so as we all know there’s been a rise in mass immigration, the country i live in has lot of male immigrants from afghanistan, pakistan and somalia. i’m a leftist and completely support immigration. i understand why they’re moving here. they deserve safety and stability. I’m also aware that them coming here helps their female relatives that were unable to leave the country. they work and send them money to survive back home.

I know the right loves to fearmonger all these crazy conspiracies about immigrants that just aren’t true. However, I’ve interacted with a lot of male immigrants and they are mostly extremely misogynistic. I’ve tried correcting things they say, but they don’t listen to me because I’m a woman. They just laugh at me.

I was also raped by a male immigrant. he also expressed being attracted to 14 year olds. I’m fully aware that the majority of violent crimes are committed by straight white men. But I can’t help but wonder if more crimes would be committed by immigrants if they weren’t afraid of being deported. also most violent crimes against women are committed by somebody that she already knows and immigrants don’t tend to know that many women. (at least all the ones i’ve encountered don’t. They stick to their communities which consist of just men) don’t get me wrong I definitely don’t think that immigrants would ever surpass the number of crimes committed by white men but I personally believe the amount of crimes they do commit would rise if they weren’t afraid of the consequences. some of them that i’ve spoken to genuinely don’t see the issue about how women are treated in Afghanistan.

what do you think can be done to try educate them and help them unlearn their misogyny? Misogynists are almost never gonna listen to a woman and it’s not like other men are any better or going to help them. i’ve even shown one guy the rape culture pyramid and he just told me it wasn’t true.

I’m also wondering as a feminist do you really feel comfortable with undocumented men? i don’t feel comfortable around ANY men so it’s kinda of just even more men to be uncomfortable around.

The entire world is so misogynistic that even if they did integrate into different communities, they would just be taken from a level 10 misogynist to a level 7. at best.

i’ve also seen some right wing men converting to islam so they can justify treating women like shit and try push their extremely misogynistic views onto other people. i had a muslim revert tell me im going to be beheaded for showing my hair and face (i was raised catholic then turned atheist) and I’m aware this is not what Islam actually pushes but rather the culture surrounding it.

am i in the wrong for being angry even more misogynistic men are moving here? is there something im over looking?

i would love to hear someone else’s thoughts!

eta: it’s also disheartening that as leftists we support them so much but they’re mostly very far right in their own beliefs.

This means that women can no longer be prosecuted for abortions at any stage of pregnancy, but abortions are still only legal until the gestation limit. Previously, women could sometimes be prosecuted for abortions under some circumstances under archaic laws like the Offences Against the Person Act 1861 and the Infant Life (Preservation) Act 1929.

The Lie Created To Strip Your Rights Online: 62 Million Men in a R*pe Academy. A viral CNN investigation is being used to promote dangerous new censorship laws, and to repeal Section 230. The far-Right is behind it, yet many Progressives support it. Don’t fall for it.

Taylor Lorenz and Kat Tenbarge - May 6, 2026. Here’s the full 56-minutes on YouTube: The Most Dangerous Lie on the Internet - Taylor Lorenz and Kat Tenbarge - May 6, 2026 (YouTube)

From the description:

In March, a CNN investigation into a "Global Academy" of 62 million men allegedly drugging and assaulting women broke the internet. But the most viral story of the year was built on a foundation of misleading statistics and bad journalism.

Journalist Kat Tenbarge joins me to debunk the "62 Million Men" narrative. We dig into how this story was used to manufacture consent for dangerous new censorship laws and who is actually behind the movement to repeal Section 230.

In this video, we cover:

* Why the "62 million" figure is a misleading traffic stat, not a count of criminals.

* The connection between CNN’s reporting and far-right Christian nationalist groups like Exodus Cry.

* How the "Global Academy" branding was manufactured from a single interview quote.

* The real-world harm of FOSTA-SESTA and why new "safety" bills like KOSA actually endanger victims.

* How mainstream media organizations lobby against free speech to protect their own business interests.

Don't let emotional propaganda dictate tech policy. We look at the systemic failures of the legal system and why villainizing platforms instead of perpetrators is a losing battle for women's rights. If you’ve seen the “62 million men” claim, you need to watch this.

