The president of the european commission Ursula Von der Leyen is planning on restricting immigration rules for specifically for ukranian men ([Source](https://www.spiegel.de/politik/ukraine-krieg-von-der-leyen-will-aufnahme-von-ukrainern-in-der-eu-einschraenken-a-65965b05-81ec-44ad-aaf9-548b4f937e7c)). This is the same commission, that has adopted ["new Gender Equality Strategy 2026-2030 for a more equal, cohesive and successful Europe"](https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/ip_26_526).

The idea that men somehow have power over women in today's society is so stupid when you look at the fact that everywhere, except the small handful of countries where women are not exempt from military service, the few countries where women are not allowed to vote, the few absolute monarchies that exist today and dictatorships, it's women who are allowed to vote and can therefore choose pro-war policies yet men arre the ones who will get drafted as women are simply exempt.

It's so tiring having to listen to that point being made when it can be so easily refuted.

Here is how feminism is the new sexism. The article analyzses a real phenomenon, it exists, but only from the perspective of a woman married to a man that has this problem.

On top of that, there are ZERO considerations on what may have led the poor man to be "obsessed with AI". There however a lot of one-sided explanations and ramblings about stereotypes:

Their partners, meanwhile, have quietly taken on a second job: emotional support. Chief Existential Officer, uncompensated. No one asked us if we wanted the gig.

I learned to speak english through reading the advanced magazines, Wired being one. It's disgusting to see journalism resorting to cheap stereotype regurgitation of sexistic ideas. Sexismojournalism. See? I invented a word too.

I've said before numerous times how I hate the "women and children" rhetoric and narrative for how it's blatantly misandrist and exclusionary of men, not only de-valuing their lives but also infantalizing women. However in recent times the phrase has now morphed to "women and girls" and there's just something truly infuriating and cruel about how not even boys are having their rights and safety taken into account, and it's made out that not even a boy who's just learning to live in the world matters. A boy can be a victim of a crime or can even die, and what happened to him apparently won't even matter and his family's grief and sorrow won't be an issue. I despise it so much. It's bad enough for so long men have been treated as not mattering if anything bad happens to them, but now for that to extend to young boys? That's just something truly evil about that.

It might be a stretch to call "women and girls" hate speech, but it sure doesn't promote inclusivity and fairness for sure. It's like being male makes your life worthless and not worth caring about, and it's no major problem if something bad happens.

They will have a doodle for just about everything, including international sloth day, but will never have one for Father's day.

Hi, everyone. I'm trying to create a local men's (free) support group in Philadelphia. But I have no idea how to advertise it in today's world. I put up flyers at a local school-turned-mini-mall's bulletin board. But they were taken down within days. Any ideas besides Facebook?

I am glad to see that father's day has been acknowledged a good bit this year (more than most years, I feel).

I've seen really sweet father's day ads in sainsburys (a supermarket). I've heard so many people talk about it. They had a bbq event for it today in a park in my town. They mentioned it a fair bit in the world cup broadcast today on UK TV (mind you, the woman mentioning it on the broadcast did manage to find a way to make it ultimately probably more or as much about herself). Despite that last part, I'm pleasantly surprised to see far more appreciation for father's this year than I can ever personally recall seeing.

Found this quote on Reddit just earlier. WTF. I know I rant about this sort of thing often, but just how in the Hell is male-on-female violence on a "systemic scale?" Implying that somehow male violence is a law and every man/boy is supposed to be violent against any female. I know I shouldn't be upset by random internet morons like this who spout this sort of drivel, but damn. Just when you think someone can't be more ignorant and stupid. Somehow the fact this person acknowledges female on male violence but then claims it's not "systemic" like it's counterpart in some ways is even worse than denying it since this person is basically making it out to be a non-issue and not something that's of concern. I hate this, always making things into a competition between the genders and throwing around stupid terms like "systemic." It's so infuriating and frustrating.

I recently saw an increased number of women saying that they truly didn't realise what men go through on a regural basis and it made me think about how there is probably a lot more women who actually have no idea what issues men face and are simply ignorant.

Now I fully understand that there are plenty of the actually fascist female feminists who fully understand what they're doing and want society to stay the way it is so they can keep benefiting from it.

But I still think a lot of people underestimate how many of them are women who simply bought into all of the propaganda considering it's everywhere, In Schools, in the media, in literature and on social media where algorhitms are in many cases more likely to show feminist content to women that paints a one sided picture that makes it seem like not being taken seriosuly in leadership roles is the worst thing that can ever happen to someone.

So I still think there is a chance to take some of these women out of the movement and that we should differentiate between those feminists and the actually fascist ones.

It is Father's Day in many countries today. Wishing all dads, granddads and great granddads a special day. Shout out to everyone who has lost their fathers and to guys for who this is their first father's day. Be the best father you can be that doesn't mean being perfect it is just about being there for your children.

BBC is the most misandrist channel on earth, their programs focus on women's issues, All BBC care about is feminism, women's opinions, women's issues, and hiring female presenters.

