Dear Men Who Hate Ladies: How do I make my boner go away?
Consider the plight of the poor, horny Man Going His Own Way. He may have convinced himself that women are icky monsters out to highjack his sperm and steal his money. He may have convinced himself we live in a femi-fascist gynocracy out to destroy men and civilization generally. Yet his disobedient penis can’t stop thinking about sex with these evil, filthy women.
And so he turns to his fellow MGTOWers to ask for help: what can I do, my brethren, to stop popping so many boners? Ed1974, a newbie on MGTOWforums.com, puts it this way in a plaintive recent post:
[M]ore than almost anything I want to be woman-free and contentment to live a woman-free life. For more or less all of my adult life I’ve played in to society’s demands that I have to have a woman, and preferably a pretty woman, in my life. I’ve done a lot of Internet dating and every friggin time I get involved with a woman I regret it. Either I just want to get some ass and the woman wants a lot more than that and makes a mess out of my life when I leave, or I end up spending way more money than I ever wanted to spend just to have her grace my life with her presence, or something else that fucks up my life. The bottom line is I sincerely want to live a life without the desire to have a woman in my life.
So Ed is taking steps to quell his desire:
1. I downloaded a firewall blocking all dating sites.
2. I’m going to read as many books on misandry that I can.
3. I’m going to take myself out of situations where I can get in trouble, such as bars.
4. I’m going to fill free time that I would normally spend out with some woman with something productive.
I also want to remember the bad times where I’ve had women who I’ve tried to get out of my life end up stalking me for months on end. And to be perfectly honest, I want to remember the time I got the clap from some skank. I also want to remember that I should be thankful that I’m not a baby daddy and I’ve never had any false rape charges against me.
Alas, but poor pretty Eddie is afraid that this won’t be enough, and begs the assembled MGTOWers for “other steps I should take.”
Site admin Nacho Vidal suggests he go another way entirely:
My advice would be to scrap the ‘steps’ you’ve taken and take your wanking up a notch! Also, have you looked into hiring a whore or two once a month?
Others jump in to endorse the masturbation-and-prostitute strategy, and encourage him to cultivate his hatred of women by reading from the ample selection of stories on the site about evil, depraved, disgusting women. As fairi5fair puts it:
I go to college and still get the biochemical reactions that play into the mate-spawn-die script when I see a 20 year old with a candy apple ass and perky tits, but my growing understanding of women in general helps to make it less urgent and more negligible everyday.
A few others have more novel advice. Our friend womanhater suggests a trip to the mall:
Sit in the food court, and spend a good three hours there. Leisurely sip on some coffee, and simply watch.
See all the soulless men being dragged around by cupcake holding her bags. You’ll see the total absence of hope in the eyes of men in this trap. You’ll see his brain calculating the immense debt being run up, and yet he knows he’s fucked.
Pay attention to the stupid whores in training aged 15 or so, and simply listen the absolute shit running out of their mouth. Watch their behavior and internalize that every twat you see aged 25 was doing the exact same shit a decade ago.
Every time I start to feel my ghosting resolve start to slip, I go to the mall for a few hours. Clears my fucking head every time.
NewWorldMan suggests a sort of mind-over-boner strategy:
Sounds like BS, I know, but telling myself (actually saying the sentence in my head at the moment of attraction): “I control my dick, my dick doesn’t control me — actually works for me.
Frederick326 suggests an anatomy lesson:
Read up on vaginas. They’re fucking disgusting.
And fairi5fair also links to the (somewhat NSFW) video below. I’m not sure what exactly it’s supposed to accomplish other than to remind us that Japan leads the world in baffling entertainment product:

NWO said@9:10pm
“Well I see the discussion, or lack there of, has turned into the standard feminist response. Insults, denial of facts, idiocy and mockery. Which means it’s time to say, das vi danya.”
So you’ve been clearly shown to be completely wrong and you’re going down the garden to eat worms?
Silly rabbit.
NWOslave
You are not sexually attracted to men and you hate women.
It seems that you are in a bind much the same as your mgtow peers.
On one hand you have to attack gay men because you’re not one of them (right?) but you also have to make your repulsion of women known on a daily basis.
It’s really quite the kettle of fish (so to speak) you’ve gotten yourself in isn’t it? I just really don’t see a way out for you.
Is there actually a way for you to live in society? I really doubt it.