Idk if this is gonna be a contreversial post or a " finally someone say it !" post.

As a woc, i have always been interested in intersectionality. The originales writing of it is great. What it has turn out is...very frustrating. And unfair.

Intersectionality was coined by Kimberlé Crenshaw specifically to describe what Black women experienced — invisible in white feminism AND invisible in Black male-led anti-racism movements. The tool was built to name a double erasure.

What happened next is worth examining. Intersectionality became widely adopted ( and not just for race and sex anymore ) but almost exclusively as a demand placed on feminist movements. Feminists must be intersectional. Feminists must account for race, class, disability, sexuality.

Fair enough. But the same demand is rarely placed with equal force on other movements. Anti-racist movements are not routinely required to demonstrate gender intersectionality before being taken seriously. Labor movements are not held to the same standard. A Black male activist who doesn't center gender analysis in his work faces a fraction of the scrutiny a white feminist faces for not centering race.

This is the irony: the concept designed to address women's erasure has been applied almost entirely as a mechanism to scrutinize feminist movements — while the movements that originally erased women continue to do so with considerably less accountability.

Real intersectionality would mean anti-racist movements are required( toom to reckon with the fact that women of color are oppressed both by racism AND by the men in their own communities. It would mean labor movements are required to address the unpaid domestic labor that makes all paid labor possible. It would mean every liberation movement is held to the same standard feminism is held to.

That's not what happened. What happened is that intersectionality became, in practice, a tool to police feminism while leaving other movements' blind spots largely intact.

To the women choosing themselves. To the people building chosen families. To the trans women mothering communities. To everyone redefining what care can look like. Happy Mother’s Day. 🤍

Not every woman wants to be a mother. Not every mother gives birth. Not every act of care looks the same. This Mother’s Day, we’re thinking about all the ways people nurture, protect, build, hold, teach, shelter, and love even when the world refuses to recognise it as “real” care.

Warning about a Male Fitness Influence in NYC

TW: SA

Hi everyone. I am trying to help out a friend who posted on r/Algeria a couple of days ago about getting SA'd by an Algerian male fitness influencer based in Brooklyn, NYC. Her handle is u/pieceofmyhistory and this was posted with her permission as her account got banned. Her r*pist's name is Fethi Addani, and he has a public instagram page with over 500k followers. She said that he initially did the nice guy routine and then he violently SA'd her. She tried to file a police report but the cops are useless as per usual. As desperately as I want to help her and make sure that this POS gets what he deserves, I live in Algeria and there's not much that I can do. Her account got banned after posting his name and getting a ton of harassement for it. I don't entirely believe that cancel culture has ever worked (not when the accused is a male at least) but I was hoping that people, especially people from NYC, know about this guy and what a monster he is and AT LEAST avoid him. We don't want this happening to any other woman. Ideally, justice should be served, and I was hoping that with more awareness and pressure the authorities can investigate this guy at least. Please spread the word however you can, and let other women in NYC know about this degenerate creep. Thanks.

I recently attended an all women’s event where the topic of women’s clothing choices came up. One woman shared that her 25-year old son told her that he “can’t even leave the house” without having “sexual fantasies about women all around him,” and that it’s “agitating” 😫

I reminded her that all humans experience agitation and part of being a civilized human means regulating our feelings rather than expecting others to accommodate them, which she agreed with. But the word “agitated” kept sitting with me and I finally realized why it felt so unnerving.

His reaction obviously doesn’t exist in a vacuum and reflects a broader pattern: society centers men’s comfort while expecting women to accommodate it. Positing women’s clothing as the cause of men feeling “agitated” shifts responsibility away from the individual and onto women simply existing in public.

Sure, attraction is human, but managing it is a basic expectation of adulthood. We don’t excuse other emotions like anger or jealousy by demanding others change, and sexual desire shouldn’t be treated differently.

I realized that describing himself as “agitated” at not being able to act on those feelings points to a sense of entitlement society handed him: the idea that discomfort arises because access to women’s bodies is being denied, rather than recognizing that no one is owed that access.

