So I'm a pretty quite kid most of the time, more or less although I do talk a lot if I'm interested or entertained,which I do with my friends in class sometimes. Well, the teachers get mad at us for that, while letting the girls talk WAY louder than us. And the principal acts like this too. Also they don't get mad at the girls for being late with work but they do with the boys (which I find ironic since the highest in grades in most of our classes are boys). I also I saw an older post about them locking the boys bathrooms but not the girls, which also happens at my school.

A long time ago, I had two experiences which show how some women think men are always to blame under any circumstances. They involve movies and my mother.

1. We watched the movie Varsity Blues. There was a scene where a girl tried to seduce a high school quarterback by appearing in front of him naked except for whipped cream she was wearing as a bikini. He had a girlfriend already, and turned the whipped cream girl down. My mother said he would get in trouble with his gf if she knew about it. I said "What? He turned her down. If anything she sexually harassed him by doing that". Believe it or not, my mom did not budge, as if somehow it was his fault she did that. (Not sure I remember correctly, but I think this came up because he denied it happened when he was talking to his gf. She knew about this other's girls' whipped cream antics, and asked him if she did it to him. If so, this would mean the movie agrees with my mother, that what happened was worth hiding from his gf) So, apparently even if nothing bad happens, the male is still to blame? I mean, give the guy a medal for turning her down is my attitude.
2. In the movie American Beauty Kevin Spacey was lusting after a teenage girl. Yes, not cool for sure. But then he turns her down at the last minute. He then gets killed in the movie. I said that was an inappropriate punishment since he turned the girl down. (The movie implying he had it coming, in my opinion). My mom disagreed. This one is a little more grey than #1, but still, he did not do anything even illegal, much less a death penalty offense.
3. By the way, I think this attitude explains a lot of the false allegations we talk about in this sub. I mean, if you're always assuming males are guilty...

This petition is demanding that Meta, Apple, and Google take immediate action against "Are We Dating The Same Guy?" and similar harmful groups/apps. These platforms have a responsibility to protect users, and together, we can hold them accountable. We need 5,000 signatures.

This is inspired by an article I came across that said a minority group that was being harassed and persecuted on Meta sent a 20,000 signature petition to Meta. It caught Zuckerberg's attention and he actually changed their policy for the better.

I just do not understand. According to an United Nations study, 81% of the victims of homicide globally during 2023 were of the male gender. Yet, despite that fact, there is an increased concern surrounding those so called femicides, which the UN and many countries have a very broad definition on what that actually entails. Take for example the UN definition of femicide:

Femicide comprises the killing of women and girls because of their gender. It can take the form of, inter alia the 1) murder of women as a result of intimate partner violence; 2) torture and misogynist slaying of women 3) killing of women and girls in the name of "honour"; 5) targeted killing of women and girls in the context of armed conflict; 5) dowry-related killings of women; 6) killing of women and girls because of their sexual orientation and gender identity; 7) killing of aboriginal and indigenous women and girls because of their gender; 8) female infanticide and gender-based sex selection foeticide; 9) genital mutilation related deaths; 10) accusations of witchcraft and 11) other gender-based murders connected with gangs, organized crime, drug dealers, human trafficking, and the proliferation of small arms

This includes intimate parner violence, murders connected with gangs and organized crime, killing due to sexual orientation and gender identity... None of these are exclusive or connected to them being a woman. Men suffer from domestic violence as well, they get killed for their sexual orientation or due to gangs and organized crimes in much larger number than women. There is also targeted killings of men during armed conflict, as they are seen as a potential threat.

So why do we need a specific crime for women, when men are being killed in larger numbers? Is killing a woman somehow a worse offense than killing a men? Well, in my country you better believe it is since femicide has a harsher punishment than regular homicide. We also have specific divisions for femicide and the media focuses much more on it on it than the slaughter of men despite the latter being far more prominent. Resources and money are allocated solely to deal with these femicides and prevent them while the majority of murder victims are left to rot, their cases unsolved and no measures taken to prevent them.

If this isnt a social privillege I don't know what it is.

