“A lot of women don’t want to acknowledge the views they hold are misogynistic and ALSO working against men’s mental health.”

I like to write about spooky stuff, including *EEK* politics, as well as various lifestyle and pop culture topics.

"This is the most important issue. All other issues are subservient to this. Men are not allowed to have struggles. Whenever I mention this, responses tend to fall into one of four categories:

1. Ridiculed ('Oh, you poor baby, life is so hard for you as a man').

2. Minimized ('You think you have it hard; you should try being...').

3. Denied ('You can't have such problems').

4. Vilified ('You are an asshole for thinking this')."

"Old dude was preparing for retirement and talked about wanting to be a crossing guard so he’d have a reason to keep a routine. One of the women in the office asked him why he wanted to be around kids, and it sounded weird to her. I could see his heart break into little pieces in real time."

"I have this issue with all things school-related. They even contacted our emergency contact before me, the parent, who is the primary contact. My wife has this problem with all things financial, though. Her insurance claim for her car wreck all went through me, loans and credit cards all call me, even when it is her primary vehicle, card, etc. So women have the same problem, but with finances."

"Just remember that the person that sees you as a threat isn't the problem. It's the person that looks like you and IS a threat that created that situation."

"I have had women use every single awful thing bad men say about female sexual assault victims about me, a man who was assaulted by a woman, including one woman who was also assaulted herself!"

"Also, in the event that no one saves you, there's a higher than not chance your statistic won't even make the news. 🤷"

"This is an underrated thing. We're supposed to simultaneously take 'no' to mean 'no' but also know when 'no' is a 'I want you to try harder.'"

"Not to mention the fact that no one minds if a woman wears a wig, but if a man wears one (or a toupee), then they get ridiculed."

"This. I hate it. Women can go to the beach and wear a one-piece, and nobody bats an eye, but try being a guy wearing a swim shirt at the indoor pool."

"Honest to god, you just have to hug your boys. I dunno if it's an East Coast thing, but I've taken it with me to keep it spreading, and I can see it metastasizing outwards in a growing sphere of brotherly love. Same thing with compliments. If one of your homies has a nice fit, fucking let him know."

"The first thing that comes to mind is that tweet that said, 'Men who don't body shame have big dick energy!' I feel like it has the right amount of sounding right while also being utterly incapable of considering what you're saying."