The standard itself is also unstable and historically contingent. What’s considered “too revealing” has always shifted, as there was a time when showing an ankle was scandalous, and when women first wore bikinis, they were policed or even arrested until widespread adoption normalized it. Men fantasize about, harass, and assault women in burqas or sweatpants and children, and even the oft-quoted phrase parroted at women to “leave something to the imagination” cites “appropriateness” to cater to men’s fantasies in a socially-acceptable way.

That moving goalpost reveals the issue isn’t objective modesty, but ongoing attempts to regulate women’s bodies based on subjective male reactions.

She later argued that men have different “hormones and biological needs,” and I responded that in the hierarchy of basic human needs, hunger trumps all else, and yet, when I’m extremely hungry and see someone else’s plate of delicious-looking food, I a) understand that it’s not mine, and b) don’t demand that the other diner cover it in my presence lest I be “agitated” at the sight of it. Servers work with food all day, often while extremely hungry. But part of being human is that ability to choose, that responsibility to regulate and mitigate whatever it is we’re feeling.

And furthermore, if men’s base impulses really mean that they are walking around “agitated” that women’s bodies don’t solely exist for their sexual pleasure, then maybe the conversation we need to be having is about managing men’s freedom in public.

A functional society depends on self-regulation and mutual respect, not restricting women’s autonomy to preempt men’s feelings.

Hi there. First of all, I myself am a feminist, but that does not mean I stand for Pseudo Feminism. Feminism at its core advocates for the equality of both men and women, and its primary focus is women obtaining the same rights that men enjoy. I have seen a lot of people that twist this definition to their benefit and misuse it for wrong things. These people add both patriarchial and matriarchial principles selfishly for their benefits alone. These kinds of people do not acknowledge their fault and use feminism as a masquerade and excuse. These people are Pseudo Feminists.

Patriarchy was at its peak for the past few centuries and that has caused the brainwashing of the society. This has led to the inflexible and intolerant mindset when certain values, patriarchial or traditional are broken. Feminism in the 19th and 20th century led to the present day legal system which grants equal rights for both men and women. Men tend to receive all hate for patriarchy when it isn't completely their fault. The fault lies with the progenitors and the ones that support it in any form which includes women as well. Women also advocate for patriarchy in the namesake of traditional values and customs. Who amongst your parents advocates for a lot of patriarchial principles? Think about it. A lot of so-called feminists(Pseudo Feminists) say that all men are wrong and are the only perpetrators forgetting that their gender contributes as well.

It has become a trend for Pseudo Feminists to blame everything on men, thus taking zero responsibility for their actions. Everybody has to pay for their own karma, it cannot be redirected to somebody else. I went through a few of the posts in a certain subreddit and there were claims like all men benefit from the violent actions of men. How exactly, explain? Men benefit from men and get betrayed by men as well. If a man were to show his power to a woman in front of a lot of people in a daunting manner, then all of them, irrespective of their gender would have an innate sense of fear due to human psychology. Men are supposed to support some women financially and pay their bills but that is not to be expected of them and they go around advocating for equality in other aspects(P.S. The vice versa is very rare). The ideology that women cannot sexually harass or assault men is a classic example for the Pseudo Feminist mindset that a few Asian countries follow in their laws. The righteous and actual feminists never advocate for such kinds of things. The fault lies with Pseudo Feminists thinking they can have their way in the namesake of feminism as women. Where does this kind of hypocrisy come from? How can these women blame everything on men and then shamelessly follow some of the patriarchial principles that benefit them? And how can they call the opinions of men disgusting when they have such a filthy and disgusting mindset?

Men being silent doesn't mean that they are supporting the most overwhelming practice present in the society(patriarchy in this case). Most men just don't raise their voice even if they are wronged since they are not united unlike women who carry forward fully fledged protests in case of sexual or legal problems. Men do get sexually assaulted by women and no protests are made, neither by men nor by women or rarely do so. Most men are just not united and very very rarely protest specifically for gender biased injustice. Most women on the other hand, do not care if the problem does not concern them thus forgetting the true essence of feminism. I cannot blame them for this, since people only tend to care about themselves and few women do indeed seek justice for men. In this case, it is the fault of feminists(especially men but not exclusively men) to not seek justice against this problem.

