So recently I learned that the she hulk serious on Disney+ has been a bit of a flop atleast by MCU standards, and this has lead to stupid behaviour by fans, fans of the show have been blaming men for this and claiming we are misogynistic for not supporting the show. I will explain why this is stupid, the majority of the MCU and DCEU audience is mainly a male demographic. The Wonder Woman movie was a success so you can’t claim that it’s the man hating the female lead, birds of prey was another and this example goes back even further with movies like aliens. To victimise yourself over something so stupid and demonise all men ironically all your doing is demonising all women and making men the victim as a result.

Has anyone heard the story of Taron James? In 2007 he was denied child support reimbursement after proving paternity fraud with a DNA test.

Legal Rights

The tldr version was a guy in the Navy during the gulf war who was friends with a girl and 12 months before the baby was born he was deployed. The chick lied he was the dad and went and got welfare. Navy garnished $700 a month from his paycheck and wouldn’t pay for an attorney for him because it’s a civilian matter. He couldn’t afford a lawyer and it took a decade for the DNA test and even then it wasn’t enough.

Also he was a guest on The Tom Leykis Show

What Feminism gets wrong about Masculine Energy

Feminism

We see it all the time. In the new world of rewriting of social contracts between the sexes, women have started to use masculine energy in their social interactions to get what they want from the world. Sometimes it works, but when it fails it gives a higher than usual dose of cringe to anyone witnessing the faux pas.

Why? Are we so unused to seeing a woman exerting power that we mouth breathing Neanderthals need to 'check ourselves'? Our 'toxic masculinity' viewpoint can't handle progress? We are secret sexists who feel extra cringe because we are extra misogynist?

Nope. We are cringing extra hard because we are watching feminists wield a tool they don't fully understand. They wave it around in ferocious abandon, 'slaying' and demanding subservience. They use only part of the power of masculine energy and don't understand the other half of it's use.

It reminds me of the old saying, "When your only tool is a hammer, every problem in the world looks like a nail." This hammer is the new shiny tool of masculine energy feminist 'discovered' and men are the nails.

Feminists use the 'dark side' of the masculine energy paradigm. The aggressive side that will not allow someone to cross their boundaries and 'disrespect' them. This is a valuable and necessary part of masculine energy. In Nature if a male mammal cannot defend its home and resources, in most species another male will kill it and take their stuff and mates. So it's a necessary part of the masculine energy bundle we carry if we are to survive and reproduce in Nature.

But without balance, the masculine energy bundle implodes. Constant aggression means constant war and no one to sow the crops and build the houses. So men balance that out with the ability to put aside the conflicts when hierarchy and roles have been settled by discussion or even 'dark energy' conflict. But WHEN that is settled masculine energy can become a unifying team force, helping men perform better in war parties, civilization building, dangerous jobs, and joint defense of their mates and children.

That is the part that feminism doesn't understand. They never rarely use the other part of the masculine energy pattern of building a solid team and functioning in it. They found that being aggressive gets them what they want...and they stopped thinking about it at that point.

This is where Karens come from. When the masculine energy fails to resolve a situation, men will either settle or fight it out, but actual fights are rare because we understand both sides of our energy and where it can lead. Karens never pause to consider whether the hill they are fighting over is worth dying for. They double down again and again. Sometimes to the point of arrest for assaulting those who will not bend a knee.

You might think this is not at all correct and you might even be right, because this is an opinion. It is the opinion of a veteran of several long term relationships over the years and two marriages. I have watched feminism accomplish most of the good things it set out to do and then morph into something twisted and damaging to its own cause.

Consider this:

Story about how I am currently accused of domestic violence

False Accusation

I'm innocent. In the police statement she gave in 4k, surround camera with surround microphone at the police station, she admitted that she would hit me. Police, my lawyer etc didn't give a sht and still dont and i was arrested. I was at work when I was arrested, I hadnt seen the ex in a week. The police just called me and said that they wanted to speak with me and asked where I was, didn't say about what just that It was important and to stay at work. Was waiting for them outside and they came and handcuffed me and everything in front of basically everyone.

