It won’t matter if women make intelligent choices or not. Women’s groups will take that straw man, shove it down our throats and stuff it up our asses. It doesn’t matter that women are smarter than that. The mere possibility of a hungry child stops the discussion.

I don’t care about the “burden” on the state. The state exists to carry that burden”burden.” UBI is also unlikely to have a significant impact on working people’s tax burden. Any increased costs can easily be made up for by adjusting tax rates on corporations and on the wealthy. I am not spending much time on contraception, abortion, or safe haven sites as alternatives because men mostly get stuck paying support for kids they once wanted. Divorce is, after all, far more common than pregnancy fro…

What do you think will be an easier sell: taking the man's money out of the equation with nothing to replace it, or taking it away and replacing it with UBI? I'll give you a hint: one of them ends with children wearing no-name sneakers instead of top-drawer Nikes, the other one ends with children in line at the food bank. It'll be a hell of a lot easier to reform child support laws when the women's lobby can't argue that it will end with children starving. So no, I'm not astroturfing.

Men being forced to fund women's unilateral decisions is a gender issue. But the purported reason for that funding is part of a much larger a socio-economic issue. Implementing UBI should take away the need for financial abortion at the same time as it solves several other problems. For what it's worth, I think that access to shelter, water, food, and clothing are all basic human rights. For everyone. UBI makes all of those things accessible.

"Drain to the resources of the state" is Capital Class phrasing. It's exactly the sort of thinking the left should be denouncing. The state exists, in large part, to support its citizens. That includes financial support for those who cannot work. I am abbsolutely ok with the state supporting these women until they can get them to work rather than dumping that burden on men who no longer have any connection to them. For that matter, I'm also absolutely ok with mandatory paternity tests. I think a…

Universal Basic Income (also known as guaranteed annual income) is very much a left-wing idea. The capital class is violently opposed to it.

This is where left wing comes in. The government wants men on the hook for “child” support for babies they didn’t want, and those they are kept from, because then they can reduce welfare and other payments to these mothers who can’t / won’t work. If we were to implement guaranteed annual income, these women (and hopefully their children) would have e their needs met without bankrupting the fathers.

If he had been the older person in the set, it would be much harder for you to speculate because he would have been imprisoned. She should have been, too. That she managed to get away with it doesn't negate the fact that what she did was criminal. And she is physically abusing him.

He was fifteen years old when she started on him; she was forty. He was in no position to consent at the time. The fact that he has not been able to break free of her since does not change that, and neither does the fact that the victim here was a boy, or that the abuser is a woman. Do not give her a pass by calling what she did an "age gap relationship."

We tend to use others as a mirror: when we look at them, we see ourselves. Feminism focuses on women’s issues and it is anti-male. So when men’s issues are brought to a feminist’s attention, it’s easy to understand how they could confuse that with being anti-woman. There’s also a healthy dose of good old-fashioned deflecting going on there, too.

You were right to delete it, because saying that you distinguish among men is a lie. You've already been clear that you do not. What you insist on calling context is nothing more than excuses.

It's entirely true. Excuses notwithstanding. I notice you deleted your last sentence there - the one about how you only judge men in positions of power. That was probably a good idea, since you've been pretty clear that you do in fact judge all men. The expansion of your judgement to include 'white' people (were those supposed to be scare quotes?) does inject a nice dose of eurocentrism into your comment, though. I appreciate the variety, after your heretofore consistent sexism.

You need to learn when your input is not welcome. Humans are also animals who are not naturally inclined towards monogamy, who are prone to violence, and who are not born with respect for others' property rights. We can overcome these base instincts. We are expected to overcome them. Pattern recognition is no different. This is not a moral debate; this is you trying a "bullshit baffles brains" approach and generally making excuses for your own poor behaviour.

In general, I'm inclined to agree with you. I prefer to take the high road and extend a bit of grace. The person with whom I was interacting is a troll. She purposely made her way into a male advocacy space to pick fights and bother the people here. I have no intention of being the better person with her because I think that will just encourage her to be more offensive. There is a difference between being a decent person and inviting someone to continue kicking sand in your face.

Bigotry is bigotry and bigotry is wrong. All the excuse-making in the world will not change that. Insofar as goes sympathy, I wonder how much sympathy a typical feminist would have for a man wary of one-on-one interactions with a woman after personal or documented bad experiences. Should that be our benchmark for how sympathetic to be in those instances where we are the ones being stereotyped?