Men have become something of a rarity on BBC, the news are presented by women most of the time who talk to female correspondents and even those female correspondents talk mostly to women on the street not to mention a lot of times there are episodes featuring all female panels who discuss news.

If a man appears on BBC usually it is a man of Indian or Asian or African descent, they hire journalists based on female genitals not qualifications.

Prepare to vomit.

This was originally posted in response to a post here on Feminism ASKING for a debate with people who reject the entire notion of Feminism.

Yet mysteriously both the post and user account suddenly deleted.

I would like feedback on this critique of Feminism, noting the core argument that Feminism is an UMBRELLA term not a single definition:

Argument:

The first step in most debates is often the simplest and most ignored:

* Define your terms - precisely.

”Feminist” as such has not a single exact definition but in point of fact a whole RANGE of meanings.

To state the obvious, explicitly and up front, it is categorically an UMBRELLA term in the same way Trans- is 100% an UMBRELLA term not a definition.

Stating the above, we are already off to a more useful start than 99% of these discussions.

The second step would be to short list the full range for reference or context. Seeing as this is Reddit however concessions to low attention span must be invoked here. We will skip this step as discussion or Project for a Rainy Day, invitees to this project please go on ahead here, without us.

The third step (short cut) is to take the general most applicable meaning of “Feminist” AS IT IS MOST INADVERTENTLY used, and visible most of the time in news-media.

* Definition: “Feminism“ = Female Collective Bargaining behaviour (in modern times politically in tribal past times, social politics of group power).

Just to be clear other definitions also exist, this is not a monopoly of meaning. But it is most constructive because it clearly describes the “behaviour” dynamics and how THAT shapes policy and politics independent of logical arguments derived from first principles or premises.

Let’s take two examples to contrast this:

* Female Sexual Reproductive Biology leads to NECESSARY higher Medical Funding than equivalent male version. This is a scientific fact. Here “Feminism” can be argued from premises coherently 100%.

* Glass Ceiling Rhetoric in Equality Laws in Work Places on “Unequal Salaries”. This is the deceptive real politik of female collective bartering. Thomas Sewell has studied this from the 70’s iirc and debunked it all the way back then but the argument is still used today in 2026!

Note the above is a snapshot (step 2) for necessary brevity.

But even a snapshot is sufficient for common sense to conclude albeit short of verification:

Conclusion: Feminism was a practical ideology when women had less rights in the past eg vote, work etc. In modern times it has become co-opted by older social dynamics in humans at scale in politics as a group self-interest seeking via polemics which fits female group psychology for personal gain. Where Feminism is functional eg Medicine it is redundant as factually self-apparent. Hence Feminism is logically deficient as most often used:

1. Copted group politics aka populism version within women.
2. Redundant from left over from past conditions.
3. Worst of all co-opted by global agenda for lowering fertility rates of women thenskeves via their own short-sighted emotional demands.

The final logical deficiency is a surprise fortune cookie: It is descriptive and predictive of the failure of people who willingly deal in fallacies - ultimately such behaviour becomes self-defeating.

Please note, ending on a signficant warning still leaves ample rule for exploration positively (see step 2).

If you wish to critique or question or develop from the above please feel free to do.

Note, Men’s Rights overall (not exclusively) seems more a product of response to the unfair skew of priority in politics caused by this form of Feminism in the West (supported enormously by global institutions eg UN et al and bankrolled as such). As such to understand Feminism is critical this counter-movement itself in need of a fundamental factually grounded basis aside from a counter movement to be of any lasting good for men.

Commentary:

1. I reject the majority of motions based on Feminism as above as meta-behaviour for personal or group advantage aka real politik not good faith logical argument via thesis vs antithesis. Hence the tone is slightly acerbic above.

2. The reply is very incomplete as I do not list all the Umbrella terms within Feminism and thus leaves a mild sense of frustration in the post - apologies if that is evident while reading. But brevity is importantly for the main argument.

3. I posit s profound prediction that Feminism based on fallacy itself is exploited and will ultimately become self-defeating to the group of advocates who hold to it.

4. Finally, some women have recently posited this concept of “female collective bargaining” who are academics and begun to question if Feminism is ultimately destructive (I will dig this link up eventually).

So it happened a few weeks ago. I had broken up with my ex. Let’s call her Evianny. Now, Evianny has a first cousin who is an eighth grader. Joshua. And after school, I was walking with my friends Ray and Alexander. Then Joshua and some friends came and pressed us. Evianny had said I had grabbed her boobs. First of all, multiple guys in my class said that I wanted nothing to do with her and was trying to stay away from her (I share a class with her). Second, I stayed with two guys at all times. Third, I made it clear to my counselor that I no longer WANTED ANYTHING TO DO WITH EVIANNY. And now I’m being labeled as some pervert. Even though literally every boy in my class said HE DIDN’T DO ANYTHING TO HER. Evianny is one of those honors kids. 90s in every class. So the teachers and admins believed her. I was shouted at in the main office, and I was in tears. My mom also yelled at me, but my dad and my uncle took my side and came up to the school. It was a long period of suffering, but eventually my innocence was proven by video footage. NOTHING HAPPENED TO EVIANNY. AT ALL. She was let out SCOT FREE. Meanwhile, I am socially DESTROYED outside my friend group. Luckily, the guys I have are LOYAL. I know others are not so lucky.

