mental health I had a female stalker
It was a coworker 30 years older than me who retired.
She had an obsession with me once I got a promotion from keeping track of what I do and when I call off. To being hostile and abusive about my work, to trying to get people against me.
She retired in May. I thought I was free! But she kept showing up at my place of employment. Her grandchildren work at the school at I maintain and would still park where I do (itβs a lot on the side of the school for staff only.)
She snuck in with delivery people instead of buzzing in. She was on camera looking in my office window. She would watch when I leave and park where I do.
Other times she happened to βjust be driving byβ when I do tasks at certain times. And asked me about work.
I found out sheβs asking teachers about me. I finally felt uncomfortable enough to report her.
I also caught driving past my house a few times.
I never felt so watched. I truly think she would be capable of harming me. She has violent tendencies.
If you think a female is stalking you take it seriously

Social Issues the entire concept of the modern male gender role is sort of obviously a scam in my opinion that even feminists at least claim to not be happy with either.
People often wonder why more men seem to be rejecting traditional male gender roles, but I think the answer is fairly obvious. From childhood, boys are frequently raised with the expectation that they will one day protect, provide for, and sacrifice themselves for others. They are told, either directly or indirectly, that they have responsibilities to society simply because they are male. At the same time, when a relatively small number of men abuse positions of power or authority, the blame often spreads to men as a group. Even many feminists acknowledge that powerful men have historically used their influence in harmful ways. To me, however, that demonstrates something about human nature more than it demonstrates something unique about men. Human beings are flawed and corruptible regardless of sex. Any group given enough power will eventually produce both good and bad actors.
There also seems to be a broader lack of concern for males that stems from traditional assumptions about what men are supposed to be. Society often treats males as naturally stronger, more resilient, and more capable of handling hardship. The problem is that these assumptions are frequently applied to all males regardless of the enormous differences that exist between individuals. Not every boy or man is physically strong, emotionally resilient, healthy, confident, or capable of carrying heavy burdens. Yet society often expects them to do so anyway.
I think evidence of this unequal concern can be seen very early in life. Circumcision is probably the most obvious example. Whatever one's position on the practice itself, the fact that it is widely accepted when performed on boys but viewed very differently when similar issues are discussed regarding girls raises questions about how seriously bodily autonomy is valued when males are involved. The fact that these conversations concern infants makes the contrast even more noticeable because babies have not yet developed the personalities, behaviors, or social differences that people later associate with men and women.
The more I look at modern gender roles, the more outdated they seem. We live in an age of advanced technology, modern medicine, and instant communication, yet many boys are still raised with expectations that they should eventually protect, provide for, and sacrifice themselves for others largely because they are male. As adults, they are then expected to continue carrying those obligations whether they freely chose them or not. At some point, it becomes less surprising that many men are rejecting these expectations and more surprising that so many people continue defending them.

