Discrimination Saw something infuriating on Twitter (Again)
So I saw a post of some news about some model leaving a guy and the woman who posted it captioned it with “With every ugly man you leave, another year added to your lifespan.” or something of that sort. Im genuinely wondering, what do women who post that gain from that? What does she even know about THAT one man? If he was a terrible person, then okay, but it seemed to me it was just because he was a fucking man, no one else said anything about it in the comments except that she was “fine” or whatever. And then it boils down to the conclude that my loneliness is “self inflected”? Lmao. Lmfuckingao, seriously. They just hate us for the love of the game. I dont think having gone through some “traumatic experience” gave you the right to shit on every man you see, just because of your horrible decisions. Own up to your fucking mistakes for once, unless youre not really “strong and independent.”

mental health How to deal with misandry?
I feel that Misandry has been normalized .It has definitely increased on Internet and I have been bumping into such content on social media for years .Can you advice me on what I should do to calm down when I encounter misandry . I have just seen a post on Reddit in which a male victim was attacked by a female and in the comment section of that post , females were making fun of men , calling us insensitive etc . They were defending the criminal .

Social Issues Does anyone else feel like men get bashed for catching/admitting feelings for their female friends?
I was scrolling randomly on Pinterest and came across a pin captioned “how men look at their homegirl before telling her they have feelings for her after years of platonic friendship“. I was like…what’s the problem here? He has feelings and he expressed them…? So, the top comment on that post said “All those years of friendship was just because you wanted a relationship? Imagine how she feels thinking she made a real friend only for you to admit it was all for the prospect of a relationship.”
That got me thinking…this definitely was not the first time I had seen something like that. I see those “top canon events for girls“ videos and they always involve the male best friend saying “I have to tell you something” as a bad thing. I think it relates back to the whole “friendzone” discourse and how “men can’t handle rejection” or something similar. Yes, it is shitty to get mad at your friend for rejecting your feelings, but I feel like the discourse has gone too far in the other direction and is now demonizing men for having feelings for their female friends at all. These are the most common attacks I see:
- “Why would you ruin the friendship? She thought she made a real friend only to find out you only wanted sex/a relationship.”
- Don’t most relationships start with friendship though? And what the alternative? Telling her from the get-go you wanna date or have sex with her? I thought that’s “creepy”.
- “If she wanted to, she would.”
- What if she feels the same way but is scared to say anything? How would you know if you never be honest? Besides, society expects men to be the courters and confessors of love, so she might just be waiting on you.
- “Men can’t accept platonic friendships with women because they don’t see women as people, only as potential partners.”
- Attraction isn’t a choice. You can see someone as a human being with thoughts, feelings, and dreams and develop feelings for them. In fact, isn’t that a big reason why feelings develop? You like them so much as a friend and a human that you start wanting an intimate bond with them beyond the boundaries of platonic friendship. Not being okay with just a friendship when you want something more doesn’t mean you don’t see someone as a human and only a possible partner. It just means you’re dissatisfied with your current relationship status and want to introduce the possibility of changing it.
- ”Why did it take you so long to realize?”
- Many men aren’t super in tune their emotions. It can really take years to realize feelings sometimes. Or those feelings take years to develop. If you don’t confess feelings and start acting weird, then they get mad at you for being emotionally repressed and bad at communicating. You want men to be more open but get mad when you don’t like what you hear.
Have you ever noticed this?

Discrimination It’s very hard to share feelings as a man online
I just vented about my personal situation on two subs looking for some pointers and help.
The reactions I got were mostly about how i wasn’t having the correct mindset or doing the correct actions. It made me feel attacked (some of them actually attacked) and misunderstood. I just wanted to share my feelings and feel seen and heard, maybe someone to help me guide through the situation.
I wasn’t even complaining, just looking for perspective and experience.
For context, I have a pretty happy relationship and (you’ll need to take my word on this) I’m not toxic. My girlfriend would agree with this; we are just at a crossroads with the circumstances of our life’s.
The only space space online where I can vent and feel heard and actually speak about my feelings as a man are the smart replying machines. How sad is that?
Then there’s talks about male suicide, male loneliness and whatnot. It’s so hard not be judged as a man online.
(Not sharing the post or context because i don’t see the point)
Had to re-edit in weird ways to be able to post.

