I think guys wrongfully assume women's empowerment has to mean male emasculation.
Empowering women doesn't mean men have to give up their man hood, but I think some guys assume wrongfully that's what it would take.
Completely agree.
Find a way to make women's equality manly, and guys will jump on board.
i do not fear women having more power how ever i do fear women not letting men go after them anymore. I am happy that women are getting more jobs and our doing more i am thankful for that actually it means we get more money and it also means less women will be broke i do how ever fear the day and it will come when men and women are no longer together
I'd guess it's sometimes difficult to know what they mean by that. Especially online when it's often difficult to fully elaborate on what you're actually referring to, and you can't convey context as effectively in one comment or tweet.
If you're unsure, then reply to the comment and ask them to clarify.
Cause they r the most selfish and self esteem person those who brab about things but r good for nothing... intelligent people would always want women to be a step ahead cause they can handle a lot of your job and make your life easier and better happy
Women can be empowered as they want, provided that they pay for it themselves and stay out of my life and wallet.
I enjoy seeing empowered women alone, ignored, childless and consumed by bitterness and regret after the age of 40.
That’s called a revenge fantasy.
@MzAsh
It is not a fantasy. I see it every day, especially among the increasing number of homeless women. It is unusual to see a young homeless female. Most of the homeless women are on the wrong side of 40.
A homeless woman can improve her situation. Your toxic mentality that you have already displayed her is what is more worrisome.
Honestly i have no idea why it's so easy for guys to fall into that mindset; i was exactly like that a few years ago because it's easy to buy into the bullshit when the minority of fake feminists speak above the real; even so, I'm sure i would have liked that comment back then and i definitely would now, so i have no idea why there are four dislikes from guys, let alone anyone at all.
I think some men feel that if women are empowered than men would no longer be needed or wanted. in the past even men that were less attractive, less successful, or assholes could still find a wife because women needed men. now those men are facing life alone, and it scares them. so they lash out
I guess seed banks and hot girls can seem threatening when you lack a spine 😁
I guess the past wasn't as bad for many people as they say it was like.
When you look at the women who always carrying on about women empowerment. They are usual NOT empowered at all. Most "empowered" women, don't have to shout it from the mountain top.
How are those women not empowered?
Anyone who needs to pat themselves on the back ( men and women) are insecure. We all know this. It's like a guy always telling everyone " hey I'm a good guy... everyone , I'm a good guy" .
I don’t think there’s anything wrong with being proud of oneself or celebrating who you are or where you’ve come from time to time.
True
@MaAsh
*MzAsh
Threatened? Puhlease more like cringe because you think its powerful but actually your just acting like arseholes which actually makes you look weaker not stronger you look insecure fragile unsure of yourself. kind of like when guys pump their chest to pretend to be super masculine when you know their not
I’m not an “arsehole.” Actually I’m often told I’m nicer than I should be.
I didn't say it was you. You asked why men are "threatened" its simple were not the issue guys have is explained above
Why have you taken a picture of yourself commenting on your own take and then congratulating yourself on what a great comment you've made?
What?
There is picture in your post. And that is a screenshot. And the screen shot is of your comment. And there is also a reply by the post owner which is also you.
You think so huh? But can you prove it?
Err yes. Just look at the names of who posted the comment.
I’m sure you can do better than that.
Right?
Nope. The owner is MzAsh. And there is a photo which shows a comment by MzAsh and beneath it a response from the owner.
What are you talking about? It’s a screen shot of my reply to an anon user’s question. Underneath my comment, she replied back to me.
I mean, mytake, not question.
The MyTake is titled, Why Women’s Day Isn’t What It Was Before, if you want to look it up.
Yup, you're not seeing that's odd behaviour.
Oh I’m odd in a few ways, for sure.
Because it’s not fair and isn’t equality that only one side is getting it.
I don’t think only one side is getting it.
