Ofcourse there are bad men out there but most of us men are honorable and forgiving. We try and be the bigger person, often toleratating a lot of bad behavior. Most of us manage our anger and aggression and are careful that we don't hurt others. And this has been used against us not just by the societies we live in but sadly also with support from modern feminists and even a lot of women who aren't feminists. Let me provide examples below:
We try and be the bigger person - A woman can act in a very childish and immature way, lash out at us and be emotionally hurtful. All she needs to redeem herself is one empty statement of apology. 'Sorry I didn't mean to be rude. I was really upset' and then repeat the same thing with another man in future. Society expects we will forgive and look beyond that incident as we need to understand her feelings/understand her situation. How our feelings got hurt in that interaction is of little significance. In some cases even the man himself will try to remain calm and diffuse the situation as if being the rock and emotionally stable is the sole responsibility of men and women are expected/allowed to lose emotional control. She was feeling stressed/scared/anxious/vulnerable (one of these or multiple) and so she lashed out is what we are told. There is no shortage of people justifying a women's hurtful words. There is no shortage of people criticizing a man's hurtful words.
Most of us act in honorable ways - If we don't, other men don't see us as 'Men'. Notice however women don't have to act honorable to us in order to be seen as 'Women' by other women.
We need to control our anger and aggression so we are not hurtful to others - What does society tell women to control about themselves? Nothing. In fact a woman can fully unload while emotionally hurting a man without any need to control. Many women instead of asking her to control her behavior will tell you 'Maybe she was really upset with you'.
Modern feminists engage in double standards all the time and many women stay conveniently quiet (unless confronted) because those double standards benefit them as well.
Men's rights will never be taken seriously enough until we men understand the below and stand firm on this
Valid criticism of women and feminism isn't misogyny just like valid criticism of men isn't misandry. Sometimes criticism is due.
Being nice doesn't mean accepting bullshit.
Equality cannot just be about rights, benefits and privileges. Equality should also be about being responsible and accountable. Cherrypicking when to be equal and when not to be equal is hypocrisy.
Women need to be aware of their flaws and their capability of hurting others just like men need to be aware of their flaws and their capability to hurt others. Simply continuously painting one party as monsters and the other party as oppressed beautiful souls isn't just delusional, it creates a rift between the two parties.
