Why does society think trashing men today is justified only because of the past?

'Bring on the shirtless men': Why it's acceptable to objectify the male body but not the female's

I can understand why some people can't stand society and want to give up. Because these kind of people are in positions of cultural power.

Disgusting.

This article seems like it is justifying double standards against men because of the way yesterday's men did things in history. How is this fair or just? And all men that have a fancy for women shouldn't be blamed or harassment or rape.

They'll claim it's because women were so oppressed in the past and that that somehow justifies trashing men and destroying men's lives with false accusations of things like rape and stalking. It's easy to antagonize men. It's impossible to antagonize women. It's no wonder men are resentful of them.

We can't flee or escape from it, that's the problem.

[ManInChains]

Why flee or escape when something can be done about it instead?

[KlinkyCoder]

What can be done about it on a societal level? When men spoke up before they were quickly shot down, how can we change that? I am also not the type that is resentful of all women. I'm resentful of the toxicity of it on both genders.

Do what Trump is doing. Fighting

I'm very scared about a future where men doing the act of masturbation or mild things is considered outright evil or predatory and they'll successfully convince you and mine's neighbors and friends that it is justified because the way women were treated historically.

I don’t blame you for being scared. It’s why I’ve given up on women completely. Singleness is necessary these days for men

You didn't choose to be single, at least I assume. That's like saying you are giving up on eating because somebody spoiled or poisoned your source of food.

After being cheated on 3 times, then falsely accused and manipulated into being used for my money, seeking a relationship didn’t seem like something positive to me anymore. So I did choose to be single after all that

[Dargil]

Because that's the way it is and whining won't change it.

Oh no! Women are objectifying men the same as they’ve done to women for hundreds of years! Whatever will we do! Pffft.

[Deepestview]

At least, by biology, it is not bad for women for objectifying men than the other way round. Since women’s body create life while men’s body is not so useful compared to women’s except sex. This OP must hate women.

[KlinkyCoder]

@Deepestview What does being concerned about the behavior of men and women have to do with hating women?

[Anonymous]

because feminism isn't about fairness and equality but reparations and retribution

and they justify this through revisionist history and plausible deniability

[Stonergirl1991]

Never understood why nobody makes a big deal of objectifying men. Honestly, at least the boys I know actually seem to like being objectified.

[Anonymous]

Because feminism seeks to kill all men, when Kamala gets in it will begin
