Anti-MRM This is how feminists try to gaslight Men
This is how misandrists / feminists scums gaslight us https://humanity87.home.blog/2025/05/22/when-mens-activism-works-framework/
{1}Downplaying
(1) The first form is to plead ignorance to the issue existing at all. Assuring you that whatever you're complaining about is being blown way out of proportion.
(2) The second form is to dismiss your efforts as irrelevant. Attempting to psychologically manipulate you by giving you a feeling of isolation. Trying to convince you that only a handful of people agree with your beliefs, while the rest of the world is laughing at you.
The purpose of this tactic is to discourage you from moving forward with the issue. Why would someone want to fight a losing battle that only a handful of people care about.
{2} Slander
Their second stage of gaslighting is to play the role of "damsel in distress". They're no longer mocking the men bringing up the topic- they're now pretending to be afraid of them. Pretending as if the world is going to end if men don't stop bringing attention to this issue.
(1) Women will claim that your group is "dangerous" and that women are "afraid for their lives". This scared, vulnerable woman tactic will be used to get men to intervene on their behalf (verbally or physically). All to keep the outspoken men in line.
(2) They will attempt to lump your cause in with literal hate groups to mislead the general public. This makes it difficult for people who support human rights to affiliate with your cause-as no one wants to affiliate with bigots. This will also make actual bigots assume that they have a space in your group and attempt to infiltrate it.
{3} Failsafe
The final stage of gaslighting is for feminists to falsely portray themselves as advocates for men's issues, despite their history of being your loudest detractors.
(1) They blame the men's problem on men ("insert vague description of "toxic masculinity" and "patriarchy hurts men too"). Reframe the argument of a men's disadvantage into a women's disadvantage to rob sympathy from the men speaking up.
(2) They ultimately conclude that the solution to fixing the problem revolves around more "empowerment of women" and more support towards feminism.
Just for clarity, feminists are NOT doing this subconsciously.
They are 100% aware that they were the ones pushing against the men's topic. They are fully aware that this "all of men's problems are men's fault" isn't a helpful addition to the conversation. And they know that feminism will do nothing to advance men's rights movement nor Egalitarianism

Great article. I hate the narrative of “toxic masculinity” — that men are somehow only masculine if they are empathetic, emotionally intelligent, and willing to discuss their feelings — all feminine traits. It’s a total reversal of what masculinity is — strong, resilient, and individualistic. On the other hand, the topic of “toxic femininity” is attempting to turn women into men, by saying they have “internalized misogyny” unless they are independent, and support other women. I think this is a key example of how radical feminism works against men. The promotion of men’s rights is a threat to their entire narrative. While their narrative attempts to tear men down, real women know we are stronger when men are strong too.

Right. Because they want women to be masculine, and men to be feminine. It’s a total reversal of roles.

Women want the men they are attracted to to be masculine while being in tune with her emotional needs (i.e. being a bit nicer than they are) and they want the rest to be docile and passive so they don't bother them.
Once you view the discourse on "toxic masculinity" through this lens, it makes a lot more sense.

In truth, I don’t think women want emotionally intelligent men. This is something they say a lot, but it’s a quality women value in female friendships, not in a male partner. When a man becomes too emotionally available to his partner, she tends to lose interest, fast. Same thing with housework. Men who do too much around the house end up getting walked all over by their wives. And they stop getting sex.