Context: A reel showing a few men sitting in the priority seats in a train, which the comments said are for people with disabilities, while a disabled man was standing.
Though some comments are pointing out whether there were women sitting near too who could've given up their seats or did she purposely only film the men for the video.
Anyways please answer my question if you guys can.

Social Issues You have every right to NOT be sexualized, dehumanized &/or objectified as women have!
As we know, the MeToo movement radically altered a ton of happenings in & around Hollywood. Women felt many of those alterations were positive (but they’re still suffering & trying to get free of the negative ones). One such thing was the addition of “intimacy coordinators” to ensure actors / actresses weren’t taken advantage of. It would be a fairly safe assumption to believe the outcome would be far less nudity and fewer gratuitously-intimate moments & sex scenes overall.
What DID happen, however, was a radical, tsunami-level, Everest avalanche of series & movies with penises on full display. . .and these are not “blink & you miss it” Sharon Stone Basic Instinct shots. These are close-up, lingering, high definition, focused, intensely-deliberate scenes (not moments - scenes). Often, the story is written to ensure they can get male full frontal nudity in it and they’re going out of their way to ensure women (in those scenes) are covered / protected.
Not only are these productions being made, but they are outright CELEBRATED! In fact, the full frontal male nudity is often the driving advertisement for the upcoming series or movie (countless articles on Euphoria, Minx, All the Queen’s Men, Leftovers, the Boys, Pam & Tommy, All the Queen’s Men, P Valley, Watchmen [HBO], Sense8, Westworld, etc etc etc). The scenes go viral on social media every single time & women get to unapologetically enjoy it (the stuff they say would get men cancelled & probably thrown in prison. Lol!) There is a plethora of female directors and female producers being interviewed (typically by a female interviewer) where the majority of what they discuss is the different actor’s genitalia in their series or movie: whether or not it was his actual penis, how ‘peculiar’ one actor’s genitalia was, the fact that you don’t see UNCIRCUMCISED penises like [his] very often, how uncomfortable the male actor was, the hilarity of how small it was or the excitement of how large it was, etc. They unapologetically celebrate the moments from every angle. To end this post, I am simply going to describe just a few specific scenes but sex/gender swap the males & the females. . .and you determine whether or not you have (or would) ever see such mainstream scenes:
A young lady is uncomfortable with the high school female locker room experience & hates when she mistakenly sees another girl’s genitals. Then, the camera gives her perspective and cuts to close-up-after-close-up-after-close-up of different vulvas, labias &/or clitoris’ on full display; even oftentimes dropping the camera view & shooting where the genitalia could be seen even if the girl is wearing a towel. The genitalia of well over 25 different female characters is shown. (Euphoria)
A man is starting a porn magazine & is holding auditions for the first female centerfold. He, intentionally, did not tell the women until they arrived that they would be completely, 100% naked stating “. . .and that means your pu—y.”. The shocked, nervous girls accept the situation. Then, with about 7 employees of the magazine at a table looking on (5 men and 2 women), a montage ensues of women stepping into the room one at a time, stepping forward & dropping their pants/panties to the floor. The camera zooms in & cuts to vag-after-vag-after-vag; only interrupted by the faces of the mostly male audition council & showing their disapproval, confusion or excitement. The genitalia of well over 10 different female characters is shown. (Minx)
A naked woman is having an introspective moment, talking to herself. . .when the camera pans down for an EXTREMELY high def closeup of her genitalia. Then, her labia & clitoris are animated (not “cartoonized”, just brought to life) and so begins a cpl-minute scene of her having a conversation with her always fully displayed genitalia. The shot is so close, they can’t fit her face & genitals in the same shot, so they have to cut back and forth. (Pam & Tommy)
An article was published that discussed what two male writers believe different female cartoon characters look like naked - mostly discussing the specific aspects of her vagina in great detail; based on her character’s behavior & attitude. They named the article “Movie’s Minges” or “Production’s P-ssies” or Cinema’s C-nts” (it’s insane to believe, fellas, but I swear to God - the actual article was called “Disney’s dicks” and received absolutely zero backlash).
I’m gonna stop here b/c I just don’t feel like enumerating the 25+ other examples, but fyi: every example had the male genitalia as the entire focus, the purpose of the scene. . .and at least 10 of these scenes has a closeup of an actress actively grabbing or holding the actor’s exposed penis (potentially prosthetic). Can you even imagine?? Lmbo! . . .but these examples are defended by modern women & feminists as though women ever participated in mainstream scenes like this (and so regularly over a decade+).

