Sounds like an explanation is needed as to why some or many females had to be or has to be radical for change to happen …. Yet we are still a long way from real equal acceptance.
What alerted me as what looks like steps going backwards are being taken, by certain groups of males, was when I was watching MAFS. This one dude and his all male members of family and friends was very reminiscent of some of these ideologies below. (Tyson Gordon ex military)
Radical groups run or dominated by men often intersect with violent extremism, male supremacy, and far-right ideologies.Types of Male-Dominated Radical GroupsMale Supremacist and Misogynistic Groups: These networks—including certain online subcultures and involuntary celibate (incel) communities—promote rigid gender roles, view women as inferior or hostile, and sometimes normalize or encourage violence against women.Far-Right and White Nationalist Movements: Organizations such as neo-Nazi cells, accelerationist groups (e.g., The Base), and white supremacist militias are overwhelmingly male. They often use ideas of aggrieved or lost masculinity to recruit members through a promise of restoring social hierarchy or status.Violent Extremist and Terrorist Networks: Many global and domestic militant organizations feature hierarchical leadership structures operated by men, utilizing appeals to camaraderie, duty, and hyper-masculinity to draw in vulnerable recruits.Common Recruitment and Radicalization TacticsOnline Grooming: Groups exploit digital spaces, gaming platforms, and social media feeds to target isolated or insecure young men.Exploiting Real Grievances: Organizers often hook individuals by acknowledging real challenges—such as mental health struggles, economic isolation, or loneliness—only to redirect those frustrations into blame, hate speech, and misogyny.Promoting Rigid Stereotypes: Recruitment relies heavily on enforcing narrow definitions of manhood that reject vulnerability and demand the exertion of power and control.
Such groups are a very small example of men in general, yet all men are demonised by the 'feminists' while at
the same time they are silent on the Muslim religion, which has very similar tenets to those 'manosphere' groups above and is far more widespread. Why no outrage here? Is it because the progressive feminist left has found itself so connected politically to Islam it is unable to criticise it?
Believe or not, but it was in my thoughts about that earlier….how their religion (the males)represses girls/women. How the girls go to school until 8 years old then taken out and married off and I have read how some of these young brides die as a result of penetration.
My son’s wife was in Arabia for 2 years, and was engaged to a Muslim only to find he had expectations of her to do as told and dress covered up with what their women all wear.
She told him to get out and that marriage never went through. Was there hope that some of those males were liberated in their thinking? No.
I’ve read some parts in books where Arabic Muslim women had escaped, to write and let the world understand their restricted and brutal living conditions.
But now, I’m concerned about what’s happening in our country that all of us can be aware of.
More women are dying from domestic violence and it doesn’t seem to be slowing down.
Why in this western country should that happen? Are they all Arabic males?
I said earlier, drugs, over use of prescription, and alcohol are decaying the fabric of safety for many.
In my experience, in earlier times, it seemed that any abuse within a household had to remain hush hush. It was shameful in anyone knew.
Nowadays, it’s all out in the open, it’s not something that just escalated out of nowhere, there was always abuse in hush terms.
A neighbourhood school friend passed away 9 years ago. She never forgave her mother for not sticking up for her when the uncle sexually abused her as a teen in the 1960s.
She ended up on drugs, had a car accident. Had breast cancer, had a child out of wedlock she reared alone. She was a bit of a mess. Her son is lovely, a gentle loving son he was.
I’m the only one that can see how the family won’t accept him as family as spite against his mother that fought for what was truth.
I often message her son with positivity about his mum and about him.
He knows he’s not alone.
I’m truly disgusted with the bad treatment he has had to endure.
Earlier this year his grandma died (his mum’s mum). He and his wife attended, but his name was not included in the memorial card with photos.
I looked and saw it, and my heart sunk for him.
Here we all are, in a church, yet not very Christian.
I don’t have anything against men or women, but sometimes I find myself muttering under my breath “I hate people!”
