Men, are you fed up of all the disrespect, blaming and hatred of men?

Scroll to see replies

Good i do not need to put up with a woman disrespecting me in my house. Although i don't get disrespected by females but that could be because of who i am idk.

Posted from TSR Mobile
I only respect people who can respect me regardless of their gender. If a man treats me well, he'll be treated like a king and if he cannot respect me, tough luck. End of. I won't even bother with him. However, I'll always appreciate good men.
I don't associate with feminists. I prefer my women to have brains and the ability to think for themselves.
Feminists are billigerent bigots who make false narratives and accusations to further their agenda.

BECAUSE THERE ARE SO MANY CASES OF WOMEN BEING ATTACKED WHILE WALKING ALONE (AND FEW CASES FOR MEN) I WAS TRYING TO USE A RHETORICAL QUESTION TO MAKE ANYONE WHO READ IT THINK ABOUT THEIR FRIENDS AND THE WAY THEY FEEL WHEN THEY KNOW ONE OF THEM IS OUT ALONE.


You do realize statistically speaking a man is much more likely to be violently attacked?

please get in touch with me if your disagree with any of my responses


the statistics I am quoting refer specifically to instances where men and women are holding that same roles not an average over every kind of professionwhile it may be true that women take more time off work than men, this is mainly due to childbirth and actually paternity leave for men is rightly becoming more common, but thats beside the point because this doesn't effect how much someone is paid, that time off is included in their contractCan you please give specific examples of roles where men are paid more than women for the same role and for the same working hours? Not including professions where salary is negotiated, a study from Sweden concluded that men are more likely to ask for a raise than women are. http://www.ne.su.se/polopoly_fs/1.99257.1346412310!/menu/standard/file/anna_sandberg.pdfokay

so the reason that male rape victims are not taken seriously is because women are seen as so physically weak that society believes that they are too weak to over power a man, so if we address this underlying issue it become much easier to support male rape victims, which I agree is a huge problemThat sounds like you've put a spin on a male-centric problem to make it a problem for women. All roads do not lead to Rome and the bottom-line here is that men are coming off worse in this situation as rape is a tangible problem while society's thoughts and feelings is not.

that comparison make no sense, prison is not a place where people are represented, in the media someone is choosing whether to write a character as male or female (the same for white or POC, straight or queer, cis or trans/agender etc) the general public has almost no say over the gender of the characters, whereas prisons have men in them because those men have committed crimes, that's the only reason they're there. I don't understand how prisons would be relevant?You picked a random situation where you say that women are under-represented and so I did the same for men.

no no see thats just wrong, its not 'self proclaiming' when people actively start conversations just to disrespect a girl who is interested in gamesand also there are so many guys who do boast about the time they spend at the gym, and all the protein that they take, and they are not ripped apart for it, they are congratulated for being so 'manly'What do you want me to say? Some guys are idiots and there are more male gamers than women, the prejudice could just as easily come from the other side but doesn't as much due to men making up the mainstream of gamers.

actually I'm pretty sure that it's just that women have, up until recently been more weary of showing their passion about gaming. And female gamers are not asking for every single game produced to have a female protagonist and have a predominantly female cast, we're asking for a little more recognition and to be taken more seriously, and for companies like Ubisoft not to say "Sorry animating women would take too long, so we won't" We're asking for the small changes
Most game designers and producers are men and when you want to be creative about a character it is easier to insert a mindset you are more familiar with. If women want to see more women in games then they should make some. There's plenty of demand for more good games these days and a ton of money to be made, I'm sure women like money right?

I know he killed four men and two women, but the genders of the people are not important, in his video he says that he is jealous of the men with girlfriends, however his hate is concentrated of the women. He blames to women for not dating him and not seeing that he is 'superior'. When he talks about who he is planning to kill, he says 'every blonde slut' and it is clear that he is referring only to women, the women that he feels entitled to, because he is a 'nice guy' despite the fact that he made advances on girls who were already in relationships
His mindset came from hatred and self-entitlement while hating and wanting to kill those who accost him. The manosphere generally supports hard-work, self-introspection and improvement. I would say he has way more in common with third-wave feminists in regards to his personality.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eh6OM3Mii1Qno they aren't.
We can only agree to disagree on this.

It is predominately a religious issue, I agree, but I feel that it is made a feminist issue my the way that governments handle it
That's because Western governments are desperate to pander to religions, and simultaneously feminists. Which is an extremely messy issue.

what. I just, what? Women should be allowed to sleep with whoever they want, and as many people they want, and so should guys, no one should be shamed for wanting to have sex. If its so easy for girls to have sex, surely its easy for guys to have sex too? Unless you're talking exclusively about lesbians (and bisexuals and pansexuals) which I wasn't
I agree, however the slut-shaming comes predominantly from other women and is done to control the availability of sex which therefore increases the power of women. Women also vehemently opposed birth-control when it was introduced and also pornography (and often still do) for that same reason. Despite claiming to support a woman's free choice of profession. On the other side of the issue, it's easy for women to have sex with many men with little requirements from their side (even with relatively high status men), men however are expected to have social adeptness, financial security and other qualities in order to successfully procure sex from multiple women.

