simply guys hating women.
Can you link to examples? That would indicate your threshold and the upvote/downvote ratio would indicate whether such views are held by the wider community.
We'd also need indicators that the people posting those things were guys, or even men's rights advocates - we have a lot of feminists here who post inflammatory things, and there was a trend a while ago of people making wholesome posts and then edit them to something abhorrent to make it look like a lot he positive comments were supporting horrendous things, then posting screenshots to places like Shit Reddit Says or Against Mens Rights.

Am I right in thinking that you said "alot of the posts in here come off as ”incel” posts or simply guys hating women", but you can't point to any particular one that supports it, it's more a sense of vibes you're getting from reading things?

i therefor naturally get those vibes in a subreddit with 95% men
Where is that figure coming from?
we shouldnt look at it as ”men vs women” because it creates even more issues.
But a subreddit that's "95% men" has "aggressive" vibes to you because you're a woman?
[–]wellaw 0 points1 point2 points 2 years ago (13 children) | Copy Link
Random figure, just woke up and im sick lol. didnt think this post would get any attention, sorry for loose number.
Yes! and i think thats an issue. why do i instinctively feel a subreddit of mens right is agressive? its all based on the fact that women and men feel so far apart that we (or just me lol) cannot sympathise with each other as easily as we do with the same sex. Im trying to stay openminded and truly listen to the comments in this post with an unbiased mind.
[–]EmirikolWoker 10 points11 points12 points 2 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
To be frank, I think the issue is in your preconceptions, not in the posts. When you said "alot of the posts in here come off as ”incel” posts or simply guys hating women", that came across as a call to action (at least in my reading of it) - that being, "do something about all these incel and misogynistic posts here, it's making the subreddit look like it's hating women". If the problem lies in your instincts, no amount of behavioural change on our part is going to help that.
That said, I'm glad you're coming into this with the stated intention of staying open-minded and listening, as well as recognising your own biases. That's a good start.
[–]wellaw 8 points9 points10 points 2 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Yes. i see now how the way im getting vibes of the posts in this subreddit is the same vibes im giving out in my post lol. it was not my intention, and i think its interesting how i genuinely came here to discuss openly and fairly but without even noticing doing the same thing i was “complaining” about in this subreddit.
sorry for that.

Chill, she's 16 years old and trying. I've found nothing she's said here to be unreasonable given her immaturity. In fact it's quite admirable that she's reaching out and trying. You're being entirely too defensive.

> i instinctively feel a subreddit of mens right is agressive
Perhaps its because there is a lot of men are really pissed off right now?
Your probably mistaking that and tossing about a word incel because mayby thats how you percive most men?
You know like a lot of women will stright up call men incels, creeps, perverts, sexist, rapist and have zro evidence for these often unfounded insults.
Its same old stuff. Your playing into the narrative of "blame all men".
Like you used the word incel quite a lot here. Tehcnically when you look up the defination of the word it makes like 30-50% of middle aged married men with kids fit the defination in most of the western world.
My take on the defination of generally how its being used in most context's now is its basically a putdown word. Its no different from cunt, spanner, wanker, dickhead, jerkoff, retard or whatever any more. The word doesn't really mean anything other than a generic slaggin term.
Look at your post though like probably a lot of conversations. When you basically start of a conversations. "Your all dickheads" in a room. Do you really expect a respectful reply?
If a guy in the real world walked up to a bunch of other guys in the real world and opened a conversation with "Your all a bunch of cunts" hes going to get his shit kicked in....... for some reason women like youself expect some kinda different nice respectful response because "women" and you feel entitled to it.
[–]wellaw 1 point2 points3 points 2 years ago (7 children) | Copy Link
I absolutely do not expect any nice comments! I like that people are honest and say what they truly think and feel. Ive realised that my original post wasnt worded well at all and i will keep in mind everything thats been said in the comments etc.
I do not perceive men in any bad way and i was wrong to throw out insulting words and put every person in this subreddit into one bracket.
You mentioned a little about falsely accusing men of rape, and i hate that too. It is not only extremely disrespectful to people whose actually been raped but also it can fully destroy someones life. I think it should be a crime to falsely accuse someone of rape. Rape is a very big and sensitive subject and its often very hard to know whether someone is telling the truth or not and i think that making false accusations is super important not only to make victims feel like they wont be accused of lying when coming forward but also because its a very very very extreme thing to accuse someone of. I have had friends whose both falsely accused someone else and been falsely accused. I wont ever stand behind someone whose lied about someone raping them.
[–]mistralol 4 points5 points6 points 2 years ago (6 children) | Copy Link
I think it should be a crime to falsely accuse someone of rape
In most countries it already is a crime. To start with if you acuse somebody of rape your commiting perjury if you making a sworn statement in court. Wasting police time etc.. etc.. There are also specific laws for false rape claims.
However they are often not upheld at all. Cause that would prevent more rape victims from coming forward. So women basially have immunity to this law except in the most extreme cases.
[–]wellaw 0 points1 point2 points 2 years ago (5 children) | Copy Link
I was just about to say, even tho theres laws theyre often ignored and/or forgotten.
Its a tricky subject because there is so many rapists that get away with rape and leaving the victim traumatised for the rest of their life and at the same time there is a lot of people making false accusations.
And while on the subject, i think its awful that only women being raped is talked about. Yes- theres definitely way more women getting raped and the majority of rapists are men BUT that does not take away from the fact that guys get raped to, by women and men.
Maybe if we didnt look at men n say that all they want is sex, talked about guys getting raped too and what rape can look like (theres alot of different ways rape can be like) then there would be different statistics. One of my closest guy friends got raped as a teen by a woman and he has never told anyone but me, partly because people would say hes lying and probably mostly because people would say “damn you lucky” n praise him for getting with an “older” woman… i could go on for hours.