I carry some prescription medicine with me all all times and I was suppose to take a pill while in jail - the cops said no to that. They made sure to make fun of a couple of times. Also when I was being released they made sure repeat nice and loud what I was accused off so the other prisoners knew.

No prior interactions with police so they released me after 12 ish hrs at 1am and it was raining and I didn't so much as have a jacket. A restraining order was applied to me, so had no home to return to. All my money was in a joint acct with the ex and cops strongly implied i'm not allowed to access it. The cops said to go to a homeless shelter - homeless shelter doesn't take new clients at 1am. Which they must have known, got soaked on the walk there. Long story short, my ID was at home, so had no ID, so no way to access bank accounts or anything.

Was homeless for 2 months, was mugged twice while homeless. Nearly got arrested for squatting in a abandon buildings with some other homeless people a few times. One of the homeless friends later relapsed and died from a fentayl overdose, no one was around when he died. He had a dog that was left behind on this world. Some shelters have ID requirements, some shelters only let you stay for 1 week, some have people tweaking and withdrawing from god knows what and they're screaming bloody murder all night long, and I couldnt sleep well through that. A random kind pharmacist was sympathetic and gave me a 7 days of my prescription for free, but after that wasn't able to take my meds.

Lost 50 000 from being banned from my former joint bank acct, working minimum wage work now and have to pay 15 000$ for my lawyer - who has given me no legal advice. Never could qualify for social assistance due to ID and having money in my former bank account - the other homeless people told me I should have lied about formerly having money, but I didn't know this in advance. Also unable to qualify for legal aid for similar reasons.

I've never met the crown, but my lawyer conveyed to me that that want me to plead guilty - I said no. When i get criminal record check it says "charges pending", which employers are pretty unhappy about and i'm accused of a violent crime against a not cishetman to make it worse.

If anyone else reads this and finds themself in a similar situation, my situation improved by a series of lucky breaks and helpful people - volunteer and paid: It was summer when I was homelss, so no risk of freezing to death. Random church accepted mail for me to get ID, one of the formerly homeless guys got a place and let me stay there, ladies volunteering giving out free food at a church let me paint their house for some money, one of their son's is the same size and age as me and they gave me his clothes and shoes which I used for job interviews, that same church letting me store a small bag of important belongings their, tons of free food from free food events around the city, having friendly homeless people to sleep next to for safety, etc. One of the workers who helped me out later died from suicide.

I'm aware of what I've shared and it wont impact my trial.

Insane numbers of homeless guys begun their homeless lives after having a restraining order applied to them.

Help this feminist understand.

Feminism

First off, I hope this post is appropriate for this sub. If not, please let me know where I might post instead.

I’m a mother, wife, and feminist (more on this later) who is hoping to learn more about the gender-based challenges faced by my husband and our baby boy.

It was a huge wake up call for me when I asked my husband what he worried about most for our children (we have a daughter as well) and he said how his son would fair growing up male. I can’t lie- when he first said this I bristled. But a bristle is a clue that I need to learn more, so here I am, hoping to learn from you all.

I guess I have several questions:

where did feminism go wrong? Feminism - as I understand it - shouldn’t be about man bashing. Quite the opposite! It ought to be concerned with gender equity for everyone, but instead it’s lead to combativeness.
feminism can be defined so many different ways. Sometimes it’s about gender equity and sometimes it’s unapologetic misandry. What IS feminism and how do we ensure we are being precise enough in our word choice to avoid misunderstandings?
And finally what advice would you give a feminist raising a son?

I’ve been lurking on this thread for a while and am impressed (for the most part) by the well reasoned discussions and willingness to embrace the grey areas in understanding gender issues. I look forward to hearing everyone’s thoughts.

Free legal aid, sports, cooking classes... why aren't more services for single fathers as good as this?

Legal Rights

A small charity in London, UK, is having a massive impact on single dads, offering various services, including free legal aid, football, yoga, cooking classes, a food bank, and more. Why aren't services of this kind available anywhere else? Or if there are, please let me know.