Okay, sorry about that, basically in some high school proms the girls (and only girls) have been asked to leave the prom, solely because the fathers of other people attending the prom couldn't keep their eyes (and in some cases hands) off them. To me this is a sexism issue because its not happening to the male students, despite them being dressed to a similar level.
Is this usually around the bible-belt areas? Schools do tend to pander too heavily to parents in some cases. The reason girls are asked and not men is that a man's sexuality holds no value while a woman's does, therefore it is seen by their fathers as something to be preserved. This inequality is just a bi-product of the differences between men and women.

Literally every girl I know complains about how useless female clothing is; shoes that fall apart after a weeks use, trouser pockets that literally nothing fits into, blazers that have no pockets. But we can't buy functional clothing if no one is producing it, which is why a lot of girls I know end up buying male clothing (like trousers, shoes etc) because genuinely its SO much better.
You have to vote for change with your money. If you keep buying stuff that breaks then it'll keep getting made. Conversely why is every clothes shop hoarding 4/5 floors of women's clothes and men have to share half of one floor with the kid's section? Same reason, supply and demand.

Okay I don't mean like exercise regimes because I appreciate that male stars are asked about exercise and muscle building, but the thing is that female stars tend to be asked questions about 'dieting' that borderline pro-anorexia. And along with that there's the questions like Scarlet Johansson being asked if she was wearing underwear in an interview, that's the kind of weirdly personal question that are extremely rarely asked to male stars.
I think that partly goes down to the generally poor education about female health. We still have women going around avoiding gyms citing "I don't want to be bulky" as the reason. That's why they're asked about mainly diets. I personally don't see that they aren't asked about their role and emotions though.

how do you know women wouldn't enjoy male on male porn? I'm certain a lot would. Also I don't mean this exclusively to the porn industry, I mean the way the girl on girl 'action' is often thrown in to movies and sitcoms for the approval of the male characters
Ask every woman you know, from what I've heard and what others have they don't like it at all. I'm sure there are polls on this question.

I'm very sorry about your friend, and I'd like to stress that I'm not trying to say that men are never attacked, abused or raped, what I'm trying to say is that women are more likely to be physically or sexually attacked than men. 60% of domestic abuse victims are female (from a male partner) and this still means that 40% of victims are male (from a female partner) [I can't find any statistics on general abuse]. Also the majority of male rape victims are attacked by another male, not a female. The thing that I was trying to get across here is that it is very much a societal norm for women to prepare for the very real possibility of rape (one is six women are rape survivors) while there is not that same assumption for men
They actually found that lesbian relationships have a higher percentage of domestic about than heterosexual couples. I wouldn't say 60/40 is a huge disparity, enough to tar it as being solely a female issue.If you are saying that the majority of male rape victims are raped by men, and implying that dilutes the issue then you are essentially victim-blaming here. As if the victim has been served some sort of intra-gender justice. Also it is possible for the statistics to get skewed as many countries (including UK) do not even recognise female on male rape as a crime, so it wouldn't be represented or even reported.

BECAUSE THERE ARE SO MANY CASES OF WOMEN BEING ATTACKED WHILE WALKING ALONE (AND FEW CASES FOR MEN) I WAS TRYING TO USE A RHETORICAL QUESTION TO MAKE ANYONE WHO READ IT THINK ABOUT THEIR FRIENDS AND THE WAY THEY FEEL WHEN THEY KNOW ONE OF THEM IS OUT ALONE.
Their feelings are not relevant when you're trying to way up a potential quantity of how many men vs women get attacked. In my opinion men are more likely to get attacked and less likely to report it.

Yes, yes they do. And that's also a huge problem every gendered stereotype about work is a massive problem for society, and these are the issues that feminism is trying to address. The stereotypes that men can't be caring and compassionate and the stereotypes that women can't do science/maths.
I'm not taking any particular side of this either way however how would you respond if you found there was truth to this? That some genders are naturally pre-disposed to being better or worse at specific professions. Is it offensive if it's biology?

Because in most subjects I am on par with them and in some I am doing better, grade wise and with work ethic. In addition countless female students in my classes were told to take 'easy options' such as photography or a BTEC, while my male class mates were overwhelmingly advised to take more science or maths subjects. I admit that this may me due to a particularly advisor, but the thing that really struck me was that no one else seemed to feel that this was an issue, the idea of girls being encouraged away from academic subjects just seemed so normal to them
Could be down to individuals such as this adviser in question. I've been told (by a female teacher) that I'd never amount to anything so don't do anything.I genuinely believe that if you're weak enough to let some bad words stop you from doing what you want to do, then you weren't right for it in the first place.

Someone finally said it! The poll speaks for itself too!
I totally agree about women being blind to the fact that the 0.2% of men who have empowered women deliberately to use them as a natural shield to protect them from being overthrown by the 98.8% of men who they are oppressing with their increasingly obvious abuses of neo-capitalism. Us regular men and the women who trust us need to work together fast to stop these elites in their tracks, letting them turn us against each other is just a distraction and an insult to the great strides towards sexual and racial equality that we have made during many of our lifetimes.

Very true. Good work.
I'm fed up of everyone.
I'm fed up of everyone playing the victim.
This is a very old thread, so they won't be able to hear you.
