"a socio-political mindset that encourages the hatred of men and the creation of what some would call Matriarchal society... belief that all men are bad
It is the complete opposite of Patriarchy in the sense.
What I see the most of today is a situation where men’s culture is constantly ridiculed and looked down upon, yet women’s culture is applauded and encouraged.
How many products are advertised to men with the only benefit being it will make your lady happy? Sure women’s magazines have those too ..where the opposite is written by women FOR men.
The problem is that the idea of a manly man or a traditionally masculine man is no longer present.
Another issue within our media is the portrayal of men as being the evil doers in the world. Shows like Law and Order portray in almost every case, men as being the sole persons responsible for sexual assault and domestic violence.
"my wife... if she wants to spend something at the store but knows it might be out of our budget, she asks if it's ok .. 90% of the time I don't really care, but, the 10% of the time.. depending on the amount I'll tell her no and give a reason. "
" because she KNOWS there's only 1 authority in the household and her husband has the last word period. She knows there a blessing in it for her."
" From the dawn of time, MEN here always and forever shall be made to have the last decision in households and governments. "
Japan has a very sexist culture anyhow, they see their women as second class. I can only imagine that the men who reject companionship with a women are making a "statement" rather then just "lowering" themselves to their basic need for love. And dont even mention those websites as sources, the guys on there are seriously nutty, no better than the hard-line feminists.
I would say that 85% of pregnancies are not planned and/or not wanted. The example you give is specific and donesn't apply. The facts (facts) are that women carry the child and are RESPONSIBLE for it for twenty years into the future. Not that men shouldn't have the same level of responsiblitity - the fact is they don't.
Throughout history - men have 'sown their seed' and then just left the woman to fend for herself and her child on her own and our modern society is no different. Marriage (for the upper classes) was supposed to address this issue through complex kinship resonsiblity rules and more but it never was meant for everyday people.
When it comes to day-to-day life - women always have to make the decisions about having and caring for a child. It an ideal world both parents would be involved throughout the life of a child but it is not the case for the majority and thinking it is does a huge disservice to children everywhere.

There is such a double standard between men and women that it is ridiculous. And it is not just a battle of the sexes. This same double standard exists between members of different races as well. To describe what I mean, do you think it would be okay for a white person to create a white entertainment channel, or form a group focused on the advancement of white people? The same philosophy is present between the two sexes as well. And what has happened to society is described well. I have always called it the nanny-state, and it is the result of women complaining about every little thing.
Have you noticed that when something happens that men would simply shrug off, there will be some woman out there who MUST make a big deal about it. Always. And this is exactly why masculinity has disappeared to a great degree in our society. I really enjoyed reading your post, and it is in line with what I myself believe. I even learned a great deal. Good job.
Would it be okay if a white person owned Black Entertainment Television, because Sumner Redstone has been the owner of BET for years.
Let's begin with OPs first about the media, etc. On THAT POINT, YOU ARE CORRECT. There IS yes, an agenda to dumb down men, HOWEVER, go back and re watch those movies and media depictions, they ALSO Over Sexualize women and children, as well as Dumb then down.
There IS a Masculinizing females on the whole media, but if you pay closer attention, it's not the Feminine via nature, Mother role that is Empowered, Hardly, it's the WHORE IMAGE that is empowered while depicting the men as dumb down sex craved idiots. Seriously just talking TV now, excluding reality shows. And I'm going to get into the Why here in bit, but shows like Kings and Queens and Raymond, two I can think of, sorry I didn't watch a lot of TV but what I do Remember, and from what I hear from others, etc., the Women are masculized WHICH, BTW IS A FORM OF MISOGYNY, because Feminine values, such as Nurture, Gentleness, Kindness, etc are NOT VALUED, but Aggression (not assertiveness but aggression), Bullying, Physical Strength, MARTYRDOM type of crap, aka the SUPERWOMAN, all of that, is a form of MYSOGYNY while Applauding the Weak AMORAL MALE,
Genesis, just to use as reference, terms then Serpent Seed, Using that as an analogy or metaphor, Serpents, hunt eggs and young, and they, male and female, are basically the same in nature. The DE GENDERING...is a SERPENT TRAIT. But now, Here's where many make their mistake...Misogyny, under a patriarchy, is Also the Serpent because it's about POWER and CONSUMPTION...the Anti thesis to LIFE.
Most men don't commit sexual crimes. Most men are wonderful husbands and fathers, brothers and friends, who would never consider raping anyone, much less an infant. What you've done here is paint a picture of "many" men that is totally inaccurate. It's misandry, pure and simple.
See MANY, NOT ALL BUT MANY MEN are sex ruled, without Morality restraints, many, not all but many would rape infants, even their own, IF there was no protection of infants, etc. Talking here about the most Debased of nature, the Agenda of these sex starved porn types, is the absolute removal of Anything CONSCIOUS or that would say, you need CONSENT. These types don't give a damn about consent, ONLY THEIR LUSTS,