Worked in a setting for10 months. I witnessed my supervisor constantly setting me up failure and not success. Since the start, I verbalized some ideas, and she shot me down right away. While doing the opposite for female coworkers, especially one that was her golden child. It got to the point where I felt demoralized and started to question myself and my own competence, and I did not want to continue in that path. A couple of weeks ago she gave her golden child a project that I have been working for 2 months without consulting me. I updated my CV and started looking for work. I only gave a 3-day notice and found a better paying job with way more benefits. No way I could have stayed there for two more weeks. They are pissed because the next 2 weeks are the holidays. Her golden child texted that she was out yesterday and one of my female coworkers and myself replied that we would take over her duties for yesterday and the supervisor replied thank you ladies, making me feel excluded until the last day.

I’d like to be able to share the stories anonymously to various new sources and create videos with the info to spread awareness about the negative impacts of the group.

When ,how ? What is the historical changes ?

people who aren’t from the west : How did other non western cultures respond?

Why do they adopt to western ideas about man hating ?

Restoring MGTOW?

Back in the day, a movement called MGTOW (Men Going Their Own Way) started getting a lot of attention, and it sparked some pretty heated debates. Basically, MGTOW was about men prioritizing their own lives, goals, and freedom over what society expects from them. Some people said it’s all about self-preservation, while others accuse it of encouraging misogyny and social isolation. So, What was it? Why should it be restored? Let’s break it down!

So, What was MGTOW All About?

MGTOW was kind of a loose online community that started in the early 2000s. At its core, the idea was that men should focus on their own happiness and goals, rather than following old-school gender roles or societal expectations. A lot of guys who were into MGTOW felt like modern society is stacked against them, especially when it comes to things like divorce laws, child custody, and shifting gender dynamics.

Restoring Men’s Pride

One of the main things MGTOW talked about was "restoring men's pride." Basically, the idea was that society has put a lot of unfair pressure on men, making them feel like they’re supposed to do everything—be successful, take care of others, live up to traditional expectations, etc. MGTOW said, “Forget that! It’s time for men to focus on themselves, whether that means getting better at their jobs, working on personal growth, or just being happier without all the pressure.”

Society’s Morals and MGTOW

Now, not everyone was a fan of MGTOW. Critics argued that rejecting relationships and marriage could mess with society's moral compass. They said it could lead to more isolation and make it harder for people to build real connections. Some also falsely claimed that MGTOW promotes an unhealthy attitude towards women, and that’s where the false accusations of misogyny came in.

It’s worth mentioning, though, that most guys in the MGTOW community were just looking for personal growth and independence, while a very small minority had more extreme views. Like any movement, how MGTOW affected society depended a lot on how it's members and prominent propagators approached it and how society intrepreted it.

The Bigger Picture

The whole MGTOW debate was part of a bigger conversation about gender roles, relationships, and the expectations society places on people. Some saw MGTOW as a way to push back against what they saw as unfair treatment, while others thought we need to find a better way to make sure everyone—men and women—can have healthy relationships and a fair shot at happiness.

Conclusion

At the end of the day, MGTOW was one of those movements that gave men the chance to reclaim their pride and focus on their own lives. As there were varying degrees of MGTOW, I can’t say that the most isolationist of MGTOWs response was really a solution. Distilled down, MGTOW was an abdication of meta-frame to women. MGTOW was just men taking womankind off the pedestal and replacing them with your own. 

[Keyword: "Mainstream"] Especially since the 2010s and the advent of streaming services like Netflix, Amazon Prime, and Disney Plus, all of which have women as their primary target demographic. To keep it short In this post, I'm only going to provide few examples from notable TV series aimed at women (and the gays) with a lot of nudity: Elite, Sex Education, Euphoria, Shameless, Sex/Life, The Boys.

This is the comparisons of skin exposure/nudity (Butt, full frontal) between male and female, and the sources I'm using are AZnude and AZmen websites for easy comparison.

