Misogyny kills; misandry h̶u̶r̶t̶s̶ f̶e̶e̶l̶i̶n̶g̶s̶ kills at scale
I wrote a long essay focused on the argument that misandry kills way more than misogyny:
Misogyny kills; misandry h̶u̶r̶t̶s̶ f̶e̶e̶l̶i̶n̶g̶s̶ kills at scale
I kindly ask for your feedback.
Here is an excerpt:
Is it possible we have developed an institutional blind spot for negative social norms affecting men?
There is an instrument that should answer exactly such a question. The OECD’s Social Institutions and Gender Index (SIGI) seeks to measure discrimination embedded in informal laws and social norms:
>Formal and informal laws, social norms and practices fundamentally dictate what women and men are allowed to do, what they are expected to do, and in the end what they do.
The SIGI examines twenty-five indicators across four broad dimensions, ranging from family law to physical integrity and economic resources.
Twenty-five indicators measure discrimination affecting women and girls.
Zero indicators measure discrimination affecting men and boys.
As the authors explain, indicators are capped at 50%, meaning that male disadvantage is not recorded if women perform better than men.
The United Nations’ Gender Social Norms Index (GSNI) takes a similar approach. Published every year, the index claims to break down gender biases and shift social norms towards gender equality. Drawing on data from the World Values Survey, it compiles seven indicators of gender bias against women and girls and none against men and boys.
The SIGI and GSNI do not deny that harmful social norms affect men;
They refuse to look at them.
This leads to a sad paradox. Institutions established to identify harmful gender norms become the pinnacle of the very phenomenon they seek to measure.

Feminist scholar Carla Pascoe Leahy cooks up that "women are 14 times more likely to die in a climate disaster than men"
Year 2024
Notable feminist
Carla Pascoe Leahy is a feminist scholar
Toxic deed
In a pro-feminist magazine, The Conversation, boasting the label "Academic rigour, journalistic flair", Leahy wrote that Women are 14 times more likely to die in a climate disaster than men. It’s just one way climate change is gendered
Citing a UNDP blog as a source, Leahy dropped "... and children" and kept only "women" in comparison to men, and made up the "climate" disaster qualifier. Putting the rigor into "academic rigor", Leahy failed to notice that UNDP made the statistic up.

Aurore Bergé, former French Minister for Equality between Women and Men and for the Fight against Discriminations, argues that opening a domestic violence helpline to a male victims would undermine its purpose
Year 2026
Notable feminist
Aurore Bergé, a former French Minister for Equality between Women and Men and for the Fight against Discriminations is a Feminist Diplomat.
Toxic deed
"Opening the 3919 helpline to a mixed audience would effectively undermine its fundamental purpose and dilute the specialized response provided to female victims. Such a shift would also risk weakening the awareness-raising message aimed at the general public by obscuring the systemic nature of violence against women and the gender dynamics at play in domestic violence."
Instead, they invite men to call 2 other helplines, one being for victims of an offense (crimes against property or persons, traffic accidents, mass-casualty incidents, terrorist attacks or a natural disaster), and the other for general legal aid, and even recommend specialized associations, such as SOS Homophobia (?!).

Mainstream research & mainstream media go full redpill: "only high-earning men are suitable partners for college-educated women"
The blatant hypocrisy on this one is through the roof.
A mainstream media outlet, The Independent, writes that only men who are college-educated or high-earning are suitable partners for women.
The article ends with a double-bind, lamenting that "rough financial times are likely ahead for Gen Z and millennial females (sic)" facing both the lack of high-earning men and the gender pay gap at the same time!
I mean, what? [Insert 2008 fucket up head meme]
College-educated women face shrinking pool of suitable men to marry, study finds | The Independent
---
The study itself, published by the National Bureau of Economic Research, calls men who do not earn enough not viable:
>“College-educated women have maintained stable marriage rates by partnering with high-earning non-college men, shrinking the pool of economically viable partners available to non-college women,” the study said.
Low-earning men are then described as "less marriageable".
In a rather laugh-or-you'll-cry moment, the researchers end up echoing the "women most affected" meme:
>Taken together, the evidence suggests that deteriorating outcomes for men have primarily undermined the marriage prospects of non-college women.

