I know it’s ironic to post on this board alongside the MH, gender critical and radfem general but I feel that my misandristic sensibilities are starting to get a little out of hand - put simply, I feel that I’m getting too old for this shit. Having a healthy suspicion of males is normal, but I’d really like reel back this mindset to a degree. The only problem is that every time I step outside or go online, males ruin my progress agin and again by showing how shit they are.

Does anyone else struggle with this?

Kek. The sad truth.
Anyway I knew a lady age 90 who was a real manhater, or rather she had no tolerance for male bullshit, having survived both WW2 and abusive husbands. I don't think you get too old for it, just experience more and more of male bs the longer you live.

Why do want to hate them less when this is your experience? I mean are you ‘misandrist’ in the sense that you purposely seek out men and start shit with them for no reason? No? Then your disdain is perfectly justified. Refusal to give their kind more benefit of the doubt more than they deserve, to tolerate bullshit bc society thinks it’s nbd isn’t “unhealthy” or whatever and we should stop feeling guilty about it.

No. 392247

Why? Who cares? Men are mean and cruel and deserve our wariness.

No. 392255

I'd like to cut down, mostly for my mental health but also because the men I'm closest to are actually good people.

I'm prone to getting fixated on shit and this has been my recent thing since it's based in truth and gives me that good anger high. I spend way too long each day considering a new thing men do and upset myself with it. Sometimes it gets serious and I feel like dying lmao, mostly because, though I hate them so much, I really desire partnership with a man.

I'm guessing that changing it is like changing any mindset. I used to hate women too but stopped that, so there may be hope for men too.

No. 392259

I've felt this a few times but then I remember that men never feel guilty for trashing women even in real life so it doesn't matter. They seriously say the nastiest, meanest shit and do not hesitate to stalk and beat on women.

Be aware of their bullshit but don't let it consume your life and seep into everything little thing you do. You're just feeling guilt and empathy when there's no real reason to because men absolutely do not return the favor.
Take a break from /ot/ if you think it's consuming you but calling out men on their bullshit is perfectly justified.

No. 392281

I don't understand the complete and under hatred of men. Maybe I benefit from them? Most men have only ever been good to me. Save for one guy, but he was a shitty person, just as there are plenty of shitty women I have to deal with every day. The majority of great bosses I've had were male. The most supportive and encouraging people have been, too.

If I had to count, the amount of positive interactions I've had with men compared to women are probably 5:1.

Maybe because you’ve only had good experiences of them? I think you’ve wandered onto the wrong thread. I’m not interesting in hearing the tedious fucking takes on how to recover from a debilitating hatred of men from sheltered people who can’t even understand misandry to begin with.

No. 392285

My hatred of men has made me cherish the good ones in my life more than I feel the average person cares about their loved ones. It probably has a lot to do with my area, but it really wasn't that hard for me to find a wonderful man to marry and a great set of male friends. I think women in certain areas have a harder time because misogyny is more socially acceptable there.

The important thing is to not subscribe to the idea some anons have that there are NO lovely men out there and anyone who seems good is a ticking time bomb. And if you live in a particularly bad area, consider moving if it's an viable option.

Pretty much this, men as a whole ARE trash but a small handful are ok.

I guess the only thing I should watch is my edgelord humor when I'm talking irl. The decent guys in my life take part in discussions about gender equality and jokes about toxic masculinity , but if instead just ranted that I was literally just waiting for them to rape and kill someone because no man can ever be redeemed, then that's not gonna help anybody lol
I don't think we need to worry about this though, even in the pinkpill thread people are mostly on board with the idea they're discussing the shit majority and systems of masculinity rather than every single guy including your brother… Unlike on redpill forums that are just generalise literally all women.

I don't hate men for being male the way they hate us for being female, I just hate misogyny. Too bad they can't see us as human beings and this is all too evident online, so whenever I'm here I hate them.

If you want it to calm down, cut yourself off from places and sites where manhate is talked about 24/7. After a while you will begin to relax your stances on men being trash, if that's in fact what you want. People have innate differences, yes, but mutual respect is not impossible or even improbable.