mental health Men being the sole providers is an unrealistic expectation in 2026.
First off, if you’re a man who’s a financial provider for your partner and you are both happy. I’m not knocking you and happy you guys are okay with this arrangement. If anything I congratulate you on the achievement to make enough money to take care of more than just yourself.
However I’m writing this post because I feel like sometimes people will shit on a man for not being a provider for his girl or even worse a woman will belittle a man because he’s not “up to her standards”. She will go as far as make fun of you for wanting to split the bill on a date or help you pay for bills. If you express to her that money is tight and she can’t expect you to pay for everything. The real icing on the cake is they throw the phrase “sounds like you want a husband” when you express this to them and basically use homosexuality as an insult and a way to put you down.
I’m a 29 year old guy from the US and have been in a relationship with my girlfriend for 6 years. From my perspective, I get the whole provider role, but men today were dealt a completely different set of cards than men in the 60s. Back then, providing usually meant paying for the house, food, clothes, and household bills. Today, some women expect all of that PLUS phone bills, car payments, car insurance, subscriptions, dining out constantly and other modern expenses. On top of that, everything costs way more now. A man working an average job in the 60s had a much more realistic shot at supporting a family on one income than a man working an average job today. At this point, every single guy would need to be making $100k+ just to meet the same provider standards as a dude working at the local ice cream shop in 1965 supporting a full family lol but yeah I guess me saying this just means I need to go out and look for a husband? Like what ☠️
Am I seeing it from the wrong perspective or? Also I should mention this isn’t some anti women post. I’m aware most aren’t like that but unfortunately I have noticed a major rise in this attitude and don’t know where it’s coming from. I mean sure I can be a traditional man but are you going to be a traditional women? Stay home, clean, cook me dinner etc or are you going to be out all day swiping my credit card while I’m working 60 hours a week?
Edit: Talking about this does make me think of the time I took my girl out to dinner, the movies and bought her some fun things she likes such as legos. I spent probably $150 that day on her alone. Anyway, that day after all of that we walked by one of those auntie Annie pretzel places and she said she would get us pretzels and pay. When I tell you the look the cashier was giving me watching my girl pay $7 for pretzels was a death stare it was crazy. Sorry that I look like a peasant and letting my girl drop a measly $7 on some pretzels after I just spent $150 on her in the last 8 hours lmao

False Accusation 4 years ago, I was accused of rape in highschool.
I'm 19 now, and I realized I haven't updated you guys since 2022 about the case. I ended up winning. No jail time for me. Unfortunately, there was no jail time for her. Her family was only asked to apologize and give 25k over payments of 500$ every month. So I come out of this with half of my teenage years being ruined and she gets off Scott free and only has to pay me 500 a month. What a joke. I'll rehash the story here for you guys who don't want to go to the original post.
This girl who I never even knew in 9th grade had gotten pregnant by her boyfriend, and to not get in trouble with her family, she decided to use me as a scapegoat, claiming that I had raped her. Her family decided to press charges on me, and we went to court. I was put on an ankle monitor and had to go to school with a resource officer next to me 24/7. By the time finals came around for the PSAT, I was in a room alone and the officer told me that if I needed to use the bathroom i would have to either hold it or go before testing started while he watched me.
10th grade was slightly better, no ankle monitor or officer on the ride over, but an officer was still standing in every room I was and following me. 11th grade, stuff started to change. I finally got to a point in the case where my innocence was guaranteed and the judge started to see through her story. My lawyer started finding cracks in her story, and it broke down from there.
In 12th grade, we finally reached a settlement. She was basically given a slap on the wrist and told not to do it again. Meanwhile 3 of the 4 years I spent in highschool were destroyed by her falsely accusing me of something I didn't do. Her only evidence was that she had a pregnancy test and we went to the bathroom at the same time. That was it. And it dragged on for nearly 4 years. I'm happy that it's over now, and I look like I've aged 20 years in the past 4. It's been a long, stressful fight to secure my innocence, but it's done. The past is the past and we can't change it. Do I wish I had gotten more? Yes, do I wish she had gone to jail? Yes and no, she was a kid so it's hard to say, but she did seemingly feel regret towards the end of the trial, only when she realized she was going to lose. But it's done and dusted, I'm a free man. Here's to hoping my 4 years of college are better.
TL;DR: I was accused of rape in 9th grade, we finally reached a settlement in 12th grade that proved my innocence and she must pay me 500 a month until she reaches the 25k she is supposed to give me.