Feminism Feminism doesn't become fair in third world countries. It becomes worse.
I have seen many people here or outside this subreddit claim that the only patriarchy to be fought where feminism might actually make sense anymore is in the middle east.
But let me tell you as an Egyptian, it is far worse.
Egypt is a semi-secular, semi-religious country. Its culture is heavily mixed. You got muslims, christians, jews, atheists all living together. One day you are feeling spiritual and connected to God during religious events and want to get married because adultery is a sin, tomorrow you are dancing with the boys in a night club and trying to flirt with the cute girl and invite her for a hookup. A hybrid culture that doesn't know what it wants nor knows what it is.
And that mixed mess produces many weird combos.
And one of its weird combos and the most dangerous i have seen so far was what I like to call patriarchal feminism. (Or as many already call it in Egypt, "Islamic feminism")
Egypt has no shortage of women who fully expect a traditional husband from A to Z, while expecting to be given a fully liberal lifestyle where she goes to work without a hijab, has male friends, works and spends her money on herself and only herself, shouldn't be judged for having a past, he doesn't ask her where she is going or why she is late, etc.
While the husband prepares and manages all the marriage resources by himself (house, bills, even doing the house chores) and is responsible for all the traditional roles of providing and protecting and being the sole breadwinner (even if she works, as her money is for herself while his money is for her and the house)
A hypocritical hybrid that seeks sharia when it provides benevolent sexism of old patriarchal norms, and secularism and civil laws when it provides freedom and lack of constraint.
And the law is heavily biased towards women just as much as in the US in family courts. You could have bought everything with your own money, and it still goes to the wife alongside alimony and child support. Especially as there is a tradition called "el aima" or "the list" where a man writes off the things he bought as his wife's to signal that he is a trustworthy partner. And that paper can be used later in court so the woman takes his stuff as hers
When a man cheats, cheating is haram and God will punish you!!!
When a woman cheats, everyone becomes a secular atheist operating from a "muh freedom!! Muh body muh choice!!!!" Moral principle
When it is a man, it is "God orders men to do X. Aren't you a man? Why are you not doing your job?"
When it is a woman, it is "leave women alone!!!! Women aren't to be ordered around!!!"
Muslims when it benefits them to be, atheists when it benefits them to be

General Being weak in the modern world is a privilege we cannot have
Weakness is something that can be exploited today. You can gain sympathy points, you can point at the negative experiences of your kin from past days to ask for special rights, and everybody is expected to the underdog's side. That's a social norm today.
This thing however, doesn't apply to us. I don't mind that men are expected to be strong. That's good. But nowadays it's artificially made hard for you to be strong. You are lied to and held back at every corner. It never ends.
We cannot say that "oh look how weak and oppressed gen Z is, give us scholarships". That's not in the realm of possible. If you're weak as a man, you can't get special treatment. You can only get especially bad treatment.

Activism/Support 2 different sexists (1 female, 1 male) were just ratioβd to oblivion OVERWHELMINGLY. . .by women.
On X (Twitter),
there was a significant buzz throughout my timeline on 2 specific posts:
1 was a man stating how all-male fraternities need to be forced to include female members b/c that is the ONLY way to keep that space from being evil & toxic & misogynistic & narcissistic & gRAPEy & all the usual, goofy, baseless attacks. It was also clear that all-female sororities should not have to follow suit in this regard, you know, βcuz man bad woman good.
The other was a woman who led her post with βWhen a woman says she didnβt consent, thatβs it. Case closed. The investigation is over ββ
The man has 10,000+ followers and only garnered 339 likes. . .along with nearly 1,000 comments. The woman has 5,500+ followers and only garnered 44 likes. . .along with nearly 500 comments. They both had more βquotesβ/βrepostsβ than likes as well. . .and those reposts were absolutely obliterating the them & their ignorance / hypocrisy. I searched thru a great number of them & there was an overwhelming percentage of women driving the convo & wrecking the OPβs ignorance. ((Hilariously, one woman trolled the female OP by claiming she was gRAPEd by HER. It got 23X the likes the OPβs post got. Then, abunch of others started saying the same thing. LMBO!))
The total likes from the original posts:
β under 400
The total likes (overwhelmingly from female posters):
β I stopped tabulating around 100k. The point was proven. A whole BUNCH of βem refused to actually quote or repost her official post, but simply screenshot it & created their own. The total numbers are probably much higher than what I listed. . .& that was a few hours ago.
Keep fighting the good fight, fellas! You are NOT crazy and you are NOT alone.