You are splitting hairs. You’re wary of a given man why? Because you have made a decision that he is probably going to be like certain other men. Thats a judgement. Based on your wariness, I assume you are going to treat him differently than you would have if he had not been make? Thats sexist. Do you think it’s ok to be sexist?

Can we stay on topic? We are staying on topic. The topic is isms. Sexism, racism … Can you tell me why you think it’s wrong of me to be wary of men for the reasons provided? It’s not that I think it’s wrong; it IS wrong. Because you are judging an entire class of people based on a personal characteristic over which they have no control. No man chose to be born male, nor can he realistically stop being male.

that’s how I feel about men I know. You don’t hide it well. What I don’t understand is why you are here on this sub. There are subs where misandry is encouraged. But before you go, let me point something out. I am judging a set of people who subscribe to a particular ideology. I’m judging their beliefs and their behaviour. Choices people make. You, on the other hand, are judging who people are. When you look in the mirror, do you honestly think you’re one of the good ones?

Enough who do believe “all women good and all men bad” that it’s not worth my time trying to sort them from the rest. Enough unhinged feminists that I don’t think we need to use the “self-proclaimed” qualifier - which is really just No True Scotsman in different words, anyway. We can just call them “feminists.” Enough that if I consider them to be representative of the movement as a whole, I may be be technically wrong but the difference won’t be enough to get too fussed about.

We are conditioned not to see ourselves as victims because women's victimhood is treated as what actually matters, not because men aren't allowed to be weak. Eh … As usual, the feminists have taken a truth and bent it into a lie. But there is truth there. You are right that women’s victimhood is treated as what actually matters. But many men - particularly men who’ve been victimized - do have an aversion to being seen as weak. Weak-seeming people, after all, are more likely to be targeted. They …

So your suggestion is that the historical under-reporting of male sexual assaults, and specifically the fact that this under-reporting pre-dates the rise of feminism, is evidence of the existence of a patriarchy. Your reasoning - which I disagree with - is that it must have been men suppressing reports of male victimization in order for men, as a monolith, to not appear weak. Do you understand that sexual assault of women was also under-reported prior to the rise of feminism? And by "under-repor…

fun fact, about half of all hetero IPV cases feature bilateral violence. That’s why they keep the goal posts on wheels! When you point out to them how much ipv is bilateral, they will immediately shift in one of two ways: “The male is the aggressor; the woman’s violence was self-defense” and/or “The male’s violence is more likely to injure; the woman’s violence is not actually a threat.” Neither of which stand up to scrutiny either, of course, but that’s not the point.

Women don't have the right to a financial abortion. That’s the lie, right there. Once that baby is born, the woman absolutely does have the right to abandon responsibility for him/her. She can put the baby first adoption at birth or take advantage of safe haven laws. If she identifies the father, he has no such rights. In the event that he does want to raise that child, by the way, his very few rights to prevent that baby being given away are easily circumvented. There is a significant asymmetry…

IMO “patriarchy” has no place in serious discourse. We can leave it for the feminists. That’s why independence matters. In the long run, it helps men live better lives That thought is complete at that point. So, is MGTOW the answer to patriarchy? At the very least, it asks men to step outside those definitions and find value in themselves — not in the roles society assigns to them. It’s a great goal but I don’t think MGTOW is the way to get there. MGTOW communities are some of the most woman-obs…

It is. That said, I looked to MGTOW for community at one point in my life. What I found were a group of men who seemed to me to be totally fixated on women, just with bitterness rather than with lust. I had wanted to go my own way; I did not want to go that way with my eyes fixed firmly backward, resenting what I’d left behind.

Mental health services in general have seemed to now care about men and boys probably because of the 2024 election. The view is that the 2024 election was terrible for women. If they only “care about men” in reaction to something which was bad for women … is it really men they care about?

To be a "dictionary definition feminist" one only need to support equality of rights for women. The problem is that while the dictionary is static, language itself is a living and changing thing.

21 percent of all mothers were single mothers in 2023 Thank you! That’s the number that gets at the point. Don’t get me wrong - knowing how many kids are born “out of wedlock” is a useful measure. It’s good to know how close we are to being rid of this idea that a relationship needs the blessing of the state. I know I’m not the only one who does not want the government in my bedroom. But when we talk about the state of children, how many are with single parents is the informative measure.

“Out of wedlock” specifically means parents aren’t Married, though, right? As in, didn’t say the magic words to a priest or a judge. That measure is misleading. There are a lot of dads like me out there: present and very involved with their children and doing a good job by them (trying to, anyway) but whose kids are “born out of wedlock” because mum and dad didn’t feel the need to ask “May I?” to the government before starting a family.
