I'm a significantly short guy. I agree people should be respectful and not mock others for things they can't change about themselves. I don't really agree that women not being as attracted to shorter men as taller men is an "issue" in and of itself. I suffer from it, but in reality, I'm attractive in other ways and don't find myself to be suffering in the dating realm, despite the occasional rude or insensitive comment. Maybe I'm oblivious, but while I can honestly say that I'm very aware of how…

Well I can respect that response, always was probably too strong. I do think it's the best framing in general, but in specific conversations it certainly could be irrelevant to bring it up, depending on the context.

I'm interested why you think those are 2 bad points, thanks for the response. There must be some sort of global reason that people even want to talk about men's issues in the first place, and many people are convinced that women are much more oppressed; so logically we have to counter that. How would you propose doing so? As for the stats that make women look bad, frankly, the Women Are Wonderful effect is a thing and it's a large part of why nobody wants to help men.

I don't care about the upvotes per se, I care about them as an indication of what people are engaging with. My recent post about being a "provider" because you pay for a woman's meal was practically viral; my post about relative rates of depression was almost ignored. Seems to me that depression is more important than who pays for meals, yet clearly the average user of this sub cares more about the check.

Triggered much? Pardon me for having an opinion on the content I offer to this sub. Labeling me as "part of the problem" is insubstantial, to say the least. Why am I putting in so much effort, even when the posts I consider most substantial are barely noticed? Whereas the ones where it's easy to get mad at someone, like the #MenAreTrash cuck I screenshotted, get plenty of attention.

Hmm now that's an argument I've heard before, and by which I'm not totally convinced. The '93 bombing was performed by a combination of Egyptians, Pakistanis, and more Egyptians. Hardly the Wahhabist bastards you claim. But Bin Laden fits that label, so you're partially correct. But you're continuing to focus on Bin Laden, who is just one man in a much larger religious and political issue. As to your claims of an American desire to "reshape" the Middle East, I'd lay that responsibility purely on…

Most relevant quote: Older age, being male, having a less recent episode, and having less depression-related impairment were associated with DIS underdetection And an interesting anecdote from the study: Two more cases revealed episodes in the midst of other physical disorders. For example, a 51-year-old man attributed depressive symptoms to his chronic back pain, which he stated “is more disabling than my doctors believe it should be.”

Bin Laden would have been delivered on a silver platter by the Taliban, with kind regards, had the US chosen to provide them with the fig leaf they asked for. This is a non-sequitur mate. Not only would Osama's extradition be but a drop in the ocean in regards to Islamic terrorism, it's not even true. Gaddafi put out an Interpol warrant for Osama way back in 1998, yet was Osama extradited? No. So I don't at all agree that the Taliban would have extradited him. It would not be politically conveni…

It states that there are more reported instances of depression and anxiety in girls/women. That isn't comprehensive or conclusive. I don't see why you're in this sub if you're just going to push normative ideas that undermine men's ability to get attention for our problems.

There ARE fewer men with depression You can't prove this. You can only record the people who self-report as depressed/suicidal, which invariably are majority female. You're not accounting for male under-reporting. and there ARE more men who suicide. THIS is much more objective; we don't need dead people to self-report, so it's more clear that these stats are actually accurate.
/r/MensRights17/09/19 12:19 PM
1

Idk what "go get depressed means" but it's hard to tell when men severely under-report pretty much everything. That being said, the fact that there's dramatically more men committing suicide indicates there are a boatload of men who are depressed but who are not represented in statistics about male vs. female rates of depression.
/r/MensRights17/09/19 12:17 PM

Because they're trying to kill themselves. "Attempted suicide" is often women doing something statistically non-lethal in an attempt to get attention. That's sad and deserves attention, but it's not attempted suicide.
/r/MensRights17/09/19 12:15 PM

The idea isn’t that more suicides happen just that they are more likely to happen with access to a lethal tool. These are contradictory statements.

You're conflating the politicians with the people. Yes, American politicians are fairly bloodthirsty, but you also claimed that American people believe all bombings in the Middle East are about "freedom." The reason all politicians nowadays claim the Iraq War was a mistake is because that's what the majority of Americans believe.

Involved in what? The CIA allegedly armed Mujahideen during the Soviet-Afghan war during the 80s, but that was helping Muslims. I say allegedly because Bin Laden hinself claimed that he saw no CIA interference, but who knows why he said that.

