Today I heard someone say that there is an "insecurity epidemic among young men" and I am just so fucking happy someone has FINALLY given me the words to describe what is happening to the world. I keep hearing whinging about "men's mental health crisis" and "male loneliness" and "male suicide rates" blahblah in spite of the fact that none of that stuff is actually an issue. Women's depression and rates of suicide attempts have remained consistently higher than men's over the years, and if we look at sex stats you'll see that the rise of loneliness is actually affecting women at very similar rates to men (12% and 14% celibacy rates in the US, respectively). Not to mention the suicide attempts of young women and girls have sky-rocketed in the last couple of years. Suicidal ideation in girls in my country is currently double that of boys. In spite of all this we still see males lashing out en masse, claiming that "men are under attack", "women are privileged", and feminism is "ruining men's lives". Even though none of their claims have any basis in reality there is still an obvious problem here- something is very disturbed in the modern male psyche; but I have not seen anyone accurately label the issue until today. There is an insecurity epidemic among men. Women are finally attending classes, entering the workplace, and gaining voting rights in most countries around the world. These changes are a recent development and they are making modern men question their place in society- as they should. Sadly, instead of taking this time to self reflect, men are desperately trying to stop women's suffrage and cry "abuse" whenever we hold firm. What we are seeing is a big, glorified tantrum, not a "mental health crisis". I am not sure how we would go about fixing this problem but I'm glad that I am finally able to name it!! I thank D'Angelo Wallace for the help.

“We have asked students in our classes to describe characteristics of people whom they’ve heard called “man-haters” and “woman-haters”. A man hater is a woman who speaks her own mind, a feminist, or a lesbian: in other words, a woman who has her own voice and doesn’t put men first is a man-hater. By contrast, students are unable to recall any situations in which they have heard someone being called a woman-hater. We ask, “Are rapists and wife batterers woman-haters?” They answer, “Just because a man rapes or batters women doesn’t mean he hates women.” The differential definitions ascribed to terms that should have equivalent meanings suggest an enormous collective need both to deny male hatred of women and to derogate independent female action (which might be used to expose expressions of that male hatred).”

thread under a tweet about the Club Q shooter coming out as nonbinary after the shooting
sums up queer self-id politics very well, its hypocrisy, and the untouchable status it has given predatory men to continue assaulting women and children

I watched Glass Onion last night, and I thought Dave Bautista's character was an amalgam of Joe Rogan and Alex Jones (certainly the imaginary versions of themselves they picture in their own heads), but most opinions I could find online say he's closer to Andrew Tate. I had never heard of Tate until last night, but less than 24 hours later, he gets arrested by Romanian authorities. What are the odds?

Bullshit MRA rhetoric that has been uncritically accepted by mainstream feminism:
“Men are less likely to be believed when they are abused and are less likely to speak up”
“Men are disadvantaged in family courts”
“Men’s violence is caused by repression of emotions”

It's nice whenever men open up about issues they may or may not have locked up inside for a long, long time. The world should head in that direction, worldwide.
I resist the urge to groan when they say they're better than preexisting MRAs. "That aren't trying to silence innocent women!" because female MRAs don't exist... ... ...
Thoughts?
I'm not in the business of taking credit, but one of the things I strongly advocate for, and that I try to spread day after day, is caring about men for men's own sake, because that alone is a good enough reason to care.
When the subject of "I'm doing [thing MRAs have been talking about for years], but I'm not like those icky MRAs" comes up, I think of things like The Good Men Project, a transparently intersectional-feminist attempt to capture this discussion. Take this Ask An Ally column, an example I just pulled out randomly from searching their website for 2 minutes.
Tumblr media
There's a lot of therapy-talk in here that frankly I wouldn't use for this discussion if given the choice, but in broad strokes, I agree with what's being said here! This is all good stuff to talk about!
And then it pulls the rug out from under you.
Tumblr media
It's not that any of this is wrong, per se, but it betrays the fact that the person responding to the question doesn't actually care about men for men's sake, but for women's sake. And sure, wanting to reduce domestic violence done to women is a noble goal, but we need at least some people to care about men for men's sake, you know? Otherwise we're reinforcing yet another harmful stereotype of the True Male, which is that a man's greatest and perhaps only worth is protecting women from harm. This never occurs to people like The Good Men Project because they only care about men insofar as they care about the wellbeing of the women around men.
So when people go out of their way to say "I'm not like those icky MRAs", I think about how stagnant and unmoving the conversation around men's issues would be. I think about how many people over the past few years have, one way or another, broken out of that Good Men Project mindset and started appreciating men as men, not as some kind of accessory to people who really matter.
And sometimes I feel like I might have made a difference after all, even if that difference goes unnoticed and disavowed.

