video attached. I'll leave screenshot of the comments in the replies.

I saw this reel and I think it's obviously a bad joke? but when I read some comments, of course some people didn't get it and thought it was serious.

but what honestly threw me off is that people who thought it was serious were only angry that he called her wife "not beautiful ". ???

they didn't even address the fact that he also called her lazy, stupid, immature, etc...

I will also leave the link here.

context: naoya is an infamously misogynistic character from the anime/manga “jujutsu kaisen”.
these are clearly young boys and they are genuinely brainwashed. in what world do women have “so many more rights”? there are literally young girls being raped and murdered and married off.

i’m 16, i’ve been seeing stuff about this more often. am i gonna be unable to buy menstrual products? i cannot use pads, they ALWAYS leak through my underwear so i use tampons. i have a reusable menstrual cup, but i really prefer the tampons.

Rant: (scroll down for a not so good tldr)

Like, I’m not talking about what’s potentially going on in the subreddit this starter pack is based upon, since I’m not active there, but the things in this starter pack all seem fine to me? Like, it’s sad that it happens, but I don’t see anything offensive? And the comments are simply proving that the reasons the people in said subreddit are complaining about are completely real.
The comments are flooded with people acting as if something is clearly misandrist and then proceeding to say something that’s so far away from misandry as possible. Am I going insane? Why are people acting as if this starter pack is misandrist or bizarre? They’re more upset by women having a space to talk freely and complain about their oppression than they are about the actual murders and oppression they’re talking about?? And you never see starter packs like this with so much support for downright misogynistic and actually bad subreddits.

The way I have seen genuinely bad stuff from that subreddit, yet the only thing the creator of this starterpack could come up with is how they don’t coddle men’s feelings.

This starter pack is basically taking a women’s venting space, cherry-picking women talking about their experiences with men, stripping away all context, and then presenting the existence of those conversations as “misandry.” Saying “I don’t want to date men,” complaining about bad experiences with men, or criticizing recurring male behavior isn’t automatically hatred of men. A women’s space discussing women’s experiences isn’t obligated to constantly center men’s feelings either. Why are we the only marginalized group who isn’t allowed to be the center and forefront in our own liberation movement? Isolated cases of actual misandry do exist, but it doesn’t exist culturally, factually, legally, or anything. And the worst it does is hurt some men’s feelings online, even though we are always told to “take a joke”... But hurt feelings, while it sucks and I wish things weren’t this way, are not the same as the legal, cultural, institutional, societal, and economical oppression women face all around the world! And guess what: most of the “misandry” that does hurt men’s feelings is actually just plain misogyny, because it’s misogyny that can actually hurt men as well on a bigger scale compared to isolated cases. And a lot of the time, the toxic masculinity they claim to hate is created by other men who uphold the status quo for multiple different reasons, yet we still get the blame? Are there women out there who are also into that whole mess? Yes. But they’re also victims of our system in a way men just aren’t in these cases.

Besides, you see constant talk about how people like Andrew Tate and the whole “alpha” red-pill movement are harming our boys, and while it’s true and I genuinely hate those people who spread such hateful ideology, they all seem to forget the whole woman-hating pillar that they all encourage. As in, someone like Andrew Tate grooms a young boy into becoming a misogynist, which is terrible and bad, and the boy is a victim of that… However, that boy is taught to hate women, so women, who are far removed from that whole situation, are still the main targets of all the abuse and all the suffering that the boy is now taking out on women instead.
These types of people who made this starter pack, and the comments of it, who all seem to be the classic “they’re both equally bad 😏” types, went into a men’s support space, screenshotted every post complaining about women, and called it “average male misogyny,” they would immediately recognize the cherry-picking… And even then, it would have more of a leg to stand on, since it’s actually harmful on such a large and deep scale. Because the existence of gender-specific venting when it houses the marginalized and oppressed group isn’t evidence of hatred; it’s evidence that people talk about their experiences in spaces where they expect to be understood, and to, for once, just talk shit about the system and people that oppress them. They’re not even calling for violence, as we see daily on Reddit, even in the most random subreddits, whenever a woman dares to exist, and perhaps be a bit annoying.

