So do you consider the action genre as a whole misogynistic, because it's male protagonist dominated?

That, the 2019 in-name-only remake of Black Christmas, and The Craft: Legacy were the prime examples during that period. All box office bombs, too. The Love Witch can be added to the list (that one is particularly worth highlighting in regards to the discourse surrounding Obsession). Barbarian. The I Know What You Did Last Summer requel. The Substance.

That's not misandrist in and of itself, however. The original Evil Dead films had a male hero, Ash. A couple of the Friday the 13th and A Nightmare on Elm Street films had Final Boys, off the top of my head.

It was always operating on a faulty and biased "men = oppressor class, women = oppressed class" model which would evolve into patriarchy theory. And as is true now, the 'female supremacists' you mention were the ones in power positions running the show.

The history of voting rights is more complex and nuanced than typical discourse allows, and not anywhere near as black and white as commonly presented. Women actually did vote and own property before universal suffrage was granted, and importantly male suffrage was also a thing - the average man did not initially have the right to vote, either.

And of course its predominantly men, but how much of that is due to them being seen as a job for men? Where are all the campaigns and initiatives to encourage women into those occupations, like the ones to get girls into STEM and for more SheEOs and further the already present female domination in education?

But, to me, it is completely non-real. Need only read some old literature, and you see that the role of women throughout history was never as weak little obedient servants, as the feminists would claim. Don’t believe me, ask the Greeks (Athena) Shakespeare (1500s), any time in history. See also: Women as a Force in History, a book written in 1946 by historian Mary R. Beard which "challenges the traditional feminists' view and argues that women had always been active agents in history alongside m…

Comparing like for like, if we're going by official crime stats and not self-report studies and surveys, it's true. These two fully sourced blog entries from Data Gone Odd elucidate on the topic pretty well: As it turns out, only 7.8% of rape reports are true.

Trump is not a feminist institution. He is so far removed from any other comparable politician and is not fair to use in this context. Under the current administration in the US VAWA still exists. The gender gap in the criminal justice system that favours female offenders by over 60% still exists. Women are still not required to sign up for Selective Service. Men still have zero reproductive rights. Women still have more rights and privileges than men. It's not as if a Republican or Trumpian gov…

It's an example of leaders in power positions, like presidents of first world countries, following feminist ideology and prioritising the needs of girls and women over boys and men, which also includes things like homelessness, education, health, socio-economic issues. I don't think you can separate the gendered or ideological aspect from an overly general critique of billionaires and class wars, especially in a space like this sub, because it's part of that very topic.

It doesn't matter what gender the people with obscene power have they will almost always be the root cause of lower class issues. Gender may not matter but ideology certainly does. Perfect example: VAWA (Violence Against Women Act) is a federal law the United States that was partly spearheaded by then Senator Joe Biden (who re-authorised it in 2022 when he was in the White House) and passed under the Clinton administration in 1994, as was the creation of the Office on Violence Against Women - no…

You’re never gonna have a good faith conversation with feminists on social media because the algorithm rewards negativity like I also said on this thread. This isn't "conversations on social media." Neither are most of these examples. That's what feminism is doing in real life.

The fact that people think it is reasonable because "well, duh, it's a women organization" The thing is, they're not. They are a branch of the UN at large. And that UN are responsible for hundreds of thousands of male deaths via discriminatory, gendered negligence in tragedy stricken areas; they purposefully falsify the data in their Gender Development Index reports, and support things like the Duluth Model.

I'm not saying I think every single feminist is evil incarnate, I'm just pointing out that comparing generalising feminists as "bad" isn't the same as generalising men as "bad." Even if you personally disagree with said generalisation one is far more egregious and unethical than the other.
/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates01/07/26 08:36 PM

I know not all feminists are bad, just like how all men aren’t. This is a common false equivalence. You choose to be a feminist, but you don't choose to be a man (or a woman). Following an ideology isn't fairly comparable to an immutable biological characteristic that comprises of half the world's population.

In a word, yes. If you're fine with video I can recommend Janice Fiamengo's 'Fiamengo File' which goes through the movement's history from its origins. It was a redo of a previous iteration of a much longer series which had been removed from YouTube for a period of time.

