Over the past few decades, women have made significant strides towards equality. But while we celebrate such accomplishments and notable gains, females still continue to face injustices every day. When unwanted remarks, unpleasant experiences, and offensive behaviors seem to be normalized in today’s society, there’s still lots we can do to build a more gender-equal world.

Thanks to feminist, writer, and video content creator Mohammed Farhan, we get to see informative and concise clips about these issues. He’s shining a light on the common problems women face and points out the problematic actions of men concerning each of them. While addressing toxic masculine behavior, he’s also sharing how to properly react and what to avoid doing as a man.

We have collected some of Mohammed’s best quotes, full of wholesome masculinity, empathy, support, and respect. So take a look, upvote the ones you agree with and make sure to share your thoughts in the comment section below. Psst! Don’t forget to check out Part 1 of this post right here.

@turtleneckemo Let’s reframe the discourse on birth control. Women unfairly bare the brunt of the issue. #feminist #feminism #feministiktok #misogyny #patriarchy ♬ original sound - Farhan

Sex with consent is just sex. There's no such thing as "consensual sex". The same way there's no such thing as "non consensual sex" That's r*pe. We have sex and we have r*pe. When we go swimming we don't call it "breath swimming" or "non breath swimming" We call it swimming, or drowning

Where I live, this is most commonly heard when celebrities or politicians are accused of "impropriety." You'll get stories like "Local Politician Had Non-Consensual Sex with a 15-Year-Old Prostitute" when the story should be "Local Politician Raped a Minor."

That grown man does not think you're mature for your age. Women his own age, just see the bum in him. He's a predator, he's preying on you because you have less experience in identifying his red flags. Instead of getting into his car report him to the relevant authorities

Previously, Mohammed shared with Bored Panda that the best approach to fighting sexism and toxic masculinity revolves around early education. “But more importantly, I believe, is teaching young men of their specific roles in the patriarchy and how toxic masculinity is dangerous to both themselves and those around them,” he told us. 

We reached out to the video creator to find out what changes happened in his life over these past few months. “I finished my Master’s degree, and am super proud of how I did. So I’m currently a Master in Politics and IR,” he said.

“Regarding my social media, I’ve been able to gather a large enough platform to officially help out with loads of initiatives and organizations such as The Female Lead and Women’s Equality Party.” Mohammed mentioned it has been “super nice to be a part of, and such a great learning experience” to be surrounded by incredible people.

It's terrible a teenage child ends up in that situation of becoming pregnant, by force or by accident. That Plan B pill should be available to teens just as easily as pads and tampons, and without shame. To be forced to go through an abortion or to carry to full term is both hard on their bodies and both can be further violating and traumatizing. Although, I do think it's good abortions are legal, here. I don't agree they should be glamourized as an easy fix suitable for all. It's not, and safe abortions still come with risk and psychological/emotional trauma. How about we start teaching boys respect towards girls.

Margaret Atwood once said... if you asked a man what he's most afraid of in women. He will say "being ridiculed or laughed at" but if you asked a women what she's most afraid of in men, she will say "r*pad and murdered." That helps contextualise things

No one is saying that violence against men is okay. But we should also recognize that women are FAR more likely to be murdered or raped by their partners than men are. (Stats show women are twice as likely to be murdered, and four times as likely to be raped.) That's real, and it's something that men, especially men who date women, should recognize.

When asked about his followers, the creator said he could group them into three distinctive categories. “Firstly, many amazing women follow me who see my content as a safe place,” he noted. “Many have told me it brings them a lot of reassurance to know that a man can align himself with the struggles of women and that, because of this, they know it isn’t an alien concept to hold other men to that same standard.” 

“Secondly, we have the men who send me countless messages in solidarity with my videos,” he continued. They say “they feel more comfortable being active on the same issues, as I have shown men can be vocal allies to the cause and create a vibrant community of supporters and contributors.”

“Finally, we have the hate.” Mohammed explained that the majority of the hate is through men saying “I am emasculating myself for what I do. To them, I say—my masculinity does not require the oppression of women, and for that I am a much healthier and happier individual with amazing personal relationships because of it.”

I noticed this all along. Don't tell women to "close their legs" just because she has kids. That's disgusting. For every woman who has kids with multiple men, just think of how many kids those men have with other women.

“Men make up half the population and maintain much more than half of the institutional privileges and powers. If any progressive movement (especially feminism) is to do well—it would require not just the support of men, but the vocal alliance and the physical activism too,” he said. 

Fortunately, he sees a positive change in our society. “Recently, many men have taken up this mission too, such as Justin Baldoni—and in this, I see a real shift happening in the success of the noble goals of the feminist and larger class-based issues!”

Mohammed is really grateful to all his supporters: “You’ve all been invaluable and I cherish every lesson and experience I’ve been fortunate enough to share with you. This year, there are a lot of big things coming, such as a YouTube channel I’ve been preparing for the last 3 months, to larger initiatives with other organizations and people I’ll be announcing soon,” he revealed some of the upcoming events in his life.

Bored Panda also had a chat about toxic and healthy masculinity with Dr. Jesse Matthews, a licensed clinical psychologist. “Toxic masculinity is an extreme version of common masculine traits like strength, courage, and independence,” he told us. 

“These traits, as well as masculinity and femininity, exist on a spectrum and are perfectly healthy when not taken to an extreme. Masculinity becomes toxic when it becomes about power and dominance, disregard for others and for consequences, and rejection of anything seen as feminine or not masculine.”

But the truth is, it was men who withheld those rights in the first place. Women had to die, fighting to recover the few rights they have today and there's still a very very long way to go.

