There are no misandrists on this website. GAG is built and run by a bunch of misogynists.

I was on yahooanswers forum for 10 years. Over there were plenty more smart people and few to no misogynists. Smarter , better educated / informed population over there too. But unfortunately the site shut down.

Unfortunately, this might be a reflection of our society, where many people are struggling with emotional and mental health issues. In real life, individuals can be quite skilled at hiding their problems. Online, they have the freedom to adopt any persona without facing immediate social consequences. It's a misconception that only lonely men use this app; in reality, this phenomenon is widespread. The misogyny expressed online may stem from resentment, while in real life, people tend to be less vocal about their feelings.

I really don't think GAG reflects the real world society out there. The real world isn't filled with bitter angry woman haters. Its just that this site attracts certain types of people.

No matter how hard you try to hide it, it will somehow end up showing up. In the real world, I have only met 2 men that are hard core red pill misogynists. Vast majority of the men out there do not agree with what is being said on GAG.

One possible contributing factor to men's increased loneliness and depression could be the perception that their inherent masculinity is considered toxic. As a result, more effeminate behaviors may be encouraged, while society tends to be harsh on men who display perceived weakness. In the context of dating, women have traditionally been seen as the gatekeepers of intimacy. Modern dating apps like Tinder further amplify this perception, giving women significant control in selecting potential partners.

In today's society, sex and relationships hold substantial importance, and with women earning more on average during their younger years when most people are single, some men may feel a sense of inadequacy. The difficulty in finding a partner and maintaining relationships, compounded by the instant availability of options for women through dating apps, can contribute to feelings of uselessness and discontent among men. These factors may play a role in the rising rates of loneliness, depression, and suicide observed in men.

It can sometimes seem as though societal discussions primarily focus on women's issues, which may lead to the perception that men's concerns are not given the same attention. However, there has been a growing awareness of men's mental health and well-being in recent years. Numerous organizations, advocates, and mental health professionals are increasingly highlighting the unique challenges faced by men and striving to provide resources and support.

It is crucial for society to recognize and address the issues faced by both men and women, promoting open conversations and fostering an environment where everyone's well-being is valued and supported.

"There are no misandrists on this website" <-- You are fucking hilarious.

Please, go back to yahooanswers and don't come back.

Same reason it attracts pedophiles and spammers. Because the admin team is so busy not knowing how the fuck to run this place they can’t be bothered to actually do anything about repeat offenders.

I consider myself somewhat smart, at the very least not an idiot 😂

[Asker]

I'm sure every 21 yr old out there thinks they're smart. but how much do these kids really know?

[MementoMori777]

Enough to walk away from this passive aggressive conversation you are about to throw at me ✌

[Asker]

its always the people who are the least experienced that think they're the smartest.

[MementoMori777]

That's the only thing you got against me, it's pathetic 😂

I think 90% is a bit of an exaggeration. If you feel superior to 90% of the users on here, you could see if you have a better experience on a different site. I hear SimilarWorlds is good.

[Anonymous]

Same reason it attracts misandrists like you.

[Opinion Owner]

Spoken like a true misandrist.

[Opinion Owner]

The same forum that had single moms trying to figure out how to get their baby sitter for child support, or how to get their ex arrested for a rape that never happened sorry princess, yahoo forums was just as bad if not worse than reddit. That is what it was shut down, along with their chat platform and chat rooms.

[Asker]

said like a true misogynist- making up random woman hating statements

[Opinion Owner]

Except i said nothing that is woman hating. It was disagreement nothing more. But your kind see disagreement as misogyny

[Asker]

You think you're the only one on this website? i've been on here for YEARS... I haven't seen any of the BS you've mentioned.

[Opinion Owner]

[Opinion Owner]

[Asker]

[Opinion Owner]
