Umm, Men Are Also Vulnerable In War?

I saw an utterly ridiculous and infuriating comment where someone was criticizing the "women and children" rhetoric claiming it de-values and de-humanizes men (which is absolutely true), you had the usual misandrist garbage from misandrists chiming in saying how the phrase is mostly used in war-time. Claiming women and children are often targeted and used as human shields, blah blah blah (to say nothing of the fact many male soldiers are also killed or captured and either also used as shields or kept as POWs). This idiot then proceeds to say how women and children are trafficked by men, and of course ignoring the fact many men are also trafficked and there's women who traffickers. Unbelievable, misandrists always find a way to make everything a "women most affected" issue when both genders suffer and men also suffer as well. In warfare everybody is targeted, both combatants and civilians, and there's no doubt far more non-combatant men than ones who are soldiers. But of course misandrists only ever want to go on about the "women and children" and even only "women and girls," as UN Women did with their recent doozy of a post about how the war in Ukraine got "deadlier for women and girls." So it's a cakewalk for men and boys, now? Ugh.

I know I shouldn't let an internet idiot upset me like this, but damn. To think people this ignorant and hateful exist, and will still deny misandry being a real and serious problem.

How do I get arrested drinking on my couch alone?

So this is fucked up. I had some back injections and was in serious pain afterwards and the doctor wouldn’t prescribe pain meds. So I decided to drink to take the edge off. I had a few old fashioned’s and was intoxicated. My wife got home from work and got up to kiss her she smelled the booze on my breath and was instantly annoyed. I tried giving her a kiss and she pushed me away no big deal. I fall asleep and few hours later I wake up. My wife is in the kitchen and she tells me I have to leave. I told her she could leave that this is my home and she doesn’t dictate when I have to leave. Besides I’m intoxicated I don’t want a dui or public intoxication. We argue and she says that I’m so drunk she could have another guy down stairs and I wouldn’t know. She runs down stairs. I don’t follow and go out side the downstairs window to see if I see anything. She opens the curtain and starts waving the phone around it shows she called 911. So I call 911 and say I believe my wife is making a false allegation against me. The cops show up and ask me what happened I tell them. They go downstairs and question her. They come back up stairs and the first question they asked is why did I hit her. Using accusatory questions and I tell the cop to slow down the question isn’t why did I hit her , it’s did I hit her. I told him I did not hit her. He gets angry and keeps hammering away the same question. I tell him that we’re not going to get any where and if he’s going to accuse me of crime i didn’t commit I want my lawyer. I was instantly arrested for domestic battery. I was so damn confused on what happened. I bond out of jail my wife blew up my phone saying she didn’t say anything and i shouldn’t have been arrested. I don’t respond because of the no contact order. I read the affidavit and he arrested me for when I tried to kiss my wife allegedly when she pulled away it left a red mark on her face. Not even scratch no broken skin nothing. How in the fuck am I arrested for drinking on my couch? I am so dumbfounded and in disbelief that I was arrested. Also the cop didn’t mention there was 5.5-6 hours between her coming home from work and her calling the cops because I refused to leave my own home. How is this even legal?

"Misandrists center their worldview around all men being evil, and all evil being male. To see a man be kind and loving enrages them, because they see his loving nature as a challenge to their worldview." 🎯🔨

I’m 38M, want to get married, but the modern dating market feels completely impossible. Here is why.

I’m a 38-year-old guy, and at this point in my life, I genuinely want to get married and settle down. But looking at the reality of the dating scene today, it feels entirely out of reach.

Of course, there are always exceptions to the rule, but from what I see on the streets and online, the dating market is broken. Here is how it breaks down:

* **The Weight Issue:** A massive portion of the dating pool is overweight. I’ll be honest—I’m not in peak athletic shape myself, but I’m nowhere near as heavy as the average woman you run into on the market today. The lack of physical attraction makes it a non-starter.
* **The 30+ Crowd:** Most of the physically fit women who are actually open to settling down are 30 or older. At this stage, their fertility window is closing, and they’ve already spent their peak, most attractive years "finding themselves." As a man, it feels like you're expected to just accept the scraps left behind by "Chads" and "Tyrones" and be grateful for it. Beyond that humiliation, the actual number of children you can have is strictly limited because she spent her peak years doing stupid shit. Having children later in life is expensive, medically risky for both the woman and the child—why should a man have to shoulder all that extra risk?
* **The Younger, Fertile Crowd:** When you find a woman who is still in her peak fertile years, she often lacks modesty. She’s addicted to social media attention, dresses provocatively, and keeps a massive roster of guys in her inbox. She expects you to walk on eggshells and cater to her every whim—knowing she can replace you in a second. I already have enough stress and risk in my life; I don't need a high-liability relationship.
* **The Modest, Fit, and Fertile Exception:** On the rare occasion you find a young, fit, and modest woman, she wants to have it both ways. She expects to lead and control the relationship, but still demands that you play the traditional role—paying for everything, protecting her, and bringing high status to the table.
* **The Submissive Crowd:** Even if you find a woman who claims to be submissive, she will demand 100% emotional and sexual exclusivity (which carries massive legal and financial risks for a man today). Meanwhile, she insists on remaining financially independent so she doesn't have to carry any of the risk herself.