oh, i didnt know people did that.
Really? This happens all the time. Any image / screenshot you see of a post do not trust. You can quite literally right click the page goto inspect element and change the text then screenshot it.
Let me show you this fine example of your previous comment i am replying to (this is a joke/example obvious) https://imgur.com/a/pWP8pKO
So yes when your reading though things on the internet authentic source is really important in context. This is why "screenshots" are bad and people do this crap all the time to frame other people and context's.
When you see a screenshot without the linked source. they probably didn't link the source for a reason as they are hiding something.
A lot of feminst groups and the edges of the politcal sepctrum in general do this type of manipulation typically taking posts and conversations out of context to frame people on moral grounds....
[–]UnconventionalXY 4 points5 points6 points 2 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
Go to any feminist sub and see if its not mainly about "men suck", not simply vibes but outright men hating to the extent of #killallmen.
Compare this with the tone of MensRights sub where the worst you get is a vibe about "women suck". However, ask yourself whether you are misinterpreting annoyance at women trying to gain advantage, not simply trying to achieve equality, or annoyance at women for all the venom and hate being directed at men for being men, rather than "women suck".
This sub is about mens rights because men do not have equal rights to women. Women are being granted preferential treatment to achieve equal numbers, which are now resulting in greater numbers of women than men in many areas, when equality is not numeric equality when it comes to rights.
The greatest thing women can do to help men is to stop pushing for womens rights and start pushing for human rights: creating rights for women exclusively is not a path to equality but supremacy.
I hope you are not a girl: children have no right to be involved in adult discussion. Trying to elicit a protective response by passing yourself off as a child just highlights how women manipulate men to their own advantage. We cannot have an adult discussion with a child.
[–]wellaw 1 point2 points3 points 2 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Well, im in a few days a 17 yr old girl. I fully get that the opposite subreddits to r/mensrights gives the same vibes, less or more. And 100% i have been misinterpreting, and ive apologised for that in some other comments. Im glad you guys pointed it out because it was something i didnt notice myself and it was a little bit of en eye opener that i came here “complaining” while doing the exact same thing, unconsciously. I will keep this in mind and improve myself as a person by it.
I agree that its an issue that people are only focusing on the issues that concern themselves and i also think that in some cases people dont even care about the issues, but feel the need to argue because they want to be superior, issues or not.
I think that there is things women have an advantage in and i think there is things men have an advantage in, when it comes to alot of things and for example rights. We cannot improve by deciding what gender has it worse, we need to accept and understand that both genders have advantages and disadvantages in different topics and we gotta help each other to make sure its not like that.
[–]wellaw 1 point2 points3 points 2 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
I think that human rights is a perfectly okay subject to discuss, adult or minor. it affects us all and the more perspectives, opinions and thoughts the better discussion we can have!
[–]UnconventionalXY 2 points3 points4 points 2 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
However, feminists only want to discuss womens rights, not human rights.
I must admit that it is difficult to discuss human rights in a sub that is entitled MensRights, because it tends to go in the same direction as womens rights: independent rights for independent genders.
Human rights aren't gendered: they don't need to be to generate equality if they are the underpinning fundamental rights. Everyone should have a right to not be assaulted, full stop, yet we concentrate on an arbitrary separation into sexual assault for which women are more vulnerable due to biology as being more important somehow.
Yes, I think human rights is an area which a minor can be involved in discussion, however sexuality is traditionally linked to greater maturity than minors which is why there are ages of consent and involving a minor in a sexual discussion with adults is treading the line with being appropriate, partly because of the nature of the adult-child dynamic in both directions.
[–]Reddit1984Censorship 22 points23 points24 points 2 years ago (7 children) | Copy Link
Incel is a slur for men, the equivalent of whore or slut.
Is sexual shaming it means ''Involuntary Celibate'' wich implies that those men are uncapable of controling their sexual urges and that they need womens permision for sex to be respected.
Women are shamed for being promiscous, sluts, men are shamed for being virgins, it has always being this way, but feminism of course only sees the women side and pretends men are not sexually shamed.
So first of all stop calling men ''whores'' and wondering why they seem to hate women like you. Imagine if i go to the feminist sub and i say ''here it seems like you are a bunch of sluts i wonder why you cant be reasonable with me''.

when i say incels im talking about the incels that post online about how all women should die
Since you said "alot of the posts in here come off as ”incel” posts", and have now clarified that you're talking about people who want women as a class to die and people who kill and rape women, I think that assertion is going to need a bit more backing up than "I get these vibes".
With that in mind, your offer of help ("what would you guys say that we need to do (society, individuals, women etc) to help men?") seems not to come across in good faith.
the incels that actually ... rape women.
...if someone rapes, they're not involuntarily celebate.
[–]wellaw 5 points6 points7 points 2 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Fair point, i get that. I however did not mean any harm and i do come in good faith. I want to help and i want to understand. I realise how the things i say arent particularly coming across the way i meant, sorry for that. I think alot of people when they hear “incel” think of the creepy dudes hating women, and i see why thats problematic. For me, i dont see guys who are virgins for any reason to be incels. And thats because i dont think theres anything wrong to be a virgin, or a “whore” and ive associated the word incel to be something bad.
[–]Reddit1984Censorship 4 points5 points6 points 2 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
It doesnt matter what you think or mean, the word means what it means and is used as a shame tool in the same way, so if you wanan be the reasonable one stop using it like men hating feminist love to do.
Not you are not talking about those because you call US incels and incel mentality, you are using the term for its broad meaning that it has now it has nothing to do with terrorists, regardless of your intentions, thats what it comes across, just stop using it, find me a single post in this sub that says women should die and be raped.
[–]wellaw 4 points5 points6 points 2 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
Okay. i see your point and i think its valid. I think why i hear incel and think of men who just simply hates women etc stems from the same reason that alot of people hear “feminism” and think “sexist crazy woman who hates men”.
[–]Reddit1984Censorship 6 points7 points8 points 2 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Right but the word ''feminism'' doesnt mean ''has too much sex with too many guys''. Why is hatred of men being connected with'' men not having sex'' in such a manner, that is incredibly humiliating and hateful, and obviusly on purpose because they know where it hurst for us men.