In addition, federal law VAWA in the US (and other, similar initiatives) discriminate against male victims in a variety of ways. In the UK "male victims of domestic abuse, rape, stalking and so-called honour-based violence are grouped in the same category as female victims."

I think the issue is that "the crazies" are the ones who often have been, and are, the prominent figures in the movement who are in positions of influence and power. Sally Miller Gearhart, for example.

I'm aware of the state-by-state variances but I still find it troubling that an outdated, gendered definition remains like this in any official sense and the knock on effect it has on categorisation, as you point out. Most states no longer treat the "rape" as something that can only happen to females. Due to the malleable application of a penetration requirement, I think the remaining issue here is that female sexual predators/offenders are not being categorised and charged accordingly, not that…

If only this were true. The UK's legal definitions are worse, but only slightly. The general definition in the US still specifies penetration, thus putting the onus on male perpetrators and excluding the most common form of female perpetrated rape (albeit in the US rape and sexual assault laws do vary from state to state, but this is the general legal definition): "The penetration, no matter how slight, of the vagina or anus with any body part or object, or oral penetration by a sex organ of ano…

None of what you're describing here constitutes a "culture" though. That's like saying because some people commit murder (despite murder being against the law) we live in a "murder culture." I also can't help but notice the majority of your examples were framing men as the guilty party.

Up until fairly recently this wasn't all that uncommon in the celebrity sphere - there's a list of female celebrities who have been quoted in the past denouncing the feminist label (most since changed their tune) but alas at some point in the 2010s, no doubt largely due to the rise of social media, it became the mainstream default position it is today, which we're only now starting to see notable pushback against because of how bad things got.

This is true, but on the other hand there is a great irony that so many of the most prominent men's advocates are women. Even though they're generally slandered as having "internalised misogyny" or being "pick me's" or gender traitors or "double agents of the patriarchy" (yes, I've seen that one) it certainly debunks the narrative.

It was certainly advantageous to be a man (in many ways) 6+ decades ago, and for most of human history. Men still would have been the ones fighting in wars and conflicts, doing the majority of hard labour jobs (which up until the Industrial Revolution would have been the most common forms of work for people outside of the nobility and aristocracy) and I'm sure I've seen historical evidence that the imbalance of male/female suicide is not a recent phenomenon, either.

Numerous examples could be provided spanning several categories violence, but for simplicity's sake let's take a look at domestic violence. Back in the 70s, rates of domestic homicide between men and women were almost equal (pgs. 90 and 91). It was only from the early 80s that the number of men being killed by their wives/girlfriends began to decline noteworthily (though the emergence of domestic violence shelters in the 70s pioneered by Erin Pizzey also likely contributed to this) which was rig…

I don't like it when people generalize men by the apex of capitalism and I don't appreciate when we generalize feminism by an apex that we find unfavorable. Comparing generalising billions of men based on immutable characteristics is not remotely equitable to generalising a much smaller pool of individuals (women and men) based on their choice to align with an ideology built on a foundation of bigotry and lies.

Wife beating was not as acceptable as you claim: A charivari, also variously called a skimmington ride and riding the stang, is a historical folk custom expressing public disapproval of personal behavior. Domestic violence was a common motive for a charivari. A man who beat his wife in southern England early in the nineteenth century could awaken at night to a noisy crowd, dancing in a frenzy around a bonfire outside his door. They would be "a motley assembly with hand-bells, gongs, cow-horns, w…

The rape laws is bad, but there is at least the legally equal crime of Causing Sexual Activity without Consent which carries the same punishments. In theory, however: One of the main reasons stopping them from pursuing a prosecution is the legal definition of rape. Prior to 1994, UK law asserted that rape could only be committed by a man against a woman. In 1994, Stonewall (the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Trans charity) had the law changed to recognise that men can also rape men. This remains the…

Class is a material hierarchy and is defined by its relationship to capital and resources. Men and women are not classes. And yet that is essentially what is claimed in the Declaration of Sentiments: "The history of mankind is a history of repeated injuries and usurpation on the part of man toward woman, having in direct object the establishment of an absolute tyranny over her. To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world." Men = oppressor class. Women = oppressed class.

