Are potential harms of the testosterone replacement therapy industry discussed in MRM circles?
I don't know a lot about this topic. It isn't meant to deride men who legitimately need testosterone therapy. I haven't been following MRM discussion as much in recent years. I'm wondering if there is discussion of the potential harm to men's health due to the way that TRT clinics operate.
I recently had my testosterone checked due to fatigue issues, but it turned out my testosterone was a little higher than what my provider considers to be healthy. (edit- I am not personally interested in seeking testosterone therapy, my testosterone is too high. This is just what made me think about the topic.)
When I have looked at discussions of people going to TRT clinics, some say they don't even test your testosterone levels- they just go by symptoms. I would say the symptoms that I have had could be considered symptoms of low T, so someone in my position could be given testosterone therapy when their testosterone is already too high. I'm not an expert, but it seems like this could put men at higher risk of serious health problems.

Feeling disgusted of women lately
I'm not here to particularly bash anyone but lately my view about women has gone from "woah I should impress her" to "just another soulless bitch".
As a 20year old I find this very much weird, up until last year I have seen them with utmost respect and an equal species. But since the birth of 2026 I can't see them as equal, I see them as narcissistic creatures who are only good at luring rich and influential men.
Certain events might have implanted this thought into my head, but I'm not going to discuss about that as of now.
But the overall thing is this perspective will not help me in the long run, I should respect them from bottom of my heart, not act like I respect them.
I don't even find actresses attractive or unique, I see them as another soul sucking empty creature. Porn might have slightly influenced this perspective on me, but in overall this is a broader phenomenon than just porn.
When a rich dude or good looking dude flirts its called flirting, rizzing. But when a mediocre looking, middleclass lad flirts it's called borderline harrasment. As a man I never respect or judge humans based on their looks and financial level but when the opp sex does this it kinda infuriates me.
If anyone got advise please tell

Men, do not be fooled.
Extreme “feminists” in the United States are clever enough to bypass laws and the justice system, doing things to harm men, without having to face repercussions for their actions. The laws of men are flawed, the very laws that are designed to protect society they have chosen to exploit for their own selfish agenda.
They constantly ACT like they are doing what they do out of goodness, for justice, for equality, retribution, etc. I am telling you here and now, that this is nothing more than deception to prevent themselves from being labeled for what they truly are. Evil.
They are bad people, wolves in sheep’s clothing. Pretending like they are justified in what they do, in order to get away with it. We might sympathize with them more if we believe they’re just helpless, naive beings that are too emotional. Nothing could be further from the truth.
They know what they are doing. They know we suffer. They know it’s wrong. And they are enjoying themselves. Do not make any mistake about it.
They are creating division within our country, trying to destroy everything, not for equality, but because they are high on the “power” that they have at this moment in time.
Make no mistake about it. Things will change, but men need to stop being silent, stop being complacent. Step up, complain, point out injustice when it occurs to you. If your HR department doesn’t care about the group of women at work making your life difficult, file a lawsuit. If women want to normalize these “mean girls” style cliques within society, to make men miserable then we need to file claims, and eventually it will become a known phenomenon that businesses/institutions will want to avoid, and policy will begin to change and our lives will improve. But we need to speak up. We need to be loud, and we need to fight this because our very lives and the future of this country depends on it.
They want you to submit quietly and suffer them, it brings them joy. The male suicide epidemic, the homelessness, the addiction, it’s all a byproduct of this sick society that does not care.
We need to face this together, do not be embarrassed, or ashamed. Bring attention to this whenever it affects you, make noise. You will always have people here to support you, and one day the world will be a different place.
This is our trial, and we must face it.

Mainstream narrative still largely lives in the 50-70s
Saw a post earlier pointing out how whenever a young man can sustain himself he isn’t celebrated socially as being an “independent man” that’s just seen as what he should do, and the comment section was flooded with people saying that it’s an “incel take” and that “women weren’t allowed to open bank accounts and were historically forced to depend on the man”.
IT IS NO LONGER THE 50-70s!!! Ffs women in current day are the majority in college/university, and in many sectors outearn men, young women have the same opportunities as young men now in 2026, the difference being that young women grow up with massive mainstream cultural narrative power on their side by default. Many young men grow up being told to suppress or minimise themselves and to not be proud their gender, and I see a lot of online content subtly communicating that men are not worthy of affection by default, like this comic strip depicting a trans woman on a date with another woman and the woman initiating intimacy first because “they used to initiate affection all the time as a man so now it’s finally time for them to receive it now that they’re a woman”. This type of stuff is very degrading to see as a young man and it subconsciously tells them they’re not inherently worthy of basic human connection.