Summary: There are far more full and clear male nudity scenes that show long lingering camera shots of the ass, and even full frontal nudity with the penis clearly shown. Plus there are plenty of communal nude shower scenes and humiliating CFNM (Clothed Female Nude Male) scenes. As for women, almost all of their “nude scenes” are just topless scenes and the occasional/rare bare ass scene. Most of the newer TV series such as house of the dragon and Amazon Prime's Fallout also exhibit the same pattern. Moreover unlike penis and balls nudity, you actually almost never see a full-frontal female vagina nudity on screen, because the actresses are most likely wearing a covering called Merkin: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merkin.

There were some outliers/exceptions such as Game of Thrones, but of course the usual suspects just can't leave that alone, and tried their hardest to increase male nudity (We all know that their true intention is to eliminate any female nudity on screen) https://www.mamamia.com.au/nudity-in-game-of-thrones/

You could argue that "Well, these are aimed at women and gays, not for straight cis men!!1!", but then again, I can't find the equivalent mainstream shows for men with the massive amount of nudity. In fact, there are many more new shows with male nudity only or almost no female nudity at all, for examples Minx: https://www.azmen.com/view/movie/m/minx.html, Toy Boy (Netflix): https://www.azmen.com/view/movie/t/toyboy.html, and Queer As Folk: https://www.azmen.com/view/movie/q/queerasfolk-37555.html

Honorable mentions: MCU (M SHE U) regular male shirtless scenes and Thor's nude buttocks scene. DCU Batman's ass showering scene and male nude scenes in Wonder Woman. Korean Dramas (aimed exclusively at women) regular male shower and shirtless/abs scenes, and so on. Male nudity is also very prevalent in fashion Ads, for examples: https://factgammon.wordpress.com/2013/11/20/females-arent-the-only-sex-objects/

Tl;dr

Female-oriented media/shows don't shy away from showing male fanservice at all, so why can't male-oriented shows do the same?

As a husband and father, it is important when discussing topics with our children that even if someone has a different view points to yourself doesn't make it invalid.

My daughter in high school, likes to sometimes talk about politics and controversial issues. We can discuss them. It isn't about what is right or wrong, but it can be able challenging ideas and concepts, understanding where the foundations of their argument is, and respecting the differences.

We are on different areas of the political spectrum, and that is fine with me.

I love my family regardless, even if our view points a different. It is the differences that help us to grow and learn from each other.

I don’t like to chime in on dating issues but there are biases that men need to address

This comes from work group in discussing one of Netflix dating shows. The issue was a specific hetro couple and who was right or wrong. It was a silly discussion and At work lines drawn followed gender bias, men sided with the guy, ladies with the girl. But when a lesbian coworker chimed in, the fun began.

Most of the push back was around the attention she received in the relationship and her domineering personality. All of which the women rationalized. When the lesbian coworker suggested that other women wouldn’t put up with her in a relationship, the rationales were fun to watch until the inevitable, it’s not the same popped up.

So, why isn’t the same? If you can’t ask your lesbian girlfriend to worship you all the time, and command her to do certain things, than why would you expect this from men.

Usually when someone dies or there is a gradual academic failure going on or sharing a story about past abuse I can't get past the "that's horrible bro I am sorry..awkward silence and then sudden topic change" phase

I don't know if women also deal with this problem in their same-sex relationships or are more "emotionally intelligent" (or so i have heard) and can figure a way to cope

I just don't know how to get them to talk or when i do actually manage to do that.. Do i just silently listen? Do i engage with the conversation? Do i take action and offer them Physical help? But what if i do not keep my promises or fail to help them?

Sorry if this might come off as weird

From the Rules of IMDB:

More funny stuff. (PS: I happen to be liberal. But I do call out left craziness). Another quote from the rules:

"Not acceptable:

'the left want to rewrite history in the way they deem it acceptable and true (well, in their eyes). And, I'll be surprised if this review is allowed to be posted. These are the same people that do not want to be criticized or spoken against, and if you do, then you're a racist, sexist, bigot, hater, and all the other buzz words one can think of (references our posting guidelines)'

They're saying that the reason that's not allowed is because it references their guidelines. Yeah sure. I've been trying to get my review accepted 5 times. I can't find what the problem is.

What's funny is, I realized they're not making up these examples. Those are clearly things people would say and do say. And they're posting it, LOL. It shows how right those posters are and how corrupt the woke left is.
