No, you don’t already know everything you need to know about men.
No, we don’t want to take your right to vote away.
No, we don’t care if you have an abortion.
No, we don’t care if you graduate in STEM field, like videogames, Star Wars or Mad Max.
No, we actually quite enjoy female protagonists in movies and games. We just don’t like bad movies and games.
No, testosterone doesn’t harm us and/or forces us to misbehave.
No, our masturbation content preferences is neither your concern nor your business.
No, we are not obsessed with virgin women as a “marriage material”.
No, we are not afraid of being married to a woman earning more than us. We are afraid though of being dumped by a woman because she earns more than us. No, this fear is not irrational.
No, we don’t magically benefit from the President’s genitals.
No, we don’t get paid more for the same work. Yes, we just work more.
No, we don’t magically get confident while walking alone at night. We get even LESS confident at night when in case of attack by a stranger we’ll have to protect not only ourselves, but also our mother, sister, wife, children or girlfriend.
No, we don’t always think about sex and/or always want sex.
No, we don’t like being raped by a woman. Even by unwanted enveloping of a penis. Even with a mouth. Even if she’s a skilled hottie. Even if her victim is a virgin. Even if said penis is erect. Even if the victim ejaculates in the process. No, it’s not extremely rare. No, it’s not somehow less bad than when it happens to a woman. At a certain point in history, it probably was. But not anymore.
No, we were not pumped with self-confidence since early childhood. In fact, many of us were raised by abusive single mothers.
No, we don’t like each other more than women.
No, we were not
raised to hate women.
No, we don’t feel bad if our employer, business owner, chief, officer, teacher or supervisor is a woman.
No, we don’t gain pleasure from seeing others suffering.
No, we don’t want to fuck all lesbians and kill all gay men.
No, we don’t want to fuck children.
No, we don’t want to rape you.
No, men don’t like being stalked by women. It actually creeps us out, but you won’t hear many men talk about it often. We either laugh it off as a way to cope, or we complain – only for feminists to downplay it.
No, circumcision is not “cutting off a flap of skin”. Seriously, do some research on how the procedure is done (and how many parents felt horrible about seeing their baby boys forced through that trauma without their consent).
No, feminists talking about “toxic masculinity” and how “the patriarchy also hurts men” is not drawing attention to men’s problems. It’s actually the opposite since it puts the blame on men, and depicts women as victims of gender roles anyway even when they are clearly perpetrating it. Not to mention, some of the practices reframed as being “due to the patriarchy” were initially put in place in the name of women’s rights; as is the case with parental custody laws and the treatment of female abusers.
No, misandrists using the #MasculinitySoFragile is not “addressing the problems men face”. That hashtag was created with the polar opposite purpose: mocking men for having gender-specific demands.
No, #KillAllMen is not “just a joke” nor “fighting the patriarchy”. Bringing down males who may be experiencing severe personal and professional problems, including mental illness, does nothing to help women in similar situations.
No, misandry does not just “hurt feelings”. Men have been physically assaulted and severely damaged by misandrists. A man has committed suicide just to draw attention to the total lack of support for battered men in Canada.
No, modern-day behaviors are not “backed by millennia of oppression”. If they were, you wouldn’t be seeing notable changes from one generation to another, but a much smoother transition spanning perhaps several centuries.
No, the people who say all these things aren’t simply “men” who “hate women”. Seriously, even the Men’s Rights Movement is represented by women; if you look them up, you’ll find out they have plenty of reasons to disagree with modern feminism.