I couldn’t help but think how much trouble I d be in if I said the same things. I work with all women and they were saying the dad’s name was the same as a condominium brand and they’d like to take him in back and bust that condom.

financially drained by her.
As for me? I lost my job a few weeks after I started dating the woman who is now my wife, and it had zero negative impact on her feelings toward me. Why? Because she understood that I needed some time to get back on my feet. While I was looking for a new job we still went on dates, either cheap dates planned by me. I think I knew then that she was special, because the fact that I needed to save money and not spend it on expensive dates didn't make me less attractive to her. We laughed at each other's jokes, had enough interests in common to enjoy things together but enough diverging interests to have our own space, and the sex was great. Money wasn't on her mind.
Her mature self-responsibility also bled into the rest of her relationship ethos and made her a better girlfriend (and later wife) all around. She is fair. She knows when to apologize instead of starting a fight to make sure she is always "right". She has never used any of the insecurities or emotional vulnerabilities I've revealed to her against me. She's there for me just as much as I'm there for her. She doesn't demand anything that she wouldn't be willing to return. The sex is still great. She will initiate it just as often as I do, and is just as proactively physical during sex as I am.
I know I'm just drawing from my own life and a statistically non-conclusive sample size of people that I know, but I'm noticing a pretty strong pattern here. Stop believing the women who claim that it's normal for them to never pay for anything, never listen to your wants and needs, and never need to give their man emotional support. It's not normal. Women who can and do pull their weight are out there, you just need to avoid broke girls like the plague.
Don't try to attract women by signaling superficial wealth and luxury, you might as well bleed in front of a shark. Don't indulge Cinderella fantasies about "saving" a girl who will be eternally grateful to you for economically elevating her, she won't be grateful, she may even see you as an ATM machine and not as a human. Don't assume that focusing on your finances and career will improve your dating prospects; if all you have to offer is money, all you will attract is women who want your money. Don't entertain women who think cheap first dates aren't "real dates". Don't date women who aren't employed, or at least getting education/job training. Don't date women who don't have a plan for their career. Don't date women who've never paid their own bills before. Most of all? Don't talk to girls who can somehow afford expensive clothes and accessories but can't afford a car or their own Uber ride to meet you.
TL;DR: Every man I know who married or long-term dated a financially stable and educated woman is in a happy relationship and every woman I know who never expected men to pay their bills and pay for every date went on to be in happy marriages. Every woman I know who chased men for money ended up with a sour love life, and every man I know who stayed with broke and entitled women ended up with nightmare relationships to emotional/financial parasites. DON'T DATE BROKE WOMEN.

Dear women of the subreddit/female MRAs: based on your experiences of interacting with other women, how common is it for women to have compassion towards male suffering?
I ask because it doesn't seem very common on the surface, but I wonder whether that's because women don't want to be called pick-me's or become an outcast. In reality, do you think a substantial proportion of women are compassionate towards men's issues and male suffering?
If men want to give their perspective, that's of course welcomed as well. I was just asking women in the title because maybe they'd have a different understand since they're women themselves.

Gaming is a vital frontier (unfortunately) in the struggle (if it's even happening) to stop feminist revisionism & attempts to conquer male spaces
Over the past two decades with the tremendous rise of the gaming industry, gaming has gone from being an almost entirely male hobby to a significantly less male-associated hobby. Since it's something that can appeal to anyone, more women have either started gaming or gone public with their status as avid gamers. Streamers and the such. Not a bad thing at all, gaming's an excellent pastime.
However, this does entail the risk of certain hostile anti-male trends being kickstarted in the broader gaming space and I doubt most female gamers will have what it takes to resist becoming (even unwittingly) the multipliers for these trends.
And like the title says, this will likely involve the archetypically feminist practice of revisionism to back up the general 24/7 red alert they'll be raising over "misogyny in gaming". Basically, feminists will converge on the gaming space, reaching out to female gamers (streamers for example) to push the idea that it was gamer misogyny that kept women away from gaming in order to keep the space 'monopolized' for men.
This'll be, like a plethora of other contemporary feminist claims/stances, a complete travesty of the truth and a concealment of the reality which is kinda the opposite. Which is that women historically regarded gaming as an icky hobby characteristic of low-status/loser males and equated gamers with losers and unattractive slobs. Not all women (duh) but this was definitely the single largest female opinion type on gaming.
I really think that, given the ease with which female gamers (esp if they're attractive) amass big followings on Twitch, Twitter etc, this propaganda will spread quite quickly and any blowback will be cited as "growing incel presence in gaming".
This'll be really shitty for a lot of guys since gaming has historically provided a lot of dudes an excellent break and/or escape from society.

