This isn't a men's rights issue, and I can't believe you're being upvoted for being the victim of your own unreasonable expectations for the dating market. So you're not in great physical shape and you're almost 40, not particularly well off (that you speak of) and you don't want someone to demand total emotional and sexual exclusivity from you too early, but you disqualify anyone overweight, anyone over 30, anyone who isn't modest, and anyone who doesn't want to be financially dependent on you.…

My best advice would be to keep trying to meet new people. Try to find hobbies that get you out of the house, like walking/running/hiking, trading card games (Magic/Pokemon), just anything. I know this seems counterintuitive because you'll meet more racism the more you put yourself out there. But this is also the only way you'll meet people who *aren't* racist and would be cool friends for you. You'll have to keep shrugging off some awful comments, but try to have a tough skin and not let it get…

It is a little tough deciphering exactly what happened, but it definitely sounds like you guys maybe should've communicated more about your expectations before jumping into bed. That said, if the feelings you expressed were explicitly romantic, I can see why you were uncomfortable with the husband comment, so I don't think it was unreasonable to say so. Telling you to get out of your own apartment and threaten to have five guys come over and beat you up though is balls-to-the-wall bananas. The f…

Absolutely not 😂 jesus christ Trust me, I've put on more muscle in the past 2 years than I ever have and I fap as much as ever (about once a day, skipping occasionally, 3x in a day if I'm in a real mood) Ejaculating can make you a little lower energy temporarily while your body recovers, but it's not bad for you. Especially before bed, the oxytocin and other chemicals can relieve some stress and boost your mood The nofap community is kind of a cult. The reason never masturbating isn't working fo…

I think you're right that it's very complicated. Your friend has a point from an evo-psych perspective that it's more biologically advantageous for men to sleep around and for women to be choosy. This is because there's a greater biological penalty for women for a negative sexual experience, i.e. nine months carrying an undesired child. However, our culture has also evolved for millennia. The future of said child is considered more. The social consequences of male promiscuity have become much mo…

But she only sees it as an issue when a woman is affected. (I'm not misgendering this person to be an ass but only to point out it's the key factor here.) I guarantee if this woman was traveling with a biologically male partner who was "dress coded," they would not have complained. The men's dress code is not considered oppressive until the moment it's not applied only to men. I agree it's good a gendered dress code is being questioned, but the baffled response to actually being treated as a man…

Friend of mine was a male teacher who got fired for giving a hug to a girl who was crying because her dad just died. She needed a hug and he asked her first, and someone saw and complained. This stuff's just disgusting and sad.

Hmm I don't know if I'd agree about depictions in Reign. It has some bad takes peppered throughout but unfaithful men are very commonplace throughout the show as well. Mary does have an affair storyline in the second season, but a lot of characters tell her what a bad idea it is, and it does have some serious political repercussions especially as the season goes on; I didn't think Francis was necessarily expected to just accept it even though he chose not to divorce her.

This just makes me sad. Don't want to be a father and the woman does? Tough shit, you now owe child support. Want to be a father and the woman doesn't? She can abort it or try to give it away anonymously so she doesn't have to pay child support. I'm pro-choice, but this is all choice for the woman and none for the man, to say nothing of the child's interests. I'm glad at least there were a lot of comments saying how wrong it is for her to try to keep the father out of the child's life just becau…

To say nothing of the other stuff, your therapist sounds pretty sexist. Your therapy should be about helping you, not making excuses for your wife literally ruining your life. Building a life for yourself that builds you up rather than the opposite will take time, but I strongly recommend you switch therapists until you find one who will truly listen to and help strengthen you during this difficult time.

She did do a good job. But to fair, it was a Misery prequel, not Misery. And it was mostly about Annie's chokehold on her misunderstood lesbian daughter. At least, I think that's what happened in-between all the mind-numbing body snatching scenes. Caplan was the only good part of the mess that sadly was season two.

"I'm not comfortable committing to being a father right now." If she says you're not committing now and you would talk about it then, then just say that at the time of that future conversation, if you both agree to have a child, then you can donate your sperm then. There's no reason to do it now when you have not committed to having a child. But the fact that you feel rooked into this at all is very concerning that she may not be considering your wants, only hers. And for something as important …

Find a different girl to be with. Nothing negative towards her but if cuddling and affection are important to you then you should find someone with similar preferences; there are definitely girls out there who like cuddling and don't feel as negatively about sex. People can be in unhappy relationships for decades because of differences like this. I can understand if you want to connect with someone some if you don't have much dating experience, but I wouldn't pursue a long-term relationship with…

Totally. Social media is not a representation of real life. It's a unique psychological space where people air their grievances, try to gain social clout, stir up social movements...

