“Fragile Masculinity”: 40 Men Whose Masculinity Was So Fragile And Toxic They Had To Be Shamed Online
The feeling of your identity being threatened is a vicious one. Whether someone makes a flawed assumption about your religion, questions your sexual orientation, or just insults your favorite sports team, being attacked on a personal level really gets our blood pumping. And that's natural. But there are better and worse reactions to it.
People online come together and share pictures of men trying to protect their masculinity in the most toxic and unnecessary ways. The screenshots and pics provide an interesting glimpse into what triggers these insecurities and add a bit of satire to point out some of the most irrational examples.

Thought Of This Sub When I Saw This
I did that once with my little sister and I had to take it away from her because they started sewaring TwT
I love this. Always great to get into a game where a girl just wrecks shop.
I have a couple of friends who used to do this when playing Halo. It was so so so good.
WAAAAAYYYYY back when MMOs were new my son made a character in Asheron's Call that was female. People didn't doubt that it was a girl playing. Him and my wife both ended up fully kitted out in the best gear. Me, playing a male character, had to make due with whatever. (Though I did get stuff they didn't need from others largesse.)

"I'm a big supporter of women's rights I have a wife" Someone please explain to this dumpster fire of a traditionalist how correlations work. Might as well reason "Of course I love animals! I'm a butcher!"
A butcher could still love animals, yet they could also love eating them

But if you tell these types of men that high heels were originally worn by men (in jobs such as butchers, to be precise, to keep their clothing away from the blood on the ground) ... oh boy, can you even imagine the salt?
Would seem a lot easier to just shorten their trousers.
Load More Replies...Fun fact. Suffragettes were caricatured and satirised as have big pockets in Edwardian times. In the single frame cartoons of magazines such as Punch it was one of the mechanisms for identifying them for lampoonery . This fackwit isn’t even original
Trying to figure out what lampoonery means... google doesn't know either :(
Load More Replies...The fashion world as a whole decided to stop giving functional pockets to women to force them to buy handbags and purses. My mom used to unpick the bottom of the pocket and put a pocket extension in using the same type of material by running it through her sewing machine. Her deepest pocket was 35 cm deep, and she used to crack dirty jokes about it
Then they sell those tiny handbags that can't hold more than a buck worth of change.

Many of these, let's call them, statements seem to stem from men's frustration with communicating with women, especially romantically. A majority of the fellas we see in the pictures view it as some sort of power struggle where they must have the upper hand. While this dynamic might be suitable to some couples, by thinking that everyone must acknowledge it they're setting themselves up for conflict as often people are looking for the complete opposite.
"Vulnerability is the key to intimacy," Robert Taibbi, who is a licensed clinical social worker with nearly five decades of experience, told Bored Panda.
"It is about stepping outside your comfort zone and saying what is difficult to say. It is not about the content—what you actually say, but stepping up and saying what is difficult. Often the other person doesn't realize the risk you are taking, so you need to talk about this as well."
Welcome To Reddit, Where Not Hating Women Is A Crime
Yep. It's real, and makes me fearful for women how bad it is. Post any article about women getting anything given to them by the government, for instance for being killed by their partners getting a shelter, and men will pour in saying "men are abused just as much!" uh, no. 8 times as many women are killed by their partners. But men will insist that the facts are lying and hiding the truth about how violent women are.
I think MRA is Men's Rights Activists. Not sure about MGTOW and was going to ask that myself.
Load More Replies...This makes me think of a conversation I had online with a narcissist a few days ago. He found my tone of writing "agressive" , while in reality I was only telling him the things like they really were. He ended the conversation with a threat... I answered him he mistook me for someone that might take him serious 😁 I'm sure he didn't enjoy it. Why? Because he was used to verbally mistreating his wife for over 40 years and she finally was able to leave his sorry a$$. He really thought I would be more understanding for his side of the story.
I'm on Reddit and had to rapidly learn what areas were safe and which ones to avoid.
no, you moron. the only way you & all the other mgtow lunatics are going is down a very dangerous path. the only reason you feel the need to "go your own way" is because you don't see women as equals. women aren't against mgtow because they need men; women aren't children or animals, they're more than capable of supporting themselves & living their own lives. women, & many people who aren't women, are against mgtow because you dehumanize, infantalize, take advantage of, & even carry out violence against women just for being women. you're just an incel under a new name but we all know you're the same immature hateful piece of s**t.

