To wonder why men hate women so much?

Violence againt women, sexual harrasment.

Controlling women bodies.

Women’s sexuality: frigid prude if you don’t want sex, slut if you.

Porn, sex ”work”.

All the MRA’s, mgtow, incels etc.

Even historically speaking they have no reason to be angry at women, women never had any power, mostly tried to accommodate to men’s demand/ wants, I think it still goes on.

Many women still tip toe the line to placate men.

What reason do they have to be so angry at women?

@entropynow

It is weird isn’t it? Like how is an incel even a thing? They have money for the computer or phone or whatever, they could literally pawn something they own and go out and rent a woman for sex (crass but true) yet they are “involuntary celibate”?
What kind of logic is that?

Its not a coincidence transwomen are often in conflict with women.

Some women find conflict with them

Usually a vocal minority of women using sites like this

Topgub · 07/08/2022 13:08

@Suetodo88

So you don't actually want equality then?

Men shouldn't have to give up or share power?

Women should just go away and leave them to it?

Fuck that shit.

Topgub · 07/08/2022 13:09

@VandyCan

Sometimes. Mostly with good reason

But most of the time it's TW /TRA thinking they deserve more rights than women do/their wants come first.

Its very familiar huh

Topgub · 07/08/2022 13:10

@Suetodo88

I dont think you understand what an incel is.

They dont want to pay for sex. They think they're owed it. Why would they pay for it?

Suetodo88 · 07/08/2022 13:11

@Topgub

I think if you see equality as men having to give up something they make for women your really just defining equality as men providing for women.

I think if we ever reach lasting equality it will come through women creating more for themselves, not for always wanting to be let into what men do or make - that’s not equality, it’s just using men really.

But maybe we can’t do that on an equal level? What happens then?

Who has ever asked for more rights?

They want parity

And to be treated as women

Which a vocal minority of women have issues with

Topgub · 07/08/2022 13:14

@VandyCan

Those who want the word woman erased seem to want more rights

How should they be treated like women?

How does thar work?

Actually do you know what, dont bother.

I'd really rather not turn another discussion about women into one about men who want to be women.

They have their own struggles but they're not mine

Incels don't want to pay for sex. They think women owe them sex - paying for it goes against their belief that they have a right to have sex with any woman they choose

YouAreNotBatman · 07/08/2022 13:17

Please, let’s not make this thread about transwomen.

They are less than percentage of to population.

And yes, I’m sure they have their problems, but women have suffered through out the history.

Go on, you've made the claim, time to back it up.

brookstar · 07/08/2022 13:22

l can' t relate to all men hate women, its a victim mentality, women are not hapless victims but this seems to be general concensus on here.

I think this is easy to say of you haven't seen or been on the receiving end of mens power over women.
It's not about being a hapless victim, it's knowing that men can (and do) kill women just for being women.

Lol, that is so weird. someone should make a comedy about it. Sounds like something that would star Will Ferrel and that curly headed guy that’s his stepbrother in that movie.

I really don't think you get how serious this is? Incels are dangerous.... not comedy.

@Sheepreallylikerichteabiscuits

The point I was making is if they create the workplace in the first place they’re entitled to want control of it. So it very much matters if they resent it as if they just refuse to let you take part (and if enough of them wanted to they could) that’s it.

So instead of just always wanting men to “budge up” and receive equality through asking (or demanding) to be given a place by them in what they’ve made, I really think it would be wiser for women to create more female workplaces etc.

I think it’s fine for men to have their own things so long as they don’t stop women from making things of their own too. I think we’re different. I don’t want my sons weighed down like that.

No one is making men who started their own companies give up part of it to women. No one. This is a scenario you have created in your head to force an agenda that men shouldn't have to allow equality to happen.

Topgub · 07/08/2022 13:27

@Suetodo88

What do you mean something they make?

Men currently make most of the rules. In order to get equality that has to change.

How do we change without men giving up the power?

Yeah I mean they keep going out there and shooting women (and sometimes men) but sure we should make a comedy about it. Is that before or after the comedy about terrorists.

Lets not forget that many countries consider incels to be violent extremist/hate groups. Perfect comedy material there.

CulturePigeon · 07/08/2022 13:28

When someone questioned Germaine Greer on exactly this topic - surely she was paranoid, exaggerating etc - she replied 'women have no idea how much men hate them'. I think she's right, and I'm happily married with a nice son and plenty of really lovely male friends/colleagues.

It's biologically hard-wired, and while we can mitigate its effects by education, example, legislation etc, I don't think we can eradicate it completely, or reach all strata of men. All we can really do is be wary and keep up the fight (as above - education etc). I don't see it changing.

I'm like (probably) a lot of women on MN. I know nice, civilised, considerate men who have never caused me any problems in real life. But sometimes I'm confronted with what an awful lot of men are like and it does chill my blood a bit. I'm afraid I think the veneer of civilisation for many people really is very thin and could easily be cast aside. Look at what happens in war scenarios.

Sorry to be so downbeat, but the more realistic we are about this, the better we can manage the situation.

Women are as guilty of being mysoginist as men

Women also say things like oh she was asking for it, they shut shame.

They say they worry their sons will be falsely accused of rape rather than worry they will rape.

This is internalised misogyny

Sheepreallylikerichteabiscuits · 07/08/2022 13:30

There are actual men's groups that are classified by governments as 'hate groups' incels being one of them. And the thing they hate - women.

There are no women's groups classed as hate groups because they hate men.

So if you need proof that some men hate women, governments have made it official.

Not all men but always men. Not all men but enough men.

tellmewhentheLangshiplandscoz · 07/08/2022 13:31

Reproductive transplants are already medically possible

It's not too much of a jump to think in 20-30 years time biological males will be able to give birth if they so wish.

////

You do realise gestation and birthing is much much more than a functioning womb?

It's hormones, muscle, skeletal make up, blood vessels. To name but a few.

But I love the use of "if they wish ". Think it would sum up nicely the arrogance and entitlement a man would need in abundance to think having a baby is just pop in the relevant bits you need and abracadabra pop out a baby 9 months later Confused

Incels as a group are not defined as a hate group by any government.

Some groups of incels are, but incels as a 'class' are not

ShirleyJackson · 07/08/2022 13:33

Because they’re scared shitless of us. We can grow an actual human, and bleed for a week without dying.

They have to control what they don’t understand.

Watchthesunrise · 07/08/2022 13:34

I think the desire for control is really much more about a deep fear and insecurity