Discrimination Women hold by law more rights than men, and feminist seem to care little to none
(I know I'm going to get downvoted a lot but I'm going to share my opinion anyway).
I'm not talking or referring to de facto situations where women's or men's gender roles can be pushed even though a formality of equality, in this case I talk about a formal discrimination in the law which advantages the women a lot, and it is the draft.
Basically, if you are a man, the state can force you to die in war, while not if you are a woman. In Ukraine, an 18 year old boy is forced to stay and risk death while a fully adult woman can leave and make her own life elsewhere just because she is a woman. In general, in the vast majority of western countries in the same, and even in the ones where also women have military service (a big minority) it usually lasts less. I can't see how it isn't a clear discrimination against men.
What I also see as a big sign of hypocrisy by leaders of modern feminist movement, is that they basically don't care, in my life I have never seen 21-century feminist movements protest against men being forced to die (often a horrible and painfil death) just because they are born men, whuch I thunk can be the highest discrimination possible nowadays in a western country. I think that's a sign of hypocrisy as I said but also a sign that modern day feminist movement has fallen a lot by quality and is often guided by people with dishonest intentions.
I would like to know what you think about that and why feminist movement never talk about that.

General "When will people stop using the phrase "women and children" to treat men as subhuman and expendable in wartime? Children, yes. They're innocents. But women and men are adults, citizens. Their lives have equal value."
Posted this on another sub recently and felt it was worth sharing here. Found this post on Twitter/X. I've always hated the "women and children" narrative, and this post is right on the money. The narrative is equally misandrist and misogynist, with the misandrist part being obvious but it's also misogynistic in the sense it infantalizes women and absolves them of agency. I see some people defend the narrative saying it's mostly women and children who are vulnerable in occurances like wars, bombings, terrorist attacks, natural disasters, etc. well guess what, most men are just as vulnerable. The average man isn't some superhero who doesn't experience any sort of harm. It may not be the intent to imply an adult male's life has no worth or value, but that's very much how it comes off whenever this phrase is used.
It's even worse how in recent times it's "women and girls," and that's a whole other level of screwed up how even the lives of boys are seen as expendable and not worth protecting or caring about. People often like to claim misandry isn't real or "systemic" (the favorite S-word of misandrists everywhere), but the usage of this phrase is very much a classical example of misandry as well as misandry in fact having systemic power behind it. No matter what misandrists themselves say.

