Thousands of dads are left in shock as DIY paternity tests soar. Up to 30,000 tests are being performed every year, says Alphabiolabs. In the UK about 750,000 babies are born every year. Feminists want the test to be illegal without the written consent of the mother.

Mother-of-two, 40, falsely branded a neighbour a sex offender because he 'made too much noise building a guinea pig hutch in his garden'. It seems for many women if they do not get their way they make a false sex allegation knowing a man is not protected by the law.

Another example of toxic femininity is #VelmaGate - where celebrity Mindy Kaling admitted to kissing men without consent on national television! HBO Max is responsible for enabling this assaulter!

https://youtu.be/H9e0Y_AMR7I

[–][deleted] 53 points54 points55 points 3 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

I might be the only one, but can Mindy just go away, and allow us to “miss her”?

[–]Dr_RxRedpill 26 points27 points28 points 3 years ago* (0 children) | Copy Link

We need to do the following:

  • Get video viral and get #VelmaGate trending.

Like subscribe and comment. It’s going to help boost the rank and get more eyeballs on our cause.

This is important so the execs pay attention and consider terminating Kaling’s contract with the network for her misdeeds.

  • Encourage people to cancel their HBO Max subscriptions.

Educate the populace so they see that the network employs crooks like Kaling.

Together, we can expose these charlatans and misandrists!

Total piece of shit this lady.

[–]chasum_ 49 points50 points51 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Note the quotes around "toxic", basically conveying the newspaper does not agree with the views expressed in the complaints. Do they use quotes when writing about toxic masculinity?

[–]furchfur[S] 80 points81 points82 points 3 years ago (8 children) | Copy Link

Nice to see Toxic femininity recognised.

Ah yes because People like Ethan Crumbley, Payton Gendron, and Ramzi Yousef are in Prison because of Wahmen, I got it. Before you call me a Feminist troll just look at my Post History to see that I’m not.

[–]Low_Philosophy_8 23 points24 points25 points 3 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link

Wouldnt matter even if you were right. Name dropping 3 people as some sort of gotcha to a broad general statement is maliciously disengenous.

[–]NoResearch2479 10 points11 points12 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

You're not trolling, just an emotional fool. Science cares about generalities, not anecdotes

[–]Ivanhunterjo1991 16 points17 points18 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

If toxic masculinity is a thing then the opposite should also be a thing

[–]ArgueLater 34 points35 points36 points 3 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link

Gendering toxicity was never cool, and seemingly never should be. But I guess some people need these things.

[–]AbysmalDescent 8 points9 points10 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

For me, toxic femininity is any toxic traits that women can effectively get away with because they are women. They are toxic traits that are downplayed or ignored when they are done by women, and there are a LOT of toxic traits that are downplayed or ignored when held by women. And, on the other side, toxic masculinity would be toxic traits that are accepted when done by men, but there isn't much of that anymore.

It doesn't really make sense to gender toxicity in the way that feminists have for the past decade or so, but in this context it kind of matters. Toxicity is a problem, regardless of gender, but gender can be a huge factor in how that toxicity is normalized too.

[+]NoResearch2479 -17 points-16 points-15 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Is that because women are at fault?

[–]Greg_W_Allan 3 points4 points5 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

These shows are designed for female audiences and are exactly the cesspit one would expect.

[–]wanderloop99 2 points3 points4 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

anybody who watch this show needs help

[–]JasenBorne 3 points4 points5 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

what's worse is that in the UK you just walk down the street to find dozens of women who are obviously trying to copy those chicks on love island. hard to get a wood around here, ykwim?

[–]PactScharp 2 points3 points4 points 3 years ago (17 children) | Copy Link

WHO CARES ABOUT THIS STUPID SHOW???

I'm sorry, but if trash like this is now the extent of male discrimination, we're really grasping for straws.

[–]Trev6ft5 6 points7 points8 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Normally I would agree with you to some degree, it's the fact that OFCOM got complaints is the interesting thing about it

[–]SwoleFeminist 24 points25 points26 points 3 years ago (6 children) | Copy Link

I love how when feminists complain about stuff, responses like yours saying "who cares?!?!" and shaming people for giving a shit are nowhere to be found. Probably why they always get their way.

[+]PactScharp -9 points-8 points-7 points 3 years ago (5 children) | Copy Link

Yes and we should be better than feminists, to whine about stupid "reality TV" garbage that in no way is going to affect men's issues.