I agree that women face more problems due to patriarchy than men do, but that does not justify revenge against men in the form of Pseudo Feminism as men are also victims. The entire gender of men is hated even when a tiny percentage of them commit crimes against women. Then should all women be unconditionally hated by men for the crimes that a tiny fraction of women commit? If you ask what crimes could women commit against men, then let me list them.

I have seen cases wherein a few women literally sexually assault a man with toys when he is unconscious and have photographic evidence of the same and even then the court rules out that assault to be playful and not harmful to the dignity of the man. Reverse the gender roles and see the public outrage with the same verdict. Would women be silent? Would they accept such nonsense? First of all would the judge even have an ounce of the courage shown against the man when dealing with the case of a woman. Would women be silent if a woman was sexually assaulted with toys while she was unconscious and the men had photographic evidence of the same? Would the judge even dare to cite the previous case and rule out the same verdict as it was just a playful prank and it did not harm the woman's dignity? Why wouldn't women support the man in this case where he has been assaulted but only support when the same happens to a woman? Why the double standards? This breaches the very essence of feminism which has equality as it's core principle and not just the benefit of a singular gender. Feminism advocates equal rights for both genders, not stripping away the existing rights of a gender.

I have seen extreme hate comments in videos wherein a few men bully a single girl and they start spouting nonsense like this is why all men are perpetrators, they must be castrated, etc. The men were not even bullying her in a sexual manner, it was a classic example of how high school students bully their fellow classmates. So, would these women accept if such abusive comments are made by men in a video wherein a few women bully a young man? They will start saying that the few women are the victims and the man was the assaulter. Where does this kind of hypocrisy come from?

Fake sexual assault cases, domestic violence cases, dowry cases, all of which can easily garner the attention and support of feminists regardless of the actually righteous side. In this case, feminists tend to just blindly support women and lead massive protests to actually punish the victim instead of the perpetrator. Even if the perpetrating woman is proven to falsely accuse the victim, they are released after administering mild if at all any punishment, while the victimized man suffers unjust lifelong abuse and criticism and hatred from the society for no reason at all. Even if the woman is proven to be guilty in this case, the vast majority of feminists do not lead any protests to convict her with severe punishment. False cases will only reduce if there is pressure from the society and if laws advocate for severe punishment in such cases.

The men that commit crimes against women generally follow patriarchy or Pseudo Feminism. The ideology that women should obey men arises from patriarchy. The right thing to do is to follow the person who is in the right. In some fields, women are not paid equivalent to their male counterparts despite sharing the same workload with the same efficiency. This disparity leads to the ostracization of women. Biologically, women are weak and are thus exploited and treated inferior to men. Even though the average woman is weaker than the average man, a lot of women are stronger than men and contribute to society with their strength. I believe that women are more intelligent and have more will power than most men by nature. People cannot be enslaved just because they are weak(physically or mentally). Women play a crucial part in this society and contribute heavily in almost all sectors. Women were granted equality only after suffering a lot in the past and are suffering even during the present. Women are equal in nature to men and nobody is inferior nor superior.

Some men have the mindset that their spouse or their girlfriend are their property and should not be seen by the public wearing skimpy clothes since they are only to be seen by them. Initially wearing skimpy clothes symbolized fighting against patriarchial values and now it has become a viral trend. All people have their own rights to wear whatever clothes they like. However, irrespective of their gender, people should wear their clothing appropriate to different settings(office, public meetings, college, etc)and according to their climate. Today, women(especially young women) have started wearing revealing and skimpy clothes just because of social media influencers rather than their own personal taste and just to show their rebelling phase to their parents and society. Skimpy clothes are common in the western society and are embedded with their culture, but that is not the case with second or third world countries. The essence of social media is such that it deeply affects our mindset and manipulates us against our own will. Even though there are women in such countries that wear such clothes because of their own preference, there are indeed others that wear such clothes just due to social media and to satisfy themselves by aggravating their parents. Wearing skimpy clothes in places that are hot is appropriate but that is not the case if it is worn in extremely cold places. Would it be appropriate if men wore a beach outfit in England? No, right. The reason is that clothes are meant to be worn according to the place and they have their own meanings in different settings. This is the same reason why it would be inappropriate for working women to wear skimpy clothes especially in formal office settings. Women and men are allowed to wear whatever they like in the society provided that they do not wear inappropriate clothes for formal and traditional settings(during festivals, pilgrimage, etc).

