I am a married man, a father of a daughter and I absolutely agree with you on this, at least from a personal point of view. I've spent a whole three years damning myself for being so ignorant. although, in my defence, I understand men even less, their company makes me uncomfortable and most of them and their ways are…

First, SarahEmCee made a valid (if general) point and was met with "But not all men! Your life must be terrible if you genuinely think all men! Not all men!" And now you somehow read "they are all retrograde pro-life crazies" from "politicians who spend the majority of their time in office throwing up obstacles to…

I am as loud, confident, and feminist as they come, white, middle class, educated, well supported and all that jazz. I had only a small taste of what these women experienced but I still find it hard to say it out loud and I still took him back immediately. She's totally right, when the man you love, the man who hurt…

That is a great point. A woman annoyed at something a man said or did? Must be a man-hating, feminazi! A man rapes or kills a woman? Better not call him a misogynist, didn't you know more men than women are murdered??

#NotAllMenJustTheOverwhelmingVastMajority

I agree. Generally speaking, if you are married to a woman, and listen to her release her pent-up frustrations at the end of the work day, you will hear plenty about how male coworkers treat her, pay gaps despite same experience/skills/education, etc. It should cause enhanced awareness of sexism. And this all…

The title of his article alone is a warning that his article is bullshit. It's not that no one ever told you these things, but you willfully ignored topics about misogyny and women's rights.

I have many male relatives and friends whom I love and respect dearly. But very, very few of them care or think about women's issues at all and I find it extremely frustrating. There are always the exceptions, but again, it's very rare.

Why the fuck didn't he become a feminist after being born from his mother's womb? This is what I never understood about the "daughter makes me a feminist" logic. You have a mom; what's your fucking excuse for not treating women like people?

"It didn't always used to be this way. I used to only have sons. Things sure were different then. How merrily I used to drive down country lanes in my old Ford, periodically dodging off-road to mow down female pedestrians (you must remember I had no daughters then). Was what I did wrong? How was I to know? I had no…

Well, this guy hasn't snapped out of his cultural conditioning either.

Mallory Ortberg's response to the father of girls article on The Toast is amazing.

there are probably a lot of abused men out there that don't report the abuse out of shame or harassment.

I feel you; can't say I'm free of this considerations either.

Ha! My[36M] wife[35F] has had a lot of practice rolling her eyes recently, since I've started yelling out to her a couple times a week, "Hey, listen to this one!". I swear thou, it seems every post that includes "I trust him\her" really means, "I think my SO is a goddamn lying whore that will impale themselves upon\in…

It's much easier to pretend to care about breast cancer than for the NFL to take an honest look at domestic violence. It would mean a total rethinking of jock culture, which is pervasive down to the junior high/middle school level.

You know, after reading /r/relationships for the past couple of weeks (I don't know why, except that it's so damn fascinating) I'm inclined to believe that she is what she appears to be: A 18 to 27 year old nosy, previously burned, facebook creeper that has no qualms about going through her date's cell phone the first…

You're right, but I'm just profiling what seems to me a likelier scenario. One reason this might not be written by an MRA is that the ad didn't specify a minimum income. MRAs love to attribute venal interests to women.

I'm having such a hard time believing this comes from a woman and not an MRA-type guy. I would bet $5 that this profile was set up by an MRA to show that women are demanding asses, when, in fact, it's full of things that are of interest to MRA (number of sexual partners / purity, excessive beliefs in matching…

It's very simple. Never judge men badly, because #notallmen, but know better than to drink around men, and don't wear enticing clothes, but there's also no reason to be a prude, and catcalls are compliments unless they aren't, and don't ever provoke men, including by existing around an angry man b/c then you're…