First look at these demons for what they really are rather than propaganda written about them... think of them with the same compassion you would a woman.
Consider about the belligerent bitchy landwhale... her weight makes her undesirable and while everyone deserves love, that causes her to fail in this most basic of human desires... nobody owes her commitment but understanding that doesn't make the failure to achieve this biological imperative any less damaging and because of the hurt this causes, this "black pill" develops some behaviors which magnify their undesirability further blackpilling them.
Now imagine they don't have the feminist and body positivity movement endlessly supporting them, but instead almost every segment of society demonized them partly for things beyond their control and partly for the coping mechanisms they've developed for their lack of romantic success... if this isn't enough to let you understand their position then I doubt you are sincerely trying.
Author Mary Shelly wrote about the phenomenon of incels long before the term was coined. Frankenstein made life, not a monster... even Frankenstein rejecting his creation didn't turn it into a monster, it wasn't until all of society, including those who he personally served, rejected him that he snapped and became a real monster. At this point it became too late for platonic love to save him and only Frankenstein building him a bride (which he refused to do) would suffice.
Incels don't hate women... they hate that they can't hate women. They hate their instinctive desire that they can neither fulfill nor suppress. No, nobody owes them sex... but a little compassion and not condemning them would go a long way. Also... as for how monstrous they become... the media makes a big deal of the less than 1 attack per year by these broken souls, but no attention is paid to the hundreds who simply kill themselves per year.

I think that this is a problem that comes from issues men have to go through, theres a reason mens suicide rates r massive. we force men to not feel emotions. nobody deserves to feel like shit, ugly or not. we do live in a society where if youre dealt a shitty hand at birth youre gonna have to deal w alot more than someone else. its a complicated subject and i dont really know what to respond but i see your point. i think if we lived in a better world with less hate that we wouldnt have these issues, and i hope that in the near future we can stop being so judgemental and hateful.

The reason man don't feel emotions.
This makes people invalidate male emotions and making them close up again
I'm not an MRA, i was curious on male issues. The one in thing in i want to focus on is banning MGM aka circumcision on infants. 100 babies die every year, probably more. After watching a procedure. I could hear awful screaming non stop, then the baby went into shock.
I support women and men's issues. The only way for men's issues to be addressed is too make it a women's issue
[–]wellaw 5 points6 points7 points 2 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
I dont think its okay that mens issues are only important when it becomes a womens issue, and im sad that its that way you feel (and probably alot of guys).
I read a book a while ago that was about the gender norms and how right from birth guys and girls are put into brackets and told how to behave, what do do and not to do. We comfort little girls who falls but laugh and tell little boys to get over it. We encourage girls to be quiet at school and boys to be “class clowns”. we tell guys to be coldhearted and make emotions feminine. we tell guys that the only manly emotion is agression. its messed up and ridiculous.
and yeah, we would never allow someone to tattoo a baby cause its permanent but circumcising babies thats fine … theres alot of flaws in the world.
[–]z770i1 2 points3 points4 points 2 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
Gender norms isn't necessarily dangerous. People in Norway did test, as young as babies to see what they are attracted to. Face or machines or something. They also did a test to make toddlers choose their own toys. Majority of girls chose doll, while boys chose trains. The video is 40 minutes. The language is in Norwegian, but subtitles on i English. I'll look for the video.
Here it is: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=tiJVJ5QRRUE
[–]wellaw 3 points4 points5 points 2 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Ooo i actually saw some video about young kids picking toys and it was mostly wholesome and funny but it was interesting to see that the girls would be more comfortable playing with “boy toys” than boys playing with “girl toys”. however they were all maybe 5-7 so theres ofcourse been some sort of gendernorms inprinted there.
Very interesting what you said though, i wonder what causes that? I dont know how young thr kids in the experiment were but if they were young young its really fascinating that they still picked the toys that “matched their gender”? Gonna have to check out that video later!!

Don't confuse feeling emotions with expressing them. Men have just as must emotion as women but have learned to not show them. It's something most men learn to do around women, because if you show them it will be used against you. You hear women say all the time that other men cause this issue, but I have no problem talking with guy friends about what's going on. I will hold back with any women in my life though because every time I have opened up, it was used to put me down the first time they got angry. I'm sure not every women is like that but I have never opened up to one that hasn't used it later.
Men are conditioned to take abuse from everyone, and not complain about it. It took me a long time to realise just how much I've dealt with without ever saying anything. It's so ingrained in us that we don't ever think about why, and just keep pushing forward.
[–]wellaw 2 points3 points4 points 2 years ago (8 children) | Copy Link
Yes, that is the point im trying to make. It’s ridiculous to tell men that any emotions except anger isnt masculine and that men shouldnt express emotions.
If it makes you feel any better, i LOVE guys who arent scared to express their emotions and feelings. Im an emotional person myself though so it might be that lmao. It shows that the person is genuine, and thats such a beautiful trait to have.

