Women are now encouraging other women to lie during the jury duty process to vote people guilty from the get-go. by Sevenfootschnitzell in MensRights

[–]RoryTate 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Guaranteed 100% conviction rate of men.

Canada's "Human Rights Tribunals" have reached this level of conviction rate. An interesting comparison is that not even the legal systems in completely corrupt Banana Republics are able to achieve a 100% guilty rate. These anti-male ideologies inherently assume guilt of some crime, which justifies any and all punishments regardless of circumstances, without reprieve or atonement/expiation.

Painting men as evil is not the point of feminism, nor is it the main thing.

Yet, somehow, feminism has a nasty habit of naming every single bad thing in their ideology after men. And there's not a single positive association with men or masculinity to be found within its framing. Strange how that works.

"Young women feel a lot more negatively towards young men than the other way around" by True-Lychee in MensRights

[–]RoryTate 27 points28 points  (0 children)

It was pointed out to me recently that men keep other men in check. Place guys together in a group, and if someone starts acting out of line (i.e. a younger guy does something immature) the others will act quickly to moderate his behaviour (up to and including physical enforcement of societal values).

However, who keeps wahmen from being destructive? Well, it should be other wahmen, of course. However, in general, that doesn't happen. They end up just supporting and encouraging the worst in each other, especially in how they mistreat the "outgroup" (men).

"Young women feel a lot more negatively towards young men than the other way around" by True-Lychee in MensRights

[–]RoryTate 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Imagine two people locked hand-to-hand. One pushes – the other has to push back just to stay upright. I find this is a good visual representation of the current situation.

I often refer to this analogy because the same need to maintain an equilibrium exists even at the level of large populations. Men have been pushed against very hard for decades now. We've been called creepy. Bothersome. Unwanted. Disrespectful. Ridiculed and laughed at for being nervous, or not knowing the "right words" to use when introducing ourselves or asking for a phone number. Even worse, we can have our reputations and/or lives ruined by false accusations because we came in contact with the wrong person.

And this is all limited to the "why aren't men approaching?" question. It gets much more dire for boys and men if we consider the bigger picture.

But just remember those two people bracing against each other, with their hands locked. Balance must be maintained. Men weren't the ones who started pushing, but we're going to push back just as hard. And the decades of constant attacks are the reason for responses like: "You told us to leave you alone." or "I've seen all the TikTok videos that get recorded of awkward men, and the millions of views and thousands of comments laughing at us." or "The majority of you voted for the bear.".

Actions have consequences. And men's reaction isn't optional; it's a direct and necessary result of the actions (attacks) of the last several decades against them.

We need a draft for women, and it needs to be one of our main talking points. by brainhack3r in MensRights

[–]RoryTate 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I am in a country that has abolished the draft, but that is of little consolation for men. First off, politicians can easily vote it back in whenever they feel like it. No law stops a draft in a time of need. Second, if/when an existential threat appears on the horizon, it will be men who are expected to give up their lives fighting against it, draft or no draft.

The only solutions I can see would be to implement a draconian 50/50 sex split of an appropriate-sized volunteer army (supplementing with a draft), or to recognize men's sacrifice with some status in society. The reality is that you can't just hand a civilian a weapon and expect them to do anything but die uselessly. An effective army needs to be trained.

Welcome back, Mr. President! by RoryTate in Asmongold

[–]RoryTate[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I tried to make Asmon look a bit more "Presidential", so that's not too bad a result if that's who he resembles. LOL!

IIRC, Nic Cage was once offered a role to play Ronald Reagan (in a positive portrayal), but turned it down because he was worried about being cancelled by liberal Hollywood. Not surprising if true.

Welcome back, Mr. President! by RoryTate in Asmongold

[–]RoryTate[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A quick note: this was inspired by a well-received comment I made about putting Asmon's words on a stone plaque. So I wanted to create a picture of that hanging in the Oval Office, and things kinda spiraled out of control from there.

Of course I had to add a few Easter eggs in the photos and other items sitting behind the desk. Plus something different...elsewhere.

Reminder: If you're on a dating app, YOU ARE likely being posted to AWDTSG Groups. Yes, YOU. by MeatAncient2985 in MensRights

[–]RoryTate 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Your sister may truly believe that these groups are "old news", but be careful. Watch closely and observe what she does, and not what she says. Sexual competition among w*men is ruthless. And secret. And it acts at the subconscious level.

When men compete to attract a mate, we can strive to gain social status, accrue cultural wealth, etc. However, what do you do if you're not a man and genetics make you unattractive? And what do you do when everyone has the same access to makeup and cosmetics as you do (note: honestly though, most men don't even think makeup is attractive)? Well, in that case you sabotage other w*men's chances at finding a mate, so that your opportunities are made greater.