The initial invasion of Afghanistan made zero sense. The Taliban requested evidence of Bin Laden being involved in 9/11in order to extradite him. Rather than hand over that evidence the USA invaded, killed thousands, toppled the government and installed warlords and drug cartels in their place, and in turn created an entirely new generation of terrorists. That's excessively reductive, to say the least. I recommend reading up on Robert Fisk's The Great War for Civilization. Extraditing Bin Laden …

"Afghanistan is a clusterfuck" is true, and it was true before the US military showed up. It is that way because it is not truly a country with a cohesive political system or culture, or even language. It's a country manufactured by the English. The reality is, Al Qaeda was operating out of Afghanistan, and therefore the initial invasion made sense. It's continuing to be handled poorly because of the inherent political issues in the country that can't be resolved. It's disingenuous to throw it i…

Nothing is wrong with being a provider. There is something wrong with expecting men to be providers by default, as we now live in Western societies where women get help, men and boys don't, and ultimately women are becoming more powerful than men. College attendance and graduation rates are a prime example.

Right, but you were talking about other people too. I'm making the assumption that if you hate someone, as you said, that you don't have a preexisting arrangement to pay 50/50. Anyway I don't really have a desire to go any further into your personal finances, if you want to subsidize other people's meal, it's a free country.

Sounds like you were raised to have money siphoned out of you. If you enjoy providing then that's good, but if you're just doing it because it's how you were raised, I would reconsider whether it's actually in your interests.

If you're gonna invoke "science" then you gotta provide some links. Those are incredibly broad statements. Regardless, it's possible you're generally right, I was simply providing my own personal experience, which probably doesn't mean much to you.

Nah I'm talking about polygamy, or you could say hyperandry. The societal model you're talking about, monogamy, is indeed quite widespread globally. But men taking advantage of many women is common in smaller social settings, such as cults (think about Mormons: why do the young men go so tremendously far away on potentially dangerous "mission trips"? Why not just help the local homeless?). I'm saying that, theoretically, DM evolved in smaller societies as a reproductive strategy for super-alphas…

Alphas have a lot of say, cucks only have as much say as we let them. The latter are Uncle Toms and should be offered an olive branch; they are weak people and latch onto whatever they think advantages them most, as they believe themselves incapable of giving themselves advantages. Either we can rhetorically beat them into submission, or help them and allow them into the MRM without allowing them to subvert the movement. Personally I'm in favor of the latter, the more the merrier.

Feminist logic is pretty trash, but I can't say every feminist "tactic" is totally wrong. "Calling out" people who have publicly demonstrated themselves as bad people is fine. Calling out people who may or may not have been bad in private is wrong, we should reserve judgment until there's conclusive evidence.

It definitely shows that overall violent crime rates declined among both sexes; however an overall 10% change in who is committing violent crimes is a huge change. And it's an ongoing change, not just something that randomly happened between 95 and 2017. I think from 2016 to 2017, male violent crime actually increased by .6% and female violent crime increased by 1.6%. So still more than double the rate. Violent crime has actually reportedly increased during the Trump administration, though I'm n…

More violent. Organized crime syndicates are increasingly employing women because many jobs can be done just as well as women, and women get out of prison much faster (or avoid it altogether). Not really relevant for white market employers but highly relevant for the black market.

Aside from women with schizophrenia, I don't think they believe it's rape at all. They want attention, and sometimes money (Blasey Ford). They want to feel like victims, and they know exactly what they're doing.

Sure, but "I regret it and I don't want people to think I'm a slut, therefore I'll call it rape instead" is not a feminist concept. If you live in a conservative religious environment, sometimes it's easier to call extramarital sex rape than admit you did it.

I have a lot of faith that the MRM will grow dramatically over the next 2 decades. The internet has really damaged the reputation of feminism, that is part of it. But also, feminism was only really possible because women in a typical homemaker role have vastly more free time to engage in activism than men. As more men become unemployed, and of course more men are able to freelance and work from home (usually programming or online businesses), men will also have more time to organize. I can only …

That's increasingly happening, and will happen faster as more and more men are unemployed because of automation.

Protesting is a form of arguing; calling it "unmasculine" is illogical and counterproductive. I don't think that protesting alone is going to accomplish anything, but it's an important part of public discourse. To ignore it is to throw away an important tool for displaying public sentiment.

Traditional gender roles are underpinned by our biology. The disposable male role is not underpinned by our biology, it is a social construct designed by men in positions of power to utilize men productively while simultaneously reduce the amount of competition for females. Our individual biology is designed to help us maximize our reproduction, being put in dangerous situations by default is not advantageous to the average male's ability to reproduce.