The rest of the world gets by, has friends, relationships, but you can’t. I would guess that the entire mra/mgtow population is at best ten thousand. You certainly have my permission to start your own country or town, but you seem to lack the organizational skills to do so.
I’d like to help but I just don’t see how when you won’t help yourselves.
NWO: You need to use the Spanish Alphabet, до свидания.
But, since you brought Russia into the picture, “Citizen X” was a Russian mass murderer. He was straight. Andrei Romanovich Chikatilo killed something in the neighborhood of 50-60 young people.
I think I’m missing something. What’s offensive about
“cissy”“cisgendered”?MRAL:
Did you suddenly notice you had accidentally said something reasonable and had to make up for it?
Pterygotus: iirc, most of the “gayness” they encouraged was pedophilia.
You recall incorrectly. Plato encouraged it, and his writings have shaped a lot of how we see Greek Culture, esp. as he, and Aristotle, were the major sources of Renaissance understandings of the workings of Ancient Greece.
Greek (and Roman) views of sexuality were complex, but pedophilia was frowned on.
A man can dream, Cassandra. A man can dream.
(less serial killers, more kitties?)
@ Hershele
There’s nothing actually offensive about “cis” or “cisgender”– the point is that a lot of discussions on the internet about transgender topics get derailed by cis people who are offended at their gender/sex being put on a par with a trans person’s. They’re upset that trans people dare label them, because they’re “normal” and they don’t need a label, duh!!! Some people misunderstand the point of using “cis” and think that if trans people complain about discrimination or whatever that they’re putting down people who aren’t trans and that “cis” is a secret trans slur or something. But in any case, the conversation goes off track because then cisgendered people will argue that “if trans people get to tell me to stop saying tranny/shemale/(insert other slur here) then I get to tell them to stop using cis!!!”.
I have seen a number of conversations totally explode on mainstream gay websites due to this issue, and it’s always extremely disheartening to see it happen. Especially since the whole transgender/cisgender thing parallels the usage of “homosexual”/ “heterosexual”. But one thing that you will unfortunately learn if you spend any time in the queer community (I have no idea if you do or not, forgive me if you already do know) is that just because it’s usually called “LGBT” it doesn’t mean that a “G” will understand a “T”, or an “L” will understand a “B”, or a “T” will understand an “L”. Gay people aren’t immune from transphobia and trans people aren’t immune from homophobia. Arguments tend to get really nasty because often queers of one experience will assume they are automatically qualified to talk about others’ experiences, or that they’re automatically allies no matter what they say. (See Dan Savage for example and some of the things he’s said about women, bisexuals, and trans people.) I think that’s why I’ve almost always seen the STOP CALLING ME CIS thing on gay sites– gay or bisexual people are the only people who are exposed enough to trans people to have an opinion about trans dialogue issues but are also potentially transphobic enough to object strongly about basic terminology.
I have to admit though, as far as I’ve seen it’s mostly gay white men who get angry about being called “cis” (so it really does seem to be a privilege issue) and the occasional throwback “feminist” anti-trans white lesbian. For some reason, as far as I can gather, the bisexual/pansexual community has been historically more accepting of trans people. (This doesn’t mean that Bs are immune to transphobia though– I’ve met an occasional clueless bi person.)
Inb4 the inevitable “I don’t think this guy has to worry because no woman would ever want his ugly creepy ass anyway, amirite guys??? lololol” comments from the usual suspects.
Spot on, Broseidon.
Also, I’m not dumb in any situation, which means I’m smarter than you Ozymandias.
Not really, he can be good looking and a woman would want him possibly at first.
Then she talks to him and goes “oh my goodness gracious, look at the time, I have to meet my dear old grandmother at the airport before I leave forever. Nice to meet you.”
MRAL, you’ve made it abundantly clear that in social situations, especially those involving women, you’re dumb as bricks.
MRAL, in which situations are you the smartest, would you say?
Wrong thread! I think he’s too embarrased to talk about his erectile situation, so he’s avoiding this one.
ry because no woman would ever want his ugly creepy ass anyway, amirite guys???
See, and by creepy, we mean “says things like this about women and their hideous meat holes”, not as you MRA’s like to think “Is Not Brad Pitt Bieber Gates PUA or whatever alpha means today”
How can we be so shamey???