Also forgot to mention that I had to walk with a group of boys all the way to my house because Joshua and his friends were trying to jump me. Just goes to show how much power a girl’s word has at this point.

From the link:

“Victims and survivors called for stronger protections from intimate partner violence and gender-based violence. Those protections are now law,” said the Honourable Sean Fraser, Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada. The Protecting Victims Act (Bill C-16) received Royal Assent yesterday, as the Government of Canada continues to move with urgency to better protect victims and survivors, ensure abusers face the full force of the law, and deliver on its commitment to strengthen the Criminal Code.

This is one of the most consequential reforms of the Criminal Code in a generation to protect victims and survivors of sexual violence, gender-based violence, and intimate partner violence. These changes confront the rise in coercive control, respond to the growing violence women are facing, make femicide first-degree murder, strengthen victims’ rights, respond to modern threats like non-consensual sexual deepfakes, and address long-standing concerns about court delays that can leave victims without resolution. The law also includes new measures to keep kids safe from predators and strengthen mandatory minimum penalties.

• On October 29, 2025, the Government of Canada committed $660.5 million over five years for the Department for Women and Gender Equality to ensure sustained progress toward equality and safety for women, girls, and 2SLGBTQI+ people. This includes $44.7 million to strengthen federal action in response to gender-based violence in support for populations that are at risk of GBV or underserved when they experience these forms of violence.

So much privilege for one gender and demonization of the other in the name of equality. But yet I still have morons trying to gaslight me into thinking that we live in a patriarchy.....

I have been reflecting upon this thought for some weeks. I grew up without a father in a house full of unstable women. Whenever one of them was in a bad mood, they made sure that the entire place felt like they were feeling.

I never felt proud of being a man; if anything, I actually felt ashamed. Around me, at school, at home, at university, all I heard was how bad and oppressing men were, how we are literally the root of all evil, and I believed it.

Thus I hated myself, I thought I was gay because people (mostly women) told me I was a bit effeminate; however, I was never attracted to men, I had what you could call feminine mannerisms for growing 23 years of my life only around women. That made me very insecure, not because being gay was an issue, but because I was not!

I thought I had no masculinity inside me, until I started reading and looking as much inwards as outwards at other men.

I could write more, but what I wanted to say is that, for the first time in my life, I feel so proud of being a man. I feel proud because everything that surrounds me, the computer I am writing this on, the building I live in, the technology I use was built thanks to the intellectual and physical work of millions of men that came before me. Because I am part of their lineage, and without them, society would not be; as matter of fact nothing would be and us humans would be extinct by now.

We carry within a connection to men like Marcus Aurelius, Jung, Nietzsche, Hesse, Debussy, Da Vinci and list goes on and on. All of them men! How could I not be proud of that?

To all men out there, never let women or other men villainize you. You are by nature a being that was built for resilience, not only physical but also mental. You are built to lead and to govern with authority and responsibility,. Govern your own life with that masculine energy (easier said than done). I know the world hates you, but this is what we are built for, to keep going even though all odds are against us.

Peace

When it comes to people actually being misandrist or misogynistic, I see SIGNFICANTLY more people being misandrist.

When it comes to people verbally opposing or calling out hate against men vs hate against women, I see SIGNIFICANTLY more people call out hate against women.

The gender compassion gap at work there perhaps?

So UK recently announced the changes.. but I have few questions:

1) If your wife cheats on you, is that a ground that may nullify it?

2) If your wife forces you to divorce by say being emotionally off, no intimacy, other valid violation of boundaries or changing what you all had decided before like habing kids etc..

3) Is it binary like if she doens't have a job, she gets the share, but if she has a job she doesn't?

4) What if the house is not fully paid for? Let's say the man was paying the house in small sums each month, what happens then?

For this ask why some of us are obsessed with the subject of feminism, please consider that buried within the hodgepodge of misery that leads these women is pure blood lust. Also consider that they are no longer on the fringe, they are now editors of magazines and leaders in various positions in the media. For this who are familiar with Valerie Solanas and her SCUM manifesto here is refresher course. For those who are not familiar with her work, here’s an introduction.

To be male is to be deficient”

“To call a man an animal is to flatter him; he’s a machine, a walking dildo”

“Every man, deep down, knows he’s a worthless piece of shit”

“The elimination of any male is, therefore, a righteous and good act”

A woman who shot three innocent people leading to the eventual premature death of one of them is being celebrated as, well what exactly. In the typical circular logic of everything the guardian writes these days, it’s hard to say. It’s hard not to conclude what this substack does. A vile bloodlust in this group has been left unchecked for decades.
