BBC tricked me. This article about the challenges of being a man is actually just about ‘toxic masculinity’. No mention of fear of false accusation or misandry. Sources of material were replying to Caitlin Moran.

Expected: homelessness, suicide, losing custody of kids, inconsistent prison sentencing, prostate cancer rates booming, male disposability

Actuality: "I feel a bit awkward when a guy checks out a girl. Men are pigs"

This article was labelled as 'Life as a man isn’t always easy either' ffs. People will read this and be terribly miseducated. Ugh.

I saw this and came to see if it was here.

It was all bout how men suffer because they don't see themselves as normal men and that's somehow toxic. Seems to be that the majority of these "toxic issues" are down to not having friends with common interests.

Horribly toxic article ironically.

And of course the article is written by a woman!

There is talk in the UK of making hatred of woman a “hate crime”. And they are looking at making hatred of men a “hate crime” also. Bring both on I say — because I think it will help men more than woman: The phrase “toxic masculinity” it clearly hateful, just in the same way that “toxic Jewishness” is or “toxic homosexuality”.

Men: we face a number of specific problems we'd like to address with direct policy changes.

Feminists: yes toxic masculinity is terrible.

Men: what? No I mean like there are laws that discriminate against men that we'd like to change. You guys gave us many of them.

Feminists: indeed toxic masculinity harms men, but of course women are the primary victims.

Men: are you even listening?

Feminists: toxic masculinity!

Men must act like women to be accepted by women. Women are incapable of accepting that being a man is as valid as being a women.

Well, Caitlin Moran's the feminist mother-of-two girls, who wrote about having an abortion when she discovered she was expecting a son, so I suppose that counts as a bit of a 'downside' of being male - being killed before you're actually born.

BBC tricked me.

Feminist BBC twisting things to force feminism on people reading the article

Consilio_et_Animis · 2018-10-20T14:42:53+00:00

”Alan is completing a Masters in human services to become a counsellor”

Translation: He’s swallowed the feminist Kool-Aid and been taught to hate himself and his masculinity.

Never trust the BBC. They just hate men over there.

"Toxic masculinity" is just hate speech.

if you said the truth, tricked is a little bit euphemistic.

Unfortunately if the journalist didn't damage your public image there is the little to be done at this stage. Next time, before granting interviews, check quick on google what types of "press reports" publish the journalist. GL