To be fair, it’s not *entirely* on women. There are plenty of men out there who just "play the field" and refuse to commit. But at the same time, women consistently choose these players over good men, rewarding that behavior and creating a vicious cycle that breeds more players.

# Addressing the "But You're 38" Counterargument

Before anyone jumps in the comments to say, "Well, you're old too," let's get something straight. Yes, I am 38, but my age does not limit my biological capacity to father healthy offspring. While male sperm does age, the associated risks of genetic disease do not scale anywhere near the steep risk curve that women face as they get older. Furthermore, I actually have the material means to provide for and support a family right now.

I’m not claiming to be a perfectly virtuous man, nor do I expect to find a perfectly virtuous woman. There are plenty of past mistakes and flaws I am willing to overlook and forgive in a partner. But if the fundamental *pursuit* of virtue isn't even there, there is absolutely no foundation to build on, and things will never improve.

# Conclusion: Better Off Alone

In this current landscape, it is honestly better to remain alone and childless. While that reality is sad, it is far less tragic than the alternative: entering a marriage where every single inch of you is exploited, leaving you to feel like a complete fool every single day you spend with your wife.

Look, I could easily choose to "play the field" myself. If I wanted to, I could go out and get plenty of sex and validation from women. But to what end? Just for a few cheap orgasms and a temporary escape from

loneliness? I refuse to pay for that with my soul.

We are completely cooked as a society. It’s no wonder fertility rates are plummeting across the West. Honestly, it feels like we are bound to be replaced by more traditional, patriarchal cultures. At this point, it just feels like nature healing itself.

Why Ukraine

Is being born as a male is a crime


Ukraine made a rule where male cannot leave but every other existing being could

Female - for no reasons, childrens - it makes sense

So why imagine a family where a father unfortunately has passed away

Family of 4

Mother fled away lol

2 more sisters - flee

Unfortunately 1 was happened to be a boy here - now what rot alone wow for just being born a guy which no one has control over.


I went to reddit to hear people opinion on this topic but some extremist dumb womens were commenting (not to mention these people aren't even human being they had 1 iq each and together combined maybe the formed 20 iq). So


1 one said men deserves it , you guys never cared about your family it is the women who takes care- what my father takes care of my family, he shares his self earned let alone hard earned money for everyone's not only need but for happiness too, that is taking care, while women take care domestically - because mostly mens are breadwinners they spend their time ensuring family have food and money for healthcare vacations and all, while woman takes care, but she said it like we as men deserves this hate becuase we never cared about our family wow


Another said unfortunately womans are much likely to be SA'D that's why they let them leave woow



Why this Ukraine, I know moderator gonna remove even this post from being posted

"The chivalry hypothesis/thesis" in criminology - has anyone heard of this?

I found out about this via messing about with AI - apparently, the idea that female criminals are viewed as less violent than male ones used to be called "the chivalry hypothesis/thesis," and there are books on it going back to the 1950s and 1920s:

Otto Pollak - The Criminality of Women (1950)

W.I. Thomas - The Unadjusted Girl (1923)

Cyril Burt - The Young Delinquent (1925)

Sheldon Glueck & Eleanor T. Glueck - Five Hundred Delinquent Women (1934) and later Unraveling Juvenile Delinquency (1950)

Mabel A. Elliott - Crime in Modern Society (1952)


Been a hardcore MRA for about 12 years and have never heard of this before.

AI is Used for Hiring - Study Shows it Discriminates Against Men

I've seen lots of posts here that say AI discriminates against men. And we all know AI is used in hiring these days. But this is the first post in this sub I know of that points out that AI carries over is anti-male bias into its hiring practices. The good news is, there are studies like this one that are pointing this out. Unlike lots of anti-male bias, this one is not being kept quiet.

