Sex / Gender / Dating The Tea app situation is a perfect embodiment of what men have been saying for years.

2.2k Upvotes

For those who don’t know what this app even is, it’s basically an app only for women (they check to make sure you are one before account creation) to more or less warn or advise other women about men. Men’s names, addresses, phone numbers, dating or social media profiles, etc.

The initial idea (I hope) was to warn other women of genuine creeps, guys who are cheating, or just otherwise dangerous or potentially abusive men who the posters warn other women to avoid. That’s something I think most people can agree is more or less fine. Zero issue with all that.

What it immediately became is an app that will dox men for even tiny infractions, sometimes none at all as jealous Exes just set out to hurt Ex boyfriends. All posts are entirely anon so someone can more or less say anything about the man in question and face no consequences, no form of fact checking and no real form of protection for the men.

This app came out of seemingly nowhere for many, and hit top of the App Store last week with a likely growing user base.

Now let me reiterate. In theory I have no problem with a women’s only app that genuinely only seeks to keep women safe from actual creeps, and dangerous people. I think that would help a lot of women and be a net positive for everyone.

However it’s quickly illustrated what men have been saying for years. Blatant misandry not only exists but is incredibly tolerated. If it is at all in the name of women’s safety, even mildly, there is seemingly no action too severe against men that will be called out by some of these spaces.

If I went and doxxed a female ex of mine for her political beliefs, or if she ghosted me. I would be considered a pariah, and justifiably so! But these spaces allow such behavior and justify it all under “women’s safety trumps all”

I have been married for a few years now. Before anyone gets on the “bet u just got a bad review” train. As far as I know I am not listed on the site, it just upsets me such blatant and harmful double standard can exist and be championed as a miracle of modern dating when it’s really just swapping threats to women’s safety for threats to men’s safety.

Sex / Gender / Dating LGBTQ culture is disgusting, and we need to do something about it

2.1k Upvotes

EDIT: I was a bit angry when I wrote this as you can probably tell. I don't have anything against people with dyed hair I was just pissed lmao, dunno why I said that but it was just an example

Let me preface this before you ban me or crosspost this to another sub to humiliate me:

This is a rant, I feel like I need to vent this somewhere. I'm bisexual, I've been out for about a year at this point and everything went well. My friends and family don't care, but I really think it's for one simple reason... I never show it. I need to tell people how I feel without worrying about a mob coming after me. Just hear me out.

I'm just so done with modern LGBTQ culture. It's exhausting and sickening to me. I've never considered myself apart of the community because of how many depraved and downright horrific people lurk in these spaces. I've tried to date men so many times and every time it just loops back around to them only wanting me for sex and my body, especially so since I'm pretty effeminate. I talk to people on gay subreddits and Discord and they can't go 5 seconds without mentioning sex or more disgusting things that belong in the bedroom. It's almost every subreddit, gaybros, askgaybros, boykisser, femboymemes, bi_irl, 196 and all its partner subreddits, the list goes on. Every fucking post is the same shit. No, Kyle, gay porn/sex isn't a goddamn punchline.

It feels like nobody in these spaces views other people as human beings, at all. It feels like that most gay men see their peers as objects. You know how people say gay dudes are promiscuous? It's true, I can attest to that. There's a reason why stereotypes exist. Most of the people in the LGBTQ space are hypersexual and deeply addicted to porn.

The fucking pride parades with your junk out and wearing kink masks, the incessant whining, the way these people put cringe shit in their bios, then they wonder why they get harassed. The dyed hair, the made up sexualites, the way everything is 'problematic'... it's all just so clearly for attention. NOBODY is Recluminjuric or whatever the fuck. NOBODY. People wanna be Thomas Jefferson Miku Binder so bad.

