Activism/Support Registration for the draft becomes automatic this December. Hundreds of people have told me it’s wrong, but almost none will act.

39 Upvotes

Don't feel like reading? Skip to the bottom of the post (it's most important.)

In the US, men are told at 18 that they have to register for the draft or face consequences, and women are told nothing while they receive the benefits men can lose if they disobey. In Ukraine, there are men who aren’t allowed to leave the country, and recruitment officers have been grabbing men off the street and forcing them into vans. Most people I talk to agree that this is unfair and some are even furious about it. Yet still...all that energy goes nowhere, because everyone’s waiting for someone else to handle it.

Because of this, I’ve felt utterly hopeless. I’ve spoken to hundreds of people trying to find someone who cares enough to actually take action and even reached out to people who have done things on their own. I found next to nobody.

Still, I refuse to give up because of how important this issue is to me. I joined Men's Equality Network because despite being a small, volunteer-run nonprofit with basically zero funding, they are completely dedicated to ending male-only conscription worldwide.

This December, the government is switching to automatic draft registration for men. Right now, men at least have to actively register themselves. If it becomes automatic and most people stop thinking about it, that will set back so much progress. We need to make noise before that happens and this is an opportunity that will not return again.

MENetwork is US-based and putting everything into the US right now, since December is the deadline and because people pay attention to this country. What the US does has historically influenced the action other countries take.

If you can dedicate even just 2 hours a week until December, you can actually make a difference and do more than the vast majority of people. You’d only be helping with what you're comfortable with doing (writing, research, content making, outreach, etc.), and you can even use a nickname or be as private as you want.

If you’ve ever read a post like this and thought β€œsomeone should really do something,” I’m asking you to be the someone. You can genuinely be that person today. There's a volunteer form you can fill out right now, and it only takes a couple of minutes of your life to apply:

https://forms.gle/UWGq34ToSxptB1aC8 (their email is listed on the form in case you want to answer the questions via email instead...if you want to be even more cautious, you can request their ProtonMail address to send your answers to)

Website if you want to look them over first: https://mensequality.org/

I can answer any questions in the comments, or you can email them directly ([menetwork@mensequality.org](mailto:menetwork@mensequality.org)). There is also an inquiry submission option on their website.

Social Issues The moment I realized in general many women are controlled by their girlfriends (long story)

232 Upvotes

This is one experience of many through my life of women controlling other women under the guise of good intentions.

Many years ago, I was 22 years old and dating this sweet gorgeous blond with green eyes she was a big butt track athlete before the BBL craze of fake butts we see today. She was girly, sweet, kind and had fallen for me.

We were so madly in love, I remember spending hours with her alone together looking at the stars at night and falling asleep with her on top of me.

But things changed, she started telling her girlfriends about me, first it was good but then after a few months she started nitpicking me.

One day it was her birthday and I had to use the restroom bad, I couldn't hold it so I told her I gotta go and sprinted to the restroom mall it was far away, took a piss and ran back to the theater to meet her.

She laughed and said you should have been on the track team. We enjoyed the movie, we had a meal sang happy birthday held her hand walked her to the car dropped her back home.

Next day on Monday, I went back to college and she walks right passed me, didn't even say hi.

She finally came to me only because I called her over after school. I asked her what's wrong she said why didn't you hold my hand at the mall on my birthday? I said what I had to piss bad and couldn't hold it. I held your hand after.

She then tells me her girlfriends told her that if I really loved her I would have held her hand, and that was wrong on her birthday.

A week later she gives me a ultimatum list, she said this is what I want, you visit me at work, we do this and that etc. I thought it was a joke and laughed and said what if I don't do those things? She said than I'll find someone that will.

We dated for a few more months until she finally monkeybranched.

I was crushed, we were so madly in love until she started telling her girlfriends about me. She went to the. For advice and I never met any of them for the 8 months we dated, but they spoke for me. Why would she ask them what I'm thinking instead of asking me?

She cried on the phone when we talked, she said her girlfriend told her I was weak and she deserved better.

They were pairing her with the guy they wanted her to be with. He was boring and had no charisma but she went with him because her girlfriend approved.

3 years Later I run into a mutual female friend of ours, and I told her what happened between us, she said her girlfriend were jealous of us. She said from what she sensed these are frenemies her ugly friend would gas light her and plant seeds of doubt because they were envious of the passion we had. They saw how much she loved me and didn't want her to have it if they couldn't.

Our mutual friend told me after a year, that my ex she missed me bad and her girlfriend told her to stop crying and don't you dare apologize and trying to get with him he will see that and exploit it and that guy is probably with another woman. They were telling her I was no good for her, and guilt tripped her with we were sisters first before he came along.

I was shocked that women seek approval from outside sources. As a man I've never needed the approval of my peers, and my guy friends never tried to break up my relationship.