Humans never tend to accept their mistakes and start playing the blame game. I have seen a post with dangerous ideologies stating that all men are violent animals and that testosterone is poison. The solution as per their post is that all men should pay a monthly violence tax of 20 percent of their income. Will women be willing to accept such nonsense if the same statement was said against them? The point I am trying to make is that such women do exist. Both women and men commit crimes against each other and try to be at each other's throats by making such ragebaiting statements. Women claim that men feel that being innocent feels like an accomplishment for them. A vast majority of men do not commit crimes against women and neither talk about it like an accomplishment, the kind of men that you guys are referring to are the ones that are toxic by nature and either have patriarchial or Pseudo Feminist mindset. If you have met the kind of men mentioned in the above statement, then you have probably met with the worst control group of men. The punishment for male sexual offenders is heavy, especially in Asia and the middle east, while if the same assault was done by a woman, they receive almost no punishment at all.

Patriarchy is absolutely a system that must be abolished but so must be Pseudo Feminism. I might be hated for sharing my opinions on Pseudo Feminism, but I believe that it is necessary to bring up the problems faced by men and women due to Pseudo Feminism. Pseudo feminism is a form of Matriarchy that has crept its way under the guise of feminism. Unconditional hatred against men is the same as ignoring the significant half of all creatures on this planet that nature has bestowed us with. If half the population of all life on Earth were to be destroyed, then the world will be plunged into a hazardous state. The number of pollinators will reduce drastically, leading to a humongous decrease in the production of crops. The population of apex predators will drop leading to the increase in herbivores leading to higher crop consumption. In all cases, reproduction will stop, making a few species extinct which in turn will make the human species extinct, due to unfavourable conditions for living like starvation due to limited crop production, collapse of all managements and public operations, reduction in physical labour and increase in the duration of construction houses, dams, etc. Nature created men and women to be equal, not for them to desire the destruction of each other. Let's help each other out as much as possible to live a peaceful life void of worries.

Nothing can stop us if we are united as people irrespective of gender. Let's all unite to create a better future. Thanks for reading!

P.S. I WROTE THIS POST BECAUSE I SAW A LOT OF HATE CONTENT AGAINST MEN IN REDDIT. I KNOW THAT I WILL RECEIVE HATRED FROM PSEUDO FEMINISTS JUST FOR CALLING THEM OUT, BUT I DO NOT CARE AS LONG AS THIS POST HELPS PEOPLE ABANDON THEIR MISTAKES AND BRING EQUALITY. LET'S MAKE OUR WORLD MORE PEACEFUL AND POWERFUL THROUGH THE UNITY OF ALL THE GENDERS. LET PEACE BE TO ALL.

I wasn't even approved to post this in a few subreddits by the moderators. I do not understand how any of my content in this is even mildly aggravating. I am talking about ending bias for both genders and achieving equality and not just about the mistakes done by women but by men as well. I am literally frustrated due to the omnipresence of hypocrisy. I hope my original intentions in this post are conveyed and are not misinterpreted for their own convenience.

UPDATE: i loved the women Alex was 21 i was 11 what boy wouldn't i mean i got an er3ction so i did want it!

I am in college to become a SANE nurse advocate for female victims and male victims of men, but i i was lucky, everyone told me that, and i believe it.

not to sound dumb.

I also realize 8 years is long but alex and i are friends now i talked to her this morning, my friends and family don;t stop me, cuz i wanted it..i even said "alex please dont stop" while it happened.