Open letter to all terfs:
You’re revolting. You look at a group of people trying their best to survive, to break an oppressive view of the world, and you try your best to ruin them. Need I explain why painting a group of people as monsters, why encouraging others to oppress a minority, why raping (and yes, trans people have been and are raped by terfs) and killing a group of people is wrong?
You claim to be for Justice, yet at every turn you side with fascists who impose the very rules you claim to want to break! Hell, you enforce those rules yourselves, claiming that they’re entrenched in sex! You claim that women are inherently weaker, gentler! That no woman has broad shoulders or facial hair, that no woman has excess testosterone, that no woman looks like a man!
Don’t you see how repulsive you are to people not embroiled in hate? Don’t you want to do something to make the world better, not worse? Use your passion for good! If you can’t understand trans people, if you don’t care too, fine! Focus your passion towards something else, but don’t focus it on a small population of people who just want to live happily in their own skin.
Prove to me you’re not just bigots. Prove me wrong, and put away your hate. Prove me wrong, and improve yourselves. Or, don’t. And let your hate consume you. But just understand, trans people are never going away. You can’t stop them from existing. But you can make your existence better.
"Prove me wrong" sweetie all the information you have about "terfs" is ridiculous fearmongering from your cult. It's impossible to prove anything to you because you're too indoctrinated to believe it. I mean just look at your own ask! Radical feminists do not say no woman has broad shoulders, that's the literal opposite of what we believe. Biological women have body hair and will be women no matter how we look, that's a intricate belief of radical feminism. We claim to be for justice? We are fascists? Radical feminists are for FEMALE LIBERATION. Neither the justice system nor the fascists want rights for women. If we wanted justice we would want to start a matriarchy and opress men for millenia. We don't want that, we want liberation from that. Women are physically weaker than men? If you don't believe this, go outside and ask to wrestle with a person of the opposite sex and you'll quickly find out it's true; YOU put value in that. Biological reality is real and only a uneducated science denier would claim women and men are physically the same. We bring humans into this world for shits sake! Women should be worshipped for their human making capacities, empathy and humanity that males lack. Being physically stronger yet having no empathy and being measurably less intelligent and built to die sooner and having less stamina is not some "proof of superiority". If it was we would be ruled by gorillas!
What trans women are opressed? Is it the ones stealing nike money ment for sports women and giving it to misogynistic men pretending to be little children? Or is it the ones that have raped women and are now allowed to be housed in womens prison to keep raping since you wanna talk about rape? (No radical feminist has ever raped a trans woman btw, this is just delusional.) Oh, maybe it's the ones that show up to womens marches and talks to beat up old ladies, maybe those are the opressed ones? Maybe it's the trans people who make sure that real women get fired from their jobs by calling males men? Maybe it's the trans people who have lobbied so hard that women are now called "uterus havers" and other misogynistic crap - yet men are still allowed to be called men? All the things the trans rights movement does makes it obvious it's literally just a offshoot from the mens rights movement.
Trans men ARE opressed though, by whom? By males. Trans women included. Ever wonder why your movement never talks about trans men or try to help them? Thats why! That's regular misogyny. If you wanna count rapes I'd bet you a million that more trans men have been raped by trans women than trans women have been raped. Yet all your movement cares about is the males. Standing behind the rapists and assaulting males and empowering them.
Straight white men, as you people always wanna say, stacking the opressor points, are not a minority. And most trans women are just that. Straight white men. They are not opressed even if they like dressing in womens clothing (something serial killers love doing as well btw), get a hardon from pretending to be little girls or from destroying womens rights and invading our safe spaces - which they do, it's everywhere online. Men jerking off in womens bathrooms, men jerking off in childrens underwear for the "gender euphoria", men popping a boner even existing in public in womens clothing, it's impossible to miss just visit trans reddit for like 5 minutes.
I doubt you're even going to read this at all but that's the beauty of a angry and uneducated ask, I get to have the last word. Peace ✌️

Moen adopted the styling of Wolfenstein 3D, but traded out the Nazi enemies for depictions of women. In place of a swastika, the women wear arm bands that display an “XX” logo which bears a striking resemblance to the symbol used by the women’s rights organization Women’s Declaration International (WDI).
Tumblr media
“The representation of women’s sex-chromosomes as resembling Nazi ideology shows how far gone these men often are,” Ellingsen said. “Accusations that women who care about women’s rights are ‘feminazis’ is nothing new, though,” she added.
During a podcast interview with Trans Norge in March, Moen credited pornography with his decision to begin identifying as a woman full-time.
Moen, who has not had “sex-reassignment surgery,” received media attention in 2017 after it came to light that he had exposed his penis to women in the SiS Sports Center on campus.

The next time a man complains that women get to treat men like pieces of meat and suffer no consequences, demand to see his Internet history. He’ll probably pipe up real quick.

RE: the men's suicide thing. I think the other part of this is that while men are expected to handle things on their own, we're also not taught the skills to effectively do that. A lot of the common coping mechanisms you see in women and girls (e.g., art, music, drama) are often seen as too feminine for a boy or a man, especially in rural or more conservative areas. So you end up with a lot of guys who can't talk about it and don't have any other outlet for it who will go ahead with suicide
Men absolutely use their hobbies and interests to work though emotions and other issues. Men aren't taught that no, but we all learn it. The problem is, especially in the last decade, it doesn't matter what that hobby is, men are shamed for having one. It's not other men for the most part either. Women are literally calling men spending time and money on any hobby as a red flag.
it doesn't matter if the coping mechanism is typically viewed as a feminine interest. It's all being shamed. Playing video games is a red flag. Having a therapist is a red flag. Going out with friends is a red flag. Tending the lawn is a red flag. Anything that takes a mans attention away from his partner, or earning money, is a red flag.
