I'm 24 now and spent all of my life feeling like shit and looking down on me because I am a man (for context I live in Sweden which is an extremist feminist country) and always being extremely kind and considerate towards women. Recently I started going to therapy to help with my self hatred, social anxiety and inability to deal with feelings. It has helped me but also I feel like I'm starting to realise how badly I've been treated throughout the years. Especially by women, but also by men (very few men are confident - certainly not me - enough to speak up about men's rights). All my life, I have given so much to women, and gotten so little back, and I've thought it's supposed to be that way. I've taken shit because I thought I deserved it.

I would actually say that I support most of what feminism has stood for. I totally agree that there has been very much injustices towards women for several hundreds years (at least), but it has by far flipped to the other side. A problem with injustices towards men, as I see it, is that they are kind of discreet. I think that's partly derived from women's extraordinary social skills, it's almost second nature for women to manipulate social situations and particularly a male partner. I don't mean that as an insult towards women. They just got better social skills. Meanwhile men got other attributes that perhaps would e.g., favor a career as an engineer, mathematician etc. Of course not saying women can't succeed in those professions.

I don't see myself as a women hater, but my frustration is growing exponentially. I'm frustrated because it's very much not socially accepted where I live to talk about women in any negative way at all. Leading to having discussions about inequalities between the genders, simply is impossible. While it is NEVER okay to generalise women, it is ALWAYS okay to generalise men.
