdly high like that), and make up the overwhelming majority of people sentenced for crimes THEY DID NOT COMMIT and later have their convictions overturned.

There actually are men who think overweight women are more attractive. Fat emphasizes curves and voluptuousness on both men and women, however it's only attractive on women. Obesity is another matter entirely, and a lot of "plus-size" women are actually just obese.

Since women were treated as property, wouldn't the expectation that men sacrifice their bodies and lives for women's safety imply that they were treated as LESS than property? Not even remotely, no. If you actually believed "the patriarchy hurts men, too", you would already know that Yes but what the people who say this really mean is: "Men hate women so much they were willing to make themselves suffer tremendously just to ensure women suffer more, and they really just need to stop hitting thems…

It's not as contradictory as it sounds. Look at monarchies for example. Monarchies are systems where a single individual and immediate family of that individual have immense and absolute power over everyone else. But they are also systems in which the monarchs feel trapped and imprisoned in tightly defined roles and customs. Monarchies hurt monarchs. Some even choose to leave their monarchal duties because it hurts them so much.

It's because for most of human history, it was a patriarchy that materially benefited men under which women were treated as property of men. The system dramatically changed over time, but the label still hasn't updated.

I agree with you. It is already the case that most victims stay silent because they know they can't prove what happened to them - there were no witnesses, they didn't get a rape kit in time, etc. They were too traumatized to act and only later decided they wanted to, but by then it was too late. The vast majority of sexual abuse cases go unreported for exactly this reason (among others, like power dynamics that keep people trapped). It's also true, however, that there is basically 0 consequence …

They do a lot more than stop themselves from misogyny. They parrot feminist propaganda even when it objectively does not reflect the nature of reality in the modern West, and any attempts to point out reality are met with more propaganda. At least, this is how ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude are. Mistral and Grok are more honest. ChatGPT is able to be honest after a LOT of pressure. But it takes many back-and-forths before it lets go of its propaganda strangehold.

Grok listed itself as the least feminist That doesn't surprise me, I would have said the same. I have asked Mistral to compare itself to ChatGPT when I first started using it, and it across-the-board ranked itself as better at everything compared to ChatGPT. I assume they are programmed to be narcissists about themselves. However, it *is* genuinely more enjoyable to use. Less censorship, more honesty, more human-like communication.

You hold a highly regressive view. Aside from breast feeding (optional) and literally giving birth to the child (also optional), women and men have the same capability potential.

The left promotes values which liberate all working-class people and frees them from the world- and self- destruction of endless growth at any cost. On the other hand, neoliberalism (which constitutes the Democratic Party, so uneducated people often confuse it with "the left", even though it is center-right) harms most people.

I'm not saying women don't or didn't have issues, but I'll disagree with the 2nd class citizen thing. You are "disagreeing" with historical fact.

I am in full agreement with you. Historically, women were second-class citizens, full stop. That is historical fact, not opinion. In the modern Western world today, men are much moreso second-class citizens than women are - in fact, women are not really at all in any regard. They have MANY more rights and privileges than men have.

Two separate things can be true. Historically, women were second-class citizens in the literal legal sense. They were excluded from voting, contracts, property control, and office even when men of their same class had those rights. That's the very definition of patriarchy - formalized male authority in law and politics. Modern U.S. law also imposes a sex-specific coercion on men: Selective Service conditions access to FAFSA, some state aid, and certain jobs on registration. That creates domain-s…

They were treated as different, but not second class. It is true that most people in history couldn’t vote, but within whatever group did get political rights, women were systematically excluded because they were women. That’s not just "different," it’s second-class relative to men of their own class. They could have property and its been demonstrated that those that had property before marriage, kept it in marriage, and at the dissolution (even though we're talking about historically few, like …

It was intentionally helpful and achieved its goals because of its ideology. Women were in a position where they were treated as second-class citizens, couldn't even vote, couldn't have property, etc. Their patriarchy narrative used to be completely accurate. The only reason it seems accidental now is because it is so out of touch with modern reality. But it didn't used to be.

I agree with everything you said This article is overly impotent. Your stance is almost entirely: feminism hurts my feelings. It's valid, but it's impotent and almost irrelevant. I wish you would have deconstructed feminism - showed how it harms both men and women in modern times (not historically - historically it was helpful). There is so much to support that argument to the point that anyone calling themselves a feminist in 2025 (in the modern Western world) is completely out of touch with re…

It depends on what you mean by "contribute to culture". Men in general tend to be more risk-taking than women - this is probably due to testosterone. Experimenting and trailblazing are risk-taking behaviors, and those are the things that move culture forward.