Don't conflate being able to show emotions with what I class as emotional incontinence and not all external shows of emotion are genuine but are a form of manipulation.
You never seen someone that can cry on demand? Or hell even a kid having a tantrum because they want something?
Frankly I feel that women are allowed to get away with far to many negative emotion outbursts without being called out on it or slapped down.
Oh aye and generally women use the emotions men do show as weapons against them, when that shit is done enough is it any surprise that men shutdown?
[–]Snek1775 2 points3 points4 points 2 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
FWIW I have an opposite belief on this.
It's one thing to feel and reasonably express emotions as a path towards getting things resolved. It's another thing entirely to let your emotions over power your reason. To let them control your behavior, and to coddle them in other people.
I think the way our society coddles the emotions of women and allows it to be OK for women to be controlled by their emotions weakens them and in turn us. It's never OK for someone to allow their emotions to overpower their reason and lead to destructive behaviors no matter who they are. Does it happen to even the best of us, sure, and when it happens should be understood for what it is. But it's a weakness to be dealt with not a trait to be tolerated or coddled.
The way we tell men to "buck up" makes them stronger. But taken too far in telling them they're wrong to have the emotion in the first place is just as destructive.
[–]wellaw 2 points3 points4 points 2 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
I dont agree fully with this but i see where youre coming from. I do agree that its always best to be logical and rational than emotional but i also think that we’re humans and emotions are a big part of ourselves. I am biased cause i often let myself be controlled by my emotions and its majority of the times bad lmao but it also lets me understand others easier and i like that part of myself.
I dont really agree with the whole “buck up” thing making men stronger. Theres a few issues with this and spontaneously im thinking: 1. does it really make them stronger? maybe they wont express emotions but theyre still gonna feel them. theyll let them bottle up inside and eventually itll explode. 2. why does strong have to mean emotionless? my ex was the strongest man ever, he pushed through everything shot at him and didnt fear anything. He was strong physically too, but sometimes he would just burst out crying in my arms and he wasnt afraid to let me know he was anxious, sad, angry, happy etc. he was comfortable in his emotions and skin and thats so so so attractive and if anything, him comfortably expressing emotions just made him appear stronger.
[–]Snek1775 2 points3 points4 points 2 years ago* (1 child) | Copy Link
Think back to the times when you let yourself be controlled by your emotions. Was it a good thing in the moment, did it actually make things worse? Emotional outbursts are an indulgence in weakness and a bad habit. It's no different then reaching for a candy bar or drug to feel better. The indulgence is similar and the result the same. It almost always makes the situation worse.
MUCH more important though it creates an action to reward response. The drug, candy bar, or emotional outburst feel good in the moment. They are a release and that release is addictive. Both the release itself and too often the response it gains from others, the attention and sympathy. Because that release is addictive your mind starts finding excuses to do it again. New rationales to reach the point where you'll allow for that release again. New reasons to be angry so that you can excuse that outburst again.
The path to avoiding this cycle is two part. To understand what it is and to remove the reward. Men do this with each other, we do not reward this kind of behavior in other men. When a man acts out in the company of other men he's put down for it, not rewarded, this is a good thing.
That's not to say we don't talk about it afterwards, there must be release and resolution to whatever real thing is causing the outburst in the first place. But it must be addressed in a more calm manor at a healthier time.
Your ex expressing himself did make him stronger. But while I don't know I'd imagine there were times where that expression wasn't healthy, it was more of an outburst. Yelling, breaking things, driving fast, etc. These are outburst that should not be tolerated and absolutely not rewarded. They lead to the creation of men who feed that side of themselves. They hit women, drink to excess, etc.
I suggest giving this a listen https://youtu.be/2-Kcs89WuWw
A strong man is not emotionless, he's in control of his emotions. His reason is more powerful than his emotions and thus he can control how they are released. The emotions are a river, his reason is a dam. That dam must have a spillway to allow the release so that the dam doesn't burst. But he doesn't let it burst and doesn't over open the spillway.

i disagree, emotions are overrated
as a man I would never show emotions to someone who I don't trust, specially woman
woman are annoying because they only live with emotions and they have any excuse to be a crazy annoying bitch and wanting to be right all the time(u have to choose one or another)
woman today are all fake made of makeup shit and instagram photos, hows that any deserving of respect? most of them doesn't have ANY value

so, as the title says im a girl in this subreddit and the reason i joined was to gain perspective. i think its extremely important we dont only highlight womens rights and womens issues but also mens.
"We" being Feminists right? Just out of interest, hows that going for you...
the issue im having is that alot of the posts in here come off as ”incel” posts or simply guys hating women. Is this because im a woman only seeing men talk about women badly or are alot of ppl in this sub actually incels? lmao
You've fallen into the trap of "If a man says something bad about a girl, hes an incel". Its okay, Feminists jumped on this with open arms. You just need to read whats being written, and try to identify legitimate grievances and criticisms. A very small minority of people here are Incels, however lots of MRAs talking points are shared with Incel Groups. Again, try to identify if theyre legit or not before you make a judgement.
i think its good to have a subreddit where men can talk to other men about the issues theyre having, but alot of the posts in here seem to just be encouraging each other to hate women?
Could you give examples of these posts? Blind hatred isnt right, but actual critiques are okay. You might be blinded by bias, and thats okay. Just be sure to double-take and correct for it before screaming "Incels".
what im most interested in is what would you guys say that we need to do (society, individuals, women etc) to help men?
First of all, identify Feminism as a hate movement, and start undoing all the systematic racist and sexist stuff that Feminism supports. Yes, I did use the words Racist and Sexist. If its against White Men, because they're White Men, its racist and sexist, by definition.
i think that if we want a world where we’re all equals n accepted we need to stop dividing different groups apart so much, and come together instead, help each other and listen to each other.
Absolutely 100%. Its they rich fuckers that love this. Its a pretty famous line from the film "A Bugs Life" where Kevin Spacey says "They outnumber us 100 to 1, if they ever realize this we're screwed". The Elite WANT us fighting among ourselves.
Funnily enough, Men are HAPPY to help out Women. We've been doing it for thousands of years. It kinda gives you a purpose. Women on the other hand are the more anti-support group of the two genders. Start fixing your own side first...
[–]wellaw -3 points-2 points-1 points 2 years ago (10 children) | Copy Link
i think this comment is giving the same vibes i get from other posts. that does not have to mean anything and it may very well be that im biased, i think we all are. we grow up and it isnt a secret that women and men are constantly put against each other, which follows through life.
alot of the people here are assuming im a feminist because im asking these questions, i do not choose to call myself as a feminist because alot of people think of feminism as extreme blue hair-straight up sexism-feminism lol. i do long for equality in the way that men and women arent at war against each other, that we can help each other and see each others sides. men and women both have issues and its important we support BOTH sides and not just one.
[–]LondonDude123 8 points9 points10 points 2 years ago (5 children) | Copy Link
So I will ask you what it is I said that you take exception to. I dont think I said anything which can be construed as Incelly or Misogynistic or any other buzzword which is thrown out to discredit our side. I will say that it is very interesting that you imply that i've said something wrong, but dont tell me what it was. I have said before that this kinda "loose non-committal give-myself-an-out plausible-deniability" language that women tend to use is borderline manipulative. You can think of that what you will...
If thats what you TRUELY want, then you're NOT a Feminist. However you should begin to identify Feminism as a man-hating ideology, because thats what it is. Be warned, you WILL be insulted by Feminists for it. Prepare yourself accordingly.

Calling yourself a feminist or not either way youll get shat on, but thats life. i 100% recognise both sides of the coin and i think we need to move on from feminist or not. instead of focusing on what feminism means we should focus on the very important issues that men and women have. we cant do that until we remove the “men vs women” mindset and actually listen to each other.
im glad i can have this discussion with the people here. i appreciate everyone taking their time to reply and i do hear you all and im taking it in.