Well the family courts can be very biased and on a woman’s side and judges have been known to throw out prenup agreements. Also custody wise, even if the father is fighting hard to win custody and is the best fit guardian for the child the courts have been known to turn
custody over to the mother anyway.
As long as we see women as the primary caregivers of children, then the system will favor women in some cases. I think whoever has bonded with the children the most is taken into factor, and I believe it should. I’m not saying that women should always be awarded custody. I’m in favor of men being rewarded custody too, but I believe sometimes when they think they’ve been an equal parent, they in fact have not been. I think men are starting to be more hands on with their children but I think they still have a little ways to go.
But I think that’s still not an excuse for men to hate on International Women’s Day or the whole concept of female empowered.
Well that’s a shame. Personally that’s one of the reasons I’m not having children. I just wish it wasn’t the woman being the main caregiver because that makes me personally feel like im useless and expendable, you know? Like if the woman has a bigger bond with the child (since she birthed them) then what am i here for then besides protection? Just makes me not want to have children because of that, I don’t like feeling like I’m expendable just because the mother has a deeper and bigger bond with the child than the father does... Maybe I’m looking at this wrong possibly, I don’t know but today’s parenting has messed up my view of parenting.
I don’t hate on international womens day or empowerment cause men have a holiday too, i just don’t like that their empowerment is glorified. How i see it is we should just not care about whos more empowered and we should just do what we do and not worry about things like that. Maybe im wrong but I just don’t care for glorifying things like that even glorifying men related things as well. That’s probably just me though but I personally just don’t like gender glorification and i am all for equality much more than anything else.
Also when i said “i just dont like that their empowerment is glorified” i say that meaning to ME it seems glorified, that’s all.
How so?
@Chase7777 You're the one proving how offended and defensive you are based on the fact that a woman knows more than you considering she's 35 and you are 21. I think people who are over a decade older than you deserve more credit, depending.
It would be wise of you to listen rather than run your egotistical mouth.
People can be annoyed by something without feeling threatened by it. Equality is normalization, not accentuation. Constantly talking about empowerment comes across as insecure and it inspires a feeling of pity, and it isn't a pleasant feeling.
I'm 100% solid MGTOW Monk and have been for almost 34 years. It doesn't matter to me what women do as long as they don't bother me.
I am not threatened by women's empowerment, I am threatened by feminism. If you equate the two I've written a lot of articles as to why.
I don't think its threatening. Its just they can't help but be rude and mean and who wants to deal with that? How come when men are empowered they try to help those around them and when women are "empowered" they just want to put people down?
That’s “social justice” movements and what you see on tv. I don’t know a lot of women who actually act like that.
@HowNeatIsThat i dont know a lot of women who dont act like that. Its just their nature i suppose and probably the reason why men of the past didn't allow women to be empowered because they are essentially useless if they are. They could just as easily be confident in being a woman instead.
Ok that’s enough from you, bames.
Well, the chicks I’m friends with are dope.
@HowNeatIsThat oh well if you mean by hookup with you... yeah "empowered" women are cool and dope asf because they are more likely to suck my cock. Thats not real respect of valuing them, that is objectifying them for sex.
Not everything is about sex, dude. The chicks I’m friends with have their own lives. A lot of them have boyfriends, I have a girlfriend. We all hang out, drink, bullshit, go camping, etc.
Lol, as if women weren't already equal to men. Woman's equality is a normality, but some people fail to see that. Be thankful you don't live in a 3rd world country where woman truly don't have rights.
Their empowerment is often at the expense of men and when it isn't it encourages deplorable and non beneficial behavior that should be ridiculed.
That’s is also true for men as well.
Not in the last 50+ years...
As a man I can asked why women are threatened by each other’s? Why women when they find a beautiful smart accomplished women they try to bring her down. Just see what happened with Meghan markle
Before just blaming everything on us men. See why you act even like that towards each others
That’s is definitely true sometimes too. I personally love Meghan Markle and I think she chose a wonderful husband as well.