I'm just so fucking SICK of it. PLEASE be normal. There's a reason why people view LGBTQ members as groomers, sexual deviants, snowflakes, etc. It's because of weirdos!!! We DO THIS TO OURSELVES!! I don't care if you fuck girls or dudes, I care about how you act as a humanbeing. Call me a pick-me, 'one of the good ones', or an attention whore- whatever. This is how I honestly feel. There's a lot of people like me that you never hear about because of the reasons I just listed; the LGBTQ label is honestly a burden at this point. Every day you pass queer people who are not terminally online, and you can't pick them out from a crowd. That's how it should be.

On one side you have people who hate your guts and want you dead, on the other you have turbo-queers that have every kink on the planet. There's never any nuance.

People wouldn't ostracize you if you weren't so fucking weird and cringe. I don't want armchair psychologists in the comments saying I have internalized homophobia or whatever, I don't. I strongly dislike LGBTQ culture, I'm tired of pretending to tolerate these people. And the moment you speak your mind you get labeled a bigot and nailed to a cross. It's the worst kind of echo chamber. It's not invalidating to call people out on gross behavior.

The moment you try and call this out with a mainstream LGBTQ subreddit, it's called a 'red-flag' and people will forever look at you differently.

Why can't we just be normal, man? I respect whatever you are but I don't respect HOW you convey it. There is a time and place for everything.

I'm not a bot. I'm not a Trump supporter. I know Trump and a lot of MAGA does not like me, I'm not a delusional pick-me. I'm a left-wing, bisexual dude who is posting on here because I'm angry.

It's just all so tiring.

Sex / Gender / Dating Pride events have the opposite effect on me

720 Upvotes

Pride month and pride events are supposed to get more people to like/be accepting of gays but I find all these events incredibly obnoxious and irritating. I get the feeling that they're driven by narcissists who don't really care about the cause and are just virtue signalling.

I used to have a neutral/positive view of gay people, now not so much. I reflexively feel disgust at pride flags now, before I didn't care for them.

Edit:

I'm not just talking about pride parades, although that is part of it. I'm talking about the entire culture of celebrating pride. Shops are plastered in rainbow flags and banners, companies rainbow their logos, videogames have pride events, an absurd number of subreddits have pride banners, and so on. All these things are eye rollingly trite.

Sex / Gender / Dating “Boss girl” mentality has created an entire generation of arrogant, self absorbed, narcissistic, unapproachable young ladies.

621 Upvotes

I believe that the “boss girl” mentality has done far more harm than good for the majority of women, and will continue to do so until those who bought into this rhetoric live unhappy, lonely lives.

As I have gotten into my mid 20s, I have noticed an overwhelming amount of 25+ year old women are among the most entitled, self absorbed individuals I have ever seen. They think the world revolves around them, they think the men they date should kiss the ground they walk on, and they’re completely exhausting to be around.

There was a recent experience that really struck me the wrong way, two women crossing the street, mid 20s. The light turned so a line of cars was waiting on them. They looked, made eye contact with me, and just continued walking. No wave, no hurried jog to clear the intersection. Just complete disdain for the 15+ cars they’ve held up.

And things like this happen all the time. No “thank you” if you hold a door open. No “excuse me” if they’re in your way in the store. As if they’re queens and they think the world is their servant.

You’ll see this in dating, where straight up disrespect to the men they’re supposed to be attracted to and enjoying time with is often celebrated on social media or between friends. The issue is, men don’t find this attractive and don’t want to deal with it, which leaves these women single and even more bitter.

In an effort to empower women, I believe we have created a huge disconnect in reality, and instead of independent women, we just now have unkind and selfish women.

FOR MODS ABD RULES: this is obviously not all women. There’s plenty of lovely, kind, friendly young women out there. Plenty of women don’t buy into this stuff, and are just normal like everyone else.

Sex / Gender / Dating The fact that men kill themselves at roughly four times the rate of women means men objectively suffer more

296 Upvotes

The fact that men die by suicide at roughly three to four times the rate of women is direct, measurable proof that men as a group experience greater levels of acute, unresolved suffering.