According to Taibbi, "too many men feel hurt but hold it in—it eventually builds up causing some explosion that they feel bad about and then try to sweep under the rug."
"The key is to talk about problems as they arise, to talk about you and your emotions, avoid the blame and getting into the weeds of whose reality is right," the author of Doing Family Therapy, said. "Help the other person know what you are most sensitive to and what you need most from the beginning, and not sweep problems under the rug — solve them."

Not From Reddit But I Thought It Fit Here
'You don't agree with me, therefore you simply don't understand'. Some people just cannot comprehend someone might disagree with them or that they might be wrong.
I've totally been guilty of this. I find it comes from my extremely fragile ego. If someone disagrees with me, then I must be stupid, so I have to prove that I'm not stupid by explaining it until they agree with me. I'm working on accepting that someone disagreeing with me has nothing to do with me. It's ok to disagree, and it's ok to be misunderstood.
I agree. My mum is one if the most stubborn people in the world. She'll never, ever, ever, ever accept you don't agree with her, and she'll never, ever, ever admit she made a mistake. It's exhausting!
Load More Replies...Men can be very terrible at explaining things. Lots of times I've explained something wrong, but then was able to get my thoughts in order and explain it better. Or the way I was saying it was emphasizing a different point then the one I was actually trying to make, and then I explain my point better and it is agreed with. Women do this to.
My ex-husband used to say that to me. "If you don't agree with me then surely, I am not getting through to you because if I was getting through to you, you'd agree with me" smh.... I wasn't allowed to have an opinion of my own.
I bet he did not react well when he found out you were divorcing him
Load More Replies...My ex would said this, and I'd always respond that he was the idiot for confusing my understanding with my disregard of his stupid idea.
Taibbi thinks that some of the most common insecurities men experience in romantic relationships revolve around not feeling accepted, feeling rejected, or doing something wrong that will cause the other person to pull away or end the relationship: "If I am honest and vulnerable will you listen and hear what I am saying?" "Can you appreciate what I'm doing for you?"
Nowadays, however, 63% of young men (ages 18-29) report being single, compared with 34% of women in the same age group.

If men want more compliments, they should put more effort in their appearance. Women have to deal with thousands of beauty procedures if they want to meet those ridiculous beauty standards and get criticized if they don't. and you just want to get complimented when you look like you rolled off your bed 5 minutes ago?
If men want more compliments, they should do more things that deserve compliments.
Psychotherapist, psychoanalyst, writer, and social critic Susie Orbach, agress that vulnerabilities unaddressed, often unknown or unnamed by the individual, can end up being expressed in brittleness and toughness.
"Being able to acknowledge uncertainties to oneself and to others is ... an aspect of strength," she wrote in The Guardian. "Cleaving to something unnamed that was missed can produce anger or despair. Boys didn't anticipate that there would be a rupture in nurture as they became adults; in other words, ... they wouldn't be able to simply rely on women's solicitations and [comfort] without showing more of themselves. Girls knew that they were 'supposed' to give support but were growing up to think of economic and emotional equality, not protection."

It's Not The 23 Women, Deshaun Watson Is The Real Victim!!
Oh no, not the accountability! Not the concequences of their own actions!
Calling people out for bad behavior is not cancel culture- that's facing consequences for your actions. Social media has made it possible to have consequences to the things you say and do for the first time in history. However, pointing out something someone said or did when they were 12 as a reason to fire someone 25 years later *is* cancel culture. The difference is a perspective and reasonable logic toward the offense. People are allowed to make mistakes and learn and grow. There needs to be room for that in life. A 16 year old making a tasteless joke because ...he's a 16 year old idiot... isn't the same as a 35 year old grabbing a woman and bragging about it or demeaning women at his job, etc. There needs to be some perspective. Certain things aren't forgivable. But a person I know got called out for a 'yo mama' joke he made when he was 17 and someone was offended by it because it called a woman stupid and I'm like...really? I understand we want to try and stop bad behavior before it becomes a habit, but are there not bigger things we can be fighting for? We get so caught up in this minutiae that real issues get swept under the rug.

