  • Men are filthy because they're obsessed with sex and boobs (women are insanely obsessed with sex and boobs)
  • Men who think women are attractive or look at them are fundamentally pigs
  • Men are obsessed wirh looks to the point that we are to blame for women's continuous internal competition over mating displays and the surrounding industries (most realistic women will confess in a moment of truth that it's primarily other women perpetrating the worst of the bullying)
  • Men are abusive and women are victims. It is not possible for a woman to perpetrate abuse against a man or another woman. There has never been an instance of same-sex violence between women
  • All women are naturally trustworthy and of upstanding moral character
  • Men are by nature unfaithful (literally equal distribution of unfaithfulness among genders, it teeter-totters based on age groups with older women being particularly egregious)
  • Your purpose as a man on this Earth is to make a woman happy and produce children
  • The only profession that women should be are nurses or below, never doctors or scientists or engineers or anyone with credentials or career portability
  • A woman's job is to make her man happy when he comes home from making the money
  • if a woman is not servile and impeccable at all times, she is completely worthless
  • Everything about women is good, but as a man, you should never embody any of the traits which are considered feminine and you must never be sensitive or you're a f....ot
  • You are expected to have a giant penis, but if you do, shut the fuck up and tell no one. Also your penis is the worst evil on the planet
  • Most men are violent rapists who are looking for any excuse to harm a woman or child if they can get away with it
  • Every societal flaw is directly the result of the male gender, not the capitalists

    Yeah I was raised by a single mother and while not specifically told by her any of those points I internalized most of them (mind you, I opted for the word internalize and not believe on purpose). I think society as a whole tells that story, specially on mass media, and women seem to go with it knowing full well it is bullshit (I think it empowers them).

    But Reddit mods told me misandry fundamentally cannot exist and it is logically impossible to be sexist towards men while in a patriarchy

    So you're lying.

    It's not a battle of the sexes thing, nor an unreasonable Reddit experience thing; It is a series of lies that I was told as a child that were damaging to me. I am a man so it leans towards the men's perspective, but I tried to be fairly balanced because there were hideous things I was told about women too.

    I think all of those lies are harmful to both men and women, and everyone in between all non-binary too. Children, society. All poisonous ideas that were continuously railed into my head by men, women, leaders, school people, everyone in my life growing up. And so many of these sickening ideas persist to this day.
