Yeah that’s a good point but I’ve met a lot of women with this mindset and it’s really annoying to constantly hear about how bad men are and how they deserve things that they don’t deserve. It’s blatant sexism and in online communities more populated with women it spreads like a wildfire. Not only this but it also discredits actual issues which only makes issues like loneliness worse by further isolating men

Women are not to blame for the loneliness epidemic, a lot of people nowadays have less friends then they did 10 years ago. The struggle lies in a world where more technology and divisiveness causes people to be more isolated. People as a whole lack empathy nowadays or are more open about it

They aren’t to blame unless they perpetuate misconceptions and sexism. Every job I’ve been at there’s been women openly talking about how “men are stupid”, “men are horrible”, etc even when I’m standing right there. That’s a more professional setting. Online communities are much worse and a lot of the people who are online are lonely men and this only further degrades their mental health. My college yikyak page had posts talking about how all men on the campus are ugly with 50+ upvotes

I really appreciate the women who don’t do this but it just seems like sexism is running rampant amongst so many women and it goes completely unchecked and only makes men’s mental health significantly worse

You are doing the same thing. And side note: I’ve never met a single woman in person who talks about hating men. It might be the people you are around.

Obviously that’s my own experiences but stop viewing what is said on Yikyak as the end all be all.

your reality of it being very few men that are actually like that (cheaters etc) can drastically differ from other’s perspectives of feeling like it has been almost every single man they’ve known. i feel like everyone has different opinions on how awful the other gender is for certain reasons, so they voice their frustration or hatred to others.

women aren’t to blame for men’s loneliness. women will have opinions based on their experiences just as much as men will have opinions based on theirs. if it leads to harassment towards you specifically, definitely report it. from what you described, you have heard a lot of destructive labels about your gender coming from women at work+online and i do feel bad that you have experienced that, which led you to having a negative image on women. i think there is js a lot of hatred everywhere and

with enough self-worth, knowing who you are as a man, these comments won’t bother you as much anymore. okk i tried my best not to laugh when i read about the post on your college yikyak page bc that’s Wild and probably something i’d upvote thinking it was funny. but yea, not as fun from a guys pov and insulting. it’s def evil, but i still think having a lot of self-esteem will personally allow your mindset to think “yikes, couldn’t be me” about her take on ugly dudes. yk?

i see where you’re coming from now. i don’t register ugly as insulting as other words out there, so after switching perspectives w words that i’m hurt by, it’s a lot more offensive. my response to his last example lacked empathy and contradicted my thoughts on accountability.

i think i misinterpreted by trying to help solve a different issue (build enough confidence to reduce how triggering the hateful comments are) instead of acknowledging how unacceptable it was for the opinion to be posted on a public platform in the first place.