Cassandrasays – Ooh, awesome, I’ll go looking for where else he is…
Actually, wait, right thread! I’m confused now. Lack of sleep plus trying to transcribe an hour long interview, only half of which is in English, it making me loopy.
You should try some trazodone and nyquil! It makes me so eloquent and findey of threadz!
Not really, he can be good looking and a woman would want him possibly at first.
But have we not been taught by the wisdom of feminist blogs that women can spot creepiness a mile away and guys who are alone deserve to be that way? AKA the argument that’s always pulled out and given a good dusting-off when any guy complains he can’t get a date? Make up your minds.
Seriously, MRAL, genuinely curious where do you really feel you shine?
Actually I think Broseidon and friends know very well that creepy means “please stop wanking through your pants while staring at me on the train while I’m trying to read a book, random businessman” rather than “ew, you’re not hot enough for me”. They’re angry precisely because they know that they are guilty of behavior that women find creepy, but they aren’t going to stop just because some bitches tell them to because dammit why should they? Etc, ad nauseum.
See, and by creepy, we mean “says things like this about women and their hideous meat holes”, not as you MRA’s like to think “Is Not Brad Pitt Bieber Gates PUA or whatever alpha means today”
Only problem with that is, 99% of guys in fact do not talk that way and are still labeled “creepy” just because they aren’t attractive enough or you’re in a bad mood that day.
PS: You should try to make your statement as ridiculous as the one you’re aping, if you want this to work XD
“They’re angry precisely because they know that they are guilty of behavior that women find creepy, but they aren’t going to stop just because some bitches tell them to because dammit why should they? Etc, ad nauseum.”
And if they can bring in the shy guy who just has problem’s socially as their sheild, well, damn right they’re gonna bring in that guy!!!
So tell us, broseidon, what standards are we allowed to have for creepiness?
You think that 99% of guys are labelled as creepy, in a general sense? Wow, you really need a better group of friends if that’s been your experience.
>>why is NWO nicknamed Owly?
That sounds a lot like O RLY?, that owl macro that I guess comes to mind immediately whenever NWOSlave spouts one of his trademark ‘facts’.
Maybe that’s why? Not sure.
Cassandra: Ah yes, the old “if you defend yourself, you must be feeling guilty!” nugget. By your logic, I could call you anything and take your denial as proof that I’m right.
with you so far.
Oh HO HO HO HO HO HO HO HO HO HO HO
Seriously, be less blazingly wrong.
<blockquote.Also, I’m not dumb in any situation, which means I’m smarter than you Ozymandias.
Everything you’ve ever said about social science has been dumb as dumb can be, off the very top of my head.
Did you ever read the Shroedinger’s Rapist thread comments? I can’t remember if it was that one or the other thread that spawned it, but things really got out of control when someone got out of control when someone got upset on behalf of her friend who lots of women find creepy, a friend who WALKS AROUND CARRYING A FUCKING SWORD ALL THE TIME.
Not really the lack of Brad Pitt-ness that was the issue in that case, but once again it became all about how it’s mean for women not to welcome men with open arms when the men in question are acting in strange and disconcering ways.
“You think that 99% of guys are labelled as creepy, in a general sense? Wow, you really need a better group of friends if that’s been your experience.”
No, I was talking about 99% of the guys who are labeled as creepy. If you’re going to twist and misinterpret my words, at least make it more subtle.
“Only problem with that is, 99% of guys in fact do not talk that way and are still labeled “creepy” just because they aren’t attractive enough or you’re in a bad mood that day.”
Evidence please? If all you mean is that any given guy might somehow, even innocently, somehow seem at SOME POINT “creepy” to SOME woman, (and any woman might seem creepy to some man, I mean, I’ve unintentionally scared some people in my life, it happens – Also, I’m ACTUALLY autistic and have trouble with social cues and facial expressions, I’ve creeped dudes out and so I understand the innocent PROBABLY HAS ASPERGERS dude you bring into these discussions) at SOME point in her life… Because there’s billions of women, and a dude might actually creep one out… So, is that what you mean by “labeled creepy?” – Cause that is not all women or even more than one woman labeling people with a SCARLET L for loser, or c for creep, or b for beta, or whatever.
Regardless, what are legitimate standards of creepiness, in your view, and why in the name of heaven does the OP not meet them?
So what do you mean by labelling… If you mean, some woman somewhere might have thought they were creepy, then what do we do about that, also? What are legitimate standards for women to have?