She was with him before he was a bazillionaire, spent 25 years as his wife, is the mother of his children, and gives away billions to help vulnerable and disadvantaged people. Wow... I guess that 25+ years of being a faithful, loyal wife, devoting herself to him and their family until he cheated on her and humiliated her in public and broke up their family indicates what a vile human being she must be.
Ms Scott is a savvy woman, whether she "plotted" divorce based on stock price is a gray area only an insecure man would ponder, one thing for sure, she's done a heck of a lot of good with the money she has.
Furthermore, Orbach believes that machismo doesn't achieve the desired effect of putting women in their place.
"That ship has sailed," she said. "It has offered a fundamentalist pull which endangers all of us; men, women, children, non-binary and trans people. It's time for a new conversation that opens the door to speaking of vulnerability and nurture as essential for all of us, and as an aspect of strength – as an antidote to toxicity."

The “Egalitarians” Are Mad That A Woman Doesn’t Feel Comfortable Filming Sex Scenes For Male Directors
She also doesn't want to do them if there's no reason for them, plot-wise!

What movie was it where the director changed how a brutal rape scene was going to be performed but didn't tell the actress because he "wanted her reaction to be more real"? I think it was 90s and a really well known hot blonde actress.

Calling Out The Hypocrisy Of Fragile Men On The Internet
That's so true. Women are too stupid to vote and too dumb to make decisions, but they are master manipulators who have a massive league of underground hackers who can run an operation to keep all men down and get them all in trouble because....???
When it comes to how men view themselves, 31% say they are very manly or masculine, 54% describe themselves as somewhat masculine and 15% say they are not too or not at all masculine.
At the same time, relatively few men (9%) say it’s very important to them, personally, to be seen by others as manly or masculine, while 37% say this is somewhat important to them.
Muh Fragile Masculinity!!!!!
i wonder why as well, because extreme feminists DO exist & they do indeed say hateful things about men. to be clear, im extremely feminist & you can see me yelling at a "man going his own way" earlier in this list. obviously, misogyny is a much bigger, more violent problem than misandry & has been for centuries. however, there are feminists who won't even speak to men, but not in the way that the average woman would avoid speaking to a man she doesn't know for safety reasons. these women refuse to speak to men because according to them, men are all unintelligent libido-driven brutes with the capacity to hurt anyone at anytime due to their low anger threshold & general stupidity. yes, yes, i know "not all men" is obnoxious & unnecessary in most cases, but some people really do think all men are genuinely bad people just because they're male. any man who tries to defend himself against this type of feminist gets insulted & ridiculed until he gives up & leaves with a bad opinion on feminism. obviously not all feminists are like this, but a small group is (& unsurprisingly, many of the man-haters are terfs). hateful displays of anti-man feminism such as this: https://media.discor...63862417830.jpg are a big contributing factor to anti-feminism & anti-women groups such as incels, mras, & mgtow.
Load More Replies...There are plenty of things I've heard women say that are horrible toward and about men. Saying there isn't is not doing anyone any favors. Women can be entitled, women can be abusive, women can be disrespectful when talking about men (because guess what...women are capable of a lot of things the boys are! Which is kind of the point...). Acting like they aren't is really just giving in to the stereotype that women are somehow more delicate or shouldn't receive the same punishments for crimes as men. Or that they aren't 'capable' of it. Which gives politicians rights to say we are somehow in need to men to make our decisions. So how about we just all stop being irrational and hateful and take a look at our own bad decisions and bad choices and stop blaming other people's genitals for all the problems in our world. There are plenty of reasons to dislike someone if you look close enough; taking it to a male/female level just makes YOU look stupid.
Wrong website, I'd try taking a look on Twitter and entertainment "news" websites to find some. Stupid sexism isn't a matter of gender, men and women both have a fair share of idiots in that regard.
Of course google doesn't give you *MANY* results. Because nobody calls it out.
The OP needs to be more specific. Any mention of the injustices women are subject to constitutes an "anti-man" comment to some people.

