I ask myself often; what is wrong with men?

SleepingStandingUp · 15/04/2026 19:20

Just.... No words.

What I find scary about raising all boys is, my boys would never grow into men like that. But, wouldn't their mothers have said the same thing? My husband would never do that, but wouldn't those wives have said that same? Don't we all think that about our men? That ours never would. But then, so would those other women.

Ofcom told CNN its job was “not to tell platforms which specific content to take down” and that the “responsibility is on platforms to decide whether content is illegal.”

Huh?! That's like saying the responsibility's on bank robbers to decide whether withdrawals are illegal Hmm

Hopefully, after the publicity around what happened to Gisèle Pelicot, there will be more focus on preventing these men congregating on social media.

A question that's probably been asked for a 1000 years and more so in the last 100.

62 million in one month.

how?

thats not me doubting it, just shocked there’s that many ment interested, found it and brave enough to look

AngeloMysterioso · 17/04/2026 10:10

How is this not ALL OVER every news outlet, every website, everywhere? Were it not for instagram this would have passed me by completely and it was published three weeks ago

The internet knows no boundaries and for some is a gift that keeps giving.

Echobelly · 17/04/2026 10:36

The worst thing is some men's first response is 'Well actually It was 62 million visits, not individual users!'

Dude, that is still utterly horrifying, and that's really not the point here.

StrictlyCoffee · 17/04/2026 10:42

Horrific

AngeloMysterioso · 17/04/2026 11:34

And it turns out, that number rose to 81 million in March.

Missohnoyoubetterdont · 17/04/2026 17:15

Just came to see if there was a thread on this. Horrifying

canuckup · 17/04/2026 17:21

I am just so done with them

So, so done.

Give me a remote cottage, a dog and jigsaws.

No matter what we do, or what we say, they are simply never ever going to see us as real equal people and we need to live our lives accordingly.

I’ve always said I love my 3 year old boy endlessly, I would take a bullet for him, but I would never say ‘he would never’ about either him or DH as that would absolutely negate the lived experiences of virtually all women who are wrongly disbelieved

Devilsmommy · 17/04/2026 20:57

The internet has made it too easy for these men to congregate together and talk about this shit and I think it makes them feel so bold that they actually do go out and commit horrific crimes against women. It's disturbing quite how many seemingly normal men are complete rapey cunts under the surface

Missohnoyoubetterdont · 17/04/2026 21:00

I’m amazed this thread hasn’t got more traction. Or are we all just so immune to this shit now?

I think because the links don't work - one leads to a non existent X page (or maybe you need an account?) and one to a kind of PowerPoint presentation which seems to be a snippet of the news story perhaps.

I'm not sure many women want to do an internet search on the thread name - and perhaps people who didn't automatically assume it was a news story haven't clicked on the thread for that reason.

Beeswacks · 18/04/2026 09:50

I’m horrified at this.
Boys and men are influenced so much by those around them. It doesn’t matter how they’re raised, by secondary school their peers have much more influence than parents.
I always cringe at the MN mothers who say their boys would never, when the truth is they don’t know. Men behave very differently in groups than in the presence of the women in their lives. For most men away from their families rape jokes, porn, “locker room talk” are standard.

What astounds me is the number of women still with their head in the sand at how dysfunctional and inhumane so many men are. If women defended women like men defend men we wouldn’t have half the issues we have.

It’s the thread that’s not getting traction though, not the links within it? I rarely click on links in threads, some threads don’t have any, but can still have loads of responses.

TheDellsYoursongNsoul · 18/04/2026 09:56

I think there maybe another thread about this.
For all the info online to be had it's still a sewer for depravity that knows no bounds.
Every perversion under the sun catered for 🤮

dapsnotplimsolls · 18/04/2026 10:56

I assumed there'd be a thread on this but had to search for it! It's just appalling and I hope there are arrests as a result.

springvegetables · 18/04/2026 13:00

I am so so sick and fucking tired of men. And I am so so sick and tired of other men making excuses for the depravity men will sink to.

if you are a man and you aren’t calling others out for abusive behaviour then you’re part of the problem.

Not all men but always a man