At first i didnt want it and said no, but then it felt nice and i realized "dude your 11 and this is every boys dream stop complaining"

I DO AGREE WOMEN HAVE IT WORSE WITH SA AND ACTUALLY ONLY CALL MINE SA CUZ MY PARENTS DO! I ENJOYED IT AND GOT AN ER3CTION SO YEAH.....

Hi,

i recently came across a post about gender reversals and women getting lighter punishments. While the comment section on such videos shows most people are more angry with her as a women rather than if she were a man.

I was SA by a women (my babysitter at 11) and then got into a toxic and abusice relationship again when i was 18 (i am still 18) and in both times the Women in the case of the childhood one did not get rape charges and only got 8 years and no sex offender regisrtey even though it involved her forcing me to penetrate. While i see less online outrage. Statistics show Female Sexual Offenders are more likely to receive lighter sentences and often don't have to register for the sex offender list.

I also notice for my case my SA was treated by men and many women as "a rite of pasage" and "I got lucky" or "He got hard so he wanted it!"

The NOW has explicitly condemed Male on Female rape. but to my knowledge little to nothing has been done for the Male Victims of Female rapists who often have to face social stigma and the fact their rapist won't get the same punishment men do!

So i wonder

Why does society often give lighter if any punishments to FEMALE predators

feminism is about protecting EVERYONE from sexual violence so i thought I'd ask.

A man's reaction to me telling him to not send overly sexual videos multiple times a day for multiple days

We barely know eachother. We talked briefly about hooking up, nothing crazy, no sexting or anything. The conversation lasted maybe 10 minutes. This was his response to me asking him for a THIRD time to please not send videos

(all were sex related, one that disgusted me was a man pissing into a woman's hands shaped like a heart 🤢🤮)

I love how his thought process is "well everyone else who has low self esteem has no problem with it" "you need therapy because you arent immediately giving into my sexual deviance"

Recently, it seems as if we are reevaluating our approach to history, which moved from "look at this epic historical figure" to "are the actions of this person moral or should deserving of our praise?"

Which makes me question:

Why do we happen to divide the "female" gender from all the horrible actions directly taken by women?

  • Nazi women, like Irma Grese, known by prisoners as the "Hyena of Auschwitz because of her brutality.
  • 1300s Mongolian Khatuns (queens) who support and overlooked the mass rape and killing of countless women across Eurasia.
  • Martha Washington and the many other female slave owners who built empires of the back of slavery.
  • "Bloody Mary" (Mary I of England) who burning nearly 300 Protestants, including 56 women, at the stake between 1555 and 1558 to restore Catholicism.
  • Lynndie England: A U.S. Army soldier involved in the Abu Ghraib torture and prisoner abuse (2003–2004).
  • Pauline Nyiramasuhuko, who is minister during the Rwandan genocide, who encouraged rape and murder of other women.
  • Jiang Qing, Wife of Mao Zedong who helped drive ideological purges, persecution, and mass suffering.
  • Maria Licciardi who controlled a major Camorra clan in the 1990s, she ran prostitution, drug trafficking, and extortion networks.
  • Griselda Blanco, they made a Tv show about her, showing her going from an underdog that deals with sexism, to murdering little kids.
  • Cleopatra VII who was an inbred, disabled woman, last member of a colonial line, and killed her own brother.
  • And ofc the countless women who did not participate directly with horrible actions taken by men but still reaped the benefits from those same horrific actions, like Marie Antoinette.
  • Not to mention the 99% of women that have ever lived with internalized sexism, who reinforced patriarchal concepts and gender roles on both women and men.

Why when men induce violence in society we label it as patriarchy? and when women do, it's never taken seriously? Not to mention sexual violence taken by women.

Why does the same sexist filter that we have over history, which minimizes their vital role of women in building culture and collective thought also exempt them from their share of probably EQUAL levels of horrific actions taken by men?

We are more likely to trust women because they are suppose to be nurturing and vulnerable, etc; but that is just a social construct, as we have 0 scientific evidence for women being more submissive than men.

And I think that an answer like: "They were manipulated by men" is very disrespectful to women's anonymity across human history but also creates a perfect loop where women cannot see themselves as one of the "bad guys" in a historical context.