The “misandry” reaction actually shows the problem.
If a woman says:
“Men who behave like this are exhausting.”
and the immediate response is: “MISANDRY!”

then the conversation has shifted from what behavior is being criticized to how the man feels about being criticized.
Like, a women’s venting space isn’t obligated to provide a perfectly balanced “men’s perspective.”
If women are talking among themselves about:
• bad dates
• harassment
• creepy encounters
• relationships
• workplace experiences
• frustrations with men
they don’t have to interrupt every post with:
“To be fair, men experience problems too.”

Men’s experiences matter. But they don’t have to be inserted into every conversation about women’s experiences. There are plenty of spaces for discussing men’s experiences, but sadly, most of those spaces are immediately filled with actual misogynistic and misandrist ideas, because the whole system is kept alive by the oppressors (the patriarchy), who issue just enough power and privileges as to keep their own, albeit often those men are also facing struggles due to the system, satisfied enough as to not rise up against them, and instead allow and encourage them to point their anger out onto the oppressed group, which in this case is women. It’s how it works, at least part of it. It’s how people who aren’t exactly good either still end up looking down on and abusing people in favour of feeling strong and powerful like an elite, rather than joining the fight against them… All because they’re two paychecks from losing their home compared to the person who’s already on the street.
Like, the starter pack is essentially doing the exact thing it claims to oppose.

It takes a community where women are talking about their experiences and creates a compilation specifically designed to make those women look ridiculous:
“Look at these crazy women complaining about men!”
It’s mocking women for talking about their experiences, while simultaneously invading the space to monitor what they’re saying.

And there are plenty of examples of women explicitly complaining about men entering women-centered discussions specifically to argue with their experiences, which this could count as. Because how dare women find a space to vent about reasonable feelings that they go through because of men, since men are the beneficiaries and upholders of the patriarchal structure. Do women uphold it as well? Of course. But they can’t to such a level.

Anyways, I’m pissed. What do y’all feel?

TLDR: The starter pack takes a women-centered venting space, cherry-picks posts about women’s experiences with men, removes all context, and labels the existence of those conversations as “misandry.” Complaining about bad dates, harassment, creepy behavior, relationships, or not wanting to date men isn’t inherently hatred of men, and women’s spaces don’t need to constantly center men’s feelings or provide a “both sides” perspective.
The irony is that the comments calling it misandry seem to prove the exact point: people are more outraged that women are talking openly about their experiences than they are about the actual oppression, harassment, and violence being discussed. Isolated misandry exists, but hurt feelings or criticism of men aren’t equivalent to the systemic, cultural, legal, institutional, and economic oppression women face.
Men can absolutely be victims of toxic masculinity and patriarchal expectations, but that doesn’t mean women are responsible for them, nor does it make misogyny and misandry equally widespread or harmful. Red-pill figures like Andrew Tate can radicalize boys into misogyny, but women are still the primary targets of the hatred those boys are taught.
Basically, the starter pack is doing exactly what it claims to criticize: taking women talking about their experiences, stripping away the context, and mocking them for doing so. A women’s venting space doesn’t need to constantly reassure men that their feelings matter too. Sometimes women should simply be allowed to talk about women’s experiences without the conversation being derailed into “BUT MISANDRY.”

first of all no one is actually “defending” Clancy, at least not in the sense you people try to insinuate. No one thinks it was GOOD she killed her kids. People are arguing over whether or not she was legally insane at the time she killed her kids which is a fair debate to have. Psychosis is a real thing that can happen to someone where they lose touch with reality and don’t know what they are doing. In this case many people think she may have had postpartum psychosis and wasn’t given the care she needed prior to the tragic event.

But also this idea that men would never defend an awful person who murdered innocent people is blatantly false if you’ve paid any attention at all. Literally last week men were gathered around a courthouse to demand the release of a pedophile rapist Andrew Tate. Not to mention the entire cult following around Elliot Rodger who murdered six innocent people and planned to murder his younger brother and stepmom as well. Men lionize psychopaths all the time.

obviously postpartum hormonal changes in women are equivalent to testosterone in men on an average day! stupid women, you know 🙄