Not OP but each time I relax about men and think they are not so bad there is some new atrocity commited by men against women and children in the news, or some man IRL turns out to be a huge misogynist wanker.
While yeah, this is an overall quite negative site to spend time on (lots of focus on bad stuff) but at the same time it's generally what men actually do IRL that breeds resentment.

I find it helps to remember to have some empathy. As a woman I don't like how men assume that all the bad stereotypes about women are true, so I shouldn't expect a man to like how women assume that bad stereotypes of men are true. There are shit men and there are shit women. I feel that when these people get called out and are forced to face the consequences of there actions, it's focused around gender rather than being about them just being a bad person. If a man commits a crime against a woman, it's used as justification to hate all men and when a woman commits a crime against a man, it's used as justification to hate all women. The whole debate about men and women in general seems like it's framed by the extreme fringes of either side while most people stand confused in the middle.

No. 392390

>>392338
This isn’t even remotely true, women have made huge advances for societies with men taking the credit and even now continue to do so - look at all the women who excel in academics, we greatly outnumber men, and yet you’re trying to telling me that we’re all mostly average? Yeah nah, that doesn’t add up. It’s almost as though it would be skewed to seem that way because women up until very recently weren’t allowed the same academic resources men were.

No. 392392

I don't even understand this blind hatred for men. Each person is an individual, there are men I like and men I dislike, just like there are women I like and women I dislike. I believe this sort of toxic mindset is lack of empathy, thinking the world is black and white and that there's a clear enemy out there. Everyone feels pain, everyone feels lonely, everyone feels scared from time to time. Leaving behind the "us vs them" thinking and learning to see them as individual human beings is the best thing you can do.

Sitting on the fence being comfortably moderate is all well and good until you look at actual statistics and see that real life isn't so conveniently simple.

Think of the fact that men do most of the heavier, harsh, dangerous work. Remember that most of the people who built our progress and advanced our society are men.

Men's willingness to do manual labour, especially ourdoors, is their main redeeming trait to me. They are stronger than us and that is very valuable. I would never try to say we're better off without them due to that fact alone, but it doesn't exactly compensate for how they actively held women back all throughout history to keep us home, instead of in academia and the workforce doing more for society.

Men are not benevolent. They only do what helps them and their lineage, and most of the time that is exerting complete control over our reproductive systems.

We've come a long way as a society. None of my ancestors lived safer lives than mine. I choose to focus on the progress we're making. I know men are better today than they were yesterday and I know tomorrow they can be even better. That's why I don't hate them as a whole.

Being a misandrist doesn't mean you automatically hate every person with a penis regardless of what they've done. It means the actions of men as a whole have lead you to be extra cautious, have trust issues, and acknowledge that males in general are extremely fucked up and typically far more sadistic and evil than women.

but are all fujos into young boys? being a fujo doesn't mean young boy, necessarily. not a fujo but like, i admit i am into a certain type of man (very skinny, facially feminine, fragile) but it doesn't mean young. men have an obsession with age. a girl could literally look 44 but actually be 17 and men will fetishize that shit because she's literally 17. i don't think so many women have a hard on for being young or barely legal.

i see so many marriages ruined by men going after 20 year olds that look, really, hardly, or no younger than their ex wives. i think a lot of these women you're speaking about are just into feminine men and typically this is something boys and men don't want and they actively try to look more masculine, because it's not very acceptable in society for men to be androgynous, so it's associated with men being young. i don't think it necessarily means young though, it's just the only time when being/looking feminine as a male (without being like, troon-y) is acceptable.

There's a world of difference between a pedo male whacking it to an obviously 6-year old little girl and a fujo girl getting off to an ambiguously drawn 16-year old boy that can be interpreted just as well as a 25-year old if you don't read his wiki page, dipshit.

The "women can be just as bad as men!!" claim is retarded as fuck to begin with, a male often has 8 inches and 50-60 pounds on an average woman and men still commit 99% of all rapes and make only 9% of all rape victims. Some hag hitting on a young male is in no way comparable to an old geezer harassing a young woman. They're both being sexual harassed, yes, but statistically the young man was never in any danger and is way less likely to experience it.

youre thinking strength but even that doesnt hold up since theres nothing stopping a woman from targeting other women. despite women being le smol and weak uwu, we still have our taller,shorter, thinner and thicker types, theres nothing stopping a strong woman from victimizing, robbing, and assaulting another weak woman, or even assembling girl gangs to target other women, like how men do to other men all the time. yet you still dont see this happen.

even with the advent of guns, a weapon that requires 0 effort or physicality to shoot, we still dont see women committing as much crime as men do.