And you know what i find even more hilarious, the fact your attacking me on the feminist issue and i didnt even bring it up. Guys like yourself are more concerned with feminism then women like myself who dont even identify with the modern stands of it. You must be scared.
You give off the impression you're absolutely #ting where the movement choose's to go next, clutching your manhood while mentally clinging to the conspiracy that women's rights were a big economical set up to screw over your average man. You just cant see past your own gender can you? Are you a socio path mate? Do you care only about yourself first and very little about every one else?
You should be gratful that im even bothering to reply to you, i can feel my I.Q dropping just reading your whining dribble on this thread about how much you hate feminism yada yada yada. How the hell have your genes even made to this day? Does your family have a history of duping women into carrying your genetics on?
Talk about breeding ignorance.

No, men are not being discriminated against by our culture at large.
Men control the media.
The heads of almost every media conglomerate are male.
Men control politics.
The vast majority of seats of political power in the United States are held by a males.
If sexism isn't the reason for this bias in a society that is roughly 50-50 male to female, then what accounts for these discrepancies?edit on 26-6-2013 by MichaelPMaccabee because: (no reason given)
“Anti Misandry is currently out of action for at least the next day (until 2pm GMT) due to an on-going cyber attack and exploit. We will be back in the near future once issues are deemed safe”
The majority of men were against it yet here we are?? Your question answered.
Yeah OK, if majority were against it the protest would have been dismantled and done with.
Why would i be scared of any thing feminine?
only problem is the feminism is so far up the justice's butt, they attack men thru unfair judicial system.
You just cant see past your own gender can you? Are you a socio path mate?Do you care only about yourself first and very little about every one else?
If modern feminist thought like this, we would not be having this conversation.
You should be gratful that im even bothering to reply to you?
Oh, im sorry, may i speak? so sorry for stepping on your feminist ego. Please don't go to the police, im sure they will arrest me whatever madeup reason you give them.
Does your family have a history of duping women into carrying your genetics on?
No, the reason im here is because my mom wasn't trying to competing with my dad to see who is the "man" of the house or the reason my parents are still together for 35 yrs, seen grandkids. My mom does not try to compete but she can shut my dad up with any arguments if she wants to.
I highly doubt you would have the chance to pass your genes(unless you find some feminized man to step on), maybe its a good thing.

I have a friend whose cousin married a Japanese business man. The guy my friend is American lives in America but is polish by birth. His cousin lives in Poland she went there it was a sort of arranged marriage they sort of knew each other, it lasted about a year or something, he said that she said that he was not giving her enough attention and was always away. So she left and went back to Poland were life was better. The definitions of better though would also surprise you. From what my friend said of when he went back there was that the place was a dump, and the main form of entertainment was the local coal mines, and getting stone drunk.
Japanese culture is different, in fact Japanese are different. I would not say that they are sexists, though someone like you would consider them so, and considering the kind of freaky and kinky # some parts of there culture is into I think some would consider them the aniti Christ. But in all if you ever went drinking with some of them Japanese people you would know that they work hard and party even harder, I think the normal Japanese business man does not even go home, they work, party, sleep in these spiffy hotels.
And then repeat the process all over again, if there looking for female company, well there way is a bit different. From what I heard the guy went home to his new wife at least once a week. Go figure eh! Women cant decide on what they want. But here is something to ponder, the definition of sexist changes from country to country and culture to culture, and not only by the men therein but by the women also.

Dude your freaking weird. Dont feed the trolls, believe me I know, it leads no were, I have been there, and been one. A troll that is. Its hard and thankless work but somebody has to do it. No wonder, you feminist types are so easily flustered your practically looking for a fight and the attention. One that you can win that is...And so.
Never mind me...Like totally, Carry on.
So you're rewriting history now to suit your wacko facts?
Good question, why are you scared of anything feminine? Maybe you just dont understand women and the basic fact that they are not second rate citizens who need to have a man's permission to live.
And yet, when i ask people like yourself what specifically has feminism done to men that is SO bad, i never get a clear answer.
"Its made men girly, breakdown of the family, burned my toast this morning"
Do you really think a women would have a problem finding a man to sleep with?
Hey Lucid, do you check under your bed at night before you sleep to make sure there's not a feminist hiding under there ready to steal your masculinity?
90% of all male sexual assault goes unreported, partially because society has pressured men in certain ways to be ashamed of such things. There are virtually NO help groups or anything for men who suffer sexual abuse.