I mean "shat on" is a strong way to put it. Feminists will like villify you as much as they possibly can, while MRAs (at least the insane ones) will see you as crazy for supporting something based on lies. You know, 6 of 1 half a dozen.
i 100% recognise both sides of the coin and i think we need to move on from feminist or not.
Thats fine, but Feminists NEED to be identified as a hate movement. MRAs are going nowhere until the wider world starts doing that.

Correct. As ive said, start with Them. People get banned from Feminist subs for even commenting in this one. Meanwhile we WELCOME discussions. You even say it yourself that you appreciate what we're telling you. The people spuring on the Us v Them Mentality ARE The Feminists, but good luck getting through to them. If you're a guy you'll be called an Incel, if you're a girl you're a pick me...
If you want to talk more, im happy to. Comment or DM it doesnt matter to me. Im happy to say my piece to whoever asks, as long as theyre willing to listen.

You want to remove the divide between women and men without addressing one of its main causes; feminism?
It seems like you are going out of your way to stop people from criticising feminism. Try as you might, this is not going to happen and rightfully so. To end the division between women and men, to end all of the injustices afflicting men, first and foremost feminism needs to be eradicated. There is no two ways about this.

i think this comment is giving the same vibes i get from other posts.
Holy gaslight Batman, you may be 17, but basic reasoning faculties don't suddenly develop once your 18th birthday comes. Can you be slightly less disingenuous and read what is being said and NOT focus on vague gut feelings? Your post is basically "hello fellow incels, here is what you sexist incels can do to look less sexist incel-ly." And once someone tries to give a counter argument to that, you just call them incels.

Men and women will be constantly battling because of biology: men are driven to pursue sex because of their biology however this is frustrated by womens choice who are not compelled to pursue sex by their biology.
The closest analogy is women being driven to pursue having children, but where the drive was to keep having children frequently and a man choosing not to have sex for his own reasons which frustrates that drive.
It's not reasonable to force someone to have sex, but biology doesn't respect reason so there will always be opposing forces at work except when both drives are synchronised. However, since it theoretically only takes a single sperm to result in conception, that synchronisation may not last for long, certainly not long enough to meet a man's lifetime drive for sex.
When one party's needs are held hostage to another's choices there will always be conflict. The only way to resolve such conflict is to provide those needs independently of the choices of the other party, but since the other party is largely the only option at present, it constitutes a paradox.

Mate, You can't be equal. Just beacause we're the same species doesn't mean we're the same people, so You can't have equality everywhere.
[–]wellaw 5 points6 points7 points 2 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
100%! we are all different and thats a good thing. Its how we evolve.
When i say that i wish for equality im for example talking about that men n women work together instead of against each other. Theres so much hate in this world and i wish we could just listen to each other instead of always comparing our issues to each other, deciding whose issues are worse etc. We are all humans and it shouldnt matter if ur a woman or a man, we have to see each others issues and not blindly ignore them because “one sex struggles more than the other”. We cant have equality everywhere but we should have equality in the way that our issues should be equally respected and supported.

[–]UnconventionalXY 0 points1 point2 points 2 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
It is absolutely possible to have equality, even where the parties involved are different, if it's applied to the right principles. For example the right to bodily sovereignty (including tissues) would be an equal right because it does not depend on differences and it would cover a large territory of "my body my choice" for women as well as rights to determine use of sperm, for men; as well as Female Genital Mutilation and Male Genital Mutilation; etc which are currently treated individually by gender, if at all.
Two people can be equally happy following their own individual different interests rather than attempting to find a common interest they can both be equally happy with, and failing. I believe Robert Bolton gives an example of a couple trying to decide where to go on holiday and compromising on a destination neither really is happy with because they believe they have to holiday together, instead of holidaying separately to their individual best destinations and comparing notes when they return. Compromise can be a dirty word, because it can mean one or other is not happy: it's not a focus on a win-win outcome. Human beings rarely focus on win-win outcomes because we are fundamentally selfish and lazy and don't analyse the actual problem but pre-define the solution to the wrong problem and constrain the outcome.

"My body my choice" is advocating for murder. Do You rwally think people would stand for that?
[–]kanniget 4 points5 points6 points 2 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
May I ask, why is it that "incel" is a derogatory term aimed at women, even ones who claim to be considering the issues me face.
"Incel" is supposed to be involuntary celibate.... But the women that claim to be struggling to find a decent man are just as involuntarily celibate as men. They may be able to get regular sex but so are most of the men... There is no difference between sleeping with a random stranger to get off and paying a prostitute...
So why are men incels and women strong and Independent....
The reason so many men are sounding like "incels" is because they have been significantly hurt. Just like how most of the women who are extremely misandrist have been hurt.
[–]wellaw 2 points3 points4 points 2 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
I agree with the last part especially, at the end of the day theyre just people who has been hurt for a long time. i think that why hurt men get called incels and hurt women get comforted etc is because we as a society has normalised teaching guys to not feel emotions etc and that emotions are “feminine” since birth. emotions arent feminine or masculine, theyre a part of being a human. and whether youre a man or a woman, we’re all humans.
[–]UnconventionalXY 0 points1 point2 points 2 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Feeling emotions is one thing, expressing them is something different.
For some reason, many people believe that expressing emotions is feeling emotions and if you aren't expressing, you aren't feeling, when both men and women feel emotions but they express them differently for various reasons.
The greatest gift of humanity is the ability to moderate our emotional expression to achieve other outcomes. In primitive times, unthinkingly responding to a moving shadow might often save your life, however in modern times there aren't predators hunting you 24/7/365, so jumping at your own shadow is not particularly useful, but assessing the risk and moderating any reaction can prevent wasted effort in overreaction. I'm sure women possess this gift, but I don't see it exercised much at all. Perhaps this is because women have been protected by men for so long they don't feel a need to develop it.