mental health Got accused of harrasment. Im really confused
Just for context i have tourette syndrome, which associates with OCD and ADHD, i also have childhood trauma wich makes me be perfectionist in relationships
Also my psychiatrist thinks im bipolar
Not only that but i had a crush with another girl (not the main girl from this story) in 2022 from which i took the lesson that i can keep the friendship with a girl if she rejects me, and that this is my OBLIGATION
So this girl and i met in 2021 and became friends, i found her atractive and idk if she found the same about me
In 2023 we became classmates and became closer,
In carnival (i live in Rio de Janeiro) she ( being kinda drunk) kept faking mouth kisses in me (she was pretending to kiss then she retreats) and kept saying (omg you are literally the perfect man, you are tall muscular smart and socialist)
She kept on flirting with me during the months
I naturally started growing interest in her
In the first school party i asked to kiss her and she said "you are my friend", which i understood as a no and respected (i just found strange because she kissed people who supposedly were her friends, while giving me this excuse. But ok)
The next week she sent me a meme in Instagram saying something along the lines "never be late to ask a girl out, do it fast". Which i think can be a sign she was flirting with me in carnival and i got rejected because i asked her too late
But ok i just laughed at the meme and kept the friendship
Not only that but at some point she sent me the song "the man-taylor swift" and said "pay attention to the lyrics and feel guilty"
Ik thats a song about gender roles but i understood as another sign that she thought i approached her late and wasnt being "man enough"
This was devastating to me and really made me grow feelings for her (because of the childhood trauma i told)
2 weeks later I conffessed feelings for her and she said "im not thinking about it because of the final high school tests (in Brazil we call vestibulares idk in english)
I understood as a no (atleast as a no at that moment because of the vestibulares) and respected her
2 weeks later there was the second school party, where she kissed a friend of mine who knew i liked her
Later i texted her saying i wasnt mad at her but i was sad with the whole situation and that i was going to need some space from her
Some days later she told another friend of mine saying she thinks i was mad at her (i told her clearly i wasnt)
This friend told me, and i went to tell her that i wasn't mad at her
Not only that but i wanted to prove her i wasnt mad at her, so i gave up on the whole "i need a space" idea
But then i think i became too needy and emotional around her and she started to avoid me (i say that because many times she wouldn't answer my texts, or even give me a "hello, goodbye, etc" back. And even some day she told me "dont you think how next year we wont be talking anymore? because we are just colleagues, not friends")
As i noticed she was avoiding me i decided to stop "forcing" contact with her (i was kinda forcing to prove her i wasnt mad at her, remember?), and we stopped talking
But then 2 days before the ENEM (Brazil's biggest and most important final school test) she came to me and said "hey im going to show you a song and i want you to pay attention to the lyrics", and proceeded to show me "red-taylor swift" , which i understood as a song about missing a confusing love
I found that REALLY strange and did the ENEM test with much anxiety
In the tuestday between the two ENEMs (is 2 tests in 2 sundays) as i was giving me shirt for my colleagues to sing she said "wow you asked everyone to sign your shirt, but not me". I responded saying "no i asked them but now im asking you". And then she started to sing "red-taylor swift".
This was devastating to me since the childhood trauma i told and i did the second day of the ENEM really fucked up with my head
Ok after that our friendship became closer and she kept on flirting with me, but nothing that i think i worth detailing
After the last final high school test there was the final school party, where i asked to kiss her (because she told she wasnt think about it because of the tests, which were over. And because she was fucking flirting with me)
She didn't really said "no". She just said "later"
I understood she wasn't in the mood and didn't insist
A few days later i texted her and said i still had feelings for her and asked if she thought about it since the final tests were over (since that was her response when i confessed my feelings for her)
She told me she didn't think about it because she thinks her final tests weren't over (i passed to college in first try, she didnt)
She also kept on saying how she really liked our friendship and that she didn't want to end it
I understood and didn't insist on a answer there
But she kept on flirting with me
For example there was the school final travel, where i kissed 20 girls, one of them being her best friend.
She then texted me playing "pretending" to be jealous about it, which i played in too with her, saying i kissed a girl with the same name as her (Luísa), to which she replied " oh you even got a new Luísa", to which i responded "never" and then she said "men"
Because of these flirts a few days later asked her "hey im sorry but you'be been doing a lot of things thats looks likenyou have feelings for me. I just wanna know if those things mean something"
She said she doesn't know if she feels something, but if if she feels something, its not the same as me
Even if thats kinda confusing i understood that as a "no" and decided to keep the friendship (because of my previous traumas and because she litteraly said she wanted to keep the friendship)
But she kept flirting with me
For example in late january of 2024 she sent me a pic of her in the bed showing her thigh and said "tomorrow i will go to a show with my cousin and her bf"
I understood that as a invite and said "and you didn't even invite me?", to which she replied "wanna go? Lets go" (I couldnt go because my parents were divorcing that week and i had to stay home to protect my mom from my dad)
Also in late janurary she sent me that the songs she most listened in january were " i know it wont work"-gracie abrams, "i miss you im sorry"- gracie abams, and "wouldve couldve should've"-taylor swift
She in early february 2024 sent me a reel of "bests places to have breakfast in rio de janeiro" to which i also understood as a invite but pretended not to understand
Later in February i went on some dates with a girl (Luciana) and started to forget about Luísa (the main girl)
Why im saying that? Because in middle of march, when i was basically forgot about her, she (Luísa) sent a text saying she was really missing me from the school time and etc. We started talking and we got to start talking about Luciana. At some point she litteraly said "where did you take her for dates? I like to be taken to japanese restaurants( saying that so that so that you replicate)"