Crude jokes about circumcision
Today I heard women make crude jokes about male circumcision, in public, to their male friend. Of course nobody batted an eye.
It's okay for women to joke about that and, when men debate abortion, they're told "nO uTeRuS, nO oPiNiOn". Abortion, by the way, is an issue that impacts men so much more than male circumcision impacts women (especially since men lack their own reproductive rights).

The case of Kingsman's removal from the Marvel Rivals Tournament is a perfect example of women's in-group bias and the women-are-wonderful effect
This is blowing up now (even an NBA team made a post including it), but in case you don't know about this debacle:
>A content creator named Kingsman, a college student, participated in a Marvel Rivals tournament with a significant ($40k) prize pool.
>Kingsman was placed on a team with players who were not taking the competition seriously. Specifically, a teammate ("zazza", a woman) reportedly played one character exclusively (a "1-trick") and refused to switch to help the team win.
>After Kingsman requested team composition changes to win the money, he was bullied and harassed by teammates, including team captain "cece", a woman.
>The tournament host (Basim, a man) kicked Kingsman out of the tournament based on "evidence" provided by the teammates who were harassing him.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Women-are-wonderful\_effect
>...This research found that while both women and men have more favorable views of women, women's in-group biases were 4.5 times stronger than those of men. Furthermore, only women (not men) showed cognitive balance among in-group bias, identity, and self-esteem, revealing that men lack a mechanism that bolsters automatic preference for their own gender...
Tl:Dr: A team full of female players bullied and harassed a male player, but the event host removed the male player instead.

My Problem With "Benevolent Sexism" and "Male Privilege"
I took a Social Psychology class this semester (I have to take a psych course for my degree) and I learned a new term, "Benevolent Sexism"- the idea that things that positive traits and actions are sexist. I've noticed things that benefit women are framed negatively, ex: a man paying for her meal as sexist, framing the privilege as secondary to the sexism while focusing on men's privileges while ignoring the costs. ex: men get higher pay than women (ignoring the disproportionately high male workplace deaths) It's just a way to keep the oppressor/oppressed narrative.

Deconstructing Femininity
Hey, I came to an epiphany last night about feminism, masculinity, and femininity.
Feminism states verbatim that its goal is to tear down patriarchy by deconstructing masculinity. And feminism also claims to want strict gender equality. But seems reluctant to hold the same blowtorch to traditional femininity, like an old faded wedding dress they no longer fit into but like to take out of the closet and hold up to the mirror and pretend they are young again. I think feminism may recognize the damage psychology tells us this endless criticism of gender identity has caused for men, but I’m assuming not considering they are continuing that onslaught on male identity unabated.
So I think we need to help feminism deconstruct femininity and give them a gentle push off that cliff because I think a key factor in the current tension in society is that one gender identity is under constant criticism and the other is completely free from criticism. Feminism would describe this as men being less tethered to traditional masculinity because feminism deconstructed/destroyed it for us, (gee thanks!) and I think we should help them free women from traditional femininity and cut that tether such that it can never be remade.
The pillars of virtue within traditional femininity as I see them are:
- Motherhood
- Beauty
- Empathy
- Goodness
Motherhood can be reunderstood within a world of overpopulation and ecological destruction as an existentially gluttonous and narcissistic act, gobbling up all of the resources and sacrificing the future of the planet just so the feminine can make more copies of themselves.
Feminine beauty can similarly be recontextualized within a world where we know the lengths the feminine routinely go to in an effort to enhance their beauty. They use anti-aging skin creams on their faces which are made from the private parts of baby boys bodies.
Empathy is often weaponized. When you are told how you feel, or told that your feelings are due to misunderstandings, or that feminine feelings are somehow more valid, you are experiencing the antisocial side of feminine empathy. It is not a virtue to be able to read others emotions when that information is used to control and abuse.
The concept of WAW comes from the feminine relational morality which really just asks the basic question “is everyone happy? And if not, are the right people happy?” This tends to work well in small groups and completely falls apart at scale. It is a low functioning people pleasing form of morality that should be widely understood as genuinely inferior to universal rules.
My understanding from feminism is that to deconstruct (destroy) a thing you only need to criticize it endlessly. Because by criticizing it repeatedly you reduce it to something worthy of constant criticism and inherently degrade it in the eyes of others. If it is something we consider sacred, like masculine stoicism or feminine motherhood, endless criticism wipes that sacred varnish off and makes it mundane, and killable.
So I invite you all to join me in this quest to find and compile the best legitimate criticisms of traditional femininity with regard to its actual value to humanity, and try to strip away all sentimentality. We need to develop a script we can repeat at scale that will articulately question the value of traditional femininity. Let’s burn that dress!