Why are you so convinced that women think 99% of men are creepy, Broseidon? That’s not reality, so was it hyperbole or do you actually think that, and if so, why, and based on what evidence?
CassandraSays: You are willfully misinterpreting what I said and arguing against positions I never held. Therefore I see no point in further responding to you.
zhinxy: “So tell us, broseidon, what standards are we allowed to have for creepiness?”
You can have whatever standards you want, I won’t tell you how to behave. I’ll just point it out and laugh, something I believe you and the gang here have quite an appreciation for.
Well, in recent memory, in my own social circle, I can think of only one guy who was labelled as creepy by most of the women. Funny thing…turns out that, upon talking to people who went to college with him, he had raped at least 2 women that we know of. One of my guy friends pulled him off of a girl who was passed out drunk in a cab, and another guy friend was only able to prevent him from stripping a passed-out female coworker and molesting her by pointing out that that sort of thing tends to open the door to corporate lawsuits. Notice that the people confirming his creepiness here were men, not evil bitchy feminist women who just victimise men for not being Brad Pitt.
He was very good looking, by the way, good looking enough to have modelled if he’d wanted to. Shame about the blank-eyed Kubrik stare, which was part of why people found him creepy in the first place.
>>why is NWO nicknamed Owly?
That sounds a lot like O RLY?, that owl macro that I guess comes to mind immediately whenever NWOSlave spouts one of his trademark ‘facts’.
Maybe that’s why? Not sure.”
I wondered about that too! Anybody on here know the probably awesome story?
”
zhinxy: “So tell us, broseidon, what standards are we allowed to have for creepiness?”
You can have whatever standards you want, I won’t tell you how to behave. I’ll just point it out and laugh, something I believe you and the gang here have quite an appreciation for.”
Okay then. But in your opinion, is the OP “creepy?”
If not, why not?
By the way, just for the record, women can be creepy in a specifically sexual way too, it’s just less common. Working around the music biz and watching how some female fans act towards some of the bands…yep, pretty damn creepy. A friend once watched some of them circle one guy and described it as “it’s like they’re starving, and he’s a juicy steak, and they don’t realise that they’re being creepy, because they’re not thinking of the situation from the steak’s point of view”.
As a general rule, if you’re making someone else feel like steak, you’re being creepy and you should stop it.
99% of men whom are labeled creepy received it out of spite and malice? You live in a strange parallel universe to mine.
Here are some behaviors of people I’ve personally seen labeled creepy
-Covertly masturbating while staring at someone in a classroom setting
-Leaving suggestive notes on the hood of someones car
-Continual stalking despite being told not to (this went so far as a restraining order)
0% of these had anything to do with their looks. This is 99% less then the statistics provided.
I say you’re all child-abusing drunks. If you get angry or deny this, it just means that deep down you know it’s true. See how this works?
He was very good looking, by the way, good looking enough to have modelled if he’d wanted to. Shame about the blank-eyed Kubrik stare, which was part of why people found him creepy in the first place.”
-Yeah, see, broseidon, and I can get “that look” sometimes too, innocently, as an autistic. But the point is, there’s a reason we have “the gift of fear” – I may not be out to harm you, but how much blame do I put on you for wondering? And yes, if I get to have long interactions with people, they know me, and I can explain, and etc. I’m just “eccentric” or “she has aspergers… NO, no, really has it!” But somebody who just sees me act oddly on a bus? They don’t have to trust me or want to talk to me. And when you get to know somebody, and there seems to be somethign “off” about them, even after long, long exposure, well, that tends to be the much less innocent mistake creepy…
I again note that I’m the one who is supposed to have a problem realizing other people aren’t me and have their own feelings…
Actually, he’s not part of my circle of friends, but one more! Dude who drove past me when I was sitting at the bus stop, slowed down, took out a camera, started filming, and then turned around to keep filming once he’d passed me and he was waiting for the light to turn green again? Definitely creepy.
On noes, the wimminz, they are so spiteful and malicious. I’m sure he was filming a documentary and he’d just run out of photo release forms.
Also, dude who emailed me on a dating site, out of the blue, with a several thousand word description of how he we were going to become friends and then he was going to draw me and then as I grew to trust him I’d begin to let him draw me in more intimate circumstances? Yeah, he was creepy too.
Oh noes, how dare I label that poor artist who just wanted me to be his muse!