I left Facebook a year ago and it's done wonders for my mental health. I know it's hard to do without being bored stiff, but my best advice really is to get away and log off. It's so much easier to build a better hold on your sense of self/self-confidence when you don't have so much toxic noise, even some from people you might get along with in an in-person conversation, coming into your brain all day.

"Feminism=good. Patriarchy=the root of all evil in the world." An ideology that teaches that women are the oppressed class with men responsible for much inequality and evil in the world. Somehow the mother sounds like a "real" feminist to me. As Karen Straughn worded it, "'We don't hate men. We just named everything bad after them.'"

It's a generalization, but I love the quote "men's weakness is their facade of strength; women's strength is their facade of weakness," at least as it applies to sexism today. The idea that women can choose their careers in the modern era and succeed and be paid equally to men should be empowering, but the narrative of continued oppression, even when data refutes the wage gap, is nearly impossible to let go of because the narrative itself carries power and influence.

My siblings and I grew up all kinds of fucked up in a stable 100% sexually monogamous environment with two parents who loved each other and only each other. They were also just terrible people. If they had a little more sexual happiness in their lives they probably wouldn't have been such raging dicks. Conversely, there are plenty of couples who do not fit the traditional mold or are not 100% monogamous who raise successful and well-adjusted children. There's no reason why a loving couple that m…

Yes, it's absolutely possible. Depression is partly chemical and partly circumstantial. If you go through something like an abusive relationship, it can certainly give you legitimate depression, even after the relationship is over. Life experiences can change our outlook. I'm sorry you've been through something like that and especially that your friends and family aren't supportive. I really hope you're able to find some help or that things seem better with time. Hang in there.

I kind of lean towards the evolutionary psychology route, which would dictate that displays of female sexuality are genuinely good (somewhat depending on the context) because it motivates men to work and female sexual aggression has less negative long-term effects on a tribe. Displays of male sexuality, particularly as it relates to females, however, is much more dangerous. If a man of little contribution or social worth or who is foreign has sex with one of your people's women, the potential ne…

That could be untrue though. I know I've had sex with people I didn't know well and not gone on to regret it and even gone on to have good relationships with them. If someone is pressuring for an explanation, they're an asshole. But examining it as its own issue, it's not a good way to turn someone down. Even just "we don't know each other well enough" is a real reason, while "I respect you too much" does manage to both imply one wouldn't respect them if they had sex with them and assume one kno…

If someone is asking someone else if they would like to have sex, I'm not sure why one would assume they would regret it or that saying no is somehow respecting their feelings. Again, it just seems like needlessly treating the rejection as a kindness when a simple no is all that is needed.

Sure, but those are good reasons that make a lot more sense and are less condescending than "I respect you too much to have sex with you". It's a bad way to tell someone you're not interested in having sex with them if they're interested in you regardless of gender, because it makes it sound like you're only thinking of them (when in this scenario they very well could be propositioning) instead of just saying you aren't ready or aren't interested or would rather not, which is a lot simpler and d…

Totally agree. It's stupid to shame men for having sex or to not want to have sex, but there's not really anything wrong with this tweet. It is stupid to say you respect someone too much to have sex with them. You should be able to just say you're not interested or not ready regardless of gender.

You're right, but it's hard to see where your two differing opinions turned into a fight. Depending whether she's attacking your beliefs or just disagrees, this might not be the hill to die on. It's a ten-year-old girl, children also want to be kings and queens and presidents in ways that, if true, would probably be rather oppressive.

I remember in 7th grade the boys were given worse, harder homework than the girls one week because the girls were determined to have been better behaved. The teacher changed her mind the next day, but if she hadn't I would have complained it went against the school's code that states that education will not discriminate on the basis of gender. I think you have a basis to make a similar complaint.

True, it's very extreme. I think about half of feminists I know would not think twice about having a white baby boy, while half would be a little concerned and want to make sure they raised him to recognize his privilege. Of course that's ridiculous in itself, but I don't think all feminists would think seriously about aborting a white baby boy because of that reason.

