Yes men just randomly bring up circumcision when they see a woman. Male behavior.

So much projection. It's feminists, not all, but enough (sound familiar?), who jump in when men start to talk about our experiences. It's (some) feminists who harp on how they have it worse. It's (some) feminists who pull fire alarms at men's rights meetings.

Everywhere that men's shelters are proposed, they are vehemently opposed.

Some even become women's shelters!

I just don't buy the "whataboitism attack" misandrists bring up whenever they get called out on their BS.

How terminally online is this person if they think this is what actually happens lmfao

-BatrickPateman- · 2024-09-16T01:26:59+00:00

It is actually usually the other way around.

AigisxLabrys · 2024-09-16T01:41:12+00:00

Dear misandrists, stop projecting all of your faults onto men.

I see whataboutism pretty much exclusively the opposite way.

I do concede that this may be biased because I talk about men's issues more than women's.

Sick-of-you-tbh · 2024-09-16T06:38:14+00:00

The first sentence is waaay too level headed and normal, it usually starts with “Life as a women is hard, so here’s why men are evil-“ then the other stuff by men gets said in return.

And on the flip side whenever men dare to talk about men’s issues for a change instead of continuing to ignore them and only focus on women’s struggles, then they receive the counter arguments and whataboutism

thereslcjg2000 · 2024-09-16T03:59:00+00:00

The projection is astounding. I genuinely don’t think I’ve EVER seen anyone say that men have it worse than women in every way. I’ve seen the reverse many times.

Also, I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again - why the hell do we have to talk about men’s and women’s issues as separate conversations? Gender expectations are so intertwined that in my opinion, you can deal with them far more effectively if you take both sides into account. I don’t understand why so many people want to view their issues in isolation like this.

Let me try...

Person A (Talking about their gender): As a [man/woman], I feel like societal expectations for [men/women] can be very [negative adjective].
Person B (Dismissing): Uhh, what about the [other gender]?
Person B (Dismissing): So you think the [other gender] has/have it easy? [Dismissive laughter/comment]
Person A: I'm actually just talking about [Person A's gender] right now. That should be allowed.
Person B (Dismissing): Typical! When can we talk about the [other gender]?
Person B (Dismissing): The [other gender] has/have it worse in every way, so you should focus on that! What about [stereotypical hardship for the other gender]? [Person A's gender] is/are always [negative verb].

Yeah, I've seen that used a ton by women and men, to diminish the points made by the other.

"I, a representative of the most privileged demographic in the modern world, would like now to explain my horrible oppression to these strawmen I just set up"

"but what about literal fucking genital mutilation of babies"

Why do they always draw noses like this?

Weak_Working8840 · 2024-09-16T14:00:20+00:00

If only that was how women brought up their issues.

Another caricature of all women being perfect with no accountability for the misbehavior of so many

Yepitsme2020 · 2024-09-16T14:13:33+00:00

Another opposite day I see. All we need to do is point at how Feminists have shown up at mens groups on college campuses to protest men having a space to discuss their own hardships.... Showed up with signs, and even yelled at the speaker (Who was a woman) and told her that men don't have any real issues, so this meeting was pointless. (Yes really)

"But you're a CIS White Male" is used as an argument/rebuttal if that tells you anything.

Whoever penned that little comic somehow managed to get it bass ackwards.

ChargeProper · 2024-09-16T08:16:43+00:00

Pure projection, because its the other way around language and everything

HumansDisgustMe123 · 2024-09-16T11:00:08+00:00

Obvious projection. I've seen, liked, and supported countless posts and discussions about women's issues. I draw the line when those same issues are used as a bargaining chip to make sweeping negative tribalist generalisations about any gender, which unfortunately happens far too often.

There's plenty of women out there who want to talk about their issues, who genuinely want to improve things for women like themselves, then there's the hateful minority (who are still a significant quantity) who don't actually give a shit about women's safety and only bring it up as a way to spread loosely-targeted vitriol at anyone who identifies as male. That same reductive narcissistic minority then becomes incredibly defensive when people call them out on their bullshit.

This sub and LWMA are prime examples of this. Women have come to both of these subs before many many times, and by refraining from negative stereotypes or accusatory language, have been welcomed kindly and listened to. Even though this is considered a male space, we have often positively entertained discussions with women about women's issues, and we've fought against the minority of people in these subs who propagate misogynistic stereotypes and content. A quick look at either sub will reveal misogynistic content heavily downvoted by long time subscribers.

The problem though is with people who think their trauma or their anger entitles them to generalise. That's where subs like these draw the line. There are male abuse survivors out there including myself, and there are male rape victims. When we don't moderate our words and use lazy reductive generalisations, we're actively conflating those victims with abusers and rapists, so misandrists shouldn't be surprised that they get a lot of hostility when they're actively dredging up and amplifying trauma for countless men.

oh right...

try this "what about men" reply in any women subreddit and count the seconds before you get banned...

the situation presented here simply does not exist

Roge2005 · 2024-09-16T19:11:36+00:00

Nice strawman

zombies-and-coffee · 2024-09-16T23:45:37+00:00

This reminds me of a protest in (I think?) Toronto outside of a seminar about men's mental health. Specifically, I think it was about suicide? Anyway, the point is that a bunch of feminists were protesting right outside the lecture hall this seminar was happening in, screeching so loudly that they could be heard inside. One of them pulled a fire alarm and so the building had to be evacuated, which they cheered for.

Outside, as people were waiting to either go back inside or for their rides to pick them up, these feminists were getting in their faces and calling them all sorts of horrible names. One man was asked something like "Why do you hate women, you male scum?" and he, without even looking at this woman, said he was there to find closure about why his friend had committed suicide.

It's been forever since I saw the video about the protest and I have no clue if it even still exists. It just makes me sick that anytime something like this happens, nothing or very little happens to properly punish the women who do it. Men are just expected to sit there quietly until a woman decides he is needed.

notarobot4932 · 2024-09-17T08:39:04+00:00

I feel like this happens a lot more to people that bring up men’s issues lol

siyun1 · 2024-09-16T05:54:12+00:00

I've seen both this situation and the reverse. Not sure why a comic showing this situation is being viewed as misandry; it's definitely happened.

AlternativeMix5 · 2024-09-18T05:27:07+00:00

You can't even say anything remotely venting as a guy without hearing "womp womp" from women. But all I ever hear is their bullshit. Women get so many outlets, the internet doesn't stomp out their voice, and they get supported all the time. They can make toxic anti men posts all over the internet and get praise for it like it's empowering. But as soon as a guy tries to vent or say he's depressed in a post on FB or something, here comes a group of women coming to kick them while their down on Every. Single. Post., they give us absolutely nothing.

I think this is a satirical comment pointing out what it would look like in a hypothetical role reversal…