Phoebe prince commited suicide because other girls bullied her in school , it was not some chauvinist preventing a girl from education. It was her fellow girls who prevented her from education, and life itself
They’re used to being the top dogs. So when a woman declares she wants equality, they interpret that as women wanting to become overlords. Rather telling when they’re idea of equality is subjugation.
I only know one man who truly dislikes women empowerment. Most of the hate I’ve seen so far is internet bullies... specifically on this site.
I get dislikes all the time
Often when women talk about empowerment, it's not about equality between men and women. It's not necessarily that they feel threatened.
Roots from a fear of a metaphoric castration. You can see it in fables dating back to early writing. From oedipus rex to marvel's avengers.
Intimidated? I don't know how anyone feels really.
How is one supposed to feel when any group is pushing for forced equality-of-outcome laws that have punitive aspects to them?
If they are threatened by woman who want to be equal or the me too movment then that says a lot about them. If they are threatened because they think radical Tumblr feminist are the real thing then they need to go out and meet people.
No not by women who want to be equal but by women who are uneducated.
"Only weak men are threatened by strong women" ...
I said that.
Im cracking up that 3 guys voted this down. LMAO... they must be absolute pussies.
Threatened is not the same as disgust. I'd sooner stick my dick in a dying dog than in a feminist.
As if you had the choice 😂
I mean, a dying dog isn't going to tell you "no" I suppose.
That’s disgusting
What the actual fuck is wrong with you
@mattl338 :D I mean I can understand the sentiment perhaps use a different reference than a dying dog but I agree feminists are cancer and are awefull people
I do agree. Yeah perhaps he could have used a better reference rather than bestiality.
A lot of women that have this sentiment will shout for equality while calling men pigs at the same time. If you ask me that's why there's so much backlash towards feminism or women's empowerment.
Some men are insecure and feel threatened. Some men are simply tired of hearing about it every two seconds. These days women feel they're 1) the first ones to accomplish anything and 2) want awards for tying their own shoes.
Bc they don’t want to compete with women. Like whites during the civil war. Most didn’t have slaves, but they liked the idea of being auto above other people.
Then they just shouldn’t compete with women then.
Everyone wants to feel superior without actually doing anything.
Speaking only for myself here , certainly doesn't affect me negatively at all. If anything they're slight empowerment reliefs me in various ways of being a man today. And allows more room for my own personal experience with life as I like it.
Not this shit again, smh.
What threat? Women that post shit like this feel over-empowered in the first place! Real women get things done and don't care about the implications.
A better question: Why do some women make up complete bullshit just to maintain their own imaginary victim status?
Every female that i have ever met in a position of authority has been an evil cunt
“If you run into an asshole in the morning, you ran into an asshole. If you run into assholes all day, you're the asshole.”
LOL that is akin to what I told my sister when she complained that all her neighbors were assholes.
Tiny egos...
Cuz women's are not accountable... They ain't ready for power...
We are very ready.
YALLRE ready... To make us sammiches... Not for responsibility
Too bad
Well we will we watching and waiting... For y'all to come crawling back... From your train wrecks
Yeah well don’t hold your breath
I never hold my breath... Even when I go unda tha watter... I almost drown every time I get into the... Kiddie pool... And I'll never look back... No regrets
Lol ok
But I do put on my swimming goggles for good measure... So I can see where I'm drowning
If you are a man with high self esteem and confidence, there is no reason to feel threatened by anything women do.
And the worst part is, they *know* they're doing it. It's intentional. Not a single woman I've caught doing it has ever turned around and gone "what are you talking about?".
Because they already know they're attacking men just to try and destroy our confidence
I completely agree, HowNeat. I know plenty of confident, high self esteem men who not only don’t have a problem with women being empowered, these men will stand beside her in support.
@damoM 👍👍
@damoM that’s what self esteem is, dude. No matter what people say or do to you, self esteem keeps it from bothering you.
