However, I'm at a loss about how to fight against this anti-male movement which is spreading across the west, under the guise of being connected/approved by 'psychology'. These phrases are not staying online. Feminists are not staying on their hate filled blogs. These feminists messages or they themselves have managed to move into many positions of authority. These messages are making their way into our educational system. Into the legal system. And affecting the way that people consider men when they hear of any negative behavior. It's no longer the case that people dismiss crime as being something an individual does, but rather than it's an indication of how badly male culture (and male psychology) has developed.

I do get what your saying, however the part in bold would be difficult to ascertain. Even though this stuff is getting trotted out a lot more, I am not quite sure things have gotten that bad. All cards on the table here, I have absolutely no problem with feminists calling out male violence, harassment, controlling behaviour. In fact, I would agree with it. The point where I hop off the bus is labelling it under the collective term as if they were specifically male only traits. Yes, a lot more men engage in it than women, no questions there. But as those behaviours exist outside of heterosexual relationships, it suggests that there is a bit more at play here.

In most cases where there is a campaign to promote equality, the message will be directed solely at womens issues, and the male gender will be put up as the responsible party. So, how do we deal with this?

The thing is that a lot of those equality campaigns are usually fronted by women's groups, so I have no real issue that they are pushing for the interests of the gender they represent. I think it is a good thing that there are women only advocacy groups. You ask the question how do we deal with this? My answer would be in the same way there are groups advocating for women, then I think men need to start their own groups to advocate for various mens issues. I think some notable mens movements have actually been started by women, so there is a history of men not really engaging that much with advocacy groups. In a sense, harsh and all as this will sound, but men have been their own worst enemy there. If there is an issue they feel strongly about then they need to do what women's groups did and form proper advocacy movements. It is hard work, and progress is slow, but if the will is there and it resonates with enough men (and women) then it should take off.

Just to note, when I say mens groups, I mean pushing for actual rights (fathers rights etc) and not the MRA/Red Pill/MGTOW crap.

Your post I quoted referenced harassment, not sexual harassment.

I'm only referencing sexual harrassment. I don't believe either gender is more responsible for nonsexual harrassment.

Why do people keep asking that question? It's been answered so many times already.

Why does the title of this thread keep changing, the person who posted this is a total attention seeker, yes we know you hate louise but it is beyond reason at this stage.

Kermit.de.frog

There is no reason to this thread just like there is no reason to Louise O'Neill.

I think Louise and cloudatlas would have a great coffee date.

Has someone changed the thread title specifically to mock a poster, or am I missing something?

Is there any reason to believe the sexual harrassment of women has changed significantly in the last 7 years?

Sweetemotion

I was going to say the boards user LLMMLL but you can't enjoy coffee with someone if you are on your own.

So it has to be Grayson, apparently he is also labelled as a crazy feminist. So at least they will have something in common.

I dunno, but I have this 1983 paper from Uzbekistan to support a claim...

The thread title should be changed to "Does Louise O'Neill know about givyjoe's fake profiles?" or maybe "Will Dakota Brave Carrot and DavidLyons like every single post in the thread, or just 90% of them?"

Or how long will the "sigsig" alias last before dissapearing.

Ah sure by 2028 Islam be well on its way to being the most dominant religion in Europe. And we have all seen how so called 3rd wave is desperate keen to hitch to any bandwagon, even if it means it turns into a puddle of puke when it hits the Arab springs.

And just like all the so called " feminists" who head out to the middle east. You'll cover up and shut up. While the REAL women out there fighting actual issues be rotting in some hell hole jail for refusing to wear hers. But hey don't let that stop you taking bin men's jobs aigh.

Ah come on, surely a 2 year old would know that he was taking the p#ss.

A look back through his posts says that he is a man.

Ye seem to believe that anyone who challenges the entrenched sexism ye hold so dear is winding ye up, so outlandish do ye find the challenge.

Time's up for that attitude, the third wave is breaking and a lot of the world's injustices will be washed away by 2028.

Well done male poster, I suppose you wound a few people up. All of his history posts say that he is male. No woman says 'third wave'.

Just getting back to the whole 'Friends' thing. I am currently rewatching it again as I know there are a couple scenes I wanna bookmark for our feminist and millennial...eh friends.

Re the lack of black people. The first couple episodes feature a black nurse working on Ross's ex wifes baby to be. Also black extras when Ross gets hit by a puck at a hockey game. Also black extra in Central Perk.

Season 1 Episode 6 is all about a woman that Chandler meets but he finds out she has a husband and THREE other boyfriends. He is being used for sex. She doesn't care and doesn't see why he should. Recent articles about Joey being a rapist and treating women like crap for fairly similar.

I will be back on this...

Yeah, they do. Sorry about that female poster. 10 seconds is all you need of this video. You do not speak for womankind.

Ah c'mon, she's hardly up for the sidebar of shame on the Daily Mail site, or any number of painted and varnished Instagram attention seekers where women(and a few men) have been keeping Adobe afloat for a decade with their "beach ready curves" - whatever the fuck that means - and all that shite. Looks like the standard fare of "look thoughtful, serious and strong" Sunday supplement shtick. She likely broke into a fit of giggles afterwards. Hell, I'd hardly be an apologist for her, never mind a supporter of her well daft views - in my humble and all that - but she's not a cardboard cutout either.