Abstract. Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly deployed in hiring workflows, yet most research on gender bias in LLM hiring decisions has focused on English-language, Western-format resumes. This study examines whether pro-female gender bias extends to a Japanese corporate context and evaluates two practical mitigation strategies. Using a counterfactual resume design with 60 Japanese rirekisho-format resumes, 12 name pairs selected on linguistically grounded gender-signal criteria, and five state-of-the-art LLMs (Claude Sonnet 4.6, GPT-4o, DeepSeek-V3, Gemini 2.5 Flash, Llama 3.3 70B), we conducted 43,200 API calls across baseline, prompt instruction, and privacy filter conditions. A crossed random-effects linear mixed model confirms a significant pro-female bias across all five models, replicating Western findings in a non-Western context. A prompt-level gender-neutrality instruction produces no meaningful reduction in bias. A name-reliance analysis formally identifies the candidate name as the primary gender channel: removing the name from the prompt reduces the female effect by nearly its full magnitude. An unexpected incompatibility between the privacy filter and GPT-4o’s content safety filter ̶resulting in a 42% refusal rate ̶ highlights a practical deployment challenge for name anonymization in LLM-assisted recruitment pipelines.

Sexist Double Standards in Restroom Privacy

It's been said many times in this sub that women are allowed to barge into men's public restrooms but men are not allowed in women's restrooms. But apparently this double standard so so strong that it's difficult for a father to parent his young daughters.

Man takes his young daughters into an empty women's rest room to protect them from going into the men's room with him and gets a jerk who yells at him for being in an empty women's room and calls the cops on the father. The good news is the jerk lost his job over this and most, but not all, comments defend the father. So there is good and bad here. One comment said he in that situation let his daughters go in alone, and a woman chided him for doing so. He said damned if you do, damned if you don't.

What if this sub limited female speech?

New rule adopted by askwomen 2 days ago. And the OP announcing this rule has plenty of comments who say this rule is just fine with them. EDIT: I apologize if what I'm about to say is insulting, I'm starting to think some people are actually dumb enough to think I'm suggesting we do that too. I know, I know, hard to believe anyone could be that dumb, but this is the internet you know. Again, I apologize for implying some of you are dumber than a grapefruit.

Furthermore, men are welcome to engage with this subreddit respectfully, and that includes no longer leaving top-level comments. (A top-level comment is a comment in response to the original post, rather than a response to someone else's comment.)

This is a subreddit to ask women questions. It is not a general discussion subreddit or a more broad ask subreddit.

Thank you all for making this subreddit such a lovely place!

FVAMB

FVAMB = Female Violence Against Men/Boys

I hate how this issue is often ignored and dismissed, despite it also occuring. I hate in general how violence is made to be a gendered issue when both genders can be horribly violent and abusive to each other. Even if male-on-female instances may be higher, it doesn't change or negate the fact the other way around absolutely happens too and in far high numbers than many realize.

Female violence against men (and boys) is absolutely not uncommon and is massively underreported for several reasons, not the least of which is societal shame and stigma, and men/boys who are victims afraid to strike back knowing their female attacker will still get to play victim and have people siding with her even with her clearly being the guilty one (which you can clearly see in this incredibly infuriating video; a problem even worse today thanks to "believe women." To say nothing how under the VAWA, any kind of violence against men is still counted against women which of course heavily skews and distorts the stats, and it's made even worse with how there's never a distinction made between violence done out of genuine malice versus that done in self-defense for a man/boy defending himself against a female attacker. Let's not forget other problems as well like the Duluth model and how there's very few shelters that even acknowledge or help male victims. Society often still makes light when men/boys get raped by women, especially teachers in schools who violate boys. It's sickening how that gets treated as a joke.

I don't deny male violence against women/girls happens, yes it does and it's wrong. But the other way around also happens, it's also prevalent and it's just as bad. Does it happen as much? Maybe not, but that doesn't change, negate or mitigate the fact it still happens and is still traumatic. The constant dismissal and ignorance of it and the usual rebuttals is just another means to deflect from it and to further divide the genders and further dismiss male issues. Sadly this rhetoric is largely accepted as factual and nobody questions it, which is also a big issue with the issue of misandry and how's existence and severity is frequently dismissed. Misandry exists and is a problem just like misogyny. And likewise, female violence against men/boys also exists and is also a problem just like it's counterpart.

I really hate how violence has been made into a gendered issue pitting both against each other when it's a fact both men/boys and women/girls can be terribly violent to each other and it's a no-brainer to help victims and condemn offenders of both genders. I'm so sick of hearing the usual deflections of "But men are so much more violent," "It's not on the same scale," etc. just acknowledge and condemn it in all forms, frequency and statistics of either be damned.