Men are, for practical purposes, their own "out-group".
What I mean is that if men generally have an out-group bias, their support and compassion is directed away from 'the male bloc'. In effect, men become other men's out-group when it comes to really crucial things like support, compassion, advocacy and so on.
Note: I know this doesn't apply to all men and in every single circumstance but this is overall the case.

Serious advice for men: Don't date broke women
An observation, along with some advice. I've heard a lot of guys mention that men don't care about how much money their potential girlfriends and wives make when choosing a partner, and they mention it almost like it's a brag. I understand the virtue of placing humanity and raw attraction over money and socioeconomic class, but I really think more men need to start caring.
Most women want to oppose traditional gender roles, but a certain type of woman stops opposing them the moment that duties typically shouldered by men come up. Avoid this type of woman. In fact, avoid all women who are strongly invested in the idea of any duty men toward them that they would never reciprocate, including "trad" types, they are delusional parasites. We're at a point of civilizational advancement where there are enough educational and economic opportunities for women for them to not depend financially on men. Anyone who refuses to adapt to that reality is not a reasonable person. You shouldn't date them, or embody their beliefs yourself.
Women who have their shit together don't have to stake their future on the belief in male financial duty toward them. They can see you for your humanity because they are grown-up enough to realize that your financial prosperity comes from your job and not your boyfriend. Have you ever noticed what all those girls who think first dates need to be over $100 to be a "real date" tend to have in common? They're usually broke. They might dress fancy, but the girls obsessing about the amount of money men spend on dates are usually financially dependent on men, in heavy credit card debt, and financially unstable. Women with a 401k aren't sitting around with their friends squawking about how cheap a guy was on a simple first date.
Women who are willing to pay for dates are a green flag. Almost every girl and woman I've ever dated since I was in high school has been willing to pay for dates at least some of the time. My first girlfriend was excited to use the money from her first job to take me to a concert. The upper-class girl I dated my in college paid for every single date for the first two months of our relationship simply because she understood it was stupid for a young girl with a trust fund to expect a 19 year old with a part-time job to pay for everything just because he was a guy and she was a girl.
I avoid women who see dating as a route to economic gain, and the results have been great. The only woman I dated who fixated on how much I spent on dates and insisted that I plan out and pay for absolutely everything was emotionally abusive. When we broke up she started dating a man who was 56 years old (we were both 21) and got abused herself, followed by two hasty marriages to military guys that lead to hasty divorces, then a third marriage and divorce to a much older single dad who also divorced her. She is now 33 years old and three times divorced, and I am happily married to a woman I've been with for seven years.
My exes who were willing to take me out? They're all in great relationships. My high school girlfriend who would take me out with money from her part-time job married the very next guy she dated and they're happy with kids, 16 years later. My rich trust-fund college girlfriend? She's now a highly paid aircraft engineer, and happily married to a guy she started dating in her mid-20s. Her husband is a wildlife tour guide who makes less money than her but she doesn't give a shit because he has qualities that she loves (adventurous spirit, humor, kindness, joyfulness) and they're financially fine. My other exes who didn't chase men for money are all doing great too. Either married or in long-term relationships, pursing careers for money and romantic relationships for meaning (and not the other way around). As for others in my life, I see the same pattern. My friend who married a lawyer is happy with his relationship and loved by his wife, my friend who married a dropout who couldn't keep a job for more than a year gets nagged and

A Man’s Right To Have A Say Without Moderation by Feminists
Here’s the hot take: if a woman gets to decide whether to keep a pregnancy or not, then men should have the same right to choose if they want to be a father.
Why is this even controversial? If you didn’t agree to be a parent, why should you be forced to pay for a kid for 18+ years? Men getting financially tied to a child they didn’t want is the exact opposite of choice.
The conversation shouldn’t just be about abortion—it should go back to family planning and actual rights for both people involved. Men and women both have skin in the game, and both should get a say.
This isn’t about being lazy or avoiding responsibility—it’s about fairness and consent in reproduction. If society acknowledges a woman’s bodily autonomy, it’s only logical that a man should get autonomy over his wallet, life, and choices too.
