This occurred to me as I was looking at a few posts made by poor sods in 'male feminist' subs:

A 40 year old virgin

19 and feeling like a failure

26 year old virgin, struggling to find a reason to go on

Falsely accused of sexual assault/harassment twice

What do all these posts have in common? Men feeling weak, defeated, worthless, and feeling like they can't do anything right and should stop trying.

The communities where they posted these threads offer a superficial show of sympathy, but could it be possible that these men, having it hammered into their heads over and over that everything they do is potentially creepy and rapey, that women are always right no matter what and men should 'listen and believe', that we live in a 'rape culture', and that men are essentially predatory, have come to internalize these messages?

I'm seeing men that have become afraid to even approach or interact with women in any way, for fear of being labeled 'creeps' or accused of something. Fear of losing their jobs, of being kicked out of school, of being ostracized in the community, of having legal action taken against them.

The fact is, I don't believe feminism has any interest in men. It doesn't care about the feelings nor the problems of men. Any so-called 'positive' advice feminists give is designed primarily to benefit women as much as possible from a comfort standpoint, and any benefit derived for men is purely coincidental.

This is why TRP and seduction forums, with all their faults, are necessary to balance things out.