A charivari, also variously called a skimmington ride and riding the stang, is a historical folk custom expressing public disapproval of personal behavior. Domestic violence was a common motive for a charivari. A man who beat his wife in southern England early in the nineteenth century could awaken at night to a noisy crowd, dancing in a frenzy around a bonfire outside his door. They would be "a motley assembly with hand-bells, gongs, …

It's disproportionately high compared to straight and gay male couples, showing evidence that domestic violence is not specifically a male issue. If it was, lesbian couples - two women, no men present - should have astronomically low rates of DV, and gay male couples - two men, no women present - should be a lot higher. And that's in addition to all the studies with data revealing in straight couples women are the majority perpetrators of unilateral violence.

The issue with your comment is false equivalence. Feminism is not a gender, it is an ideology and a movement that one chooses to believe in and follow. And importantly, not all feminists are women, and not all women are feminists. Being critical of, opposing, or "hating" feminism does not = "hatred [of] women."

In the United States, more perpetrators of child abuse were women than men. In 2022, about 213,876 perpetrators of child abuse were women, compared to 199,617 male perpetrators.

Not in the UK; our rape laws use very clear gendered terminology. The words 'rape' and 'sexual assault' are used in the law to mean specific crimes. These legal meanings might not match the way you use the words yourself.

Assault by penetration Assault by penetration is when someone puts an object or any part of the body other than their penis (for exampl…

Feminism fights for equality by putting out fires on the female side of things, primarily. It's kind of in the name. Not sure why you would expect otherwise.

Unfortunately it's not just Australia; this narrative is routinely pushed globally, and it's just as untrue in the vast majority of places. According to UNODC statistics I believe there are 7 countries out of a list of over 200 in which women are slightly more likely to be victims of homicide or violent crime (and Australia was not one of them).

False accusations of sexual assault account for about 2-10% of all sexual assault cases, but it's hard to get an accurate number because in some cases there isn't enough evidence to convict (which doesn't necessarily prove that SA occured one way or the other) and it's determined as "unfounded". Being falsely convicted of SA and incarcerated is an even lower percentage. While 2-10% isn't nothing, it's pretty low when compared with the overall occurrence of SA.

Good point.

This annoys me to no end because I'm positive I've seen it numerous times and yet cannot find or recall a source, but I'm fairly certain that the infamous 2-10% number that gets bandied about for false accusations is almost exactly the same for proven and/or convicted rapes.

But I remember people pointing out the similarity, essentially saying "Well if you think 2-10% is low and nothin…

One sided, so in these majority of cases the woman is the one initiating/committing the abuse. The general consensus when it comes to domestic violence is that in most cases the abuse is mutual I.E. the man and the woman are abusing each other, however when it comes to the cases where the abuse is coming from only one of the two it's majorly the woman doing it, not the man.

Sexual violence, including rape, is a pervasive problem on college campuses in the United States. Is it really, study?: The campus rape industry's central tenet is that one-quarter of all college girls will be raped or be the targets of attempted rape by the end of their college years (completed rapes outnumbering attempted rapes by a ratio of about three to two). The girls' assailants are not terrifying strangers grabbing them in dark alleys but the guys sitting next to them in class or at the …

One of the issues when it comes to this topic - which I have written about before at length - is that when it comes to prevalence in film and television: male nudity is more commonly used in a comedic context, whereas female nudity tends to be used in a sexual context. The crux of this is that it is used as one of the myriad of excuses for why it's "totally different" and therefore either not sexualisation/objectification - or even a '''Male Power Fantasy''' - regardless of how attractive the ac…

Although it wasn't specifically named as such back then, the basis of patriarchy theory existed from the very beginning.

It's false equivalence, regardless. Men make up half the world's population and being born male is immutable - no baby chooses its gender; you're simply born one way or the other. Comparatively, there are most certainly not billions of feminists, and being a feminist is a choice - you choose to call yourself a feminist and follow that ideology. Being a feminist is not a genetic trait. Generalising the former is not remotely the same as generalising the latter.

