My marriage is imploding and I have a nasty feeling that DH is caught in a MRA rabbit hole on the net. The things he's coming out with sound logical to him and without much thought sound logical too, but they are not. For example, all strategies to encourage women to advance in the workplace are inherently discriminatory towards men. It's too late to save the marriage now but I was wondering if anyone else had experienced this with the men in their lives and how you dealt with it.

I'm very sad that my lovely caring husband has turned into this bitter person.

Have you read "the men who hate women" by Laura Bates? It's a good look at the various online factions and the flaws in their logic.

I recommend it. The thing is, the arguments are usually based on flawed logic or outright false information. Any claims he makes eg "women do xyz more than men" ask to see the data he used to come to that conclusion.

If the marriage is already beyond repair get out ASAP.

And be aware that the divorce will be messy.

Fingers crossed you don’t have any sons for him to influence.

Cut off the Internet...... (impossible I know). He s being sucked into a cult. Tell him that and that parroting these views will cost him dearly.

Its already costing his marriage, especially as he has called me sexist. I wonder where this starts? It must begin somewhere and then I can see how he'd be sucked in. The algorithms are powerful.