Talking About Marie Curie
Didn't they originally say that the Nobel prize was just for him and he made a complaint saying that the work wouldn't have been possible without her input, and that it was a joint effort so they deserve equal praise? I understand that they also declined to accept the prize in person.
Be a completely equal partner in your research with your husband. Collect 2 separate Nobel prizes in different categories. Die of radiation poisoning because you and your husband basically discovered it and thought x-rays were cool party tricks and hadn't yet learned the dangers so took no precautions. Be the only person to ever achieve a Nobel prize in multiple sciences. Slightly more accurate.
Then why tf did she get two Nobel Prizes and he only got one? Or her and her daughter become the only mother/daughter duo to win Nobel Prizes?
Their daughter, Irène Joliot-Curie, also won a Nobel Prize, though her father had died 29 years earlier. She must have been REALLY good at piggybacking.
She was the first (and I believe only) person to win two Nobel prizes. One for physics, one for chemistry. She discovered two elements and a lot of what we know about radiation wouldn’t be possible today without her. Also, after her husband died, she continued to work, discovering and teaching more- proving that it wasn’t just Pierre.
she was the first to win two Nobel's, but she's not the only person. Four other individuals have also won two Nobel Prizes. She is, however, the only person so far to win a Nobel Prize in two separate scientific fields.
Load More Replies...you forgot a step, lets call it step 2A: Five years after your husbands death in an auto accident win a second Nobel Prize, in a field different from the first, thereby becoming (a) the first woman to win a Nobel Prize, (b) the first person, and the only woman, to win a Nobel Prize twice, and (c) the only person to win a Nobel Prize in two separate scientific fields.

I wonder which passage says this. I've read that book several times in two different languages and 8 different versions and didn't see any passage that said anything like this.
This is the closest I could find, New Living Translation: 1 Corinthians 7:3, NLT: The husband should fulfill his wife's sexual needs, and the wife should fulfill her husband's needs. 1 Corinthians 7:3, CSB: A husband should fulfill his marital duty to his wife, and likewise a wife to her husband.
Load More Replies...Where in the Bible does it say that? I have read my Bible cover to cover, and never found anywhere where it says a wife needs to pleasure her husband. The Talmud on the other hand says a man has an obligation to pleasure his wife sexually, she has no such obligation to him (it even states a woman can go to court to file for divorce and give the reason that he isnt sexually pleasing her, or he isnt having sex as often as she wants). And they cite the bible as their source for that.
The bible also has fathers diddling daughters and requirements not to eat shrimp. So?
The thing that I don't understand is, nobody is stopping them from behaving this way. They have the right to think and behave like giant nut sacks but that doesn't mean it won't have consequences.

The Only Thing Redditors Hate More Than Women Is Women That Want Equal Rights

Guy Is Upset That Sending Dick Pics To Strangers Makes Him Unfairly Labeled As “Sex Obsessed”
Call me old fashioned but I think the "initiating sex" thing should happen a little bit later than the first conversation.
yep. looks like he's missing a few steps between "hi" and plonking his d!ck in her face :)
Load More Replies...I love that a d!ck pic is considered initiating sex to some guys. Also, before you even get their names, see them, talk to them about literally anything... That's how you initiate sex with a hooker and even then that's a bit disrespectful to the hooker, but at least she's being paid. Guys want to treat women like hookers and then get mad when women react as if they're being treated like a hooker.
I think he missunderstood several things there. To be honest, I never understood why other guys send d**k pics without being asked in the first place
When I told a bloke I was seeing I didn't want d**k pics he asked if I was a lesbian. No I just don't want photos of your d**k.
Maybe I am wrong, but I don't think that is "initiating sex"... I think I am pretty familiar with it, but d**k pics were never involved at any point.