These are not really problems that men need to deal with. You have proof of this, I trust? Statistically speaking women are more likely to be victimised by someone they know, not a stranger on the street. Men are more likely to be victims of random assaults and street crime. Campaigns like the one posted in the OP further contribute to spreading fear and paranoia in the face of reality, and the end result is bad for both men and women.

It's not. Sadly, even among circles like this such concessions are seen as necessary in order to get the point out there, period, without immediate dismissal.

So many misrepresentations, half-truths, and outright lies are part of the prevailing, accepted narrative for these issues that even when presented with literal facts and figures, so many people have the aforementioned falsehoods so deeply ingrained that they experience a sort of short-circuit in their brains that disallows them from accepting the new information.

Considering women cannot be charged with rape throughout the UK we know those stats are biasedly skewed without even looking at them. u/griii2 I think u/mr_ogyny posted what you might be looking for. Or at least one example: They’re clarifying because male victims are categorised under ‘violence against women and children’ (should be girls) as well.

Spend any time in feminist spaces, and it’s easy to start to hate women and girls.

You are correct.

When it comes to siding with professors and sociologists, or angry online spaces designed to radicalize people, I know who I’m siding with. The online spaces. And they say feminists are evil. "Online spaces": The current president of the United States, his VP, the prime minister of Canada, and last PM of New Zealand are all avowed feminists. Feminist initiatives lead to the introduction of the Violence Against Women Act in the US which discriminates against male victims. Feminist researchers inf…

The point still stands. You've got a few dissidents who are somewhat prominent figures in the movement, others who were former followers and ended up renouncing their affiliation altogether due to mistreatment, then all of the rest - the leaders who push all the misandry in politics, academia, education, and media, and the silent (alleged) majority who do little to nothing to vocally challenge, debunk, or deplatform the hierarchy of the movement which espouses such rhetoric.

Hoff Sommers, along with Camille Paglia, have basically been excommunicated by the movement. They may still consider themselves feminists, but they are not respected or well regarded by the movement at large because of their dissidence. Dr. Warren Farrell, who is considered by many as the 'father of the men's rights movement' used to be, quite literally, a professional feminist who served on the New York board of NOW (National Organisation for Women) in the 70s, but was outsed for his advocacy f…

Early, modern, almost everything in between, has been anti-male. The entire ideology is based on a one-sided, erroneous view of history that essentially frames men as an oppressor class and women as an oppressed class with little to no nuance. In 1848, The Declaration of Sentiments - widely regarded as the foundational document of the feminist movement - was published, which states the following: "The history of mankind is a history of repeated injuries and usurpation on the part of man toward w…

Women are more likely to be victimised by someone they know, not some rando on the street or hiding in the bushes. The almost exclusive focus on and sensationalising of female victims of crime and assault skews perceptions of these issues massively, which leads to the spread of misinformation and paranoia, and the diminishment of male victims across the board.

Not the same. Men's rights advocacy is not unified by any singular ideology or doctrine the way feminism is and always has been, and you'll be hard pressed to find examples of men's rights organisations or groups actively opposing women's rights the way feminism has since its inception.

Bingo. The distinction must always be reiterated. A single ideology has no business serving as the umbrella term for something so multifaceted, and the fact that it successfully managed to usurp the concept needs constant challenging.

Erin never actually officially identified as a feminist.

It's flat out factually incorrect. Men make up the vast majority of homicide victims across the globe, and are more likely to victims of violent crime - particularly random assaults and street crime.

Not to take away from providing all these studies and sources but it would be better to use the title in the link rather than posting random URLs, so one knows exactly what they are, e.g. A cross-national study on gender differences in suicide intent Men’s health in the United States: a national health paradox How therapists work with men is related to their views on masculinity, patriarchy, and politics Etc.

There is some truth in the fact that experimental medications are tested on men, because of the huge potential risks to any unborn children if the women happen to be pregnant. Even with screening, getting pregnant in the middle of a trial is always a possibility. Completely understandable, I feel, however there is data that shows such claims are - shocker - exaggerated: 'Did Medical Research Routinely Exclude Women? An Examination of the Evidence' These analyses indicate that before 1990, women …

Do they guage these amounts based on the ex-spouses average income or something? Or is each case individual based on what's being demanded versus what the lawyers manage to settle? I've never been clear on that. Because you're quite right; it's an absurdly high amount of $$$ for so-called "child support."