Social Issues How Collectivist ideology Exploit Male Sacrifice
The Distortion of Masculinity and Internalized Misandry
What is most grotesque today is how the concept of "masculinity" has been mutated into something that actively consumes a manβs own life.
A social structure that demands one sided sacrifice exclusively from men for abstract notions like "the nation," "tradition," or "the collective"βis an undeniable absurdity.
A far more severe issue than "internalized misogyny" is the deeply rooted "internalized misandry" within men themselves. Society constantly demands that men submit to collectivism.
The vast majority of men fail to recognize this, often championing the interests of the state over their own individual rights.
This stems from being brainwashed into believing that the entirely natural instinct to pursue one's own self-interest is a sin.
The Biological Reality Gene-Centric Selfishness vs. Collective Deception
Those who invoke "nature" to justify traditional male sacrifice fundamentally misunderstand biology.
In nature, male organisms do not live altruistic lives or sacrifice their evolutionary fitness for unrelated strangers or the illusion of a "collective." The male sex did not evolve for such a purpose unless belonging to a group yields a direct payoff or enhances individual fitness.
Why don't organisms sacrifice themselves for the abstract unit known as a "species"? Because in biology, the fundamental unit of natural selection is the individual and the gene.
An altruistic lineage that routinely sacrifices itself for non-kin would be swiftly exploited by free riders and driven to extinction.
Natural selection favors individuals that secure their own genetic interests.
Even if remaining females rebuild a population after a war, that holds zero genetic fitness value for the men who died.
To claim that a man should die for the group is ...not the logic of The Selfish Gene; it is pure, unadulterated collectivism disguised as biology.
The Factory Farm of Civilization and the Myth of the Past
Evaluating human worth strictly by productivity and cannon fodder capability treats people as little more than livestock stripped of autonomy.
The operational model of human society has long mirrored that of a factory farm.
Yet, humans are even more tragic than livestock: while animals fight and scream against slaughter, indoctrinated men walk into the slaughterhouse on their own two feet, blinded by "faith," "duty," and "honor." The most remarkably domesticated creature on Earth is man himself.
This is why I do not believe the pastβwhether dominated by conservative values or patriarchy was ever a utopia for men.
Whether back then or now, only the slogans have changed: from "breadwinner" to "patriotism." The underlying structure exploiting men as disposable labor and consumable shields has remained identical.
The Broken Social Contract and Modern Contradictions
Military conscription is the prime example of this systemic exploitation.
Modern society exhibits a despicable contradiction by cherry picking traditional gender roles whenever convenient.
Elements advantageous to women or the state are expanded in the name of "gender equality," while the burdensome duty of compulsory sacrifice imposed on men is retained under the guise of "tradition and physical differences." Historically, male political rights were secured through the blood price of military service and heavy labor.
Today, fully equal rights are granted to non conscripted demographics, while men alone retain the unilateral burden.
When the balance between duties and rights is fundamentally broken, it is no longer a social contract it is one sided state extortion.
What benefit does the survival of a state offer to an individual if it requires the total suppression of his self preservation?
So, that is what I want to say.
Feminist discourse actively draws not only upon socio cultural perspectives but also upon biological and naturalistic viewpoints to reinforce its claims. In contrast, such a multi faceted approach is rarely seen within the Men's Rights Movement.
Because human society and civilization have long been shaped by a deeply ingrained tendency to protect and revere women, confining our analysis strictly to human society makes it difficult to confront the true essence of gender constructs.
Dismissing the natural ecosystem as merely a 'realm of primitive beasts' is an intellectually lazy perspective. Much like feminist discourse, which gathers evidence from diverse domains, menβs rights discourse must also expand its horizon beyond human civilization. β Also, even within men's rights spaces, some argue that male sacrifice for "women, children, or the state" is an unavoidable biological duty. Compromising with such rhetoric achieves nothing.
It is merely foolish submission accepting the role of expendable fuel to run a system that offers no reciprocal benefit. Bearing the exclusive burden of collectivism is neither a "right" nor an "honor." It is deception.
If we truly desire freedom for men, we must stop venerating the past and fundamentally dissect and destroy the collectivist gaslighting that dominates our society.

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

Progress A Gender-Fair Discussion of Rape
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.

- Police officers

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

General Men need to learn to be more emotional with other men without the fear of being labeled gay
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:
- Kentucky
- Florida
- West Virginia
- Missouri
- Arizona
- Arkansas
- Mississippi
- Louisiana
This is a way to take action. Do it!
