There is a subreddit, I won't mention the name to avoid brigading accusations, which presents itself as a male-run, feminist, safe space to discuss "men's issues". Looking at what they write and post is not just funny, but a great reminder of what awaits you should you be seduced by the mangina side. Let's being.
The self-description
Welcome! [subreddit] is a community to explore and address men's issues in a positive and solutions-focused way. Through discussing the male gender role, providing mutual support, raising awareness on men's issues, and promoting efforts that address them, we hope to build a healthier, kinder, and more inclusive masculinity.
Right off the bat, this "male" space declares that its principal problem is fixing masculinity. Let it be clear: men are the problem. Sounds like such a genuine pro-male group right?
The top-all-time most upvoted posts
Going through these is honestly hysterical. They read like a parody that could have been written by someone here:
\1. "[subreddit] stands with women on International Women's Day"
Aaaand their number one thread of all time is celebrating IWD, in fact virtue-signalling that they "stand with women". What does that mean? nothing, of course: it's the usual SJW slacktivist bullshit where you declare your allegiance to a cause and hope to win brownie points. This female mode of thinking is indicative of the subreddit population: women acting as shepherds for their political orbiters, MtF trannies who've shot themselves up with enough estrogen to grow DDs, and castrated nu male types who might as well have transitioned too for all the good their alleged balls do them.
\2. "Ridicule for politician's tears is a great example of men's issues and how emotions are seen as "weakness""
An opinion piece decrying that men can't spill their purses in public without a measure of reprobation is apparently the subreddit's second most important piece of content ever. Because right after pandering to women on the political level comes the pandering on the emotional one: oh how they wish they could be like women! so "strong"! so liberated!
\3. "Men all over The Netherlands are holding hands in solidarity with a gay couple who were brutally attacked"
Well now, at least number 3 actually involves a male problem in some fashion. But even here, it's still limp-wristed pandering to a PC cause that doesn't even involve most of the users on the sub. For a place that's supposed to be for "men's issues" there sure is dearth of them among their top posts.
\4. "When Men's Rights Means Anti-Women, Everyone Loses"
You thought the next one might be a legit men's issue, eh? nah. Number 4 is self-flagellation over the Men's Rights Movement, a sort of two minutes hate against those bad, bad men who hate women by meekly asking for equal treatment before the law. Bad MRAs, bad!
\5. "As a feminist for men's rights, I'm delighted this sub exists"
You got your hopes up? think these guys might have given at least the fifth spot to themselves? think again: the fifth spot goes to a feeemaaaaaale who gave them their oh-so-desperately-wanted approbation, and is consequently showered with their mass validation.
\6. "Don’t romanticize sex crimes against boys — it’s still abuse if the abuser is female"
Finally, after paying homage to more worthy causes, spot number 6 goes to an actual legit men issue. Hooray right? not so quick: the following spots are filled with more self-flagellation, warnings not to stray from the feminist path, pandering to female-centric concepts and in general a lot of estrogen spilled all over the place.
No fun allowed
One thing I noticed is that there is nothing, absolutely nothing among the top 25 results that looks even remotely joyous and is about men. The only "joyous" shit is the forced enthusiasm for female-centric topics like IWD. Everything that concerns men only is depressing, either a complaint or more often an item of self-flagellation.
The headspace of the male feminist is depressing as shit: the only source of joy is kowtowing to feminism, and everything that concerns him is either wrong or, at best, weak and pathetic. That is their self-perception. It's no wonder that, whenever they show up in real life, male feminists look like depressed prebuscent boys or queers: the choice is either suppressing masculinity or making the jump to a "queer" identity and gaining an oppression badge, moving up a rung on the oppression scale and abandoning the land of perpetual self-abasement that is straight white male feminism.
Lessons learned: don't fucking become a male feminist. If you are one, and I know some of you sad fucks are reading this, just delete that shitty reddit account, cut contacts with your "friends" (you'll never fuck that genderqueer "chick" you met on Tumblr anyway) and go join a gym; a real one with free weights, not the garbage where they offer feminist self-defense courses. I guarantee as soon as we get testosterone back into your system you're going to feel a lot better.