Well, that's one way to look at it. While I do think that applying privilege to any particular individual is wrong, it can still be accurate to a category of people in a very specific sense. The issue here is that men aren't privileged over women in divorce and family court, it's the other way around. I don't see an issue acknowledging the privilege that demonstrably exists.

Women literally have the ultimate responsibility of growing and birthing the child. This is not a burden placed on women by society, it's a natural burden.

The facts show that the victims of childhood genital mutilation in America are literally 100% male, except for a couple newsworthy cases. So that would be not 100%, maybe 99%? I don't think it's productive to make it look like it doesn't happen at all. "100% of victims are men" is an exclusive statement.

It's an organization that uses DNA testing to exonerate wrongly convicted people. Before DNA was regularly used in court cases, eyewitness testimony used to have more influence and people like George Gage would go to prison because 2 people said he did it. The IP isn't unique but they're probably the best-known organization that does this kind of work.

This is definitely why people hate feminism. You can tell people that it's "not real feminism" or whatever, but ultimately people will associate this with feminism and hate it. Since you're so eager to defend feminism with the No True Scotsman fallacy, maybe you should reflect on why it is that this woman's rhetoric and behavior bears a resemblance to feminist rhetoric, to the point that it's associated with feminism even though she never used the word.

Kavanaugh appears to be guilty of lying due to multiple eyewitnesses corroborating his drinking, a written account of him drinking, self-referencing "boofing" (that would constitute a confession).

Women have more reproductive rights because it is happening inside their body, not the man. The man has zero risk involved in the pregnancy. No health issues, no risk of death. I know you think this sounds smart, but it doesn't. Yes, it is true that pregnancy does not occur in the male body. However, this does not mean there is no risk for men.

America has higher rates of violent crime, or so we're told. It's just part of the 24-hour news cycle in the US, we're exposed to tons of crimes.

It's because people know who Serena is, only ardent tennis fans know who Thiel is, so the simple-minded organizers are thinking "let's get rid of unimportant person and replace with important person." Not intelligent long-term thinking but sexism has nothing to do with this shitty decision.

The reason you're bitter and spreading your generally hopeless worldview is because you think success = money, especially more money than others. Whereas emotionally stable people do not think it takes a 6-figure salary in order to be either happy or successful. If you bother to research high-paying jobs, you'll see that they tend to take far more than 40 hours a week; examples being high-level litigators, doctors, and investment bankers. They do make bank, but in the process sacrifice a larger …

Agreed, I've said the same about tradcons before. That being said, the "Mens Rights" movement is pretty small and doesn't have much of a presence outside of Reddit and random websites like a voice for men. We do need to find the ample common ground we have with tradcons and use that to help elevate difficult issues, like the terrible portrayal of men in the media, to the public consciousness. We can't trust them to help on issues of male vulnerability though, like domestic violence. They just do…

I think you make valid points, but ultimately it is the victim's responsibility to use the legal system the way it should be used. Police officers use discretion when pursuing investigations (or not pursuing) because they often have more work than they can handle. From a police department's perspective, him not pursuing charges against her indicates that he doesn't think she's as much of a threat as someone who does pursue charges. In a world with infinite resources I would agree with your idea,…

To play devil's advocate, when she was examined she had bruises on her ankles that she claimed were from struggling when she was allegedly raped. I'm not really sure why you feel the need to "play the devil's advocate," because so far as we know there is no evidence that they had sex. Speculating on why she has ankle bruises is an interesting diversion but so far as we know has nothing to do with this case. It's just completely irrelevant.

I looked through that page, it doesn't say that the birth father has to consent, only that he has to be notified. It's also noteworthy that the birth father's allegedly abusive tendencies are considered relevant; as has been shown on this subreddit before, through the civil court system a protective order can be easily obtained without evidence, creating a paper trail of "abusive" behavior. This issue is more complicated than you're letting on, I'll assume that's because you haven't sufficiently…

She definitely does lol. It is extremely illegal to just dump your child somewhere (like a dumpster). For example, in my home state of North Carolina, it's a Class 2 misdemeanor to dump your baby. I'm not really sure why you're trying to argue with me about this, maybe you think that mothers have an inescapable moral responsibility to care for the child? If so I agree, but holding all women to that standard and legally forcing them to perform that responsibility is going to result in even more m…

So you don't believe that the mother should have any responsibility at all. Why? ​ I believe she has the responsibility to safely surrender the child in a facility equipped to receive the baby and process the surrender, so that's not an accurate statement, is it? ​ Bad people usually come from bad homes. Single parents, on average, produce children that die earlier, are poorer, and have higher rates of criminality. Disadvantage of a single mother + being raised by a mother who doesn't want the c…

My boy, I'm not your enemy, I didn't misquote you. There should always be a chance for a father to reclaim a child who has been put up for adoption by the mother, safe haven laws or not. I should've been more specific in what I meant by "It's the adoption system as a whole that needs to respect paternal rights more."

