Hey, straight male here.

I read the "misandry general" thread after it capped out and really wanted to talk about it.

So, anti-misandry general here we go

Honestly, what these people are doing is twisted and terribly unfair. I can tell you, hand to God, I've never so much as spoken an ill word or tried to touch a woman out of turn. So, for me, reading this is terrifying. All my life I've lived and respected women, and, as you might expect from a straight person, my goal is to find one that loves and respects me just as much.

So, what y'all are talking about is, to me, the most terrifying thing possible. It's the literal definition of discrimination, oppression, and intolerance.

I get a gut wrenching feeling just thinking about it; the most precious people to me rejecting me and telling me how fucking horrible I am just for being borne with a penis.

What the hell do you want from me? I've made sure myself and everyone I associate myself with genuinely respect women and treat them chivalrously. I've been told my whole life what a terrible fucking oppressor I am and how I should be ashamed for all the things someone else's great grandfather did in 1900. I don't know what the actual douchebags are thinking, maybe that's what they've been made to believe woman want to be treated like, maybe they hear all this toxic shit in the air and think they are expected to be the villain, maybe they are actually evil. But that isn't me. And for any of you to say how terrible all men are because of your experience with one or a couple is disgusting, childish, and literal sexism.

I will not defend the improper acts of another man for a second. Some of the things a few of you have recounted are horrible, and I hope those man go to hell.

But what the fuck am I supposed to do? What are the respectful, kind, providing men supposed to do?

How is it fucking fair that DeQuan or Johnny Douchebag can act like fools and in return -I- get endlessly tormented for my gender and sexual orientation????

Remember what you are freaking talking about here. Men aren't a mysterious ruling class of evil tyrants, the patriarchy or whatever the fuck buzzword the media gives it this week.

We're 48% of the population. All of us, good or bad are thinking feeling human beings, and how they think of themselves is largely determined by what people and media tell them.


Maybe you should stop teaching men they're intrinsically fucking evil and worthless, and start teaching them how to be honorable again?