[–]EmirikolWoker 10 points11 points12 points 2 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
The foundational principles of all flavours of feminism (class warfare between men and women with men winning, shorthanded as "Patriarchy") are inherrently anti-male when you examine what needs to be true for it to accurately describe reality. Feminists can claim that it's "just about equality", but it's equality based on bigotted assumptions, presuming psychopathy on the part of men as a class.
Egalitarian values, and mens' rights advocacy in particular, is innately anti-feminist.
[–]mistralol 4 points5 points6 points 2 years ago (8 children) | Copy Link
It uses the very thing it claim to protect to forward its motions. eg sexism.
You know like equity of outcome involving gender quota's. Thats not equality. Its using discirmination to "fix discrimination".
You quite literally have feminism running around stating things like "kill all men", "all men are evil", "all men as violent", "all men are rapists" and this list goes on forever how is this not coming out as a hate group exactly?
[–]wellaw 3 points4 points5 points 2 years ago (7 children) | Copy Link
i agree with that! if you say u stand for equality you dont say “kill all men” or in any way make one sex out to be more important than the other. its sad that people like that call themselves feminism cause feminism is SUPPOSED to be about equality.
[–]mistralol 2 points3 points4 points 2 years ago (6 children) | Copy Link
themselves feminism cause feminism is SUPPOSED to be about equality.
But its not equal at all. It never will be. You cannot make women and men equal it simply doesn't work. Sure there is an overlap between them.
Men have advantages and disadvantages so do the women.
But for the feminsts stating they want equality. Nope they don't. I don't see them queueing up to take on physically demanding jobs do you?
I have said it for years. I will trust feminism when I pass roads works with women digging a hole in the road.... In theory it might sound like a good idea. In reality it just doesn't work.
Reality: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ib2m9fXJ3Cc
You can't just simply make that equal. Its the same between men as well. IF you have a job and the average man moved X number of bricks per hour. Thats going to be the standard labour benchmark in a workplace. If you male or female and cannot meet your quota you will be replaced with somebody who can.
So when women say they want equality.... reality always get in the way. However in like the above example. 50% of the men are below average. Closer to 80% of the women won't be able to meet the average bar set by men.
So the reality of feminism is to level the playing field by reducing the bar. So rather than competing fairly in life based on merit, skills and ability. They want to reduce the bar. The only way they can do that isn't to brng themselves up to be equal but to handicap / punish the men by pulling them down and holding them back from their potential.
However just one problem. If you make the minimum bar set on the bases of the physical capabilitys of the average women. Suddenly the mens proportion increase from 50% to 80% then what? just dismiss 30% of the men using discrimination and a gender quota.
Does that sound like equality and fairness to you?
[–]wellaw -1 points0 points1 point 2 years ago (5 children) | Copy Link
I think maybe you misunderstood what i was trying to say or maybe i wasnt being very clear, i meant to say that feminism in the original meaning was for equality and that its sad that its changed to something completely different by a bunch of people claiming to be feminists and “for equality” while being openly sexists.
I get that it is impossible to reach complete full equality and i dont think there should be in all criterias. However, i do think that for example everyone, man or woman, should be equally treated infront of the law, as humans etc.
I dont know what you were trying to get to or the relevance talking about women doing physically demanding jobs, but i can say that alot of girls in sweden has taken interest in more “masculine” jobs and educations! personally, what gender works with what is not in any importance to me but fun fact lol

fun fact women doing more "masculine" jobs only worked in sweden so long as the swedish govt was subsidising/ funding it.
once the govt decided to spend the money on something more beneficial in society, the number of women going into the "masculine" jobs dried up.

Like the other commenters said, it is certainly possible that you get such "vibes" from this sub.
However, the main reason for that are laws. I don't know how much you have perused this sub, but if you have read them, and read them carefully, you will see that most problems being talked about are directly related to the law. Simply put, the law is on women's side now.
The simplest example would be a false accusation. A simple false accusation is enough to essentially ruin a man. Even if the accusation was proved false, he is no longer given a place in society. If you know such a man, ask him.
Agreed- I spoke about this with another person in another comment under the post and mentioned false accusations, custody laws etc.
I havent been in this subreddit much at all but ive seen a few posts and as im sick rn i was scrolling on reddit and got curious.

I definitely had a bit of a defensive mindset when i first joined this subreddit.

I wish i wouldve came to this subreddit with a different mindset first, and i know alot of people have the same mindset joining this subreddit and i hope that if they see this post it can be changed aswell.
I already know about different issues men have especially with laws etc, i came here to get a perspective of this subreddit and the people in it.

[–]Dispositionate 3 points4 points5 points 2 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Have you ever noticed how women who say "real men cry" are also the same ones posting pics of themselves with cups, saying they love "drinking male tears?"
I'm the father of a very bright, very loving 6yr old son, and it genuinely scares me what kind of world he'll grow up in. His chance of suicide is higher, less likely to get custody of/see any kids he may ever have, maybe have his life ruined by false accusations (even if they're proven 100% false).
He'll be expected to be financially secure with a good job, but men have lower scores across the board in schools & higher education. Society will treat him like a potential rapist simply for being a man, and if he's attacked by an angry ex and defends himself he's still more likely than her to be the one getting punished.
Also, the amount of Men's Rights marches/rallies that are disrupted by "feminists", when they only want to highlight the above issues, is absurd. Even more so that it's never mentioned in the media.
Women have a lot more advantages than they think (or let on) in society, but to highlight those means you'll be branded a misogynist - yet women can openly post online about wanting to abort potential babies if they find out they're male because they "don't want to raise a rapist", or drag men with false accusations born from their own malice at not getting what they want.
Seeing all of this makes me worry about my son's future constantly, all the while he just enjoys being a kid and being blissfully unaware of what's to come.

Nah. It is because TRP had been banned this year, and a lot of people migrated over here. I have been on this sub like within a year and a half from different accounts, and I tell ya, there is a difference in overall thone of the discussions then and now. Far more angry posts, etc.
Yeap, I understand, guys need to vent, I am just saying about the changes.
Well, we need, actually, to help not precisely men, but make some changes for everybody.
School system, Healthcare, High Ed system, custody laws, retirement.
Like take away gender bias in laws. Equal punishments, equal decisions, custody gets the one, who is able to look for a child.
Abolish quotas. Forever. Yes, some things are better done by men, others by women, on average. So be it.
You are interested in what? In better working system or in an idpol theater of absurd?
Laws first and foremost. Attitudes change far more easy, than laws.
Ah, yes, and also click out politics from campuses and schools. I mean all that fake-pepfessors of gender discrimination studies.