We don't hear a peep about these "deadbeat moms" though, instead we get crickets and a system that supports them abandoning the child at a safe haven or putting it up for adoption without the fathers consent or knowledge. From what I've seen, safe haven laws put a ceiling on the baby's age. The range I've seen is from 72 hours to one month old. Obviously you can give up a child for adoption at a much older age, but at that point the process is more arduous and lengthy than just dropping the kid …

Single parents aren't inherently bad people, but it is an inherently disadvantaged position for the parent and the child. In a typical 2-parent household, the parents share their incomes so much as possible. With child support, the non-custodial parent (usually the father) pays about 20% of their after-tax income. And there are two households, meaning that there's less money left over for the child. On top of that, because there's only one custodial parent, more money is required either for dayc…

In a rape case the woman's unsupported word is sufficient for conviction and rape shield laws not only limit the defense, but they make the judge an advocate for the accuser (his job is to prevent her from looking bad, exculpatory evidence is often disallowed).

That's prosecutorial misconduct laddie. If the evidence is explicitly exculpatory, it has to be shared. If it's not explicitly exculpatory, then they don't have to share it. I've had this discussion before with lawyers, the adversarial system is better because it doesn't have the fatal flaw of relying on people to be morally good. If we used the European system, we would have a lot more men in prison for looking at women the wrong way. No system is perfect but ours is better.

But like anti-feminists, it will remain a small group so long as the MRM isn't too oppressive. Female anti-feminists are the mirror image of the men we're discussing.

I'd say it's just as much chauvinist men as it is women. Male judges favor women in custody disputes and just give weaker sentences in general. This is not to shift the blame completely to these men, but I've had too many men tell me things like "We have to protect women" or "You can never hit a women." These ideas precede feminism. They are both part of the problem. I'm not going to pick one or the other as more important, but it's easier for men to influence men than for men to influence women…

It's not okay, but it is an explanation. Which should not be confused with an excuse. This is part of the puzzle of why there are more male rapists than female rapists, it's largely to do with the fact that male-on-female pedophilia is dealt with, whereas female-on-male child pedophilia is not.

Well it doesn't need to take it into account. Whether or not, after adjusting for access to children, men or women maltreat children more than the other is purely academic. For the MRM, the value of these stats is to show that women aren't any better than men. This probably seems sexist and unnecessary, but given the Women are Wonderful effect, it's necessary to undermine the idea that women are less violent, or generally better than men.
/r/MensRights04/02/19 06:59 PM

I really doubt that women are THAT much more violent toward children on a biological level. Postpartum depression does result in more violence from women toward infants, but shouldn't extend to toddler age and beyond. These stats are likely due to the fact that women have so much more access to children, so I'm sure single mothers have something to do with it. What really interests me is sexual abuse from fathers vs. mothers, but I haven't been able to find that in the report.

He is inciting violence, which is not a form of speech protected by the US's first amendment. Vigilante justice is wrong, but considering this at least violates a city ordinance of some sort (for example Disorderly conduct), he should've been forced to alter the sign at least. I don't really feel like taking sides here is good, she was wrong to be violent, and he is also quite clearly endorsing rape. Someone had to do something, and the law failed to do anything.

Here's a video of a woman punching herself in the face before reporting her husband for domestic violence.

Ok lol a few things: Sapient doesn't mean what you think it means. Most adult humans aren't sapient. The word you're looking for is "conscious" or "self-aware."

Well I'm actually making a different argument: I think women should be drafted.

Women aren't inferior at the actual killing part (pointing and shooting a gun), but they unilaterally fail to qualify for the most physically demanding roles, like frontline infantry. The main reason is because of their inferior endurance and difficulty carrying large amounts of weight on their back, which is a basic requirement for infantry. Women do in fact get into firefights when serving in support roles like medic, I'd challenge you to show that they underperform in those circumstances.