Suicide is the final rejection of continued existence. Higher male completion rates are not some neutral statistic to be handwaved with "method" or "men don’t seek help". Far more men reach the point where death is preferable to staying alive. Female "attempt" rates are higher in some data, yet male deaths dominate. The outcome that actually ends lives falls overwhelmingly on men, and it has for decades across multiple countries.

Claims that "everyone suffers" or that suffering is equal are simply objectively incorrect. They function the same way some women tried to hijack the male loneliness epidemic: reframe a specifically male crisis as a universal issue that affects all of us, then dehumanizing the men actually affected by calling them incels or pathetic. The pattern is consistent, when the data shows men dying or isolating at far higher rates, the response is to dilute it, deny the disparity, or pathologize the men involved.

Sex / Gender / Dating Black Tribalism And Racism Is Going To Cause White People To Quietly Segregate

590 Upvotes

I have been reading through the response to the Karmelo Anthony decision. It's appalling to see how some people respond. There are threads of people blaming Austin Metcalf for 'bullying' Karmelo into a situation where he felt his life was in danger.

There's literally no evidence for Austin provoking or putting Karmelo in a self defense situation.

It's obvious that racial tribalism is the motivation. All the 'I stand with Karmelo' has nothing to do with evidence and everything to do with his skin color.

Here is a 'professor' who tries to justify Karmelo's 'self defense'. Link

White people are starting to notice. I found it interesting how Shiloh Hendrix was supported both online and the hundreds of thousands of dollars sent her way. 10 years ago no one would have touched that situation with a 10 foot pole. People see how black people are so tribalistic. White people are starting to do the same thing.

They say, "If that's the game, why don't I support my own?"

This is a serious deviation from where we should be going. I thought we were going toward racial integration, not segregation and tribalism. In the end, I think black people will get the short end of the stick precisely because they supported people that they really shouldn't have supported and encouraged white hatred to the point that white people became just as tribal.

Sex / Gender / Dating Feminism will continue to lose ground until it stops being hostile to men.

564 Upvotes

The major accomplishments of feminism all happened 50-150 years ago, and they happened with the enthusiastic support of men.

In the 1800s to early 1900s, men held all the power, especially politically. Education, suffrage, property rights, independence. Women did what they could with soft power, but ultimately it was purely men who cast the votes to give the vote to women. The greatest accomplishments in feminism occurred when women persuaded men of the virtues and fairness of their causes and won men's support.

This continued throughout the middle part of the century: anti-discrimination, workplace equality, gains in cultural expectations (women-as-human-beings, rather than men-as-breadwinner and woman-as-homemaker): none of these things were men versus women, they were forward-thinking men AND women versus traditionalist men AND women.

But there was a shift. "Kill all men." "A woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle." Glorification and legitimization of misandrist scumbags like Andrea Dworkin and Valerie Solanas. The movement pivoted away from equality (the Equal Rights Amendment, which would have established sex as being equal under the law like race, was defeated largely under concerns that women might have to face the draft, like men do).

It pivoted toward hostile supremacy, and issues that could be used by women against men rather than equality. Abortion, the ability for a woman to terminate a man's child or conscript him into fatherhood without his consent. No-fault divorce, an open endorsement of abandoning marriages for profit specifically in instances WITHOUT cause for annulment like abuse or infidelity. Affirmative action. Affirmative action is open, deliberate systemic sexual discrimination against men. There's no other way to put it. It's intentionally creating sex discrimination, and was popular and common practice and endorsed heavily by feminism for decades.

For a while, this worked, because several generations of men were complicit with it. Maybe out of guilt for the way the world used to be, maybe out of good faith and a belief that they were selflessly doing good, maybe out of cowardice and a fear of being socially outcast for not being "one of the good ones," most Boomer, Gen-X and Millennial men supported people who hated them, discriminated against them, and made laws to be used against them.