I agree, the custody laws are horrible. To think that a woman who cant take care of herself and especially not her kid would be more likely to get the child in a custody battle than a normal guy is ridiculous. Even there we can see gendernorms being a important factor, thinking that women are naturally better parents than men.
Ive seen that TRP been banned didnt connect that dot though. I never really were in any pill subreddits so.

thats what tends to happen when you create a big community for people with the exact same opinions and thoughts, it eggs each other on and suddenly its got no limits etc. Im glad that this subreddit allowed me to bring my opinions thoughts and perspective which is in probably in many ways different from the usual person in this subreddit!

That's how sects are born, actually.
Maybe, but honestly not too different, in a good way. People here, main contingent, atleast, are mostly just normal people, who are concerned with a state of society.
As you said, big communities with exact same views often tend to demonize opponents. As a result you may have anticipated some angry incels here, same as I anticipate rabid radfembutchlesbians in fem subs. And good thing if both of our expectations are wrong. In a good way.
Made me giggle lol. Its true though and thats most likely why we in the world have such a “men vs women” war going on. Could u imqgine the ww3 that would happen if r/mensrights and r/womensrights would argue? lmao
We would have had a much more safe and happy world if we could stop being so closeminded and insisting on being right. Its funny cause at the end of the day r/mensrights and r/womensrights are two sides of one coin- We all want to be happy, be respected and listened to. We’re all humans.

Just look around and start paying attention. So many tv shows show a women abusing a man to a laugh track, news articles point out how many women die even when the majority are men or how men suffering effects women most, and how the law works towards men compared to women. Start researching articles and finding the source, just to see how they twist research into pushing ideas out. That doesn't just apply to mens issues but everything now. There are so many lies passed around as fact now. I honestly think the world is to far divided at this point to fix things, but there still may be a chance.

I do already research alot and i try to make sure all my guy friends know im there for them and that i wont ever judge them but theres only so much one person can do. Having this discussion here though has felt really good and i hope that others in here felt good discussing too. Maybe this is what we have to all do for change, just discuss with open minds trying to understand each other while informing on issues.
I saw this video on deathhouse.org where it was 3-4 girls just abusing a guy while he did nothing. They were young too maybe like 14-19? what i gathered was that it happened cause the guy wanted to break up. All i was thinking about was how disgusting and cruel it was and that people were laughing at it. Infact i see and hear alot of men being abused by their partners and not only does anyone do anything about it but the men have been so brainwashed that they dont even think its wrong. its abuse, doesnt matter if its to or from a man/woman.
[–]UnconventionalXY -1 points0 points1 point 2 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Young people think they know better, yet they are thrown into relationships without any real understanding of them, for trial and error experience, yet most often the experiences will be bad which will bias their attitudes from the start: then you get people with bad experiences rubbing their woes together until they howl and exploring vengeance as a group, knowing there is strength in unity, even if it is mean and nasty vengeful strength.
Hence we have groups of girls being cruel just because they can and no-one is reigning them in, or groups of young men pack assaulting others.
I blame the permissive culture of society that let loose uneducated children to be hurt and then turn that hurt back on society.

Hi OP,
I'm sorry to break it to you but your generation and generations after you will feel the consequences.
In manosphere all over the place the message is the marriage is dead. Feminism by changing divorce and family laws and promoting promiscuity killed it big time.
Men go MGTOW, red pill, hookups, you name it, but they avoid marriage/ cohabitation like a plague.
Check crude marriage statistics to verify what's been said. Men, good women of your generation and generations after are the most affected. Chances to fulfill a family dream with a lifelong partner are very slim.

Thanks for taking an interest at such a young age.
Please avoid the whole "incel" thing, it's a slur and in truth only applies to a very very small minority of immature men. Any reasonably mature man of moderate social skills and status can get laid. True "incels" are only the very few sad cases of men of low intelligence, poor appearance, and poor upbringing.
As for hating women, it's not women many hate it's 3rd wave feminists of which sadly many American women(and men) are. Making an accusation of many men hating women is like accusing a Jew of hating Muslims. It's not so much what they are but what they choose to believe and an accurate reasonable hate. It's perfectly reasonable to hate someone who wants to enslave or destroy you.
"i think that if we want a world where we’re all equals n accepted we need to stop dividing different groups apart so much, and come together instead, help each other and listen to each other." --- Exactly, but with one thing missing, feminists need to admit that they aren't men. That we are different, we have different skills and proclivities and that is OK. It doesn't make one less than the other, we only have different roles to play.
I hear you. I will avoid using the word incel and im sorry if i upset anyone by it, i appreciate being educated of it. i agree that its only a small part of men that actually are incels and that its unfair to come to a mens rights subreddit and without much thought say that people here are incels.
i dislike 3rd wave feminists that treat men bad simply cause theyre men just like i dislike men who treat women bad simply cause theyre women.
And i agree with the last part, we are very different in many ways not just biologically, and thats perfectly fine. Its even good. We cant compare and try to be exactly the same cause its impossible lol. A clear example of that is WNBA. they complain about not getting paid the same etc but refuse to give themselves the opportunity to be great because they insist on having the basket on the same height as men have them.. you wouldnt put a heavyweight boxer against a lightweight one to “prove a point” and wnba shouldnt either lol.

I think you have it far more figured out than most of those who call themselves either feminist or MRA. Don't let the bitter adults sway your perfectly reasonable observations. Keep your open mind, thick skin, and curious nature. Trust your own eyes and mind over what someone else wants you to believe. And do what you can to help your friends who are being lead astray see what you see.
Please ask any more curiosities. I don't want to just ramble on about various things I think you should know or might be curious about. You may already know and/or not be curious at all.
The one thing I'd add is off topic of sorts. I think it's a bad habit to not always capitalize "I". It's either laziness or that you don't consider yourself that important. Both options are bad traits.

my ex was the strongest man ever, he pushed through everything shot at him and didnt fear anything. He was strong physically too, but sometimes he would just burst out crying in my arms and he wasnt afraid to let me know he was anxious, sad, angry, happy etc. he was comfortable in his emotions and skin and thats so so so attractive and if anything, him comfortably expressing emotions just made him appear stronger.
Yet you are still 16?