And then there was the 50-something guy who emailed my 24 year old friend on OK Cupid asking if he could have pictures of her boobs. He was also creepy. Or so she thought, that spiteful malicious bitch!
Shall I keep going or should I take a break so you can whine some more, Broseidon?
I just have to say it’s funny that every feminist space/blog I’ve seen has a million of these examples, yet in real life they are almost unheard-of, and when they do happen they draw as much anger and ire from men as they do from women (even more from men, often with a side of violence). Confirmation bias?
She treated your anecdata as anecdata. That you don’t understand this is hilarious, but not her fault XD
…Oh this is adorable. Run off and go play, muffin, adults are talking XD
See, I feel no need to do anything but shrug and go “whatever, dude” in response to your child-abusing drunk accusation, because it’s silly. So, again, why are you so defensive about men being called creepy?
This is what we call privilege. Please, keep demonstrating XD
Uh huh, and taht’s why you’re denying it; it makes you as angry as us!
…Oh this is adorable. Run off and go play, muffin, adults are talking XD
Oh, the irony.
It’s just above your grasp, I know XD
I just have to say it’s funny that every feminist space/blog I’ve seen has a million of these examples, yet in real life they are almost unheard-of,
Oh dear god in heaven, just go live as a woman for a while. This is the point. We have to deal with this sexual shit and you don’t. Dudes are so shocked whenthey realize this is the normal for pretty much everybody female they encounter, that here we go with the denial! NO! IMPOSSIBLE! WHO WOULD DO THAT! THAT’S INSANE! GUYS WOULD BEAT HIS ASS! I’D NEVER DO THAT!… It’s so not a part of your daily lives, that you guys don’t accept it happens. It’s so much a part of our daily lives, we basically shrug and accept it as normal unless it gets “really bad” – And it’s not feminist spaces. It’s everyday ordinary conversation with women, practically every woman I’ve ever known. Conservative women and liberal women and old women and young women and cis women and trans women and all women. We cant’ talk to you guys directly about it, because of how you react and explain it away to us. But feminist spaces give us a space to simply talk to each other like all women do, when you aren’t there. And not just feminist women. If the women in your lives don’t tell you how ordinary this is, it’s because you refuse to admit it’s ordinary. And because it is SO ordinary to us.
@ Zhinxy – Women on the autism spectrum are in a wierd position, huh? My best friend is Aspie, and honestly I think it contributes to her being targeted more often than most women.
Before Broseidon finds something new to whinge about – no, we are not saying that all autistic men are creepy. I used to work in tech – lots and lots of dudes who’re on the spectrum there, and most of them are not creepy, just a bit awkward.
I certainly have not. Most feminists can spot the creepsters like Brandon over there but the average woman needs a few minutes.
I must be a strangely talented person to be a child abusing drunk while being a childless teetotaler.
Cassandra: I’m not being defensive, it might seem that way because I’m trying to respond to 5 people at once.
This is what we have so far (it’s not the original point, but this is what it’s evolved, or devolved into): I say that a lot of guys are unfairly labeled as “creepy” by a lot of women, which is not as innocent as you might think because rumors and opinions tend to spread and damage people’s reputation and self-esteem.
You say that this isn’t true, and all creeps are labeled that way for a good reason, aka socially unacceptable behavior.
Based on personal knowledge and observation, I agree to disagree. You say that by doing this I’m defending being creepy.
Did I miss anything?
With Brandon it might take a while, but I’m guessing that Meller is pretty much obvious right away, even before he start telling people about the conversations he has with his dolls.
(The whole doll revelation is one of the most hilarious things I’ve seen in a long time. Really, Meller is the gift that keeps on giving.)
We sure are. I’ve heard from a lot of autistic women that they seem targeted more, but I don’t think I can say the same, maybe because of how I present *or maybe i put up with way more than I think I do!* – I note that I think I sometimes give off a “cold, very serious” vibe that can keep guys away – though on the other hand, my “neurotypical face” is often excessively smiley and gracious, so the “smile baby” guys are usually kept off, I think… Also, I think I zone out and miss a lot of the crap. ;) Small favors!
“Before Broseidon finds something new to whinge about – no, we are not saying that all autistic men are creepy. I used to work in tech – lots and lots of dudes who’re on the spectrum there, and most of them are not creepy, just a bit awkward.”