Load More Replies...F**k Women Who Don’t Change Their Name!!!
Women should keep their own names. I hit so many deadends in a genealogy search because the mother was just Jane or Sara. Some records from Europe in the 1600s or 1700s don't even list a mother in the official birth records, just the father. The woman was just a uterus to give the man heirs. It's maddening, those women have no record of their existence, women were basically disposable. If a man's wife died he would just replace her like he replaced a cow or a horse. So men today need to stop acting like a woman doesn't have a family or an identity.
If you ask a man to take a woman's name there's a weird feeling about that for most guys. Well, women aren't your property so we don't want to always change our names. It's fine if you want to...that's your preference. But guys act like they don't understand this but you present them with the opposite option they suddenly understand it.
What I married I kept my surname and my husband legally changed his to match. It’s a personal choice and to be honest, whatever you call yourself it’s no one else’s business but your own.
Tradition = peer pressure from dead people. Selective dead people from a limited time range because if you go far back enough the thing they are opposing was probably okay like men wearing skirts
I hyphenated mine. I was 30 years old when we got married, my family name is just as significant to me as my husband's is to him ( hes the one who brought up to me that it was my choice whether I wanted to change my name or not). But I still wanted the joining of families thing, so I compromised with myself. Although I do feel like maybe I should have mentioned him doing the same, so we would both be hyphenated surnames.
Unless it was to something like Princess Consuela Bananahammock (and not only cos of the female title) I'm pretty sure my partner wouldn't care what I change my name to.
My brain is not processing…too early…someone please explain
You gonna hang your hat on a tradition? Go live with Punxsutawney Phil.

People have the right to not be attracted to someone for any reason. The problem is when people mistreat people based on perceived attractiveness or loudly announce their "preferences" in contexts where it's not called for. This is something that is done to women at least as much as it's done to men, but these dudes don't see it because women they're not attracted to are invisible to them.

Don't get me wrong...you can't force attraction. I get if someone makes a drastic change to themselves that makes it difficult to continue your attraction. You aren't a monster and we shouldn't tell people that they have to be attracted to someone. But love is different. If you married someone I assume you love them. That doesn't just go away over a bad haircut and if it's enough to make you think about leaving someone then you didn't love them, you loved their image.

I'm assuming we're not talking about an illness, but bald heads do not fit everyone. On guys they may be a little better than a comb-over, but MOST people look better with hair than without. So no, you cannot *expect* someone to continue to be attracted to you if you change your appearance.

I'm so torn about this issue. The very logical/rational part of me agrees that women who are born biologically male have a massive advantage in sports. They have less fat, stronger muscle tone, they don't go through menses. We penalize and even disqualify people for taking steroids for this very reason- it creates an unattainable advantage for the other players. This isn't about bias it's about safety and fairplay. If you have male-born and female-born wrestlers, the MB could seriously hurt the FB. That being said... I despise that lawmakers are using this as an excuse to try and govern their obvious bias and hatred. I'm such a huge supporter of trans people and I think they should be allowed to live their lives as fully as they want. But we have to use common sense. We should have weight/measurement classes like they do in boxing. Mike Tyson could kill Oscar De La Hoya, you know? That's why they separate the classes and no one has any issue with that.

Women's sports, because many female athletes have complained that Trans athletes are winning many competitions, costing these female athletes scholarship opportunities because they were unable to finish in the top 10 in their region. While the right has taken the lead on this, many on the left and top female Athletes like Rhonds Rousey, have come out in support of such legislation claiming it isnt fair, bc trans women have some biological advantages when it comes to strength, size, and speed to biological women.