I read that women are actually better shooters than men because of our lower center of gravity.
So, if we were just as bad as them, we'd most likely be over-represented in gun crime. Still, that's not happening. It's almost like male violence isn't actually the default of humanity, but an issue with themselves that they've simply refused to fully acknowledge all this time.

NTA, but I'm not really seeing a contradiction. It can be both. Both size and moral disparity explain why we're not as bad.
Men are worse off morally alone, but even the few among us who are as "just as bad" as any man simply aren't as much of a threat because we're not as strong (and since we already aren't as bad, we're also not trying to get around our physical weakness en masse by using guns, heavy lifting, drugs, etc to make ourselves strong enough to commit evil acts).

We are discussing, though. All we've done ITT is debate bad arguments and fallacies.
I don't think OP wants some kind of "Man Love Containment Thread", she just wants to chill out about disliking men so much. The only problem is, all the "Men aren't that bad" or outright male defense/handmainden-ish talking points that are starting to pop out of the woodwork are just wrong when you look at hard reality. Once you wake up, you'd have to turn off your brain or literally become delusional to go back.
The only way out is probably to accept that men are pretty bad, but try not to let it get you down somehow.

There’s a difference. When a fujo is fantasizing about some teenaged anime boy, is she imagining that she’s in highschool along with him? In my experience, that’s usually how it goes. Men into loli and other pedobait get off on the power balance and fantasize themselves as the older man.

But I didn’t get my hatred of men from lolcow! If anything, being on female spaces like this helps to ease my misandry because it offers me a temporary retreat from male presence and the misogyny which accompanies it. Misogyny is everywhere is mainstream society and I feel that it’s gotten exponentially worse with ironic meme culture.

I consider my men are great, maybe one of them will love me and we will have a fulfilling and fun relationship phase as delusional. There's no way I'd go back. My opinion now is something like men can be good when they try really hard, but even the best men can't be trusted and you should prepare for disappointment at any turn

>the idea some anons have that there are NO lovely men out there and anyone who seems good is a ticking time bomb

I mean…that's a fact. I've been (and am currently, without my consent) the "backup plan" for too many men to count, men with long term relationships who will keep either chatting to me constantly, meeting me, or just stalking me online…this has gone on my whole life. I have only viewed them as friends but it's quite clear what their interest really is. Even your "lovely" man has a backup plan or two. The worst men will outright cheat, see escorts, whatever, but the best will have "backup plans" which are extremely active and tended to on a daily basis. By the way once I realised this was happening, I stopped talking to the guys, I was a little too trusting and innocent when I was younger. But it still happens (and is currently happening to me still), and I would absolutely describe all these guys as kind, thoughtful, caring and so on. I mean maybe you have ongoing backup plans too, but I find that to be shitty behavior and the "best" ones all do it.

OP, honestly this is something you have to learn to live with if you value your self-preservation as a human female. I've been in your shoes, I've gone through the "I don't want to hate males because it makes me feel terrible and hopeless since they are like the other half of the population" phase and I can assure you I tried to focus on the "good ones" in my life but honestly I think the best way to cope with that feeling instead of drowning in self delusion like het women and handmaidens do is just to understand that they aren't really jackshit, and that it isn't really very hard for us to be better than them. Don't be in a constant state of hatred/fear towards them but never expect too much from them neither, and keep a security distance from them emotionally speaking since you'll have to deal with them anyways. Be nice to them, be a nice decent person which is just the way to go, but don't let them take an advantage of you or to manipulate or control you and you'll be fine.

Most of my "meaningful" relationships I've had since my teens have been with males and I can tell you, they aren't the same as us, they'll never be. That doesn't mean they have automatically to be bad, but hell, even the most decent ones are 9/10 times extremely retarded and you need to constantly make sure they don't fuck up things and mommy them. They just require a ridiculous amount of attention and validation from females all the time it blows my mind. There is a reason why men tend to vastly die and kill themselves in such ridiculous ways so often when they are left to their own.

