The bitterness goes away. My boys are doing OK with me, the divorce is a few years ago… but every second week I see a young man who has been admitted (I work on an acute psychiatry ward) after trying to kill himself after his relationship or marriage imploded.

You need to realize that the anger men are expressing in the manosphere is a consequence of the current situation. When you have just been dumped, left in despair, and ruined by a woman you tend to generalize.

But the other part of analyzing the situation is that the consequences to women and children are equally noxious. There is a fair number of people — including the Ladies of Traditional Christianity — who argue that the patriarchy was less damaging.

Where I disagree is that people want the anger censored. This would be OK if the anger and rage of women is also seen as shameful and unseemly. However, it is celebrated.  If women call me pigs, they can expect it back. In spades.

Finally, the men tend to, in my experience, call each other out when they start talking shit.  At times it gets ugly. Let it. For the alternative will be revolution, and neither of us will like that.

It’s good that you can stick to the facts and not succumb to an emotional rant against the female gender, which to me is just idiotic. You can’t hate everyone with a particular type of genitalia. We’re individuals and as such have very varied opinions and feelings. Just because the woman next door has similar genitalia doesn’t mean that we think alike or treat men the same way. I also believe that marriage has become a bit of a joke and I would support making divorce harder to obtain. People are getting divorced for the pettiest of reasons and they need to be sent a message that it’s not something to play with.

I would just say be careful about who you ally yourself with, because while you seem reasonable in your demands, there are many “men’s rights activists” out there who aren’t as reasonable and I’ve run into a few that truly DO hate women — not the system. And associating with those people could cause your ideas to be ignored, which wouldn’t be good.

But feminism is evil too, and breeds a lot of understandable hatred from men who may speak sharply online but could be decent men IRL. I’ve seen such anger from both sexes who lived at the hands of gross injustice from the other, and the worst part for them was seeing it justified; they’re now, often, without the ability to trust again. I disagree about racist laws not damaging the soul.