Besides the two parents This statement assumes both parents should be raising the child. It also assumes that a man who unwillingly fathers a child is a "parent," which is a subjective designation.

If increased child welfare would actually improve children's lives, then I would agree.

The ideal situation for an average man would be if he had one partner that was exclusive with him with who he also had children, and other temporary ”partners” on the side as he desired. You do realize this is unsustainable, right? Unless the main female partner is polyamorous herself, there is no way (in a society with roughly equal numbers of men and women) for the average man to have a monogamous female partner as well as other female partners. If the average man monopolizes a female, that le…

So clearly the change in gender roles has, at the very least, not led more men to suicide. And suicide is the most objective measure of happiness, happiness surveys are completely subjective and entirely dependent on the sample and the questions asked.

This is a good point on your part, thank you for doing the research; however two things you're neglecting here: Modern procedures (elastic bands) are more effective, meaning effectiveness is increasing for tubal ligations. Modern procedures are outpatient, contradicting your earlier contrast between vasectomies and tubal ligations. So it looks like tubal ligations are becoming more logical.

Well we don't know which hospital specifically, so that's an unreasonable request. But here are the guidelines for US Catholic healthcare services, and here's the relevant excerpt: Direct sterilization of either men or women, whether permanent or temporary, is not permitted in a Catholic health care institution. Procedures that induce sterility are permitted when their direct effect is the cure or alleviation of a present and serious pathology and a simpler treatment is not available.
/r/MensRights13/01/19 07:29 PM

And they no longer do tubal ligations because of their belief that "Preventing life = murder." Which means they will also not perform vasectomies. Go read about Catholics and birth control.

Well she mentioned that he's deathly afraid of vasectomy for illogical reasons, so that's the explanation. I wouldn't expect my wife to do something of which she's deathly afraid unless it's absolutely necessary; and in this case tubal ligation is an option, so there's nothing "necessary" about him getting a vasectomy.

Yeah I did. He's selfish no doubt. But so is she for thinking he's morally obligated to get a surgery, she can get a tubal ligation herself.

She is only thinking about herself and somehow believes she can make decisions about his body.

That men are inherently more violent than women. Statistically men commit far more violent crimes, but realistically this is because men are taught 2 things: You should not deal with your emotions in a healthy way, which leads to explosive anger later.

You don’t know what it’s like to be hassled when you walk down the street or you get dragged out of a car.

MGTOW is A solution, not THE solution. Men are perfectly capable of rallying around their own self-interest, which is another solution. If you want to remove yourself from traditional society, that's fine by me, but don't sabotage another solution with your unwillingness to understand that you don't have all the answers.

Fine, GYOW - away from this sub. MGTOW has its own sub for a reason. This post is an attempt to discuss rallying to improve the legal and social situation for men, and you are detracting from that.

This is the guy who said white people can't be poor. I won't get worked up about him saying anything wrong or offensive, let him get blasted in the media for legitimately bad or wrong statements.

You have provided no evidence. If you are correct, provide evidence. If not, take your alarmist bullshit elsewhere.

Provide some evidence that "most" judges are "trained" on Duluth and VAWA. Judges don't even technically need a practicing certificate, so if they refused CLE, they would still be able to keep their job.

It is a calling out This is precisely what people don't like about modern-day feminism; I'm sure you weren't being literal, but directly calling people out (especially on social media) is a feminist behavior nowadays. Calling out an individual for "toxic" masculinity will result in thta person hiding their true beliefs, rather than changing them. Call-out culture is just not effective the way you want it to be.

Well I agree that what feminists want, which in some cases is literally just to confine men to camps, is definitely worse than a "traditional" Western society. But I encourage you to think about whether gender roles are based on morals; the traditional family unit treats men as expendable. It's not moral at all, simply pragmatic for a certain time period. Nor does it make sense now, as it was most suited to the Neolithic era, when you wanted to maximize reproduction via expending males rather th…

Because whenever it's time for a woman to take up the male role, within 30 seconds we hear caterwauling about what a terrible burden it is. What would be the funniest example of this kind of behavior?

Actually, a lot of conservative spaces are gynocentric. The typical conservative mindset of "man works, woman stays home and raises the kids" is generally advantageous to women. Compared to a full-time employed person, a mother has incredible job security, a more sympathetic employer (if you view the father/husband as the employer), and much more authority over the employees (children) as they have no freedom to just leave. As to whether the regressive conservative's ideal society is preferable …

It's a nice video. She's a unique perspective but says things that have mostly been said before. I appreciate her and I hope that we can find more ways to present the more vulnerable, good side of men's humanity. I think we get enough of the evil, violent side in the news on a daily basis.