Nice find. Most of the data and statistics on this topic are centred around America, even though the UK has far more explicitly sexist rape laws; it's good to have a source for this side of the pond, too. Interesting to note that the biases towards female sex offenders in the British justice system has a negative impact on female victims, also. You'd think that'd at least give them pause but apparently not...

Because women are being randomly snatched off the streets and sold into sex trafficking rings multiple times a day. I'm sure that's statistically sound. Speaking of statistics, men make up almost 80% of homicide victims globally according to UNODC and are more likely to be victims of random assault and crime, so they're clearly not "safer."

You can hate modern feminism and be disgusted by most modern feminists yet still not be anti-woman. FTFY. But yes, the monolithic conflation of feminism = women really needs to die. It is a specific ideology that people choose to believe and align with, not a genetic trait or immutable characteristic.

How ironic that your aspersive rhetoric is actually more than agreeable, here. Bit of an own goal. Considering that these days the bar for alleged misogyny can be so low it should come with a handful of ''' attached, and more importantly the lack of similar calls for fining failure to deal with misandrist abuse as well.

Feminism isn't an enemy or an obstacle to Human rights I think you're a tad naïve when it comes to feminism. Believe me, a lot of the people here and on other similar subs have done the leg work on the subject - and then some. Misandry, along with a whole host of other issues, was baked into feminism from the start. It was never truly about "gender equality." Equity, maybe. The entire ideology is based on a one-sided, erroneous view of history that essentially frames men as an oppressor class an…

Final Girl means the one who survives the movie and defeats the killer. And most slasher movies had evenly mixed casts of girls and guys who found themselves on the chopping block. I can see from your cherry picked response dodging the long list of successful, revered actresses from the earliest days of Hollywood that debunked your initial claim that this isn't an exchange worth continuing.

Also, as this is Scotland, it's pertinent to note that it is one of many countries in which women legally cannot be charged with rape: 1Rape (1)If a person (“A”), with A's penis— (a)without another person (“B”) consenting, and (b)without any reasonable belief that B consents, penetrates to any extent, either intending to do so or reckless as to whether there is penetration, the vagina, anus or mouth of B then A commits an offence, to be known as the offence of rape.

I wouldn't say so in this specific context, but they do play a large part in upholding the double standards surrounding female-on-male rape in the legal sense, which contributes to societal awareness of the issue, which in turn can lead to this mentality. That's a little more important than pathetic douchebags leaving comments on social media.

I don't see how acknowledging that men were also victims of the witch hunts and trials throughout history, a phenomena almost uniquely attributed to female victims, is comparable, which I feel I explained with: Not a majority, but not an insignificant number either, especially considering the witch trials (along with the concept of witches, in general) have long been attributed to evidence of mass historical "misogyny" and uniformly focus on women and women alone. In addition to the fact that yo…

'Kilt-wearing barmen forced to ditch tartan Scottish dress because of '''frisky''' female customers': Kit Fraser, the owner of Hootananny in Inverness, described it as "pure sexism".

Innocent until proven guilty is important. Yes it is, except we have evidence of Heard admitting to abuse and taunting Depp about it, long before either trial actually occurred. And she is the one with a history of domestic assault against a former partner, which was deflected by accusations of misogyny and homophobia against the arresting officer... who is a woman and a lesbian.

The various witch trials throughout history are a pretty good example of this. Let's take the most famous one: Salem. 19 people were ultimately executed in Salem for witchcraft, 5 of whom were men. 6 if you include Giles Corey, who was 'pressed' to death (a torture method) for refusing to plead guilty.

Numerous accounts of her story say that her admittance to medical school was a joke, that she was ostracised and harassed by the male staff and students, and even the townspeople.

From an interview with Koss on a radio program about men raped by women, by reporter Theresa Phung. Some excerpts: Theresa Phung: "Dr. Koss says one of the main reasons the definition does not include men being forced to penetrate women is because of emotional trauma, or lack thereof." Dr. Koss: "How do they react to rape. If you look at this group of men who identify themselves as rape victims raped by women you'll find that their shame is not similar to women, their level of injury is not simi…
