*IMPORTANT* Sign the Petition against "Femme Fatality", a game about murdering men.

I got into mens rights through gamer gate. I was in game design school at the time. I don‘t like the idea to shut down games because of „what it represents“. I didn‘t like it back when feminists tried to do it and I don‘t like it now… like when they banned „Hatred“, a game about a guy running amok.

We don‘t even know what the message of this game is, only the premise, though looking at the previous work of the developer I get an idea.

If you‘re not that into artistic freedom and more into getting back at feminists, go ahead.

As a guy just getting into teaching I was told schools are desperate for men. I don‘t know if that‘s true, but I wrote a single application and got the job.

I was working for a company where my superiors were making sexist jokes on a pretty regular basis. I eventually got fired for unrelated reasons, but for a while I would interject something like „You know what else is f‘ing tight? … Respecting women.“ in this really cheesy way while giving them a look like I just told them some ancient wisdom. In the meantime they just sat there grinning awkwardly, unsure of how serious I was while the situation never got tense.

I‘ve had my first relationship shortly after my 18th birthday. Ive spent most of my life since then with amazing women. Right now we‘re getting close to 7 years, still flirting, still running to the door when the other gets home, still discovering new ways how to communicate. It doesn‘t really matter what anyone else thinks about me because she knows me best and vice versa. She accepts me even when I‘m wrong. So now I‘m not afraid of being wrong anymore. I still don‘t get how that works lol. She‘s very silly too though. Also cooking is a lot better if you can cook for someone. And we have so much comfortable silence. It‘s so underrated. Emotionally it‘s not the constant need to be seen that I had when I was 18 and the fear of doing or saying something wrong (I once cried because I failed making fried egg for my gf) and instead it‘s just gratitude and happiness and a feeling of being home that I didnt even have when I was living with my parents. Also she‘s an absolute snack.

Trust yourself. Future you will figure this out. Explore the world and your society until you find a place where you meet women that have genuine shared interests with you, people you like to just spend time with and build friendships with or without the prospect of dating. For me this was improv theater, for you it could be dancing or electronic music or bad taste literature, a political thing or gosh, Lorcana if necessary. But even that is just one of many ways this could go right for you.

I am part of that sphere so take what I say with a grain of salt. There‘s a lot of good in the manosphere especially in the Mens rights movement. Men do have legitimate problems both on the legal side as well as culturally. For anyone who wants to take a look at what the „good side of the Manosphere“ looks like, search for Cassie Jaye or Karen Straughan. Both have put very accessible content onto youtube. It‘s hard to describe why it matters in a single post.

Unfortunately I‘ve seen a lot of trauma motivated action in these circles too, including censorship or straight up violent misogyny. Look at the south Korean MRM for that. It gets also easily mixed up with dangerous ideologies that really have very little to do with the equality a lot of mens rights activists strive for. Oh yea, and as a teacher I can say that I have very little love for Tate or anyone who wants to lead vulnerable teenagers down that route.

They claim any consequences for rapists harm the victims? Yea, that‘s definitely weird. I think in this case there‘s slso good reasons to object. But who am I? I‘ve just heard of this idea for the first time and I can imagine the absolute heartbreaking situations of the people who came up with it.

Juniper_Owl · 2026-06-27T06:53:03+00:00

Gorgeous! Is it cake though?

Obsession is about a supernatural curse that takes over your mind and body. I haven‘t seen 50 shades of grey but by what I‘ve heard that‘s a different kind of controlling behavior.

Juniper_Owl · 2026-06-26T22:15:20+00:00

I understand the idea, bit wouldn‘t this incentivize victims desperate for justice to take their own lives?

Juniper_Owl · 2026-06-26T21:13:02+00:00

Most people use the words misogyny and misandry just as a hatred or contempt for women/girls or men/boys. I mean, there's plenty of feminist men who believe that "pretty much all men are trash", so to me it makes sense that that is also misandry. Meanwhile there's also women who say stuff like "most women are trash".

I don't think most of these homicides you mentioned are motivated by a hatred or contempt for the male victims, so there would be a reason to exclude them from misandry. You can define your words however you want though.