Why do I get the feeling this was written in response to Alloy from Horizon. Meanwhile classic character Samus gives him a rocket powered middle finger.
I've always had mixed feelings about Samus. Nintendo has this track record of Almost getting it right, then tripping just before the finish line. In the first Metroid, Samus is a bad@ss bounty hunter in power armor, fighting her way through alien hordes, and it is never even brought up that she's a woman. And then your reward for beating the game is that the faster you beat it the more clothes she takes off, posing in a bikini for the best times. Hrm. Or when they finally gave Peach a game. She gets to be the main character, rescuing Mario for a change. And they gave her powers based on a sexist's idea of PMS. She literally has powers based on wild mood swings. Really? Really Nintendo?

97% of women experience sexual harassment. 1 in 4 are raped, and it’s 1 in 6 for under 18s. Maybe that’s why a lot of girls and women are coming forward about their experiences

Assuming these statistics to be true, the reason behind most of them is that, due to men being told they must be "powerful", "strong", "in charge" etc, they often don't know how to express emotions or get help with their struggles, leading to violence (prison) and suicide. These things are the result of male privilege, and why I try to tell the men around me that it shouldn't be "men vs women" but "everyone vs the patriarchy". The patriarchy is better for men than women, but that doesn't mean it's good for men, and everyone should try to dismantle it.
Agreed, that's why feminism is about equal rights for everyone. Men shouldn't fight this, it's to help them, too!

78% of suicides are men= maybe men are not willing to get help for reasons that have nothing to do with women and if they stopped calling guys 'pus$ies' who do try and get help, this would be a lot less. 93% of inmates are men =men commit more crimes. 80% of murder victims are men= committed 90% by other men. 98% military casualties are men = because women have only been recently allowed in the military because of rules MEN created, and STILL aren't allowed at top levels because of boys club mentality. 92% of workplace fatalities are men = again, because a lot those jobs won't even consider hiring women. We aren't talking about physical jobs on an oil rig or crab fishing...just jobs that are high on the list of dangerous like airline pilot, roofing or garbage collectors, auto repair, etc. Men often won't even take the application because they don't want to work with women. Women in general are not the cause of any of these issues so how does it relate to male privilege?
This just shows that patriarchy works against men too, in many ways. Smash the patriarchy.
If these statistics are true, why would we want such an ill-starred group to control society? Secondly, don't these numbers indicate that men would benefit greatly from change?
Homeless, prison & murder are manly drug related problems. Nothing to do with the patriarchy.
Addictions are a common symptom of psychological trauma. Men don’t get emotional help as often as women. The patriarchy is very much at play.

I mean the Simpsons are yellow colored, its all animated fiction, I felt this was going overboard. Unless the person is putting on an accent of an ethnic group, for animation there should be no issue.

Uhm, the simpsons characters are all yellow except Apu and that one doctor (as far as I know). And besides, I understand getting upset at whitewashing characters in real-life movies and series, but for voice acting? that´s kinda weird to me.
This is very true. by trying to make everything better people are making it worse, and this goes with a point I made earlier. Elliot page should never have played Juno if he was a boy all this time he took work away from actual women actresses. and anybody thinking this is a dumb argument is correct, but you can't have it both ways when they contradict each other.
This is objectively correct though. It is racial segregation. You are told who you can do the voice of according to your skin color. Also, what if you are 3/4 of that ethnicity? What % do you have to be? Only an SJW can get mad when faced with something that's factually correct. Telling people who they can voice based on their race is actual, bonafide, first ballot hall of fame racism. And you're okay with it. That's why SJW's are so pathetic. They are the world's biggest hypocrites. People who don't care about race at all (many actors voice all kinds of characters on a given show) being told they can't do this or that character based on race, by people who want racial equality?

Mostly a thing online and in the media industry, not so much in real life
*the. "Thee" is the old-fashioned second person singular pronoun which was replaced by "you".
Is this serious? We get CONSTANT narratives about "toxic masculinity". To ask for examples is insane.
Criticizing a set of behaviors/beliefs is not equivalent to saying these people are inherently bad. I’ve yet to see an example of the latter. And that’s what’s being requested here.

