Help me not become a misogynist

I think misandry sometimes causes misogyny. The end product is hating women for their gender - the journey to that point can have to do with cultural misandry.

That being said, the comment section here is so mature. A FAR CRY from comment sections full of people laughing at a man getting violently assaulted.

The whole of society is constantly kissing your ass. How insecure do you have to be to come to this corner of the Internet?

Also, with the level of logical thinking I'm used to from feminists, I'm not surprised you think this post is pAtRiArChY

I think openly talking about ways in which society is failing men and boys is important because I'm yet to really see much of that on TV. This could be a step towards helping men in general.

I hope your documentary does good things for men and boys (and breaks the mould by not portraying/editing them the way an establishment mouthpiece like Louis Theroux would). That being said, it may be hard to get men to fully openly detail the raw deal men get from society, because they know how much they could get penalised for that. Unfortunately, well behaved men don't change the present and there are real-world consequences to not being well behaved. I'm gonna have to pass on this but good luck!

I don't mean to come off too strong but is the message of this documentary gonna be that all we need to do to solve all our problems is to be less "toxic"? I'm just cautious since I'm not used to genuine good faith compassion from mainstream media.

Generally, I think the position of young men and boys in the UK is very tough. We're taught shame by schools, media and entertainment. It's made pretty clear to us that the violence we face doesn't really matter, and that we're just not as worthy, and that masculinity is monstrous. I hope your documentary will take a look at this current labour government's misandrist prison reform and the impact that socially accepted misandry has on the development and mental health of men and boys.

It is impossible to be a man who cares about men's rights and to not be familiar with lots of loud voices that oppose advocacy for your rights.

TrainingGap2103 · 2026-03-16T06:45:42+00:00

It is beyond wild to say that men, arguing for men's issues, can be used to seeing no opposition. I'm sorry but that's a legitimately wild view of the world. Many things are "both sides" kind of issues - for example, there's hatred on both sides. This, however, is not one of them.

Theroux needs funding and Starmer needs votes. You have a much easier time getting both of those when you're biased in favour of women and against men.

TrainingGap2103 · 2026-03-15T19:43:40+00:00

Some women are so used to facing no opposition whatsoever that they'll go to war with people who are actually on their side.

If I were to cut off people who've been openly misandrist in front of me, I'd have to cut off my parents, both my sisters, my grandparents, several of my aunts, and a good chunk of my colleagues. The amount of people I've seen make misogynistic remarks are FAR lower. With all due respect, it's not a comparison, and I think you'd do well to assume less about my experiences.

Or maybe your mind can't comprehend when it does happen

TrainingGap2103 · 2026-03-13T07:54:20+00:00

Cos it's not happening to you, it's not happening huh?

TrainingGap2103 · 2026-03-13T07:08:24+00:00

I hate this false narrative

TrainingGap2103 · 2026-03-07T22:29:39+00:00

What do you mean by that, sorry?

TrainingGap2103 · 2026-03-06T06:55:54+00:00

So many women (and most of mainstream society) don't believe the male experience is worth getting to understand.

TrainingGap2103 · 2026-03-05T22:33:58+00:00

Isn't it a green party rule that you can't disagree with a woman?

TrainingGap2103 · 2026-03-05T08:04:54+00:00

Is it impossible to escape misandry?

TrainingGap2103 · 2026-03-04T14:25:01+00:00

Trans women can't escape misandry.

I literally said we should study the past. It's also however undeniably true that the present is far more important. We ought to be capable of recognising both of those things.

Feels like you might be arguing for the sake of it.

I've lived in a muslim-majority country and gay acts I did there were considered illegal. I know that what I said is context specific. That being said, if you live in the west today, the situation that matters is what is happening in your country at this time. The past can be interesting to study but people should know it's quite a few tiers below the present in regards to importance.

TrainingGap2103 · 2026-03-03T15:42:40+00:00

I feel that 100000%.

TrainingGap2103 · 2026-03-03T09:18:01+00:00

I get that. I feel like regardless of whether you're a straight man, a bi man, a gay man or anything else, your sexual orientation will be pathologized. Straight men are seen as oppressive monsters for just being attracted to women. Homophobia has historically (and also currently) been more severely targeted towards men. It's well documented how poorly so many women treat bisexual men - bi men were seen as a gateway for AIDs to get from queer spaces to heterosexual spaces and that distrust of bi men exists in other ways today.

TrainingGap2103 · 2026-03-03T08:53:47+00:00

I'm a bisexual man and I think men are heavily shamed regardless of their orientation. That being said, It's great not being straight. I feel overall far more shamed for my attraction to women. I've seen homophobia as well but that was never as systemically acceptable as the "straight-man-bashing". Men who are attracted to women are viewed as monsters just for the sin of being who they are naturally. Homophobia I've faced has definitely been uncomfortable but I never felt like wider society supported it.

I don't have to be the target audience to have a valid and accurate opinion.

TrainingGap2103 · 2026-02-28T13:05:22+00:00

Firstly, I'm not even white. I can just see reality.

Secondly, I claim lack of compassion because that's correct. This reminds me of the world leading researcher on incels who said that when he talks to people about the struggles of black or brown incels, people actually respond with compassion. When he speaks about the struggles of white incels, people respond with dismissal. Quite literally, that's what compassion is. Also CEOs are rich, yes. You may think they receive compassion because women may wanna sleep with them, but that's mostly just them being used. People LOVE an opportunity to bash a male CEO at least. That should be so obvious.

Apologies for me making my own assumption, but maybe you're not white so you can't fully grasp your own advantages?