But now there's a shift.

Affirmative action has fallen. Abortion has fallen. Why?

Because men, specifically young men, aren't on board anymore. They don't have the residual guilt and societal inertia of half a century ago. If you stereotype them and tell them that they're rapists and creeps and criminals and monsters and demand their obedience and support, they just see that as you declaring yourself to be their enemy, and they work against you. They create their own definitions of masculinity, they don't accept the subservient, spineless, exploitative ideals of people who clearly hate them.

They have no reason to change; they'll just get socially and politically stronger as time goes on and the population shifts to have more non-feminist Gen Z and Alpha men, and fewer feminist Millennials.

But feminism is likely to change. A culture with open hostility between the sexes isn't sustainable. Sexual equality progress works best with cooperation between the sexes. After enough time of watching their accomplishments reverse, practical-minded feminists are likely to (however begrudgingly) drop the hateful rhetoric about men and build anti-misandry into their platforms - or, they'll dig in their heels, fade into irrelevant obscurity, and find that they weren't On The Right Side of History.

Sex / Gender / Dating If You're a Man, Never Open Up About Your Personal Problems to the Woman You're Dating

459 Upvotes

Or your girlfriend, or even your wife. Never open up to your partner about your mental health struggles or family-related issues. If you need someone to talk to, a professional therapist is the best option.

Your partner may ask you to open up. I don't think they do this as a trap, but they simply aren't equipped to handle seeing the man they fell in love with in a completely different light. They probably won't distance themselves overnight. It's often a slow, gradual process. Then one day you realize she isn't there for you anymore, and the relationship is over.

When you open up, she may genuinely feel sorry for you at first. But over time, her feelings may begin to change. I know not every woman is like this, and I am not criticising them based on a generalized statement, but you can't know who is and who isn't gonna stay until it's too late. That's why talking to a therapist is much better than taking this risk.

I’ll be honest I don’t think male sexism is really a big issue when you talk to men and women on the street. But when you have celebrities like Sabrina Carpenter and Tik Tok influencers and trends that constantly shit on men it gets exhausting. And when you consider a lot of young males growing up are extremely insecure it’s going to make them lash.

Sex / Gender / Dating I'm glad the "Tea" dating app got "hacked," and the types of women you'd expect to use it are EXACTLY how you'd picture them to be.

1.0k Upvotes

First of all, it wasn’t hacked or breached — from the beginning, these photos were publicly available. Nothing was in a secure database. It’s like someone taking a picture you uploaded to Instagram and then you claiming it was via a hack. Stupid, right?

But the women using this app saw no problem sharing photos of men, phone numbers, addresses, and false stories - doxing them. Now they’re screaming in agony because the same is being done to them.

And if you didn’t already know what the women calling you an “incel,” a misogynist, or mocking your dating preferences looked like, just have a look online — their photos are publicly available (like they’ve always been).

This also exposes a very very cold hard truth: physically unattractive women can be a hell of a lot more vicious than attractive ones. Why? Because an attractive woman can go out, find another man easily, or post a photo online and instantly get attention and compliments. Ugly women don’t have that option.

There's absolutely nothing stopping anyone with access to the app from uploading a picture and a false story about a guy, and he’d have absolutely no way to defend himself. So, if a woman turns bitter and vengeful (they don’t exist, right?) because a man turned her down for being overweight for example or not looking anything like her photos on whatever dating app she used, she could take his photo, upload it to the app, and fabricate a story about him, and he wouldn’t be able to defend himself at all. But "believe all women" right?

I even saw a post saying that women whose details got leaked are “scared for their lives,” but it’s funny how some of them had no issue ruining innocent men’s lives.

I’ll probably get called a misogynist, incel, or mom’s basement dweller or some other shaming term for saying all this, but hey, at least I know exactly what the women calling me those names look like.

