Why are we hating all the men?

The women who voice opinions such as all men being rapists are confined to the realms of the internet. The only time Ive heard such ****e spouted in real life was at poetry slams and feminist rallies

disconnect from facebook, your life will be infinitely better

My dog just farted in his sleep. 😳

Will then, disconnect from whatever social media you keep seeing this nonsense on. It's simple. Avoid or ignore the beast.

That would be fine if it wasn't having real world consequences. If anyone says anything or does anything that can be considered blasphemous by these new cults they do face a very serious fallout. Careers and reputations are left in ruins. Having recovered from religious meddling in education we are now seeing political ideologies impacting higher level education in ways that would have been unthinkable 20 years ago.

When people talk about 'The Illuminati' running the world people laugh or roll their eyes knowingly. When people talk about 'The Patriarchy' running the world people feel afraid to laugh or argue. Ridicule and robust debate are like a social immune system against such paranoid cults and it is worrying that that has not kicked in yet. People now live out their digital lives in echo chambers that only make their beliefs more extreme. I think it is something to worry about.

Except that "rape culture" is actually described as a culture which normalises or trivialises sexual assault/rape. It doesn't assume that all men are rapists but aims to point out everyday actions which occur that were once passed off as playful or expected of men and aims to reclassify them since they can be sexually threatening but due to "rape culture" where actually considered normal.

No no it actually does assume all men are rapists and goes as far as reclassifying incidents after the fact as rape.

There was some fairly strong media articles and crap coming from the rape crisis centre for some time which would imply every man out there was a rapist.

Let's not forget the recent thread where a certain blogger who didn't want an uncomfortable argument so may have let herself been raped.

I don't think it helps when you have people like louise o neill treated as serious journalists when they are really gender trolls. Making a living poking a stick at men. Every newspaper has one these days too.

Indeed most papers have one which is why I find it funny when you have people trying to rewrite what it actually means.

The ongoing attacks on the men of Ireland the forced consent classes and other crap in the media. Quite insulting.

Interesting thread

Perhaps modern femanism is one whic treats men as equals instead of mysogonistic rapists in training

Fair play, Anna, more women do seem to be speaking out against what they see as an increasing misandric attitude towards men in western society today and it's nice to see more people waking up to it (of both genders.) Obviously Western society is extremely feminized (and has been for quite some time) and so much of our attitudes towards men are not seen as being at all inappropriate and the 'sure, what's the problem' kind of replies you're getting thus far is proof positive of that. I'm not doubting people's sincerity here, they just don't see anything wrong with how men are spoken about and portrayed today. They're oblivious to how it's mostly unwarranted and problematic.

When you can have someone go on national TV in Ireland and use the high male suicide rate as a reason for why young men all need to be feminists and get a round of applause for it, well then it's clear that in a society such as that you have your work cut out for you trying to get many within it to see the light, the truth of how warped our view of men has become. Sure, it's worse online, but it's far from something confined to online discourse.. if only. LON was mentioned just there and rightly so as she was given her own TV show on our national broadcaster and pontificated to men at one point and told them that it was us that were raping women and so therefore it was our problem, one that only we could stop... as if good men can just control bad men, get them to stop engaging in evil acts anytime we like. Didn't occur to her I guess that if men had that kind of control over other men we might have used it to get them to stop attacking other men first and given that men are far more likely to be violently attacked by a man than a woman is, you'd think we would have by now.

More and more young men are declaring themselves as male feminists (something Obama says is now expected of all young men) and this without question is just young guy, imv, wanting to feel accepted in a feminized western society. All around them they hear men being refereed to as oppressors, creeps, potential rapists etc etc, and it's the one thing they can do to signal to females that they are not like those men. Denigrate their own gender a little (You're a White Male!) and that's even more brownie points for them.

I really feel for younger generations as this bs is getting worse by the day too and to the notion that this stuff is Internet based and one just needs to get off Facebook, or Twitter or whatever, that's just baloney. Sure look at the recent documentary screening issues which Cassie Jaye's The Red Pill had Internationally. Protests at almost all early screenings. Even the other night in Sydney they tried to get the screening cancelled:

Ah that's hard core type stuff.

The only difference between that type of activist and a sumo wrestler is that the sumo wrestler shaves their legs. What's ironic about all this though is that they are really just doing women a disservice by serving only to enrage and divide.
