They call us "manchild" meanwhile they can literally babytalk 24/7, act like they're living in Disney, throw tantrums, have middle school levels of drama, and more.

A shame tactic!

A woman I was dating called me a manchild, once.

I was working full-time to live on my own during school (as my parents kicked me out when I was 18), while her parents put $3000 into her account monthly for living expenses and paid for all her schooling. When I mentioned this, she basically did the surprised Pikachu face, like her brain simply shut down. When she did find her tongue again, she told me that $3000 wasn't that much.

In retrospect, she was kind of an idiot. Women generally don't understand how much they're coddled because they learn everything they know from TikTok.

Often it is a bullying tactic to control and/or change them. It means the man won’t do what they want or be how they want, so they try and shame them into it.

See the response if men infantilized women.

In reality, a man child is a really immature man who still thinks he is a kid even though he is in his 40s. But for women, a man child is a man who has boundaries and who is saying facts about men's issues.

Guys usually get the manchild label is they are unable to handle adult responsibilities or still live at home.

It's only "against feminism" if you ignore what feminism is about. A way to attempt to insult men for displaying even the slightest humanity. That's very on brand for feminism

Weaponised therapy language used to dehumanise men because unpicked misandrinsts need to feel better about their own pathetic lives.

I was called a manchild once by an ex because I have kind of an impish personality. I guess the term "shit disturber" would be a more modern term. Anyway, she called me a "manchild" so I responded by calling her a pedophile for dating, and sleeping with, a child. And now we know why she is an ex.

It's a common manipulation technique to lower the person that don't do what you wan't
Emasculation

A manchild is a term used by women for a man who still has hobbies and enjoys things.

Welcome to the world of women. They can contradict themselves and still make sense of it

Men crying is a sign of immaturity—if you're called a manchild then it's for different reasons.

Let's not conflate the two and mischaracterize feminism and fall into a gender war.

edit: my bad i meant maturity guys T_T crying *IS* a sign of maturity, earlier honest typo

Basically everything women claim they want in a man = manchild.