And yes, exactly. Like I said, with aspies and auties and such, we usually seem creepy at first, but you realize we’re just awkward and weird… It’s the people that seem, just so very normal… but you still wonder, really wonder, that I think end up comprising the real “usually labeled creepy and isn’t that HORRIBLE… well it does turn out he did x and y but STILL, WOMEN!” and our initial “creepiness” or the genuinely prejudiced reactions of others are the reason that we get dragged into this.
The drugs are now putting me really to sleep I think. man, I was so smrt tonight. I rock go me!
“awkward and weird” in quotation marks. I meant that people usually get over being SCARED or “CREEPED” by us, because they realize we’re just different and mean no harm.. As opposed to, oh they seem so normal bu ther’es STILl somethign unsettling about x…
What basis do you have for assuming that the labelling is unfair? Since you’re a man, it’s unlikely that the men in question act creepily towards you. So basically you’re going “if I don’t see it happen, it must not be happening”, which is just silly.
Broseidon, the point of my comment is that these were behaviors I saw that did label these particular men as creepy. It did raise up ire from both “men and women.” However, that’s irrelevant. Frankly, it was hardly a gender issue and more of an acting stalker-ey and making the person in question feel uncomfortable issue. The only bias I can say I have in noticing this is that this happened to a very close friend of mine, and I could tell she was visibly frightened for her safety, creeped out if you will. If it was a female doing these behaviors, I guarantee it would have elicited the same response.
(The whole doll revelation is one of the most hilarious things I’ve seen in a long time. Really, Meller is the gift that keeps on giving.)
Meller at a Doll Convention is just a David Lynch masterpiece ready to happen if somebody just films it live on their ipod or something.
^ And considering all of the above, doesn’t it kind of imply in the end that women get to dictate how men should behave, while men have to listen and obey? That’s a bit misandric isn’t it?
Not towards me personally, but I think I’d notice it in social settings at least once in a while. Even if I was oblivious most of the time, if it happens as commonly as you and your friends claim, you’d think I would still see enough cases to make me go “hmm”. And yet I can count such instances on the fingers on one hand, with the perpetrator immediately drawing anger from everyone present, men and women alike.
To be honest I don’t think it’s even possible to agree on something like this, because I think our perceptions of the world are just too different.
(the above was meant as an answer to Cassandra. I need sleep)
With my friend what seems to happen is that when she’s in full-on social anxiety and withdrawal mode it draws in predators like chum in the water with sharks. The more freaked out she gets, the more creeps bother her. It’s really a disturbing thing to watch. I end up wanting to stand in front of her and face down the creeps all YOU SHALL NOT PASS, which is kind of hilarious since she’s 5 inches taller than me and much more physically imposing.
You know, the former coworker I was talking about before isn’t on the spectrum at all. In fact he has excellent social skills (he’s a successful salesman), there’s just something off about him that becomes more obvious the more you talk to him. You don’t notice it at first, because he actively conceals it. I know what you mean about a lot of people reading aspies as creepy, and I think some of that is gendered in that female aspies get read less as creepy and more as just weird, but again, that’s based on people’s perceptions of threat.
You wouldn’t, actually, because most guys have enough sense not to act like that towards women in front of their male friends. Again, you’re doing the “if I don’t see it then it’s not real” thing and ignoring the fact that you have no experience of what it’s like walking around in a female body.
Go to a major metropolitan area. Any will do as long as the state it is in has laws allowing for restraining orders-specifically ones that outline which courts you go to in order to get them. Go to that major city’s local court and sit there all day through the requested protective orders hearings and petitions.
Then slink away knowing that what you claim never happens, happens way way too often.
Again, you’re doing the “if I don’t see it then it’s not real” thing
You’re asking me to believe something that goes against my personal observations, based on the word of a few vocal feminists on a male-bashing blog. I think a little skepticism is justified.
Golly, it IS misandric to expect men to be respectful of a woman’s boundaries! How dare we be so hateful to men to demand that they treat us with the same level of respect as they wish to be treated with!
I don’t care if you believe it or not, actually. But if you come into this space and go “it doesn’t happen” I’m going to point out that it does, and so is everyone else.
Golly, it IS misandric to expect men to be respectful of a woman’s boundaries! How dare we be so hateful to men to demand that they treat us with the same level of respect as they wish to be treated with!
And yet I see guys teasing and trash-talking each other all the time without filing harassment charges and restraining orders against each other. Funny.