>>392576
Fuck off retard. Go outside and actually attempt to have meaningful and trustable relationships with them outside the "teehee my toyboy friends/bf" and try to say again they "aren't that fucked up".

This is my relationship with my best friend. He's emotionally dependent on me in a very "mother/child" way to the point where my husband took serious issue with it and I've had to pull away a lot. I think it stems from mommy issues and the fact he's been a magnet for extremely toxic emotionally abusive women.

Everytime I start to think that this world would be better without men in it, I just think about the 4 years I spent at an all-womens college and how much I hated it. That experience is truly what took me from "all men are trash" kind of feminist to "feminism means men and women are equal"

Same. I've realized that my idea of love aligns more with other women's idea of love. I look at some of my friends who still live in the delusion that their boyfriends will one day match up to the "female" idea of love and just want to laugh. Men as a whole are completely different from us, but in more negative than positive ways.

i struggle with this all the time

i know logically not all men are shit, but it's hard to trust them in current society when it seems they have inborn hatred of women. constant microaggressions and sex wars are tiring.

i have resigned to care about fictional husbandos because i'm just too tired to want to reveal myself to a man only to be hurt by him and his bullshit. fake men won't cheat on you because they need more pussy. fake men won't start to lose interest in sex with you because they watch too much porn. fake men won't suddenly snap and kill you.

i care about equality, though it's very hard not to constantly be disgusted by the things men do based on sexual urges. men ruin trust, rape, torture, and kill based on sex. it's just the worst.

Has anyone else grown up as a kid with all boys as friends, and not liking "girl" stuff, so not having a lot of girl friends? And being kind of annoyed with girls because "they just cause drama". This carried on through high school/college, then at some point there was some rude awakening that by around that age, guys turn into literal demons.
I didn't see it right away, I only did when I moved back to where my original friend group was. Guys I've known for 10 years, "good guys", just didn't care about me anymore. They wanted to see what sexual things they could get out of me.
Obviously not all of them were bad, but very very few I was able to keep. It's weird to come from a place of only wanting guy friends, to now only (mostly) wanting girl friends.
Guys don't have to be total woman-hating rapists to be pieces of greedy, selfish shit. You also don't always know right away if they will be (come on.. 10 years…). It's so hurtful.
So whatever anons want to, idk hate men less or something, please still be extremely wary. Yes you can give guys a chance, but drop them right away after any sign of something being wrong. Even if it's something that just hurts a little bit emotionally.
Mine, and probably most of the other anons here, wariness of men has come from my own experiences and came before these threads.
I've also had no experience with a relationship with a good guy, because they've all just wanted sex. Most of them don't give a shit.

I already posted this on reddit
Why I am afraid of men or why being afraid of men isn't irrational

My parents were good people, they loved my sister,brother and me equally,My father had some benevolent sexist attitudes but he was a good guy and still loved and supported my older sister when she came out
I have never been assaulted or raped so on paper I should have no reason for fearing men
though the time I started fearing men came in my early 20's
I got into fitness when I was younger, I started lifting religiously, and after three years I felt i was invincible and honestly believed I could beat 2-3 guys on my own (at this point I had never been in a fight in my life),my delusions of strength were shattered when my elderly father,a man with a beer-gut who had become inactive decided to get back in shape and I helped him on his journey of getting fit however with in 2 months he surpassed my three years of hard-work
the biological reality became clear and I truly started learning how weak I am,I started hating my body and the limitations it had
now I don't hate men,some of the people I love most in this world are men but I am more cautious around men then women and this isn't irrational fear
I only hope in the future though genetic engineering both men and women have equal physical strength

There are many other damning statistics out there. But either way, it's true they don't all commit violent crime. But almost all of them watch porn.

You can tell it's made up by a male because he's assuming being aroused (the real accusation they're aiming at rape victims) correlates significantly with certainty of orgasm. It doesn't matter how turned on you are, doesn't even matter how good the dick feels, if someone isn't dedicating serious time and attention to consistent clit stimulation, it's not that likely to cause an orgasm for most women. Most guys can't manage to give a girl an orgasm even when they try, the chances that a rapist will do it effortlessly is… absurd.