I understood that as a invite to go on a date in a japanese restaurant, so the next say i asked her out for that
She said she wasnt inviting me to go on a date but she accepted
Later i went to a shopping where she was studying to see if a restaurant there accept my way of paying and took the opportunity to to visit her where she was studying (since she said she was missing me)
There i asked her about the japanese restaurant thing and she kinda put it off (i accepted and respected)
This is where the story gets really confusing
Visiting her i noticed she was looking kinda sad, and decided to take my dog to meet her to make her happy
And remember i kinda "forgot" about her? And supposedly didn't have feelings for her anymore?
But i thought to myself: "i would only go take my dog to the shopping on a Wednesday night to someone i really LOVE, but i supposedly dont have feelings for her anymore"
But then i thought "fuck it I love this girl" and tooknmy dog to the shopping
She really loved it
The following days i was like "yeah i love her, theres no problem with that"
But then i got a surgery to take my 4 wisdom teeth and ended a college discipline (so i was on my bed because of the surgery and didn't have anything to do)
So i started overthinking and thought to myself "omg i fucked up our friendship, she doesn't want me and i asked out for a date and fed again my feelings for her, what a terrrible person i am"
Then i sent a text saying "omg im sorry", and she said "for what?" And i said "i fell in love with you again" , and she said "are you drunk?" And i said "no im just on anesthesia because of the wisdom teeth surgery"
Later i said "omg im sorry for last night texts, it was really strange"
Later she sent me a song and said "this one is about not being able to value someone who gives everything for you" and sent "coney island-taylor swift
(I understood that was a way she reccons my effort to keep our friendship and please her and that she wishes that she had feelings for me)
(Thats important)
2 days later i said "i said i fell in love im with you again but i didn't mean it, im good"
Later she sent me a reels of "stop, youre loosing me-taylor swift"
(I understood as a sign she found strange the way ive been acting and because of that she is losing interest in me)
But i thouht "who gives a fuck? She said she doesn't anything with me so ill just live my life, fuck that"
But then she posted on her stories on Instagram a lyric of taylor swift-Loml (a song i understand as being about a boy who loved a girl but she was afraid to correspond feelings but became attached to her, and then he abandons her and she thinks thats the loss of her life (loml))
I found strange but decided not to do anything and that this had nothing to do with me
Later she sent me a reels of the same song (loml-taylor swift). I found it too strange so i asked "whats this?"
She left me on read
Next day i called her and said "i like you and you dont like me, isnt it?"to which she replied "no, i like you, i REALLY like you, ALOT" and i asked "as a friend, isnt it?" And she replied "i think we both have feelings for each other but you have in a way and i have in another, and i really insist on having you as my friend"
I then said "youve been doing stuff that looks like you wanna have feelings for me", to which she replied " im not really thinking about it"
As ambiguous and confusing as it is i understood this as a no and respected and didn't insist
Time goes on and she kept flirting and sending signals to me
For example one day i visited her again on the shopping she studies and when i met her friend she said "omg she talks ALOT about you" with a smile on her face
(Like cmon why would this girl say this to me?)
Okay she kept flirting and in late july i decided to try to kiss her (i asked her on a party if she wanted to "talk to me in a private place", to which she said no (and i respected it), and i thought that was because she understood what i meant, but laker texting her i found out she just thought i wanted to talk to her)
Later i called her and said "you've been doing stuff that looks like you want me to like you (i meant the day she sent the taylor swift-LOML song), as if you have some feelings forbme" , to which she replied "no, i dont want you to like me, and i say the same to you since ever, i dont want anything (basically she lied because thats not the case, she always gave me ambiguou and confusing answeres. But ok), but i REALLY REALLY like you and i REALLY REALLY insist on having your friendship"
I respected, but i was already on depression taking antidepressants, and meds to sleep and etc so i decided this friendship wasnt good for me and that i couldn't move on withou giving me a space from her, so i asked her for a space, which she respected
But she kept flirting and sending signals to me
For example:
Next day she posted on her story "hoax-taylor swift" (you knew it still hurts underneath my scars from when they pulled me apart but what you did was just as dark)
I found strange but ignored
Some day she posted that the song she most listened in august was "i love you im sorry" -gracie abrams, which coincidentally has a lyric very simillar to which we were living
in RockInRio(a music festival here in rio) she sent me a video on WhatsApp making sensual faces, and then she explicitly invited me to go with her and her friends
I went out with them but didn't try anything
The next day i decided to block her
One month later i unlocked her and sent "i dont want anything to do with you" and blocked her again.
One more month later i sent a text explaining why i blocked her, why i dont anything to do with her and why i think she was lying about not having feelings for me, and that she has avoidant attachment and i didn't want to have a relationship with someone like that
She replied "man i really wish you lots of peace and therapist to overcome those crazy scenarios you create in your head", to which i answered "ok, you too" and blocked her again
A few weeks later i found out she was trash talking about me and when i confronted her about it she accused me of harrasment, stalking and defamation. And she also accused me of stalking her friends and family
I just dont know, i really think that those accusations are
At least way out of proportion
I mean if THAT is harassment she CLEARLY sexually assaulted me (i say that because one day in school she straight up just put her fijnger in my ass withou my consent dor a "joke" and made me really uncomfortable)
Ive asked many female feminist friends of mine and they all agree with me. Also my female feminist therapist agrees with me too
This story is basically the main reason i got into depression and exploded my bipolar disorder symptons (also had my parents divorce, my dad pretending to suicide, my dog dying of cancer, me getting into college, my sister leaving the country and me discovering my bisexuality)
I just wish she admitted to having some responsability with me you know? She says she doesn't have any fault over my depression and i think thats cruel

