Toxic femininity

Anecdotal- had a friend who was pregnant but at first she just looked fat. Two different times other women just randomly insulted her in public.

Man : exists

Random person : You're a creep.

Man : retreats from society

Society : WhErE HaVe tHe gOod MEn gone?

/S

Is it really so hard for people (men/women/anyone) to just not be a dick to each other? Damn, sorry you experienced that enshittified member of society.

First they hate us, marginalise us and degrade us simply because we exist, and then they expect to paint us as the root of every problem in the world. Fuck feminists.

Short, native Alaskan. The girls in school and fem teachers were brutal. We didn't have many boys in our class, or as teachers. It got rough. Accusations of being a creep, being a stalker. I mean let's see we share 5 of 6 classes yes I'll be walking the same route to class in a small school, I've been falsely accused twice by white women. One a classmate who asked me to copy answers and I said no, so immediately I was accused of trying to grope her. Second time a girl asked me to go out with her. I said absolutely not. Not politely, just like that. Absolutely not. The next day I was called in and told I was being accused of verbally harassing her, making sexist remarks and being crude. It's not easy being a guy. And being one of only 5 male students in the building at my grade even my physical education was folded into the girls class, let's not get into that. That's some trauma inspiring shit.

Maybe the nastiest thing I saw from kids was when I was in the 6th grade. There was a very obese boy. One time during gym class we all had to walk by the girls gym class in our gym shorts. What those girls did to that poor boy was horrible. About half of them jeered the poor boy as we walked by. A few of them actually charged to within a few feet of him as they pointed at, and jeered him. The gym teachers all saw this AND DID NOTHING.

I'm nearing 70 now, and recall it vividly. I'll never forget it.

Same, given power females would just off every unatractive man. I experienced this my whole life.

Sorry you went through this. The silver lining is that you aren't under the delusion that girls are sugar and spice. My thoughts for you:

Average men (and even above average men) also experience this. Perhaps not as much, but it's a common enough complaint. You'll never avoid this completely, so don't expect to.
Not all women are toxic. There are good ones out there, so be cautious but don't close them out completely based on the way some were bitches in the past. That just hurts you.

Women: the difference between flattery and creepiness is Male Attractiveness.

Snord1976 · 2026-06-09T20:33:46+00:00

That sucks man, yes it's easy to be labeled creep. Protect your reputation, many times it's better not to respond to these kinds of accusations and definitely do not defend yourself to the accuser as that would imply they have the power to sit in judgement over you. They don't, and your response will be perceived as guilt or innocence.

DarthSwimfoot · 2026-06-10T04:35:09+00:00

Reminds me of those gym videos where some whore posts a guy glancing in her direction and then calls him a creep. Some people just aren't built for logic.

Dense_Newt_7008 · 2026-06-09T22:19:45+00:00

same man. Honestly, I've learned gotta detach yourself from your work and your happiness from other people's opinions- people who many times don't even like or care about you in the first place. Ive placed just being "content" and "peaceful" over everything else in life and I've only lost more weight, made more money, and cut out all the toxic family members and "friends in my life

Because as a man, you'll always have to deal with toxic femininity. Being in better shape and having other things going for yourself helps to counteract it.

I don't wish the shame and embarremsnet and abuse on anyone. People used to take photos of me at work or would Photoshopped a cow head or pig head on my body or worse, would only come up to ask me if i wanted their leftovers.
I'm still a bigger dude, but I've gone from 300+ to around 200, and it feels a lot better to just not be carrying all that weight around and have better options for clothes. Peptides like reta also help, but they're not for everyone.

Wish you and everyone here the best. Being a man is only gonna get tougher.

Street_Conflict_9008 · 2026-06-10T06:42:23+00:00

Just joke with it.

Ask "If I am such a creep, why are you coming over to talk to me?"

Well, it will frustrate her.

If she gets a negative emotion, say that is cute and laugh it off.

This kind of hatred comes from a dark place.

F-14D_SUPERTOMCAT · 2026-06-10T15:59:37+00:00

Maybe it’s cus I conditioned myself to be less hateful (ONLY on Reddit) as to not get banned, but aren’t these comments a little too aggressive?

Master_Attitude_3033 · 2026-06-10T22:26:31+00:00

Ain’t humans great! ::sigh:: sorry you went through that…admiring Nature is what we need more of!

Like beauty, ugliness is in the eye of the beholder, it's subjective, not an intrinsic part of any person. Someone telling you you are ugly or a creep is telling you something about them, not about you personally.

So, they don't like your characteristics, so what, you wouldn't want to know someone who doesn't like you anyway. Let them find their Chad and discover he doesn't want to settle down with them either, whilst you have reason and can explore solutions to what you want that don't rely on women who aren't interested in you anyway.

Stop drinking the Kool-aid that says women are wonderful and gods gift, when Eve got Adam and her metaphorically thrown out of paradise.

I was a nerd. I liked nerd things. I didn't have a mother. I was called many things. Emo, dork, nerd, creep, and a few others. I was made fun of a lot and it got to a point when I said to myself. I don't care. And I didn't care about anyone. I put my ear buds in, listen to avenged sevenfold, powerwolf, or sabaton. I cranked the volume so I couldn't hear anyone because I didn't care. I walk on the street and sometimes a girl will try to talk to me but I look forward and ignore her, why? Because I don't care.

Of course toxic Feminity exists. Women are just as toxic and bad as men. It’s not like being a different gender makes you a better person.