No wonder that female divorce attorney said the majority divorces are due to girlfriends convincing them to divorce or they deserve better

Do women even realize other women do this? Even in media you see them bitch and moan about age gaps, writing 500 articles a year from various female writers bashing age gaps as predatory but ignoring Madonna and cher.

Why do women like to control everything thing yet never take accountability and claim men are controlling women? I never seen 500 articles by me telling old women not to date young guys, we don't care.

Social Issues I am utterly upset by how gay men are sexualized by a lot of women. Please read.

143 Upvotes

To be clear, I am not generalizing women and saying that "all women sexualize gay men". Not all women to this.

Anyways, I was scrolling through Instagram reels and saw a bunch of queer coded reels of men doing makeup, dressing up and stuff like that; but the comments under those posts are always sexualizing the men in those videos. It's always women commenting "who's the top, who's bottom", "PLEASE KISS NOW", "I'm imagining them doing it(sex)", "Impregnate him" and trust me, this is a very, very small example of the stuff they say about men. It's so hypocritical coming from the same women who post about sexualization of women, misogyny, feminism, patriarchy etc. and here they are, spreading misandry and internalized homophobia.

See these screenshots i took for you guys to understand it better: https://postimg.cc/gallery/RCNv3yn

The amount of likes and reposts these posts get disturb me.

You can see how women respond to the man who called them out. They were not happy. Other GIF comments are of young men kissing, which are of course, posted by women. They have a really creepy type in young, clean shaven, cute men. I'm deeply disgusted by that because it resembles children and barely legal teen guys.

I'm fucking tired of always having to come here to get some sympathy and support because everywhere else, they make it seem like I'm the problem because i'm calling it out. I love you all and I hope one day, this fetishization of gay men stops and we can live in peace without getting bombarded by these people and other homophobes.

Anti-MRM The Guardian: What I wish the manosphere was about...

71 Upvotes

To summarize the lazy handful of cartoons in this anti-male Guardian article, in case you don't want to waste your time: Why do men online talk so much about men and the problems that boys and men face? I wish they would talk about me instead! Me me me!

I don't know if the funniest panel is her supposedly teaching men "how to be responsible", or the "you won't get any sex with me if you're part of the manosphere" hilarity at the end. I mean, is that last bit supposed to be a threat? Because it sounds like a reward.

Here's a hint: the manosphere exists in its current form as a response to all of the out-of-touch narcissists spouting man-hating rhetoric. Which is exactly what's happening in this media hitpiece against men and their online fellowships.

General A Gender-Fair Discussion of Rape

19 Upvotes

Last night on the TV show Amanpour & Company they had on a discussion of rape that was actually pretty much gender neutral. They actually spent some time discussing women raping men, and even for reasons aside from that, it was genuinely intelligent. The host tried to get into male bashing, but the two professor guests were not interested in that.

It starts out as an interview about the Cornell case, but quickly veers off into a general discussion on sexual assault in general. Here is the interview.

Men do the hard work that keep countries moving:

-mining

-Plumbing

-Electricity

-Construction worker

- Police officers

-engineers

- Etc

So those TikTok where feminists say they want all men dead is just stupidity. If all women stopped working society would be dead too. Both men and women complement each other hehe.

Discrimination Fighting for your rights as a man is not easy.

70 Upvotes

Saying that outloud is going to sound crazy, but it is very difficult. I don't know how many of you have tried complaining about discrimination as a man or sueing, but it is like nobody believes you when you say that the women are actively keeping you down and infringing on your rights as a human being. I personally have made two attempts now to fight for my own rights, and it's like everyone just shrugs at you or scoffs because you tried to legally defend yourself as if quietly saying, "Why don't you just 'man up'?"

We've quietly become second-class citizens in a world that we built. It's hard enough for men to fight for custody or when you settle out property during a divorce. You can barely even make it when a woman decides to act crazy and claim you laid hands on her with zero witnesses or evidence. You have to be so wary and self-conscious around women nowadays that you're more at peace away from them than existing even within earshot of them because it has gotten to the point where a woman's word is like a tyrant saying, "Off with his head!" and everybody cheers as you get your reputation slaughtered.

I often find myself just being assertive, neutral, and giving them the stiff arm. Stay away from me if you're not my partner. We have to literally act like assholes to keep them from taking advantage of us otherwise they will trample you and pick you apart.

Satan "herself" .. Pandora... Lillith... whereas the male candidate is the Morning Star, a bringer of light...if girls can be God, they can also be Satan...can be? πŸ˜‰

I saw a post on Facebook of a woman complaining a 33 year old guy is dating a 22 year old and calling him a β€œpredator”. I notice feminists overuse that word and apply it to two consenting adults. Like what is their cutoff on what they think is a predator or not?

