    roughly 40% of boys aged 13 to 17 agreed that women lie about domestic and sexual violence.

    If I answer yes, does that mean I think all women lie about it? But if I answer no, does that mean I don’t think any woman has ever lied about it? I don’t know what to think about the report.

    Can’t seem to find a link to the actual survey questions. Did I miss it, or did they just not post it in the article?

    The Democrats are incapable of dealing with their misandry problem. That probably pisses off the hive mind here, but if you can’t hear me out then you’re part of the problem.

    Undoubtedly, a generation of men have been poisoned by Trumpism. It isn’t just red pill manosphere rapist podcasters.

    Those men deserve only loneliness and pain.

    Nevertheless: the Democrats are incapable of dealing with their misandry problem. The problem where you can’t talk about the misandry of some women.

    Perhaps most alarming: roughly 40% of boys aged 13 to 17 agreed that women lie about domestic and sexual violence.

    If you don’t understand that some women will lie about domestic and sexual violence, you’re a bit of a fucking idiot. This coverage omits the survey question; perhaps it was “do all women lie about domestic and sexual violence?” and the 40% number is shocking misogyny.

    But “Do women ever lie about domestic and sexual violence?” is a straightforward “yes” unless you are hellbent on preventing men from taking protection from the worst women have to offer.

    Insulting

    Feminism is insulting to men. It should be insulting to men. Feminism should drag men kicking and screaming into interrogating their own gender.

    But the kind of “insulting” I’m referring to when I say “The Democrats have a misandry problem” is the sort of overbearing Universalizing Feminism that’s incoherent, stupid, and weak.

    Feminism is not for Men.

    Feminism cannot be for men. Don’t try and pretend it will be. Ever.

    Men of the next generation are already tuned out because too many “feminists” think that their ideology is perfect and if men just do and think exactly what “feminists” want them to do and think

    Feminism is not a paint-by-numbers guidebook for helping men. Why would it be? Why would a movement whose foundational assumption is the importance of aiding women at a societal and interpersonal level ever be a tool for aiding men?

    It’s just fucking stupid.

    Male allyship? Good masculinity and applied feminism. Male feminism? Just some dude trying to fit in, actually possibly a predator. Fuck TERFs; women have more to fear from a man trying to co-opt feminine spaces by pretending to be a feminist than they do from MtF trans women.

    If feminism is so good at solving Men, why are Men rejecting it?

    Not all of the backlash to feminism is because men are weak immoral creatures whose authoritarian tendencies have been exploited by a nazi-style fascism.

    Some of it is because feminism is bad at helping men, bad at recognizing that feminism is bad at helping men, bad at interrogating itself when it comes to the ludicrous notion that a body of thought geared towards helping women could or should also magically help men.

    The only thing that can help men is suffering through the results of their bad manners, and punishing rapists. Men don’t work the way women do, and no matter how much feminists want feminism to help men, that’s really not what it’s for.