Lol Women Want To Kill All Men, Look At Me My Gender Is So Much Funnier Than Yours
I love watching these ladies on TV. I miss the ones that have passed away. Jennifer Saunders, Dawn French, Catherine Tate (Gran was a riot), Sarah Millican, Victoria Wood (RIP), Sally Phillips from Smack the Pony, Caroline Aherne, Her scetches in the fast show were fantastic!

"Women aren't funny", says a guy while laughing out loud during an episode of a "manly" tv show, whose writer was a woman.
I'm a huge stand up fan and there's a part of me that I hate that really does like male comedians more. A part of it is that there are just more to choose from. But women can sometimes be...ugh. I swear it's not because of their gender, men just don't talk about things a lot of women tend to talk abut over and over. Guys have a way of delivering a line that is just funnier sometimes. Women also tend to think vulgarity=funny. Men make this mistake, too, but there are so many more male comedians to choose from so you can dismiss them. Or it just hits differently. However, the female comedians I love I REALLY love. Ali Wong is funnier than the next 100 guys who follow her. Eliza Slesinger, Sam Jay, Kathleen Madigan....they're better than the next 20 guys that get on the stage, seriously. I say that with no bias.
Can't say much about comedians as I rarely watch such shows, but there are a lot of funny women on the internet. Ellen Rose from "OutsideXtra" or Ashley Nichols, to name two
Amy Schumer really is unfunny. I don't like comedians that only talk about crude or crass subjects and that's all amy schumer has.
I used to not like her but I've recently rewatched and I like it a lot more on the second watch. I really liked her special 'Growing'. I think that's her best special and a lot less 'vagina vagina vagina'.

They get paid more. They don't have to take maternity leave and then put to the bottom of the promotion heap. They had the vote years before we did. They owned women as chattels in the past. Historically, women could not divorce men in many societies. Think Taliban and their 'rights' over women. On a personal note - my father told me (F) at age 11 that he would not let me go to university 'because you'll just get married so it's a waste'. So yeah, men did and still do control many of the 'rights' that women are wanting to exercise.

Load More Replies...School's have required girls to cover up in their legal handbooks and you can be expelled. Guys can have their pants halfway down their asses and it's fine. If a woman is raped and gets pregnant, the rapist can sue her for custody or visitation. Women's rights to privacy in the doctor's office are legally not protected. If a man wants to get Cialis or needs to have a ball removed for cancer, that is kept private but a woman wanting an abortion can't, even if her life is in danger. And some lawmakers are requiring their names (and anyone who even helps them to be fined) on a public list. A woman isn't even allowed to get birth control without the husband's consent in some places. Or she can be refused anywhere. No one can refuse Cialis or Viagra or condoms without getting fired. And if the doctor told anyone about it, he could be sued. In fact, the doctor is allowed to refuse to answer in court. I literally don't have enough space to name dozens more.
Part of the problem is this person is only thinking about US legality, too. If we take into account the lack of rights around the world, the disparity opens up quite a bit.

Some women will let you hit them, too, it doesn't mean it's not a criminal act and shouldn't be done. And if you truly don't know that you're a psychopath.

Pontifications On The Likelihood Of A Woman Going To Jail
I got arrested at 17 for underage/open container. The guy in court before me (18) was arrested for underage, vandalizing a hotel room, suspicious white powder on a mirror, and solicitation. I received a $500 fine, and two years probation. He was told "A fine young man like you doesn't need this on his record. Go to college. Dismissed." I was top of my class.
That's so cruel, I hope this hasn't skewed your whole life!
Load More Replies...there are fewer women in jail because fewer women commit crimes. wow imagine that.
While this guy is clearly a jerk there is some truth to the fact that men's sentences for the same crime tend to be harsher. But guys- if you think women aren't just as angry about that as you are...you're crazy. Whenever I see a story about how a couple sold their kid for drugs or did something horrible, the guy always gets 50 years and the woman get 20 with a chance for parole after 10. It's not right. In a lot of cases, if anything she should have gotten a harsher sentence. I'm a feminist and I think she should be punished just as severely. I don't care about the fact she suffered abuse or whatever. Maybe he was abused as a kid, too, and we don't take that into account. You sold your kid- you should go to hell nevermind go to prison.
Why do you think she should have gotten the harsher sentence?