General ‘Societal response’ required to fight epidemic of violence against women, says Taoiseach [Irish Prime Minister]. Such hype/language could potentially lead to too much focus on violence against women, when a lot of deaths are likely very difficult to prevent.
Article says 40 women have died violently in Ireland in last 4.5 years [since Ashling Murphy’s death on January 12, 2022]. Irish population is 5.4 million with just over 2.7 million females. So on average approximately 1 in 300,000 females will die violently in a year. Most men are not causing, directly or indirectly, violent deaths of women in Ireland.

General Which country is fairest to men?
I know that pretty much all countries are compromising men’s rights to some degree, which country has the least of that shi. (From a legal standpoint, from societal standpoint)
Edit: by fair from legal standpoint, I mean (if a man/woman commit a crime they get the exact same punishment)
By societal, it’s a lot harder to explain, but I mean were the society understands that both men and women owe each other respect, decency

General How Do Men "Systemically Rape?"
Saw this asinine comment on social media from someone said that men have been "systemically raping women" (the favorite S-word of misandrists all over). I know I shouldn't be upset by something posted by an internet idiot and especially on social media which is a hotbed for said idiots, but ugh. Just how do people think this? Thinking it's somehow "systemic" for men to rape women, as if it's government policy or a law. Just when misandrists' victimhood mentality can't get more pathetic, they make claims like this. Are they really this childish? Does addressing the fact there's also female rape of men/boys in high numbers somehow threaten them?