General Men need to learn to be more emotional with other men without the fear of being labeled gay

55 Upvotes

Thats my opinion. Many men complain that when they become vulnerable with women ,those women react negatively to it. Wich I have no doubt they do but dont forget that us men also love to mock other men when they are emotional. Im not saying u should cry all day lol but sometimes if u have something going on u shouldn't fear talking about it to a close friend ( weither male or female). I feel like us men are mostly the one who have created this unwritten rule about men being emotionless and are the one perpetuing it

Legal Rights If you want 50/50 custody to be the default - support the National Parents Organization

https://www.sharedparenting.org/

I know that guys are reasonably mad about getting screwed out of your kids. Support the National Parents Organization (NPO). They are making real headway into solving this. This year, they got Louisiana & Mississippi to join the 50/50 custody presumption (A-tier states as designated by the NPO). Change the map so that all the states will sign up. As of now there are 8 A-tier states:

  1. Kentucky
  2. Florida
  3. West Virginia
  4. Missouri
  5. Arizona
  6. Arkansas
  7. Mississippi
  8. Louisiana

This is a way to take action. Do it!

Social Issues Everyone loves power dynamics until power dynamics benefit men

134 Upvotes

If you look at the age gap discourse, the core issue according to the usual suspects is ''power imbalance''

they will say something like ''oh but old men have more life experiences and maturity and this creates power imbalance''

So why is that a bad thing?

''because it increases the likelihood of exploitation''

Ok so for arguments sake, lets assume this is true

So if this is the case why arent the usual suspects showing extreme vitriol towards other relationship dynamics like, heightgap, financialgap, statusgap, IQgap?

A huge power imbalance exists in a relationship Where the woman is 5'4 and the guy is 6'5

A huge power imbalance exists in a relationship where the man is a millionaire or an E-celeb and the woman is making minimum wage

And yet what you see is, the same usual suspects encouraging women to seek such relationship arrangements. They get told by society to seek ''666'', regardless of who they are and where they stand. They are told to ''never settle'' and always look up

Why? Because all of these directly benefit women and cater to their interests. Suddenly the high probability of exploitation in an imbalanced relationship becomes a non existent issue. Suddenly we have to consider ''biology'' and become nature understanders

But if a man lets say is an older adult or middle aged and wants a beautiful young woman to have sex with or marry as a wife. Now suddenly hes a ''predator''(no proof whatsoever)

Now we have to look at ''power imbalance''

Now we get lectured about how ''evil'' power imbalances are blah blah blah blah

This is systematic misandry

Discrimination this young turks video sort of upsets me and i can explain.

I feel like this is bad for two specific reasons. First, they behaved like cave people who could not stand somebody having a different opinion than them and openly disliked a person because of it. Second, they assaulted someone smaller than them. Regardless of gender, the emphasis on and obsession with the victim being female, as though hitting a woman is somehow uniquely terrible compared to hitting a smaller man, a transgender person, or anyone else, really upsets me. If you want to talk about violence against women, that's one thing, but many of these same people likely ignore, excuse, or minimize violence against other groups. Of course I agree that this person should be in prison, but it is very obnoxious seeing people obsess over this incident as though it represents some entirely new low. Rucker, in particular, seems to be arguing that it is fundamentally worse to hit a woman simply because she is a woman. The whole thing does not sit well with me, and it exposes what I see as a broader lack of concern for male victims and, frankly, for victims in general. The treatment of transgender people is an example of this. The core problem is that many people never truly accepted transgender women as women in the first place, and that seems to be at the heart of why they face so much hostility and discrimination. I hope this edit works because, honestly, I do not understand this site in a lot of cases. After reading my comment back, I also think I should better explain a point that I did not make as well as I thought I did originally. My point is that the fundamental reason people hate transgender women so much has to do with the fact that they were born male in the first place, or are not seen as female by the people directing that hostility toward them. The act of identifying as female or trying to be female in some way seems to set off or ignite something that was already there to begin with. I think a lot of that hostility is tied to a broader lack of concern for males in this culture, and transgender women end up running directly into that because many people never accepted them as female in the first place. To me, that is really at the core of why they are so heavily hated and discriminated against.

General Woman Admits It's All About Revenge - "This is not a good time for men right now, and I'm Loving It"

291 Upvotes

This is the first time I think Emily completely missed the real point, so ignore her commentary. The real story here is this woman gets off on the fact that men are hurting, the blatant hostility she shows towards men, that's the story here. Certainly not all women are this bad, as low a bar as that is. Whether or not men are objectified is not the main issue at hand. By the way ""Catching a print" is a viral slang term and TikTok trend that means looking at the outline or bulge of a man's crotch through his pants to size up or estimate the dimensions of his manhood." Here's the video, a youtube short.