Speculation: Why is Tom Brady's wife filing for divorce NOW?

General

Some have speculated it's because he failed to retire. I have a different theory, and that theory is Alimony. Right now, his annual income is in the 10s of millions when he retires it will drop A LOT. File for divorce while he is playing and his current income is what will be used to calculate her alimony.

Am I in the wrong here?

Social Issues

So I am a male university student enrolled in psych class, and this weeks assignment was on workplace violence. The female professor (more like a lecturer) assigned us the book “The Gift of Fear” by Gavin de Becker. However, when I started reading the chapter assigned - the author only uses “he/him” when talking about violent behavior from employees.

For example, de Becker uses “He has obtained a weapon,” “Co-workers are afraid of or apprehensive about him,” or “He has used threats, intimidations, manipulation.”

Why doesn't the author use the gender-neutral term “employee?” Is the author suggesting that women are incapable of workplace violence? I realize that men may very well be more violent in the workplace setting, but it is disingenuous to suggest that women are also incapable of it as well.

I sent an email to my professor summarizing what I said above, and her response was quoting a note at the beginning of the book which says

“Note: Men of all ages and in all parts of the world are more violent than women. For this reason, the language in this book is primarily gender-specific to men. When it comes to violence, women can proudly relinquish recognition in the language because here, at least, politically correct would be statistically incorrect”

My professor also added: “I usually opt for gender-neutral terms, but it is true that you are either politically correct or statistically incorrect here. There's not really a middle ground.”

I disagree with her. By not using gender-neutral terms, you are thereby effectively pushing all blame on one gender when that is not the case. Of course, men are responsible for most workplace violence, but that doesn't disregard the fact that women are capable of it, also.

Grown adult women lusting over teenage boys in boy bands

General

So how come all these (mostly adult) women who think ALL men are creeps by default, end of discussion, have no issue screaming and fawning over little teenage boys that are in bands? And yet if grown men thought the same thing about 17 year old Britney Spears in 1999, it’s “ewww you’re a PERVERT!!!”

Grown women were just drooling over Harry Styles and Justin Bieber and even Justin Timberlake when they were like 17 years old. And they have the nerve to act like only MEN are disgusting pigs. It’s fucking pathetic. And I would probably tell them “oh don’t act like you wanted to screw Justin Bieber when he was just a little 16 year old boy.”

I can’t imagine what grown adult women would say about the Beatles back in the 60s as well, but I guess the guys were technically adults anyway, Paul was maybe 21?

I hope nobody gets mad that I bring this up. I’m not trying to overthink it but it just popped into my head.

Most women see very few men as attractive: devaluation of male attractiveness

Social Issues

https://www.reddit.com/r/AskWomen/comments/55de3g/what_percentage_of_guys_look_cute_to_you/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

This is fucking depressing. I knew it was low but not THIS low. And this is talking about just considering them good looking not necessarily BEING attracted. Additionally even most straight women will say women are better looking, even if not attracted to them. Meanwhile in askmen I was surprised that many thought the majority of women were. As a straight male I'd say I find maybe a quarter to a third attractive. But anyway, I feel society/culture has promoted this idea, and its reinforced through women wearing makeup, certain fashion etc. Many might blame the patriarchy for it, but I'm sure many women aren't complaining. But...I find the imbalance highly problematic.

Men at +65 - the age where the numbers flip and there's more women than men, so you feel that? Things are getting nicer, back to normal?

Edu./Occu.

You know the Human Sex Ration at birth https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_sex_ratio#Natural_ratio_at_birth - showing there's about 5% more male fetuses that the body brings to a life born baby.

So all the way up to age 65, there's 5% more women in your age "stratum = 5 years eg men of 15 to 20, 20-25, 25-30, ... .
Because women live longer, men die earlier - you have to wait till the age of 65 to reach an equilibrium males-females and after that there's indeed gradually more women. Hey, there's still some attractive women of +65, right?
So ... everybody who's +65 ... do you feel that? Things are getting nicer, back to normal?