No it fucking isn't lol, that's arrogance. Believing in yourself is synonymous with self esteem and it's always easily brought into question. It takes a lot of success on something before you'll be truly confident you're doing the right thing
Lol whatever man. Life’s just easier when you ignore all the BS
HowNeat, you’re right.
Lol who uses the word “wanker”?
Sounds like you're threatened by true equality. Feminists don't want women to be treated like men are, they want preferential treatment over guys, which itself sends us back to square one with handling sexism.
because they'd rather focus on other people instead of themselves
“Men” will respect women and if they feel that a certain woman is making it seem women should be higher than them then he would leave and never communicate with her again, those are “boys” disliking your comment
It hurts their already tiny egos
Me ego is quivering... Stroke my mullet please 😭
Haha exactly
Well, if womens wanna be so powerful, why don't they take us on dates? 😦
What if I don’t care about dating and not desperate for sex? Also, I do pay for dates by the way
Just like how guys have to get used to having women as their competition for jobs, women have to take responsibility for what it means to have equality
But is that likely to happen? Nawwwwwww
Only time will tell. Major changes usually need the old generations to die out to truly change things
I sometimes treat my man to a date. But he’s put in many years of proving he’s smarter than nearly all of the rest of the male population. He deserves it.
Why do only the smart ones deserve dates? 😦
That’s just my preference.
@MzAsh I agree with what you said about your downvotes. Some guys out there think they are gods gift to women and deserve to appreciation for things they didn’t do. A lot of compensation for tiny egos out there.
But... I am... Mommy told me so
@LEADFOOTboi , Holy balls! she really did close her account.
Y’all are fools.
RIP R_Cakes91... We will remember you... For the str8 flames that were spitted... It was lit fam
Because it's not empowering. It's just a crazy agenda
The only threat that bothers me is losers being able to vote themselves my property.
It throws off the natural course of things in life.
How so?
By going against nature
What’s natural?
Knowing your place
Nah you wish
We're not threatened by them, we find some of them just purely stupid. Being against something doesn't necessarily mean you're "threatened" by it.
But most of the time I’d say it is the case.
Same reason why some women (Feminists) are so threatened by men's empowerment. That's why they started that movement in the first place.
Could be the same reason why male dominated society was systematically created. They were afraid of natural feminine influence.
So is the same reason why women chose not to do anything until technology was made to make lives easier. Is it also safe for me to assume that they're salty that men invented most of the things?
I’m sure more women would have invented great thing if they weren’t too busy raising these men’s children.
No body's forcing them to have babies or to marry a man. Women also chose not to do anything and it had something to do with gender not being a social construct but it's was hardwired in them that they let their husbands to all the dirty work since technology was kinda primitive back then and the government isn't as developed like todays society that's when men were more muscular. And you notice a lot of girls these days complain why men are getting less masculine. Technology was made better so that guys can be more relaxed and that's when girls just wanna try on everything. It has nothing to do with feminism and oppression but change. Because talk about oppression, men were oppressed too and even now. And is name calling suppose to prove you anything?
Of forget the name calling part. I copy pasted that from my reply in someone's comment.
But they were being forced in the old days as per arranged marriages. Women were taught that breeding was their only purpose and anything else was too frivolous, masculine, or wayward.
And by who? Is it only men who taught them that? Evolutionary wise, women were safe guarded so that the human race will survive since it's harder to repopulate the earth with more men than women because a man can impregnate hundreds of girls while fathering thousands of babies that's why they're always put up front and it's also women's instinct to look for men to survive until we evolved today, we still have our greatest ancestor's DNA. The arranged marriage isn't only the idea of men but also the matriarchy and women's instinct. Telling women not to do things and be safe is also the idea of other women
Maybe once upon a time it was necessary for population. But we need some serious quality control of our current population. Most people who get married and have kids don’t know who they are or what they want. They are ignorant, uneducated, inexperienced and therefore, unhappy. I can’t imagine how much worse it would have been if the demand for women’s voice hadn’t have been motioned.