Matthews explained that such a macho attitude is harmful to those who ascribe to it “because their focus is on obtaining or holding power and showing others this tough, impenetrable exterior, rather than relating to others in an honest or genuine way.” This mentality also has serious consequences: “It leads to loneliness, lack of connection, and often anger, depression, and use of unhealthy coping skills like displays of aggression and substance abuse.” 

“Toxic masculinity harms others who are victims of it—women, of course, and also other males who are viewed as feminine or not masculine enough,” Matthews added. “Endorsing toxic masculinity also affects those closest to the person, including their partners and children, since the relationships and role modeling may be about the man holding power and never showing weakness.”

When men are not being open or vulnerable, it’s hard for them to form deep connections. “And, of course, boys raised by someone demonstrating toxic masculinity are likely to internalize the same thinking,” the licensed psychologist continued. Meanwhile, “girls may feel less than the males in the family or could become submissive in their interactions with males.”

Men with toxic masculinity often have negative views towards women’s rights because it “involves keeping power over others, most of all women,” Dr. Jesse Matthews added that this is essentially the basis of sexism. 

“Since traditionally men have held more power, they may view this as the natural order of things and as something they don’t want to give up. Women’s rights are about being treated equally to men, so men who believe they are entitled to power over women are likely to resist this.”

When it comes to men with healthy masculinity, they actually have most of the same traits, only in more moderate amounts. “In addition, they do not fear having some degree of feminine traits. And this has absolutely nothing to do with their sexuality or how manly they are! Common feminine traits include sensitivity, empathy, vulnerability, self-awareness, and cooperation.” 

He continued: “A man with healthy masculinity may be strong, independent, and assertive, but he can be these things without disregarding or seeking power over others. He can be successful in whatever his goals are, yet still care about other people, seek support or ask for help when necessary, and help others or work cooperatively with them.”

Also you know they only want young virgins. I’m 37 and still a virgin, largely because I heard about how strong and savvy women are expected to be when dating and was like “I think I’ll wait until I’m mentally strong enough to deal with that”, and I somehow doubt those men are thinking of women like me when they bang on about wanting virgins.

I'm about to show you two graphs about the way that men look at women and girls. Individually these graphs are scary, but when we put them together. The image is absolutely HORRIFYING. The first graph asked a group of women what age they were when they first noticed them being sexually looket at by men. The second graph asked men between the ages of 20-50 to put down what age they found most sexually attractive. An important part to note in this second graph is that 20 is the LOWEST age they were allowed to choose

I had to open it in a separate window to see, but the chart on the left goes from age 7 to 18 (with TWELVE [!] being the highest bar), and the chart on the right shows the men's answers, which are mostly 20 or 21, with the oldest being 24. Ew. Just... Ew.

Age 13 sat on some steps talking to friends. Next thing I know, 'she likes to flash she's got pubes now'. Upskirting of innocent teenagers is huge. I mean I know who started the rumour. Much older brother of a boy at school. Today he'd get called a paedophile. Back then I was a flirt. And a dirty b***h who needed teaching. Was awful. Had a good mate get tied to a chair in the bike sheds at school. Had her underwear removed, had hands all over her whilst she screamed. Police were called and it was all 'boys will be boys' keep your mouth shut c********a and the school told her off for making a fuss. And threatening the school's reputation. She was so traumatised, and she got kicked for it from all sides. Couldn't even tell her side of the story. Nothing more than good gossip. It ISNT just men it is the patriarchal system that prevents women from having a realised voice outside of their sexualised bodies; that is the real problem.

This is disturbing. I could not have been more than 7yro when I was touched by a grown ass man. And it was just downhill from there. The charts do not shock me as horrifying as they are. I remember feeling embarrassed ashamed and like i had done something wrong. Society has continued to instill those beliefs in young girls and women through time. It is disgusting and so refreshing to see a young man laying it out so clearly. I want to his tiktok page, straight to the comments and the males who are the problem out themselves and are so easy to spot. It is long past time that women stop being blamed for the things that are perpetuated upon them by men because of their choice of clothing, or friendliness. Women are NOT required to be kind to spare someone else's feelings when it comes to their safety or comfort. Love this guy!

My only complaint about this graph is that I was sexually assaulted (felt up) by my brothers father when he was 3 days old & 7feet away. My mother was taking a shower and I was 6yrs & almost 3 months. I wouldn't be surprised if there are women or even girls younger than that you have had similar or worse experiences. That's why I'm still a virgin until marriage at the age of 44. I'm waiting and looking for the right man for me that doesn't see me as a sexual object first. That's the positive I got from that experience. To this day I've encountered too many frogs. Or Jekyll & Hydes as they actually present themselves. Very few princes that just weren't for me is another pile. The oldest I've ever been hit on was maybe mid 80s. And that was when I was still in my teens. Absolutely disgusting.

Sex is part of the animal part of the brain, as soon as puberty hits and breeding is possible, the urges set in if they are not kept in check by self-control. And since one can harass thousands, few with lack of self-control are enough. There is a result missing from the second graph. "The same study found that the age range of women men say they are most interested in tends to fall within their own age range."

Society tries to tell us that marriage is something women SHOULD want and men typically try to avoid. However new research has come out that indicates where married men benefit significantly compared to their single counterparts. Married women suffer DEEPLY. From a decreased life span to increased levels of stress, anxiety and depression, but the real kicker is the fact that... married men are likely to do better in their career ladders. Whereas married woman are less likely to even get a raise. So the next time a man tells you "marriage is for the sake of women" Know that they're either selfishly lying to you, or require a bit of educating