There's a lot of angry people on here and most are just men who've had many hard experiences where they have been ignored or looked down for because they're a man. Many just want equal help or equal value in society but asking for it makes us evil in the eyes of many. It's why the incels groups are growing in number. More and more men are being left isolated with no help apart from people on online hate groups. Its really sad and the more it happens the more the men are evil narrative grows.
All anyone can do is just be supportive to any male friends having a rough time. It can be really hard to find someone to listen. A little compassion can really help espeshaly if they've never experienced it.

“Being a girl in this subreddit”
Just that fact alone is a thing of wonder. Women’s rights subreddits will ban you for simply participating here, and yet they claim to be for equality. Yet here you are welcome and have a post where you can openly use insulting words against the other members, and tell them that their thinking is faulty.
As a teenage girl you can post and tell men of all ages how they should behave as men, and get polite, constructive responses. As men we cannot even try to participate in the discussion at women’s rights subreddits; our views are simply not welcome.
What does this one fact alone teach you? Who are the ones who are willing to talk about equality and make progress, and who are showing hateful and bigoted tendencies?
And yet here you are, discussing with us how we need to to change. And here we are, conversing with you about it. Try posting a similarly themed question in the equivalent female subreddits and then start a timer to see how many seconds it is before you’re banned from there.

And i appreciate it a tons that so many people from here has been willing to discuss with me! ive learnt alot already. i dont know how things are in womens rights subreddits as i usually dont post on reddit. and even if i did post there, i 100% agree that the replies would be different if i instead was a man. i hope that maybe someone from that subreddit can see this post and the comments and see that discussions are positive and very important, especially about mens and womens right.
i did not mean to use insulting words agains this subreddit, ive realised how theyre offensive and i will avoid using them again, both here and in other discussions.
i did not mean to come off as telling men how to behave, im here to ask how i as a girl can behave differently to help men too. im glad i did cause ive already learnt alot and my perspective has been made broader.

And that is exactly what an open forum should be like: people who are different and hold opposing views having a respectful and honest discussion. You are very welcome to be here, and your views and opinions are valuable to the community. Today you have opened a topic that has given rise to a good discussion, and I hope that you haven’t been stung too harshly by some of the constructive criticism you have received; you seem to have taken it well. I also hope that the subreddit has taken note of your view and we can keep this in mind when we post. Thank you for participating.
I agree! i didnt know what to expect when posting this, maybe id get tons of hate or maybe nothing at all. Im really happy that people were open to listen and to share their opinions and views. I havent seen any comments as too harsh and if anything im glad people didnt “hold back” because im a girl.
i think that these discussions where people are different but still openminded to each other are SUPER important and im grateful i could have it here!
You haven't seen any comments that are really harsh because you are a girl and you elicit a protective dynamic because of the many generations of male conditioning.

"Incel" = "slut, whore" Off to a good start by using "lol virgins" as an insult.

To society? Well thats quite simple really. Take away the safty nets / systems which are preventing consequances to shitty decisions that people are making (or activly rewarding them). If they cannot be taken away directly cause of immeidate consequances they should be at least tapered and bounded to periods of time. Cause the biggest problem in society is exactly that the social safty nets are rewarding shitty decision making in the world.
So something that need completly reformed in most of the western world. Social safty nets, Divorce courts, Custody battles, Child support payments. Cause men sure as hell have no trust / respect for the system because its being abused by the women to abuse men.
Effectivly its not so much about "incels" but more like the western world has basically made it crazy from a legal perspective for men to actually have releationships at all.
To try to put that in some perspective a friend of mine recently went though a divorce. The average slary here is £23k and the legal costs (not the settlement) just cost him £35k in legal fee's. The outcome of that was so that he could see his daughter once a fortnight.
I saw in your other posts you are young. Still young enough to imagine what your outcome would be in a case like this https://pagesix.com/2021/05/26/brad-pitt-wins-joint-custody-of-kids-in-angelina-jolie-divorce/ Brad Pitt after 5-6 years winds right to see daughter. Imagine your parents went though a divorce when your aged 8. You don't see your father until your aged 14.... what impact would that have on your life?
Imagine being aged 12 when its starts and your 16 and your life is being decided by lawyers about which parent you can see, for how long and when and its completly out of your control?
Imagine the resentment when you realize your mother forced your father to fight for 5+ years in costly legal battles. Only to find out they spent £35k of money doing it.. (more that collage costs). Only for the decision / outcome to last for a period of 6-12 months because the child being faught over becomes "of age" and the court ruling no longer applies.
50% of marriages are failing. When things go to custody battles. 90% of the cases are being won by women.
You wonder why men have biterness towards women? Cause almost 50% of them go though this in life at some stage. Or they chose not to and they get called incels as a response instead.
For a lot of men its a zero sum game. Its a lose lose situation / outcome in almost every path in life even if yo make all the right decisions they often still lose.
I completely understand. And i get why men have bitterness againt women and vice versa, and i think both genders have a right to be. But being bitter at each other will only make them worse- in my mind.
I live in Sweden so i cannot relate fully, but i do know that my dads friends dont get to meet their daughters much after divorces and i know my dad was terrified he would lose contact with me after my parents divorced.
Its outrageous how fucked up laws are and how inaccurate and unreliable the grounds of them are. Ive heard of so many dads who lost custody of their children to a woman who will treat them like shit. There needs to be serious adjustments on a lot of laws and its almost comedic how theyre still followed even though alot of them are blatantly sexist

Hi AHS! How is Dean doing?
[–]classicliberal1 0 points1 point2 points 2 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I just came across this forum, so not sure my opinions are representative of the group. I personally think that the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment is the most important law in the U.S. It should be enforced across all of U.S. society.
It means that gays can marry each other, but it also means that men cannot be drafted or forced to register for selective service. It means that both men and women must consent to becoming a parent, so child support cannot be required from a biological parent who did not consent and may have not even known about the child. It means that sentencing should not be disproportionate to people because of their race or sex. It means that alimony should not exist. (13th Amendment also applies to this as alimony is indentured servitude.) It means that male paternal rights are the same as and as important as female paternal rights. Equality under the law in all legal matters.
That said, I don't think we'll ever have a truly equal society as gynocentrism is deeply ingrained in our biology and genetic code. Evolution has forged both men and women into viewing male life as disposable and female life as precious because women are the limiting factor of reproduction. I don't see the masses overcoming biological instinct with rational thought because most people live life on evolutionary autopilot.
