I recommend an article written by a British psychologist about why saying "Kill All Men" is harmful.

It’s incredible that we need professionals to explain that joking about committing genocide against a group might be bad for that group’s mental health.

This article discusses the radical feminist slogan "Kill All Men" and why they should stop using it. Author of this article criticises the "Kill All Men" users' excuses, such as "this is a joke", "I didn't mean it" etc. I agree with this writer, because there is no justification of publicly calling for a genocide, even saying that "this is a joke" isn't enough to justify such hate slogan.

Women calling for the genocide of half the species is harmful. Wow who knew.

I don't need a psychologist to tell me that the slogan is harmful.

Nooo, really? What a surprise!

While we're at it, can I just point out how "surprising" it is that an ideology which aims to indoctrinate people into thinking that there is class warfare between the two genders who built ALL of society and humanity itself is so shocked to find out that the people who bought thier narrative wish death upon thier so-called oppressors?

If you can convince a young woman that men are collectively so incapable of feeling empathy for thier wives, daughters, mothers, aunts, cousins and female friends that they would perpetuate a system that actively opresses them for thier own benefit, is it any wonder that same woman would wish death upon all men? Especially after some of them made her suffer?

To claim that there is class warfare between the genders with men on top is to claim that men are inherently sociopaths. That they always have been for all of human history. With a narrative like that, how can you not want them dead, eslaved, or reduced to a fraction of the population?

Feminists need to realize that they can't say those who spout "KAM" aren't "real feminists". They just happen to be the only feminists who actually take patriarchy theory to its natural conclusion. If you are a feminist reading this, you need to realize that your movement and the narrative behind it is DIRECTLY responsible for these people existing. You made "Kill all men" inevitable.

Probably the best paragraph in the article:

If we are expecting men to stay silent whilst people are tweeting ‘KillAllMen’ in an attempt to process trauma perpetrated by men, equality means that we should also expect women to stay silent when people tweet ‘KillAllWomen’ in an attempt to process trauma perpetrated women. If we are not promoting equality, then we are promoting privilege.

"If we are not promoting equality, then we are promoting privilege"
Could not have said it any better in my opinion.

Now, up to around the start of this year I was regularly active in the FeminismUncensored sub.. but I just could not handle the fact that even after explaining multiple times and multiple ways how KAM is offensive / harmful to people, especially as I have suffered harm / violence from multiple women from the time I was 5 years old to my early 20's they just refused to budge on the concept of KAM being nothing more than 'A Joke'

They clearly don't understand how a joke works because a joke requires context and a payoff.
#KillAllMen has no context at all especially as said when they back track and try to say "I don't ACTUALLY mean 'Kill All Men' I mean Kill the Patriarchy or Kill Misogynistic Men" but they seem to fail to grasp that you can't take the statement Kill All Men and expect people to understand that as your meaning..

And even though THEY have failed in regards to communication its men who are wrong when we call them out for it..

As I mentioned above i've suffered violence from many women in my life.. but I don't go around saying #KillAllWomen as some sort of coping mechanism as I know that what those INDIVIDUAL women did to me was wrong and I know that because of how our society treats men I will NEVER see any form of justice for the things they did to me.. but calling for the death of someone who shares the same gender as those who abused me is just asinine. Yet feminists don't seem to get this concept at all.

The article is a lot better and broader than the rather narrow headline suggests. It comes up with many examples of misandry and links to many sources, and can be used in discussions with people who never heard about the downsides of feminism. The idiotic slogan is by no means the core business of what is talked about.

I think it’s common sense that saying something like that is harmful but I’ll read the article. Thanks for posting

a-man-from-earth · 2022-04-19T08:39:56+00:00

It's a good article, but we require a top-level comment from the poster saying something more about the article and giving a basis for discussion.

McGauth925 · 2022-06-20T21:42:29+00:00

I'm thinking that the people who say that don't care at all that it's harmful, so long as most of the harm is for men. The people who don't say that and don't think it, don't need to be told that it's harmful. Thus the people who most need to hear it are the least likely to let it guide their behavior.

So, we're hoping that the people who don't need to hear it will discourage those who do, and indirectly quash such overt and aggressive instances of misandry.