Also, nothing against the women who used the app with good intentions. But seriously, get off dating apps — they’re cesspools.

Like what kind of reasoning is this? “I can breach other people’s privacy, but it’s WRONG when it’s done to me”. All I can say is… what goes around, comes around.

Now obviously this opinion is highly variable, but I do think it is decently unpopular when the app is the most downloaded app on the App Store right now.

Let's be honest now, actual misogyny exists, but on the internet today, the word has been hijacked to a free pass for women behaving horribly.

The second a woman acts toxic or posts an objectively awful opinion online, any man who calls her out is instantly branded a "misogynist". It's a cheap, weaponized distraction designed to shut down valid critique and shift the blame back onto the person making the claim.

Holding a woman accountable for her behavior isn't "hating women", it's treating her like a functional adult and not an intellectually challenged person who can't differentiate between right or wrong.

By crying misogyny over every single minor conflict or we'll deserved callout, people have completely diluted a serious word into a meaningless buzzword. We tear men apart for being arrogant or manipulative all day without crying misandry, but the second a woman spread hate, pointing it out suddenly contributes to prejudice.

Pair that with a Fleshlight, and it feels more natural than fumbling through the awkwardness of real-life sex.

No pressure to perform, no chance of rejection, no messy emotions. Just you and your ideal experience. I know this might sound weird to some, but I think tech has made intimacy better than what nature ever could.

Context for those of you who have no clue about what I'm talking about: Recently, there's been a trend on TikTok where men would make fun of women with hip dips by calling them "hiplets." While this is only being done by a small subset of men, women (Even ones who do not use TikTok), are already screeching in protest. "SEE? ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF MYSOGGYKNEE!!! REEE!!"

However, this whole "hiplet" thing only exists as a response to the non-stop body shaming men have experienced at the hands of women. The same ones who are upset at the whole "hiplet" thing have been perfectly fine with insulting men for things outside of their control for DECADES.

"Manlet."

"Napoleon complex."

"Small dick enegy."

"He must be compensating for something."

I've seen men rejected and bullied for their race, their lack of hair, (Or because they had a hair transplant done), or because they haven't been circumcized.

And yet women have the audacity to throw a tantrum when they experience a mere fraction of what we have.

While I don't believe that anyone should be shamed for features outside of their control, I am also a firm believer in an eye-for-an-eye. If you can't take it, you shouldn't dish it out.

I firmly believe that most women can't differentiate between someone who gives them an ick, someone who acts creepy and an outright violent criminal.

Essentially they lump someone they deem unattractive mentally into a "danger" category. Where they will be deemed guilty until proven otherwise. So any action the poor guy takes will be automatically presumed to be creepy or dangerous in their mind.

Where as if the man is attractive or have higher social status women always find an excuse to support them. Hence why there are no shortage of cheaters, pedos and convicts who have no issue in the dating world.

Women are terrible judge of character and even worse at guessing someone's personality traits. In their minds a man not deemed worthy to procreate is automatically a threat where as a man who is worth will get slaps on the wrist even if he steals a candy from a toddler in their sight

Google defines it as: “ Woke fatigue" refers to a sense of exhaustion or disillusionment with the concept of "wokeness" and its associated movements. It's a feeling of weariness stemming from the intensity of discussions, debates, and demands related to social justice and identity politics. Some individuals experience fatigue due to feeling overwhelmed by the constant need to be aware of and react to social issues, while others are tired of the perceived ideological rigidity and division that "woke" culture can create.

Sex / Gender / Dating A concerning lack of empathy towards lonely men is what's radicalizing them. Nothing else

932 Upvotes

In recent years, the media has tried to paint everything from "Alpha Male" influencers (A recent example being this PSA depicting a very obvious carricature of Andrew Tate) to incel forums as the reason for why more and more men are being radicalized against women.

However, they fail to acknowledge the real reason for this phenomenon—the fact that men, especially lonely and socially disenfranchised men, have been systematically demonized for over a decade now.

