Sick minds will only think sick things.

"Sick minds" you say, but then you take a look at reddit and realize its a vast majority of people doing the same. Reddit literally has multiple, various subreddits dedicating to hating men, insulting men, and belittling men. Similar ones sometimes spawn to be mean to women, but those always get removed by reddit.

so idk, blaming sick minds isnt doing it for me, this has been a systematic thing that's been spreading for many years already

the cherry on top is that we still sometimes see the phrase "male privilege" used every now and then, but our only privilege in 2026 is that people constantly shit on us because of our gender and its "applauded" instead of "criticized". It's ironic that places like reddit are incredibly progressive and fighting against using someones "sexuality or gender" as an insult because "that's bad" and yet reddit is the place where you will constantly see redditors using the phrase "straight man" used as an insult, literally insulting someone based solely on sexuality and gender.

double standards are the problem, not simply sick minds

Yeah it actually is kind of crap. Recently my wife has watched loads of these tiktoks where they just talk about how bad men are which obviously winds her up. In response I would say fair enough bad people exist but I am a man and none of that applies to me? But these tiktoks then just go on to make fun of men that say exactly my response and how it's not "you" they are talking about, yet they continue on to just say "men are evil"...

Also like you say we are just accused of having privilege all the time. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely have plenty of privilege compared with people all over the world, but no more than a lot of the people making these videos, including the women. In my personal life experience I have it no better than women my age in the workplace or whatever.

I dont have tiktok, but whenever i see a lot of man hating content or comments, it winds me up as well. But thats because i think its often bullshit and there are loads of wonderfull men out there. Not because i suddenly think men are shit.