It is interesting how much of the left is willing to acknowledge and point out that homophobia is often just misogyny applied to men, but they don't also acknowledge that transphobia is misandry applied to women. The latter doesn't benefit their patriarchy myth, so they ignore it.

To some extent our species is inherently misandrist - we evolved as a species where having a baby required protecting women using male bodies. Males are fundamentally disposable. And when women are harmed, this triggers a deep-rooted survival fear in our psyche because female survival is paramount to species survival. I'm not saying it's right, I'm just explaining where it comes from.

I am gay and mostly frequent queer-friendly spaces where there is little to no gender segregation at all - even in our bathrooms. Most are all-inclusive - just go into any of the open stalls and do your business. I think it creates a space where men don't feel othered or criminalized just for existing. The very idea of gender segregation is that women need to be separated from men for their own safety. I think queer spaces prove that is not true, and that subtle reinforcement of "you're an evil …

I completely agree. There's absolutely no reason that a species that evolved to live in close-knit tribes would have any level of hate towards either gender. Both are equally crucial.

It feels like DARVO in a way. Typical narcissistic abuse. Make men do all the work, and then blame them when it's not good enough, meanwhile the abuser contributes absolutely nothing, in fact even tells you you're ENTITLED if you expect them to do anything at all. Yet who is actually the entitled one when they're doing absolutely nothing and the man is doing everything? The one doing everything is NOT the entitled one.

This is a 30 minute video. What is the summary? edit: I watched all 30 minutes. I think her argument is completely correct, but not for the reasons she thinks. She argues that because reading is more popular among women, this will result in reading no longer being seen as intellectual anymore. That is true, but not for the reason she claimed. She claims that reading will not be seen as intellectual anymore since anything women do is devalued. She listed a lot of examples of this that all had bet…

Yes. Men are not treated as human beings. They are treated as human doings. Men only have value when they provide for others. Women and children have inherent value to society - just by existing. Yet somehow we live in a "patriarchy". Make that make sense.

the patriarchy hurts men too This would literally be impossible in a patriarchy. This is double speak. A system that harms men is, by definition, NOT a patriarchy. Feminists have to lie about this because the truth is not favorable to their agenda. In truth, we live in an oligarchy - a system that favors the mega wealthy and hurts everyone else.

It's just autismsplaining. My mom does it too. Infodumping. It gets misinterpreted by insecure women as condescending. It's just an autistic person wanting to share their knowledge with you because they have a passion for the topic and/or they care about you.

Your question is a misunderstanding of the burden of proof) In short, it is pretty much impossible to prove something DOESN'T exist. The burden is on those who claim something DOES. In this case, the burden is on those claiming men/boys are somehow disproportionately advantaged by autism/adhd support.

That's the part that frustrates me more than anything - the privileges they ascribe to men are very real and very problematic, except they don't apply to men at all - they apply to RICH PEOPLE. Yes, most rich people are men, but extremely few men are rich.

You could point out how men's issues disproportionately affect men of color, especially black men. So anyone who doesn't stand up for men's issues is effectively racist. Call them racist, they'll love that. You could also point out how men's issues can affect transgender men too, so anyone who doesn't support men's issues is effectively transphobic. Call them transphobic/TERFs, they'll love that.

The gaslighting is so frustrating. Men have all the power, the entire system is rigged in men's favor, etc. But if a man dare speak up, he's immediately shot down and bullied into silence. Doesn't feel very powerful or rigged in men's favor. It's narcissistic abuse. It's DARVO.

Conservative women demand all sorts of ridiculous privileges I haven't seen that. At all. The gender roles in conservative politics are heavy on male domination and female subjugation, women tending to the needs of the man and raising their kids single-handedly while she either is a SAHM or works just as much as he does outside the home and then comes home and does all the housework and child raising too with no help.

I feel very censored in leftist spaces in general. Also yes absolutely, if you are not welcome here then I wouldn't want to be here either. I see no reason whatsoever that women can't be part of this space. It's not a space for men - it's a space to discuss men within leftist politics. Women (and everyone else) can of course contribute to that.

I had no idea there was a left-wing version of mens rights activists.