Going forward, the UN Women organisation will count as a feminist organisation
I originally excluded UN Women and its sexist excesses from this sub, since, for political reasons, UN Women refuses to explicitly label itself a feminist organisation.
But the excesses keep piling up.
When Google AI insists UN Women is a feminist organisation, who am I to disagree?
>So is un women a feminist organisation or it is not? Your answers are ambiguous.
Yes, UN Women is definitively a feminist organization. [1, 2]
The confusion comes from a difference between ideological alignment and legal status.
The clear breakdown of that link is structured as follows:
- Ideologically: Yes, they are linked
UN Women explicitly bases its mission on feminist ideology. They publicly promote a feminist lens to analyze society, openly champion intersectional feminism, and state that their 2026–2029 operations are directly guided by the vision and energy of women’s rights movements. In terms of goals, values, and language, UN Women is a feminist entity. [1, 2, 3]
- Organizationally: They are partners, not the same thing
UN Women cannot be "officially part" of the global feminist movement because feminism is a decentralized social movement, not a club with an official membership list. UN Women is a formal bureaucracy created by governments. Therefore, the organization does not belong to feminism; rather, it acts as the institutional partner that funds, supports, and legislates on behalf of feminist movements. [1, 2]
- Diplomatic Vocabulary: The source of ambiguity
Because UN Women is governed by a board of UN member states—some of whom are deeply conservative or anti-feminist—the agency must remain a neutral diplomatic space. This is why you will see them frequently use neutral legal phrases like "gender equality" and "women's empowerment" in their official governing treaties, rather than exclusively using the word "feminism." They use diplomatic language to ensure hostile governments still sign their treaties. [1]
Summary
To put it simply: UN Women is an international government agency, but its engine, its ideology, its goals, and its partners are entirely feminist. [1]
>Is there any actual authoritative evidence that UN Women is linked with feminism? and no, the fact that they have What Is Feminism article is not evidence of anything.
Yes. If an educational article is set aside, the official, authoritative evidence linking UN Women to feminism is found within its formal institutional frameworks: its multi-billion dollar operational coalitions, its official Strategic Plans, its binding funding mechanisms, and its governing audit metrics. [1]
The most rigorous, authoritative evidence of this link operates across four specific areas:
- The Multi-Billion Dollar "Generation Equality" Mandate
UN Women is the founder and official secretariat of Generation Equality, a massive global partnership model spanning 2021–2026. [1, 2]
- The Evidence: In its official 2026 reporting compendium, UN Women explicitly defines Generation Equality as a "feminist, intergenerational, multistakeholder partnership model." [1]
- The Scale: This is not a public relations campaign; it is a formal operational framework that has mobilized $50.3 billion in pledged financing and directed $21 billion in expenditures specifically toward systemic, feminist policy reform. [1]
- Formally Binding Institutional Strategic Plans
A United Nations agency’s core legal directive is dictated by its multi-year Strategic Plan, which must be reviewed and approved by its Executive Board.
- The Evidence: UN Women's formal blueprint for global operations—the UN Women Strategic Plan 2026–2029—explicitly embeds feminist methodologies into its core strategy. [1]
- The Language: The formal text of the document details that UN Women's operational tactics rely heavily on "feminist research, movement-building," and a legal obligation to "secure sustainable funding for feminist movements" globally. [1]
- Legal and Operational Funding Mechanisms
UN Women directly manages the UN Trust Fund to End Violence against Women, a major international grant-making mechanism. [1, 2, 3, 4]
- The Evidence: The legally binding Strategic Plan 2021–2025 and the successive Strategic Plan 2026–2030 for this Trust Fund explicitly state that a core, measurable objective of the fund is to "help feminist movements grow globally."
- The Action: Rather than remaining abstract, the agency actively channels tens of millions of dollars of official development assistance (ODA) directly into civil society networks that are explicitly vetted and labeled as autonomous feminist organizations. [1, 2, 3]
- Official Internal Audit and Evaluation Systems
How an organization measures its own performance provides definitive proof of its structural alignment.
- The Evidence: When auditing the success of its global programs, UN Women employs an official, formalized metric system known as Feminist Collaborative Evaluation.
- The Audit Framework: As detailed in its 2024 institutional data reports, UN Women does not use standard, neutral corporate auditing. It requires its investigators to evaluate local community impact specifically through a "feminist lens" that prioritizes redistributing power to marginalized groups. [1]
Summary
The authoritative proof is budgetary and structural. UN Women writes feminist objectives into its governing Strategic Plans, audits its own staff using feminist evaluation frameworks, and actively distributes billions of dollars earmarked explicitly to scale up global feminist movements.