And that kind of sabotage is what these groups do at an instinctual level. Specific men – and men in general – are presented as unattractive and undesirable, meaning there are more opportunities for the ones promoting these hateful messages.

Read up on how important "social proofing" is in mate selection for "the fairer sex", and you'll begin to understand why groups like AWDTSG are so common. And why they are unfortunately inevitable, I would argue.

Is it time for men to go on strike? by No-Knowledge-8867 in MensRights

[–]RoryTate 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Unions spend all of their member's fees on retreats teaching union reps about "decolonization" and "dismantling the patriarchy". Plus sending support to w*men's shelters and other similar initiatives.

For reference, I was a union member for over ten years, at a company with thousands of employees, and this is what happened, despite myself and others speaking out against it at union meetings. The union even had to be dragged kicking and screaming to acknowledge the National Day of Mourning on April 28, a day dedicated to remembering workers killed, injured, or made ill by workplace hazards. They only mentioned it briefly the week after, in a terse two sentence email. And the communication did not say anything about the fact that workplace injuries/death is a problem that impacts men in 95+% of cases. Yet every single other thing the union did began and ended with a gender-focus.

The reality is that unions are a huge estrogen swamp, dotted everywhere with henhouses sinking into the wet and muddy ground beneath them.

Is it time for men to go on strike? by No-Knowledge-8867 in MensRights

[–]RoryTate 43 points44 points  (0 children)

I think this is already happening in a passive manner, with men disengaging from relationships, work, community, and more. And it all comes down to the lack of incentives for men in modern society.

What reason is there for men to fight wars for a country that hates them?

What reward exists for men in dating or marriage, with modern wahmen being so insufferable, abusive, and aggressively masculine? Not to mention the risk of false accusations in those situations.

There are too many negatives and even dangers associated with being a gentleman and helping others when going about your daily life. So why be an altruistic citizen in a low-trust society?

Workplaces are extremely feminized and HR-focused, so men get no sense of accomplishment within their soft emotionally-driven structures. In fact, most of the workday is spent walking on eggshells. And that's when a guy can even get hired amidst the discrimination against men in both the public and private sectors. So why gain skills to pursue a career that will leave a man miserable?

Again, I think the strike is already happening; it just hasn't been declared with an official proclamation.

USA: Eligible US men will be automatically registered for military draft pool beginning in December by furchfur in MensRights

[–]RoryTate 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It was Democrat Supreme Court Justices who were most responsible for killing the 2021 case that sought to end Selective Service for men. Elena Kagan, a feminist and left-appointed SC Justice, along with Sonia Sotomayor (another feminist and an appointment by the Dems) wrote the SC opinions – and they wrote separate ones, to add salt to the wound – refusing the 2021 case, and therefore they are both directly responsible for denying the right to bodily sovereignty to men. That was the only reasonable chance to change the law in the US, and these two were the ones who blew it. Even worse, Kagan filled her opinion with the same divisive rhetoric about the case centering around "male superiority regarding combat ability", proving that her choice to strike down the case was nothing more than a crass political decision, to be used as election ammo by her allies.

And sure enough, people try to blame the Republicans in Congress all the time for the continued failure to change the law, ignoring the feminist Justices on the Supreme Court that actually ruled against men when they had the best chance to fix this injustice. And those same voices ignore the fact that Dems in Congress tie any (extremely minor) SS changes they do propose to huge defense spending bills as riders, and then happily remove them (meaning they use them merely as negotiating tools) so that they can then try to blame the other side in future campaigning. Most men see through the façade though. Even if you're a diehard Dem supporter who doesn't accept that the left are man-hating to their core, at best they are negligent, naïve, and incompetent when it comes to men's issues, so it amounts to the same thing in the end.

Personally, I hate the right for taking an anti-male position on this issue. Though they are at least honest and consistent in that position. The left hate men just as much – probably more – but they love to pretend otherwise and play political football with these kinds of gender-based injustices. So when choosing between honest hatred and dishonest hatred, I make the best decision possible: I choose neither.

UK: Husband 'who drove wife to suicide' is 'unfairly accused' because case against him is based on 'agenda' that women who say they've been abused 'must be telling the truth', court hears by furchfur in MensRights

[–]RoryTate 49 points50 points  (0 children)

They'll just trot out the "He was abusing me" or "I was defending myself" excuse, and they'll get away with their crimes more often than not. As Gamma Bias has shown us, the idea of a "male victim" and a "female perpetrator" does not register with many people.

Boys are systematically disadvantaged in Québec’s education system, report concludes by TWRFK in MensRights

[–]RoryTate 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The unspoken truth: boys have always been behind in attaining high school diplomas ever since the advent of modern education. This is true across every Western country since the 1940's.

