I keep seeing this content that’s “men are so stupid and inferior and awful” and it’s grating on me.

That's because it's troll bait. Just like all generations have a bigger than wanted set of shitty people. I don't feel like I can take this shit down because it's not breaking any rules. You all can help by not falling for the bait though.

Femcels are a thing. :\

It's really prevalent, but it's unfortunately hard to call out, especially irl.

I upvoted because the two panel underneath is mocking the ragebait post.

The thing no one wants to admit or say is that while the modern (MeToo and onward) feminist movement certainly has good intentions, its been broadly co opted into a kind of pop-feminism that's about as actually feminist as tik tok psychology advice is real psychology.

Its morphed into basically just a semi-formalized worldview of mystic misandry.

'Manifesting', the Patriarchy as essentially an evil spiritual or god-like entity or force, which everything else is oriented around and against... while simultaneously claiming that adherents need to 'de-center men' ... near total abandonment of any attempt to empathize with the 'other', active glee in demonizing them... whole bunch of 'creators' just vying to be the most bombastic mini cult leader...

Its even got a discernible dialect.

They believe dogmas. When you try to inquire as to the basis or validity of those dogmas... they attack.

You get a bunch of faux psychoanalysis of how you could possibly have ended up so broken as to question their... you know, idea that they can't or won't actually defend.

Its like a religious fundamentalist launching into a semi-canned apologia response.

I will say i have zero appreciation for "nice" things and the house looking cozy or whatever. If it were up to me I would live in a bare apartment with everything painted white and minimal furniture. And there's nothing wrong with that and i have no reason to change.

Of all the things that are wrong with me and perhaps other men, this is just not one of them, it's just a style preference, there's zero morality involved. Whoever doesn't like it can just not fuck with me, just like i dont fuck with decorations.

Because for years, people could be as shitty to "men" as a general category as they wanted to be, and no one was allowed to call it out. Anyone who did try to call it out got labeled as a right-winger or a misogynist or a redpilled men's lib chud.

People literally started saying "misandry" is a misogynistic dogwhistle. As if calling out shittiness and hate implies that you're actually peddling shittiness and hate for the other.

Maybe for someone who believes the only way to combat hate is with hate, then calling out hate might be seen as hateful. But if that's the case, then it reduces life to a zero-sum game, and if that's the case then it's anything goes, survival of the fittest. I for one don't believe in such a bleak vision of the world.

But for years any attempt to call out misandry was met with vitriol, usually proving the point but no one seemed to see that.

I've been saying for years that these double-standards are toxic and destructive. I've been destroyed on reddit multiple times for it, back before I got permabanned. I've had multiple arguments over it here too, and people just dismiss me as "sexist" for it, even though they're the ones being sexist.

So honestly, it's kinda nice to see a post that says, subtextually, "What this person said is very shitty" when showing a misandrist tweet. And it's nice to see people agree that it's shitty.

It feels like the world is waking up a little, like it might finally be ready to look itself in the mirror and realize that no hate is excusable.

People are talking to people in real life less and less these day. The people they do talk to tend to be of the same gender, this was a thing before the Internet but the Internet has made it worse. Combine that with algorithms where the first thing they learn about you is your gender and will feed you content accordingly, peoples view of the opposite gender becomes more and more distorted. So the terminally online people, that also make a lot of the content on the Internet, tend to become misogynist or misandrist.

keep seeing this content that’s “men are so stupid and inferior and awful” and it’s grating on me.

Because there are groups specifically circulating ragebait to radicalize young and impressionable men into right winged radicalism. People see this all over the internet, but what do you see in real life? In my experience I have seen plenty of examples of casual misogyny in real life, I've never really seen any form of "misandry" in person.

I first read that as "horse stuff" and was wondering if horses were suddenly in now

Typical mysandrists. Dumb as fuk

you are being logical and thoughtful and acknowledging a complex reality.

the people who push this shit live in a black and white world where all men are scum and should aspire to not be men. these are also the same people who will complain there are no 'manly men' left.

they are gender supremacists living in a delusional reality of their own making. they simple hate men for existing, just men who hate women hate them for existing. except for when they are sexual fantasy objects.