2026 UK Study: consistent “pro-girl” bias in teacher grade predictions harm boy's university admission chances
The study: Tracing the origins of teacher gender bias - ScienceDirect
University of Cambridge cover article: Gender gap in predicted grades raises questions over their use in university admissions | University of Cambridge
Notably, the only "mainstream" medium covering this is the "tabloid" The Daily Mail. The post in the main UK subreddit reached a decent 1.4k upvotes: Teachers ruin boys' university chances because they underestimate A-level grades, study says | Daily Mail Online
From the University of Cambridge article:
>The research, by academics at the Universities of Cambridge and Bristol, found a consistent “pro-girl” gap in teacher predictions across 10 A-Level subjects. Depending on the subject, girls were between 3% and 11% likelier than boys to have their grades overpredicted, and between 15% and 41% less likely to have them underpredicted.
---
Could someone more knowledgeable explain the following part?
>We conclude our analysis by incorporating all observable student attributes and scholastic skills simultaneously as statistical controls in column 9 of Table 5 (full results provided in Appendix Table A.9). The estimates closely mirror those in column 8, suggesting that once cross-disciplinary competence is controlled for, additional observable characteristics explain little further variation in predicted grades.
>A clear pattern emerges in the residual gender differences, summarised in Fig. 3. In the baseline specification, girls receive higher predicted grades in both STEM and non-STEM subjects. After conditioning on the full set of observable characteristics, the gender gap in non-STEM subjects is substantially reduced, while in STEM subjects it reverses in favour of boys. This contrast highlights how the structure of residual differences differs across specifications and subject groups
>We interpret these results with caution. Although our controls capture a wide range of observable determinants of achievement, unobserved factors may contribute to the remaining gaps. Therefore, the results should not be interpreted as definitive evidence of discrimination, but rather as reflecting systematic, subject-specific differences that are consistent with gendered patterns in expectations.

How quartz kitchen counters are silently killing men...
Every day, it feels like I discover a new, tragic thing that is quietly killing countless numbers of men, in terrible and unknown ways.
And this time, it could be something in your house right now.
Quartz kitchen worktops have exploded onto the home renovation scene - a manufactured product that looks and feels like natural stone, but costs much less.
It sounds like a dream product.
And so, right across social media, home improvement gurus, interior decorators, and domestic goddesses film themselves showing off their latest quartz kitchen worktops; entirely unaware of the fact that the manufacture of such engineered stone costs numerous men their lives, right across the world.
How?
Well, sanding and cutting these innovative new products creates dust that, when inhaled, permanently scars the lungs, causing a fatal disease ‘silicosis’, for which there is no cure.
Stonemasons, even in their twenties, are developing this disease and dying, so someone else can save a few quid on their new kitchen, and yet… nobody wants to talk about it.
Besides Australia, that is, who, after a spate of deaths in young masons, has outright banned these products.
America could well be next. Hundreds of doctors, as part of the ‘Western Occupational and Environmental Medical Association’, have signed an open letter demanding a ban – insisting that manufactured stone cannot be worked with safely, and needs to go.
Murmurs have been heard in the UK too, with all the major construction unions standing up and demanding change, and pressuring Westminster to debate the issue.
So why is nobody talking about a product that could quite literally be right beneath your nose, that is killing stonemasons at enormous scales?
Is it time to ban manufactured stone?
What do you think?

Year 2026
Notable feminist
>Ikkimel grew rapidly in prominence as a voice for a new-generation feminist awakening.
Toxic deed
>The "I" in Ikkimel's songs is "not a fictional character," Strauß told the German newspaper "Die Zeit" in November, but rather a disguise for the purpose of exaggeration. "When I rap 'fuck all men,' I obviously don't mean that as Melina,"
>And the method is: show them what misogyny feels like by reversing the roles.
>"It's time men were afraid," Ikkimel said recently at the Polyton Awards ceremony.
>Not everyone can see the meaning and depth in Ikkimel's actions. One feminist colleague sees her as an advocate for "women being better than men – and that achieves nothing."
>Rapper Ikkimel: "It makes me proud to be this hate figure."
>Why does female assertiveness trigger so much aggression in some men, and why does it frighten other women?
If you've lived with privilege your whole life and then suddenly women come along and stop begging for the same privileges, it bothers you. Because then men quickly feel like something is being taken away from them, even though women just want the same things.