What's funny is that even if you wrote the reverse, "The more you act like a gentleman, the more she'll act like a lady," people would still say it was sexism because it pushes expectations on women or treats them like a man's object. Also lol why did she tag this #MeToo?

You do realize that everyone here feels that feminism ignores and many times even worsens serious cases of inequality and sexism against males, right? Clearly this is not your perspective, but an ideology claiming to advocate for equality does not mean it is actually doing so. Society's judgmental view of males as emotionless tools, either useable or evil but always disposable, is only strengthened by an ideology that paints them categorically as an oppressor class.

It sounds like you're ascribing a victim narrative based on your preconceived ideas about a situation where there isn't necessarily one.

It's a seductive ideology. That and people are biologically wired to protect women.

I would agree that objectification isn't sexist itself; but I think it might be sexist how the actual objectification is viewed differently depending on the gender and it therefore might manifest differently even though the act is the same.

That's a good point, sorry if I seemed militant. I get kind of confused when I think about this, I feel as though it's almost a chicken-and-egg sort of thing.

I don't consider myself an MRA but these issues do interest me. Here's my take on some of your questions. Why is feminism flawed today as opposed to earlier? In my opinion feminism has always been somewhat flawed because it doesn't ever fully explain both gender roles. It only focuses on the female half and assumes that being male is the "norm" and being female is the outlier. Today I would also say that it doesn't empower women because it's so busy telling them that they are disadvantaged. Inst…

I think about this a lot. One idea I have is utopianism. Life isn't perfect, but no one can figure out exactly why, so a simple solution is to find someone to blame. White men appear to have the most power, so the blame easily lands on their shoulders. It erases the difficult complexities of how humans interact and how life works and boils it down to a sort of concentrated misanthropy. Much like how Christianity teaches that sin is the root of all evil, this sort of mindset teaches that the root…

Again, I ask, do you really think it's the men who give two seconds of thought to Michelle Obama's arms? Or is it possible females just have a tendency, though not a rule, to focus on appearance more than men do?

Regardless, men do have to look good for business-related work as rudelyinterrupts discussed, and in my experience women…

I've never thought about that, but that's really interesting if it's true. It might have to do with how the guy has proof that he can be a provider for a woman (or even just be "there for her" if he's not providing for her financially), whereas when looking at a woman in a relationship, the emotional meaning of the attachment is more desired than the acts of service, so it's not really as transferable. (The more transferable it is, the more of its own value it destroys.) I'm just thinking out lo…

Yeah, I think while it is one of the most obviously unfair biases it doesn't affect the average man as much as the other ones will. And while people who have been screwed by the above points are still willing (and sometimes eager) to talk about it, it makes sense we don't hear as much "I molested a minor but if I were a woman I would've hardly gotten punished," etc.--I notice much more often people here post about women who have gotten off virtually scot-free, but it's harder to have personal st…

Yeah I got banned from r/rape because I participated in this subreddit, even though none of my comments there have ever been downvoted, I was never told my comments had been anything near abusive or inappropriate (because they hadn't), and I was only ever there to offer sympathy, which I did. I am not one, but a male victim of female rape would definitely be a candidate for posting in both subreddits, and I find it cruel someone like that would be banned from seeking counsel in r/rape.

Alright, political power. Uh yeah but I would argue a lot more men died in war than women in the kitchen. And war secured territory and resources for the community.

Of course women had less social power, but votes and political offices aren't everything. I don't have the numbers, but I'm pretty sure the percentage of males dying due to warfare across history is over 95%, closer to 99%. I contend the social power men were granted was an exchange for their willingness to protect and serve their women when the time came. Women having less apparent power meant they had no responsibility in these violent games, but men did. I think when peaceful eras occur and m…

It doesn't sound like you're going to make any leeway.

It is sad that with more violence happening historically against males, caring about women's wellbeing is such a predominant political issue, but caring about the wellbeing of males is seen as directly misogynist because it doesn't protect women. Yet the concept of male disposability is basically unheard of.
/r/MensRights10/06/15 09:11 AM

I feel like it really is just misandry. People have difficulty perceiving that caring about men's rights doesn't mean hating women, due to a combination of impressions about male as oppressor and male disposability. Because they incorrectly perceive that men control the universe and that women are their victims, caring about men's rights seems to be just misogyny.