Everyone who participates in these types of shows is a default narcissist & incredibly shallow/fake. This has no bearing on "men's issues" as a whole.

It's just toxic people being toxic on a TV show that thrives on showing toxicity.

[–]Bascome 8 points9 points10 points 3 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link

Right, and no one watches so it influences absolutely no one.

[+]PactScharp -8 points-7 points-6 points 3 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link

There's two groups of people who watch this garbage... the first group watches because they like the "fast food" equivalent of TV. As in, they know it's trash, they know it's stupid, they know it's toxic, but the drama makes it "entertaining". I'm not sure this group of people will be "influenced" by these stupid people's actions on the show.

The second group are delusional people who think this show is an accurate reflection of real life, or at least look up to it. Sure they may be "influenced", but these people are retarded by default, so they're a lost cause as far as I'm concerned.

I mean, with your logic, we should be getting furious over literally EVERY small little thing, no matter how petty, because "it might influence someone".

What happened to knowing that there are stupid people who are going to do stupid things? Not everything is going to go the way we like, and that's part of life.

But to put this garbage on the same level as men not getting the same reproductive/parental/genital integrity rights, or men being demonized and pathologized at institutional levels, even by people paid to "help" them (social scientists) and so on... that's just insane.

[–]Fearless-File-3625 6 points7 points8 points 3 years ago* (1 child) | Copy Link

Who is putting them on the same level?

People can focus on multiple issues are the same time, even if they are all "important".

[–]PactScharp -2 points-1 points0 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

I'm sorry but if the extent of your problems in life is how another man was treated by one woman on a reality TV show, you are reaching haaaaaaaaard.

I don't give two shits about micro aggressions. This is a feminist mindset that we should reject.

[–]XoXSmotpokerXoX 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Well said, fighting for equality does not mean being equally stupid.

[–]bottleblank 4 points5 points6 points 3 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

Lots of people do, which is why it's a problem.

You may not like or care about the show, and neither do I, but there are millions of women out there who do, and if they're being led to believe that it's OK to behave badly towards men by it being unchallenged on national TV, then that's something that needs to be changed.

Most of us wouldn't approve of media depicting men abusing women in a positive light, so it shouldn't be acceptable (or even praised) the other way around.

[–]PactScharp -1 points0 points1 point 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

There being a toxic woman on the show is not the same thing as the show portraying this woman in a positive light.

[–]NohoTwoPointOh 1 point2 points3 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

No shit. The constant “Why is this OK” posts were tolerable. But reality shows?

[+]DamianLillard0 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

It’s entertaining lol

Why do you care what people watch?

[–]PactScharp -1 points0 points1 point 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

I don't care and you literally proved my point. People watch this garbage bc it's entertaining. Fair enough. But then don't complain about the "drama" of it all.

That's just silly.

[–]ArgueLater 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link

Well, mens issues are pretty well explored by now. There isn't really much new or unheard of to say. But the subreddit exists, and people are bored.

This is -- IMO -- the part where any group starts to decline. All the major points have been made, and it's kind of just an echo chamber for them. Too much talking.

[–]PactScharp 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link

Men's issues are completely NOT explored and you're delusional if you think otherwise. There are certain "echochambers" where men's issues are brought up a lot (this sub being an obvious example) but what does that matter in the real world?

Absolutely no one knows about the fact that men are the majority of victims of all violent crime in every country on the planet throughout all of recorded history. And that's just one example. You could just as easily say the same thing about MGM, paternity fraud, no male reproductive/parental rights, etc etc.

The average person knows NOTHING about this... yet the average person has heard all about how "women earn less money for the exact same job" even though this isn't even remotely true in the first place.

The points "for men" have never been properly made, at least not to an audience that cared/listened. Men's issues get ZERO mainstream coverage. Absolutely NONE.

[–]ArgueLater 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

You misinterpreted what I was saying.

I'm not saying "everyone knows," I'm saying that this subreddit knows pretty much every big issue already. People are getting bored of talking about those and moving onto lesser issues cause they're shiny and new.

[–]PactScharp 1 point2 points3 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Okay, in that case I agree with you. My biggest issue with this sub is that there are clearly a lot of young men/teenagers here who complain about petty stuff like this UK Love Island nonsense.... it's just like, who cares about this? This isn't meaningful "discrimination". It's just one toxic woman. The outrage over stupid nonsense is incredibly childish imo.
