Why don't men call out misogyny ?

-

 


Often we hear from women lamenting how men don't hold other men to account for misogyny. Why don't men do that ? Why do they let sexist jokes slide ? Why don't they correct other men when they are being sexist ?

The answer to this is the same reason as to why women never, ever hold each other to account. Misogyny is heavily policed, prosecuted. The UK government is insisting that Adolesence is shown in UK schools. It's a fictional drama, about a boy who is radcialised, online, and stabs a female pupil. A month after the drama was shown there was the real case of a girl who went to school and stabbed two teachers. The response from the government ? Nothing.

Are men calling out other men enough ? There's always more you can do, of course there always is. The equalities act, the air time that eveil men harming innocent women get, there's a lot being done to call men out on misogyny.

Women and misandry ? Not so much. There are entire sub reddits showing the misandry then men face day after day. Nothing happens from it.

There was a really interesting discussion from men discussing how they have been sexually assaulted from women. One particular entry was very interesting. A bartender explains how he is sexually assaulted weekly, and yet he then adds this observation

"In my experience, and this is the worse part, more often than not they praise it

That's the worst part that hurts more. Watching all the women around them hoot, holler, and cheer when a woman is openly committing sexual assault to a bartender (bouncers, barbacks get it too).

Go onto TwoX or any women-centric subs; find any average woman that feels very deeply about how prevalent the danger is from men...

...those are the women that I'm watching cheer when a woman is sexually assaulting a man. And they're also the ones that simply won't count it as sexual assault. Some of them are being cruel and see it as taking the power back; but most of them just don't count it. They're happy to see sexual assault when they don't think it's sexual assault. It's just "fun" and "sexy".

That's what hurts more. Not the woman grabbing my dick. But the ten women around her that are cheering on and praising a sexual assault."

We don't know the anonymous reddit poster, he could be making this up. Even if he is that thread is absolutely full of examples of women sexually assaulting men. It happens way more often than you may think.

So whilst men could obviously do better in calling other men out over sexism there is a lot of legal protection in the system already. On the other side ? Feminists have an absolute mountain to climb given they don't even recognise misandry as even being real.

The myth of women doing the majority of housework

-

This is often trotted out in female spaces with depressing regularity. You can see it here , here and here  and any search of any feminist space will bring out the "Men expect women to do all the housework" trope. There are even studies on this which, on the surface, would seem to confirm that women do more housework than men.  Digging into these studies and it becomes quickly apparent they are extremely skewed and don't provide a very thorough picture. Measuring all household work There are two main methods used to measure household work done. The first is a survey, where you simply ask what chores people do, assign time to them and from that you find who is doing the most. This has the benefit that it's less intrusive, you can do a 30min survey and get your data, but you lack accuracy. A more intrusive, but more accurate method, is to keep a time diary. That is people note down what they are doing and from that you tot up the time on housework. The problem with th...

How far modern feminism has fallen from it's wonderful beginnings

I was recently walking around London and came across a statue, I've often walked passed on Charing Cross road near Leicester Square. The statue is of Edith Cavell somebody I know little about. Edith Cavell was a nurse during World War 1 who was celebrated for treating injured soldiers on both sides of the conflict without discrimination. She was fiercely brave and helped 200 servicemen escape occupied Belgium and return to Britain. She was caught by the Germans and executed for failing to observe medical neutrality. The night before her execution this brave woman said "Patriotism is not enough. I must have no hatred or bitterness towards anyone". This is 180 dgerees opposite to the toxic feminism that we currently see in any female space. The absolute glee which fourth wave feminists seem to take in active, bigotred, transphobia is completely unsuprising when you see how sexist & prejudiced modern feminism has become. In my view, it is no longer about equal rights. It...

The oppressed can't be the oppresor - why feminists accept sexism in their spaces

-
Image
In any feminist space you will find misandry, quickly and easily. Whenever feminists are asked about the sexism in their spaces, or movement, they generally reply by disputing that misandry exists, minimising it's effects or with whatboutism stating that male misogyny effects women far worse. The huge problem with this is that feminism has already accepted sexism at it's core. It sees sexism everywhere and because of this has now accepted sexism.Misandric comments, ideas, man hating are all  absolutely rife in feminist spaces . Claiming that misandry is fine because the oppressed can never be the oppressor is not borne out by history which tells us a very, very different story. Oppressed people, who accept prejudice to their oppresor have a strong tradition of repeating their oppression in an even worse way. If you look at the actions of Israel in Palestine then you can see, very clearly, how an oppressed people (the Jews in World War 2) really are very, very capable of being ...
