So I’ve been coming across self proclaimed male content creators on my socials, and some of them claim to be anti red pill or reformed misogynist who are on a deconstruction journey. These men claim that their mission is to help young men deconstruct and understand women. However, at least according to me it doesn’t come off that way, a lot of them don’t have the demeanour of a person who’s trying to help young men deconstruct. They regurgitate feminists talking points, and down right shame men and criticise them and never seem to be engaging with them in good faith. It’s almost like they are talking at women and not talking to men, and I see a lot of women praising them in the comments section and saying things like “you’re allowed to start a podcast”. I’ve seen quite a few cases where men like this were exposed by their partners for being horrible people and downright abusive. It’s no secret that men are desperate for women’s attention, I saw a creator on TikTok who does OF talk about the amount of money she makes from men just wanting to be told by her that they matter, are loveable, how much she cares about them etc, and a part of me can’t help but think these so called feminists creators resort to creating content directed to women to get that same validation without paying and perhaps even attract a partner. In my view I think majority of them are not genuine, and speaking from personal experience I’ve had a friend who’s also a self proclaimed threaten to cut my other friend off for a misogynist comment, later on I found out that same friend used to send nudes to minors and who knows what else. So I was wondering if most women can see through this too and just choose to ignore it because these men , although not well intentioned are still raising awareness, or if it can still be tricky at times? Because surely these men must know that shaming any human being won’t win them over.