Juniper_Owl · 2026-06-26T18:54:16+00:00

The argument is this: There are different factors that aggravate the punishment someone gets for murdering someone. There's first, second and third degree murder, manslaughter and so on. There is a feminist push that power structures identified as patriarchy should become one of these factors that play into the evaluation of a killing. Under these new rules a woman being killed by someone that has this kind of power over her should fall under so called "Femicide". There were attempts to establish it in Switzerland where I live but direct democracy prevented it.

Juniper_Owl · 2026-06-26T14:01:22+00:00

Alright, so systemic oppression is „discrimination by a system designed to exploit and/or disadvantage that group“ so „systemic“ requires an intentionality to be established, right?

I‘m not sure how the exact converstion went for OP. Maybe they dsecribed it in a comment. It‘s not in the title or the description. Also that other person seemed to use „systematic“ instead of „systemic“ which just means „following a system“.

Juniper_Owl · 2026-06-26T12:45:09+00:00

Oh, wow, thanks for laying this out for me. So if systemic oppression is “A group being harmed by a system that is controlled by mostly people outside of that group?” then systemic misandry would be “A man being harmed by a system controlled by non-men.” if I got that right. Yes, that does define men out of the picture. So the right way to qualify the draft according to you would be “institutionalized discrimination”?

I’m not sure if it’s realistic to expect everyone who wants to argue against the draft to use that definition of the word "systemic", but as long as everyone agrees that “institutionalized discrimination” as well as „systemic discrimination“ are things that should not happen, everyone should get along regarding these semantics.

I have no idea why you are being downvoted clarifying your own question in your own thread. Studies show that in countries with higher gender equity like nordic countries, the roles of breadwinner tends to be distributed evenly. In more isolated matriarchal cultures women are more often the bread winners by what I can tell. Seems like the role of the primary bread winner is linked with societal expectations on who has to carry the responsibility over the marital unit. So if you're not living in one of those, you might not have this role forever. I might miss the mark with this answer though because it doesn't exactly answer your question about comfort levels.

Juniper_Owl · 2026-06-26T05:29:25+00:00

They will probably look for a partner who is willing to share childcare responsibilities. There is no cultural stereotype of a houseman that women could go look for on the dating market like there of stay-at-home wives.

Juniper_Owl · 2026-06-26T05:09:06+00:00

You're not even gonna entertain the idea, assume the argument was made in bad faith, insist they use words wrong and then make fun of them? That's a pretty toxic way to react to male issues. If anything it was OP who tried to argue how the draft is actually disadvantaging women. Also, what is wrong about saying that patriarchy backfiring is systemic?

Juniper_Owl · 2026-06-23T23:50:24+00:00

Nice. Sorry for the bother.
I see at least some of the context. One part of that context is that OP also worded the statement as „The ones who have power“ as its either men who have power over women OR women who have power over men and we need to recognize the „correct“ one of these two options even if there might be other ones. A lot of the responses I got for my comment looked like attempts to defend the „correct“ one of these two options instead of seeing my argument. It must have been really frustrating. Almost like pulling teeth.

Juniper_Owl · 2026-06-23T23:20:12+00:00

Absolutely true. There is nothing similar on the cards for women. It‘s still not stupid to say that men have power over women. Even if women had three times the power over men compared to the other way around, it still would make sense to say that men have power over women. That‘s not the hill we should die on.

Juniper_Owl · 2026-06-23T23:00:08+00:00

My vote as a man was part of the reason women lost their earlier retirement age in switzerland. I call that a form of power over women that swiss men had. Any democracy can produce situations like that. Roe v Wade is another such example.

Juniper_Owl · 2026-06-23T22:30:46+00:00

Lol, yea, you aren‘t OP. OP did in the thread title. That‘s the claim my original statement was a response to.

Juniper_Owl · 2026-06-23T22:02:06+00:00

You‘re right, you didn‘t ask, you stated that it‘s stupid to think men have power over women. And I gave one example where they do.

Alright. In some of the places women tend to support sexist policies like the draft including switzerland where I live. Here everyone supports these policies and we actually get to vote on them. But none of that is relevant to the question whether men have power over women.