...you'll take this seriously when everybody agrees with you? Even crazy people like Elba?

We should be accepting of Braugher's attempt to help men and promote this messaging, instead of acting like it's not enough.

It doesn't really sound like these kids were compelled to get circumcised the same way that infants are. Still an idiotic decision but this is more a stupidity issue than a right issue, which is why we have this subreddit.

Isn't that Trump's whole appeal though? He's totally in your face with his personality and (alleged) wealth. In contrast Hillary is constantly trying to cover up her wealth (won't release transcripts of speeches she's given at Wall Street companies) and puts out hilariously bad "relatable content" like this.

It's funny that you assume I am claiming it's a fetish. I do not, I am saying that from an outside perspective, a person arguing in favor of uncensored circumcision footage sounds very much like someone with a fetish.

You're right. But I find it very hard to make an argument for why they should uncensor it that doesn't sound like someone with a disturbing fetish.

Eh it's not really as pertinent. As he points out, anything that happens in civil court (i.e. not a criminal matter) is not subject to the restrictions of the 5th amendment. So really she's just reinforcing what she said earlier about filing for POs in civil court. I just mention it because she quite literally says what's wrong with the situation.

This is a great video, using so many primary sources makes it strong. That being said, weak start with the "ums" and using Wikipedia as a source, so that's something he should keep in mind if he wants to build the audience. Also, if you listen to 12:56, she admits that temporary protective orders are granted without due process.

it's why they ignore the fact that Ted Bundy was sexually abused by a woman! I briefly looked through Bundy's Wikipedia page, didn't see anything about this. I'm not really familiar with him though and would like to learn more. Can you point me to a source that talks about him being abused? If there's a good source for this, then it's a pretty strong statement about how serious female-on-child abuse is.

Generally speaking your approach does sound reasonable and logical; however the specific issue on which you're engaging is an illogical use of your time. Some women trying to restrict themselves to less than 10% of the dating pool is a problem for those women, not for men. If they want to have idiotic standards then go right ahead. There is no serious impact on innocent men in this issue, because these stupid women aren't the kind of people you want to date in the first place.

I understand your drive to push back, but keep in mind that feminist efforts have long been stymied because of individual feminists behaving in hysterical ways. You can find mockery of these sorts of individuals practically anywhere; I remember reading about overzealous feminists in Kafka on the Shore. Really not the place I expected to find that. If you don't want to be perceived as hysterical, how exactly do you separate your viewpoint from that of feminists who are triggered by anything even …

Dude the Mensrights subreddit is not the place to be complaining about meaningless double standards. For a point of reference, I am a man in his 20s, I really don't care if someone calls me sexist to my face, let alone online. If someone does that, I just tell them the truth: It's normal and natural to have beauty standards, and some women just aren't attractive. Yes this is a double standard, but it's not a problem worth complaining about.

Dating is a free market, so here's why this isn't a problem: Women's demand for men will stay the same. The supply of men who meet these criteria is impossibly small. Sharing of this rule is akin to unionization; however the dating market is impossibly large and competitive such that women will never unionize. In other words there are countless "scabs" to take the place of "strikers" who think they are too good for most men. So in reality this kind of bullshit has no effect aside from making cer…

It's probably not the same people dude. All feminists are associated with each other whether they like it or not, but I'm sure that the feminists saying these two contradictory messages are generally two different groups of people.

They are feminists so long as they call themselves feminists. It's an open-ended movement with many different viewpoints, as its history shows. Saying that they're "not really feminists" is giving moderate feminists a free pass to ignore the words and actions of the more radical feminists; the moderates don't deserve the freedom to disassociate just because they don't like what the radicals are doing and saying.

Really all he's guilty of is an unintentional sexual innuendo; no denying that "want something more" can have a sexual connotation when he's referring to a hug. That being said, there's nothing wrong with saying he's interested in more, whether sexual or platonic. It doesn't seem that he persisted so there's no harassment, just hysterical behavior from women. We really need to start shaming women for this kind of stuff, they have no idea what it's like for men to always be the one to approach to…

Literally at any time, a woman can come up behind you and stab you in the neck. Leaving you paralyzed for life. That is of course the same for men, men can do that... but when you are dating/married to a woman, you're far far more likely to be terribly harmed by a woman. If you think that physical violence from women generally involves a contest of strength instead of an ambush, think again.