Also you notice that there is a movement feminists make that's against housewives right? They wanna shut them down because they're proof of how women is biologically hardwired. Even with better technology today, better equipment and government systems, they still chose to be traditional.
Now let me ask you, why are some women even threatened by traditional women?
"Maybe once upon a time it was necessary for population" <-- so you do agree. And that was also the time when humans are made. Like what I said we still have our greatest ancestor's DNA which is why society still care more about women than men.
I don’t have a problem with women being traditional IF they aren’t “trad thots” or pick-me chicks like Lauren Southern, Girl Defined, and holy roller haters like Lori Alexander. Sadly, this makes up a large part of trad con women today.
Aside from them, and war dat away from them... if women want to be traditional then I say go for it. Do what makes you happy, which is all I really want.
I didn't ask you to speak for yourself. You're still dodging my question.
I don’t think anyone is threatened by traditional women but they are threatened by those who want to pressure them into being traditional.
Then you're just what you just wanna see. So how about if I say I don't think women are threatened to become housewives? Sounds familiar?
They are pressured to and that’s wrong.
So is men. So the point is?
No way. If anything men are encouraged by feminists to not feel that they have to conform to traditional standards. They created The Mask You Live In which criticizes certain traditional masculine norms. They celebrate stay at home dads.
Then you just fail to see the other side of the fence. Like what feminists are good at, self pity and being one sided. "only women are oppressed" notion which promotes the feminist deluth model which is why people like you see things what they wanna see.
I’m don’t believe women are really oppressed compared to when they once were.
You don't believe so that's your opinion. Not a fact.
Yeah it is my opinion.
Here to debunk that https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=In8jWBlc8xo&t=15s
lol ok
Indeed "ok" If you'll just be comfortable with your own ignorance, why bother anyways?
You should Ask that question in some Muslim country and see what happens to you. lol You would get whipped.
They can only dream about whipping me.
Because they have to leave their comfort zone because of her empowerment
I think people just get annoyed at the nonsense that comes with it.
Men don't like being subservient to women...
It hurts their macho pride...
Because empowerment isn’t equality if only one side of the scale is receiving it.
100% true
Its not the woman its the desperate men in the world that let her by with everything giving her all the power
If that's the sort of empowerment, then I'd safely say it's inconsequential. It's more like a minor euphoria that quickly fades.
Because it means they won’t have any control over them anymore most men who are threatened by it are the types that are abusive in their relationships
@sawno I’m just speaking off of experience every man in my mothers life has been controlling and anytime she would want to vote, go out and be with friends or do anything really he would track her phone, text her 24/7 monitoring her and would sometimes just keep her locked in the house
But I agree a lot of women play victim like this to gain more power over men when we are somewhat equal
I personally don’t like the whole victim bullshit from any gender because most the time it is horseshit
But this is a argument I know very little about so I can’t really say shit
@Chase7777 you’ve never heard of men like that? Probably because you ignore it. My mom doesn’t need professional help. You’ve probably never even heard of Stockholm syndrome
So you tied a bad personal experience to the majority. Luckily the majority of western men are not like that so its not really fair on us. The mainstream and especially the woke narrative tries to demonize us with stories like that which is why many men are tired of it and push back so hard.
Threatened when it becomes a burden like when they try to do jobs that require hard labor. Or when they use their "empowerment" to talk down to men.
Uhhh. I dont think they are.
We just dont like harpy women.
Because after they become "empowered" they usually find a way to trash men.
Loaded question much LOL. I guess there's no debating the premise?
Probably insecure with their masculinity and a bit fucked up
Because they aren’t used to it. They’re used to this patriarchal society. Things are going to change. I love it.
For the same reasons women are threatened by men's empowerment. Each sex wants total control and not equality like they claim.