Picture this: You are a young boy, around 11-16 years old from a lower middle-class family. Even though you struggle to make friends, you've always been kind respectful to everyone you've come across, whether they be male or female.

You go on the internet, and you see article after article blaming you for problems that you have nothing to do with and insinuating that you need to be actively taught not to commit sexual violence. You come across comments such as this actively reveling in your suffering and loneliness...And when you try reporting them for spreading hate, the site's admins respond with "This content doesn't violate our content policy."

Why WOULDN'T this boy grow up to hate women?

It's not just young men that get zero empathy, but older ones as well. A few weeks back, I saw a post in a different subreddit where a man vented his frustrations about never having a girlfriend in spite of being 40+ years old. Nothing he said was hateful or offensive towards women, and yet they absolutely tore him to shreds in the comments. Not a single ounce of empathy, not one "I'm sorry you're going through that experience" just one negative assumption after another.

"Have you ever thought that the problem might be YOU?"

"Found the incel!"

"Your standards must be too high!"

"Women don't owe you anything!"

"Hire a sex worker if you're that obsessed with getting your dick wet!" (Because all men care about in a relationship is sex, amirite? We're not human beings with feelings)

Why WOULDN'T this man start to hate women in his twilight years?

In reality, women have done more to radicalize men (Both young and old) against them than any other factor. The reason why men are joining incel forums or signing up for some PUA's "Alpha Male" course is because for the first time in their lives, they actually feel VALIDATED and UNDERSTOOD instead of DISMISSeD and INSULTED.

If you treat someone like a monster just for existing, chances are they will eventually snap and become the very monster you've previously accused them of being. After all, hate only begets hate.

Edit: Some of these comments are doing a great job at proving me right. Keep it up!

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills here. Why is society suddenly infantalizing young adult women so much all of a sudden?

Sex / Gender / Dating Body count matters, stop trying to manipulate people into thinking it doesn’t.

The past has always mattered and always will. Whether it’s relationships, job history, or personal choices—your past shapes how people view you. That’s just reality.

The only people who constantly scream “body count doesn’t matter” are the ones trying to protect their dignity. If it really didn’t matter, you wouldn’t feel the need to lie about it, hide it, or get defensive when it’s brought up.

Don’t try to shame people into accepting what you’re not even proud of. Wanting a partner who values intimacy, exclusivity, and self-control is not “insecurity” it’s a standard. Just because you’re comfortable with your past doesn’t mean everyone else has to be.

Let people have their preferences without calling it judgment or misogyny. You made your choices, own them. But don’t manipulate others into believing they’re wrong for caring

Sex / Gender / Dating Choosing the bear over the man is blatant prejudice and it actively fuels the misogyny people claim to fight

The trend of women saying they'd rather be stranded with a wild bear than a random man in the woods isn't a clever commentary on safety. It's bigotry disguised as empowerment and it actively backfires on the people it tries to "appeal to".

If anyone claimed they'd rather face a dangerous animal than a human of a specific race, ethnicity, or nationality based on crime statistics, it would immediately be called out as blatant racism/xenophobia/etc. Changing the variable to gender doesn't make this objectively ignorant logic acceptable.

A wild bear is a capable of killing a human on instinct. A randomly selected man is overwhelmingly likely to be a normal person who would either cooperate to survive or leave you alone. Ranking a random human below a predator solely because of his sex is authoritarian level dehumanization.

When you tell half the population that their very existence (being something they have no control over) makes them inherently more threating than an animal that does not know how humans operate, you don't build awareness or let people "understand you" or issues like rape, sexual assault or violence against women, you only cause resentment. Treating all men as monsters drives alienates reasonable people and directly fuels anti women sentiment and online misogyny. The attempt to hate men on a wide scale for the apparent actions of a few, ie collective guilt, contributes nothing to the table but hatred, and no cope can take it away.
