We had a couple of really great responses to our previous article: The Destruction Of Our Children, Part 1. School featured heavily in many of your stories, and that’s a trend that will continue. As we have seen, male-hating ideologues have not only wormed their insidious way into classrooms – but also TV shows, books, and films aimed at our youth. These stories are so common on the Men’s Rights Reddit Sub that we had to split the article to fit even a fraction of them.
We’ve seen boys being used as pawns in power games. Boys being raped, beaten, assaulted, and then laughed at. Boys being told they are worthless, and even made to apologise for historical events. They teach boys to respect girls, but not vice versa – which is as good as outright telling girls that boys are ‘The Evil Gender’. But there is a single key theme to all of them:
These people are extremely keen to teach children that it is not okay to be male.

“I had my ‘Woman Card’ revoked because I support Men’s Rights.”
Back near Thanksgiving, I attended my school’s political discussion club. The subject was feminism, suggested by a kid I’m now meme buddies with. Feminism, of course, is one of my favourite subjects, as I have grappled with abandoning the label for around two years after having the ideology (false stats, fearmongering, misandry) forced on me as a child.
I did two weeks of research for this topic, and rattled off pages and pages of relevant statistics and short refutations at the beginning of the meeting. Which we started late because a bunch of new people defending misandry wanted to come. It was an absolute shit show. I spent the whole meeting being told I have a bad case of internalized oppression, that I must hate myself, and that I don’t deserve to call myself a woman/ participate in women’s rights activism, and that in fact, the only reason I defend men and “bash” feminism is because I want to win men’s approval.
Fun for them, because I’m actually pretty sure I’m asexual. But that casual sexism isn’t the point. I expected all that, I just didn’t expect it would all come before I even discredited or fought against feminism. All I had done up to that point was list male statistics (assault, suicide, rape rates and MGM laws) and suggest the definition of feminism was useless because it suggests no real feminists can fight for men’s rights (Because that is clearly untrue, C.H Sommers is a brilliant feminist and has fought for men’s rights for most of her career.)
Bottom line: these people don’t care about men. These people don’t even care about women. They care about forwarding feminism.
“Some People Are Monsters”
“I was 14 when she did this. I really hope she burns in hell. Also note that my brother and sister refused to believe she’d do something so evil until I had my dad verify it. During my parents custody battle, my Mother tried to have the courts force me to undergo an evaluation of sexual deviancy by the local psychiatrist in charge of evaluating convicted pedophiles. They would’ve had me strip naked before strapping my body to their evaluation device, which is a pressure-sensing plastic cone they force your penis into, then they make you watch all kinds of pornographic and non-pornographic images while they watch the pressure readings.
She wanted to have me diagnosed with some form of sexual deviancy just to discredit my dad in court. She tried to ruin my entire adult life just so she could win.
I hope she burns in hell.“
Anti-male propaganda in classrooms
“I’m a junior in high school. I started taking this class and the teacher is a male. I thought he was funny and made the class interesting but one day we’re discussing age groups in countries. We see on the chart that women outlive men on the average and he claims it’s because “men are stupid and dangerous. They don’t take care of themselves. Women are careful and smart.”
I raised my hand and said “isn’t it more from the fact that men do more dangerous jobs to support their families?” he twisted it and said “men do more dangerous things on average” and moved on. I used to see him as relatable and now I see him as another feminist hating his own gender.” – Anonymous High-schooler, via email.
Girls Demanding Special Treatment at school – And Being Abusive
(This was written in reply to someone who was talking about girls asking for special ‘ladies first’ treatment)
“Girls at my school also do this and always try (to butt) in front of the guys. Most of the time I let them pass so I can look at their ass lol
I don’t really have more to say about this and I let them in front of me because I don’t want trouble since women can be too unpredictable and violent. Already had a girl kick me in balls before so hard that it almost ruptured my right testicle (and I still experience pain in it today) for thinking I’m flirting with another girl. Glad I broke up with her.” – Anonymous High-schooler
A Response to Part One of This Article
“I have two sons and a daughter. Of course I want the best for my daughter, but not at the expense of my sons. We should encourage both genders to do their best and reward merit.
Demonizing anyone at a young age is unconscionable. Breaking a young child creates a broken Adult. Both genders self destruct and gravitate to bad choices. How is that better for society?” – A response to Part One on Gab.com
A Canadian Highschooler Speaks Out About Sexism
“I don’t know if rants are allowed here but my high school keeps giving out “female only” opportunities and I’m getting sick of it
Last year there was a field trip to a local museum that was optional (you had to sign up to go) but your only allowed to sign up if you were female or a “person of colour” and I live in a town that’s almost all white. There is seriously only about five people of colour in my grade, so really it was probably only white girls at the field trip.
The next thing that happened was a day of programming for girls only, recently the school has talked about opening a robotics club, for girls only. Is there anything I can do to make the school stop having these girls only events? Is this even legal?” – Anonymous High-schooler
A Response to a ‘A Canadian Highschooler Speaks Out About Sexism’
“Yeah when I was in high school there were a few girls only trips and events. My favourite was the shotgun splatter of scholarships for women, over 4 times as many as there were for men. a solid third of them had the only requirement be that you have to be a woman.
Every single scholarship men could apply for was unisex, sports related, or entirely academic performance related, requiring high 90’s in an honors/academic level class.” – Anonymous Redditor
Boys Are Punished More For The Same Misdeeds
(NOTE: This was in response to a comment made by Men Are Human staff explaining that being beaten up as a boy often got you detention for ‘fighting’, and asking if girls are also treated this way.)
“….the big difference I always noticed was that boys where constantly getting anywhere from detention to suspension, where as a girl you where lucky to get a slap on the wrist. Girls fight, and girls can be vicious, especially those from low income household. It’s just not taken that seriously, with that stereotype of the cat fight I guess.
Girls fight with girls, boys fight with boys and if a girl fights with a boy it’s usually just the girl having a full on beat down on a boy while everyone laughs. (One time) I managed to put a boy in hospital and the worst I got was a stern talking to by the vice principal.
When you got the rep for getting in fights though I found you always got a lot of the bigger girls telling you they will be waiting for you by the bike racks. I think even if it is less a problem in women it is still a problem and shouldn’t be treated as a gendered issue
I think though bulling between girls is a lot less physical and a lot more psychological/emotional, and often ends with the person giving up and turning violent… or was that just me?” – Anonymous woman, via Discord