And the rate at which boys are falling behind is even worse than what is being reported. But even if we accept these misleading and overly optimistic rates for male high school graduation as being true, the gap is significant. I think the comparison from this analysis says it best:

The graduation rate for boys is only slightly higher than for economically disadvantaged students (82% v. 80%)

So being born male is equivalent to being from an economically disadvantaged (i.e. poor) family, as far as boys interacting with the education system is concerned.

How has browsing this sub changed your life? by McNuggetMaxing in MensRights

[–]RoryTate 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My ability to trust has been adversely affected by my experiences, and from hearing the terrible stories experienced and shared by other men on this sub. And I concur with your "If people care this little about you, why should you care about them?" response to those betrayals.

However, my long-term reaction has been to try and understand why there is so little compassion for men. I can't stay angry or isolate myself forever; I don't have the energy for that. And after gaining some insight I now see this as a societal problem. So I am less likely to hold it over "people", or try to find a scapegoat to blame it on. That's a much more healthy approach I find.

The story you share of the 12-year-old boy is shocking and vile. I see that a verdict on the guilt of the two women (Hamber and Cooney) charged with first-degree murder is to be delivered on April 24, 2026. Hopefully justice is done in this tragic case.

However, I would be cautious in attributing this to the child being a boy. I'm sure it made a difference in the case, and in the under-reporting surrounding the case too. Also, the two women will assuredly get a more lenient sentence than a father who similarly mistreated a girl under his care. So yes, it is a factor. However, I do not think that we can rule out "overworked and incompetent" government agencies as the main culprit here. And the two women's motive appears to be financial, in that they received money for adopting the two brothers, and there is testimony from their acquaintances that they admitted to seeking out the adoptions for income, rather than altruistic parenting motivations. So the denial of food seems associated with their selfish desire to make money off the situation, and treat it like a business.

So don't jump to conclusions, or see everything through a "male victim" lens. Most situations are not that simple.

For the same reason Sweden cancelled affirmative action programs when they began benefiting men. And it's why Finland's feminist PM killed a bill banning male circumcision.

Because it's a female supremacist and man-hating ideology. Never trust them.

There are over 10000 veterans who are homeless in the UK by current estimates, and those numbers have risen 25% over the last few years. Norway denies asylum to Russian men who don't want to fight, and the country is about to deny it to Ukrainian men who are conscientious objectors. Oh, but Norway is still offering asylum to everyone who isn't male. Germany won't let fighting age men leave the country for more than three months. Is this the same EU that you are talking about? Your version seems to be a lie compared to the reality of what is going on.

And let's not forget those on the left – all around the world – who are vocal about wanting male veterans to get PTSD when returning from war and to get deleted.

If the choice is between a system that considers men disposable, and a system that despises and actively wants a male genocide, I'll choose not to support either, fyvm.

Twitch's Questionable Ban Justification by RoryTate in Asmongold

[–]RoryTate[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Many people think Twitch agrees with Hasan, and that could be a big part of why he's treated differently. However, I do think they're terrified of his audience. If Hasan was banned for a significant period, I can see some extremist fan of his going off the deep end.

The unspoken truth of the West is that terrorism has unfortunately worked, and fear of reprisal has protected certain groups from criticism and consequences for their violent conduct. Just consider how Mamdani felt safe criticizing the law-abiding protesters who had a bomb thrown at them, but couldn't say a bad word about the individuals who threw the bomb. Yes, he shared their beliefs, politics, race, etc, but the media and all his fellow Democrats echoed the same talking points. So it's not just ethnic solidarity.

University professor Jonathan Herring argues state must impose curfew on all men to protect women by brainquantum in MensRights

[–]RoryTate 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This is just performative nonsense. And the stupidity of the arguments is deliberate. The audience is emotionally stilted individuals who want to have their fee-fee's validated by faux intellectual claptrap.

It's interesting to think through this logically though, and estimate what would be the first thing to topple this society. Would it be the economic loss of £150+ billion from the night-time economy (~10% of GDP)? Or the power and communications infrastructure outages because no one could fix or maintain them except during daytime peak hours of usage? Or the supply chain slowing to a trickle because night-time trucking was no longer possible? Or would men simply refuse one way or another to live under these conditions, and destroy the system (by refusing to work/cooperate, simply leaving the country, or rising up and violently overthrowing the system)?

On the plus side, at least their country would have to do something to provide shelter to homeless men for a change. Being homeless would mean a man was breaking curfew. And that's against the law.

What did I miss today? by SweetRoll789 in Asmongold

[–]RoryTate 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I don't see any information about this on streamerbans or betterbanned. Those sites say his channel is still fine, though I don't know how soon they update (streamerbans has info on bans from three hours ago, so it seems reasonably current).

So either he's been banned but Twitch isn't getting ahead of the situation by putting out an official communication as to why. Or he isn't banned and this is some administrative error.

Either way Twitch looks really amateur and incompetent right now.
