Critics of the “Manosphere” and “red-pill” content creators can point out what they think is negative or destructive about what they represent, along with who has become their main representatives, but one thing is for sure: neither one would have come into existence if it weren’t for something going drastically wrong, which has had a profoundly negative effect on men, their relationships, how they see themselves, and, most importantly, how society has come to view the value of men in general. And feminists can try to pass off the rise of the resistance to feminism from so many men as just men trying to hang on to some patriarchal control or men refusing to evolve if they want, but once you start taking a hard look at the facts of what has actually transpired since feminism started to have such a profoundly negative affect on society by changing so many narratives to align with only advocating for women, without the slightest concern for what men go through in the same circumstances, and then consider the endless double standards of how men are treated when something bad happens to them, compared to how society today responds to women when they find themselves in the same situations, and then add in how much women think they can get away with making false accusation because of decades of feminists building the sentiment among the public to the point of believing he should always be seen as guilty until proven innocent, instead of the other way around, and then even still maybe factor in how men are treated as always just being oppressive by simply asking for reciprocation in a relationship; I can’t help but ask — what the fuck did everyone expect men to do?
I personally have survived through the last fifty plus years of feminism’s influence on the attitudes and thinking of women and society as a whole, and after seeing up close and personal how a man is treated in everything from how the case is handled when a man is the victim of domestic abuse along with how little women are held accountable after they have been found to have falsely accused a man of wrongdoing, to how everything that is wrong with society is made to look like a man is ultimately to blame, I wouldn’t blame men at all if one day they ALL just decided it’s no longer worth the effort to try to do what’s right for the benefit of anyone ever again.
Are there bad men in this society and others that need to be dealt with and held accountable if they do wrong? Absolutely! But do the actions of a few determine the nature of the majority? These days, the answer could very well depend on which feminist you ask, and certainly the feminist who was the victim of abuse and hasn’t dealt with it would say so, or possibly it could simply be the feminist who has learned from other feminists to view men who take on the provider role as nothing more than her oppressor, or maybe even the feminist who couldn’t handle being rejected by a man and thought nothing of ruining his life. Either way, it’s getting more difficult to choose with each passing day when dealing with feminists because, as of yet, they still can’t seem to figure out which version of equality they like more: the one where women benefit the most and suffer the least while leaving men to fend for themselves, or the one where all the thinking that goes into making decisions falls totally and exclusively in line with the way women think.
We are long overdue for something to change in how we view men and what they have been through since feminism was introduced as the go-to solution for women, and instead of just listening to one side of the conflicts facing both men and women (like what women say must be the ultimate standard for a solution), we drastically need to start considering that what we have been fed as equality could just as well be equality at the expense of men. And I don’t care how many times, or in how many different ways feminists try and convince society men are disposable, obsolete, and “we don’t need a man,” the negative consequences for ignoring the issues men have with how they have been treated are not the kind we get to ignore and deal with later, because unless you haven’t noticed, later is here with how men are trying to be heard, and this time, (mostly because of social media) men are not going to stop for the sake of offending women, (or anyone else for that matter) and they are angry, and most of all fed up with society sitting back and going along with the status quo of being the escape-goats for any problems in relationships or any dificulty women might have it in life.
Also — you CAN be against feminism and NOT against women all at the same time, which is why I personally think feminism should be taken apart, disbanded, and not ever thought of as a positive social movement for women in any respects. Feminism might have started as a positive way for women to make changes for a multitude of good reasons to do good for women, but what it is has evolved into endless double standards (always claiming equality while watching men fail and thinking nothing of it) and sending a message to young women that all they have to do is blame it on him, take no accountability for their actions, and everyone will look the other way if he’s harmed; feminism is now everything but what we could call a women’s advocacy group, and I definetly want no part of it in my life if I can help it, and hope others will decide the same before men and women are left with no other choice but to see each other as advisories to overcome instead of partners for life.