Post get togethers for trips and activities with both other men and to even help younger fatherless children to come play basketball or to hang out. Make posts for younger boys who need someone on their take dad to school day. Make a forum for how to handle marital problems and how to deal with stress and pressure, or how regular guys can meet women and date. Make a great section on the site for how to do certain home repairs or car repairs. These are all super positive and good ideas for a men's forum. But that's rarely what it is.
Create a positive safe space for men that doesn't normalise violence and abuse. Same for women. Social media SHOULD be positive, even though it quite often isn't.

While inside, he was regularly beaten, received a LOT of abuse and was disowned by most of his friends, family & those he cared about. 4 years into his sentence new evidence was found that proved his innocence. Even though there are some 'there's no smoke without fire' people out there, he has his life back on track. He feels that 'the system' let him down, not 'Women' and still says that they should be believed and helped in the first instance, before looking for evidence.
Sorry but I somewhat agree. And if it was you going to jail, losing your family, losing your life for something you didn't do, you'd feel the same. But the argument isn't even valid; one thing does not necessarily relate to the other. You have the right to accuse anyone of a crime, but they need to be found guilty by a judge and jury, not the court of twitter. Women are not a special subset made of fairy dust and rainbows who couldn't possibly lie. They have and do. I've sat at tables with women who talk about how they're going to accuse their ex's of abuse to get custody of kids. Watch literally any court show- they can lie just like the boys do. Instead of believe all women we should stop shaming women for crimes committed against them in the first place, so they feel more confident coming forward and calling it out when it happens, not 10 years later. Allowing a sex crime to happen, for instance on a movie set or at a job, should carry the same weight as an accomplice to murder.
(2) So these people who let abusers get away with it and make the abused feel unsafe in reporting it will go to jail, too. Harvey Weinstein wouldn't have happened if all of these people in Hollywood who knew damn well it was going on would go to jail, too. His brother should be in jail, any directors who allowed it to happen on set and any other actors who knew about it should be in jail, too. Any cop/lawyer ever asking another woman what she was wearing when she was raped should lose their jobs. Any HR rep who doesn't report a workplace harassment claim or doesn't take care of the problem should be personally liable along with the company financially if they allow someone to discriminate against someone financially or sexually harass someone. Mediation at universities for sexual crimes should not be allowed. We aren't going to change men- so the laws have to protect us from the incels and jerks out there.

Found On Ew, About A Woman Running The Witcher
I mean, the Witcher show IS bad, but I don't think that has anything to do with being helmed by a woman. Well, not entirely, at least.
The author of the book American psycho hates the movie because it was directed by a woman. He can't name a single thing wrong with it. He just hates that it was directed by a woman
In this case I would to actually have to agree that the hiring choice was quite bad, as the lady in charge stated that she wanted the project to be more empowering for women than the source material was. One of the reason why Cavil (huge fan of the books) left the show actually was that they basically wanted to just use the name "The Witcher"
Does this dude know how much ROMANCE is in the books? Going on generalizations here men usually do prefer action and women do usually prefer romance the witcher books have enough of both I wouldn't say that they were meant for a specific gender.
The game was made by men, for fans of the book. The TV series was based on the book, not the game. And I think she did a pretty good job, she was clearly a fan that bought her own ideas and style.
Women Are Going To Destroy Society
Not really seeing that much of problem here. In theory this is right. It will destroy society if we let it swing the other way. We want EQUALITY not oppression of men. Any segregation built on an unchangeable (race, sex, etc.) will destroy society.
Umm...isn’t it men that would get away with murder, rape and other crimes? Even pass laws to get away with those crimes?
There is a part of feminism that does attack men and does put them down to lift themselves up, and stepping on the necks of others to lift yourself up has never lead to anything good.
Unfortunately the people that label themselves as "feminist" and turn around to hate on men, are not actually feminists. They are misandrists. True feminism is for equality for everyone.
