    Misandry exists and it’s a valid concern for a lot of men. To write it off and pretend it doesn’t is to feed more people into Peterson’s cult. That’s not to say that misogyny doesn’t exist either, not that it’s not as much of a problem. It’s not a competition on how much life sucks for a particular group of people. We’re all just trying to get through life however we can and everyone needs their own space. And so far 99% of men’s spaces are this sexist alpha male pigheaded bullshit. And everyone is so afraid of making another type because they’ll be labeled as more of the same. This is for just normal ass people who just need someone to talk to who understands what they’re going through. None of the Peterson bullshit. None of the misogyny. Just guys helping guys. And it’s telling that my first post saying “Peterson sucks” is very upvoted but my post saying “Peterson sucks, here’s an alternative for men that’s not sucky” is not

          you dint go through the same struggles as a woman they did. and alot of it, especially social media comes from a place of misogyny(accusing women of misandry, and im a guy too. i only ever seen it use as a deflection tool from thier ownself why they cant get with women.

          yes there are man-hating women out there, but im betting mysogynistic men far exceeds that.

          Specifically, no one is comparing them except you. It’s okay for two groups of people to have shitty experiences at once. It’s not a competition or a fight, I don’t understand why people keep trying to insist on making it a “one vs the other” thing.

            Really? Nobody compares them? Maybe not here, but… Seriously? Is this your first day on the internet?

              I can only speak for myself. If you’re trying to lay the entirety of the Internet’s behavior on a specific person or group of people then that’s a pretty shitty personal take that you can take personal responsibility for.

                You just said this though. How is this just speaking for yourself?

                  Would you like me to amend it to “No in this immediate conversation is comparing the two”? I figured you got that considering you said

                    Why are you getting so defensive about me pointing out the behavior of other people on the internet? Kind of a weird reaction.

        I didn’t claim misogyny didn’t exist, I explicitly confirmed it does. I didn’t say misandry was worse than misogyny, I said it wasn’t a competition between the two. Just because YOU don’t recognize it doesn’t mean that OTHER people don’t feel it’s effects. For you to come in and claim to tell other people that their experiences are invalid because you personally don’t believe in them is the height of narcissism
