It really brought into my own anger issues with women that needed healing on a deeper level, and the comments sections amounted to guys who hate women going mental about them which doesn't help your mindset. It's better than the meowmeow stuff by society atleast, but it's just the opposite extreme.
I started to feel way better when I stopped reading it. Occasionally I might some, but then I start to feel depressed, as it makes you start to think the stuff they complain about is happening everywhere which it isn't. I've also found recently a few of the prominent people in that area have gone off the deep end.
The issue is it's hard to find good resources that is balanced. Alot of 'masculinity' teaching is absolutely horrible and then men teaching it have no masculinity at all that you can identify.
I mean i'm not really into reading 'material' anymore, but sometimes I feel like I want something to balance out the other ***** that I see come up that's attacking men and disgusting men who will never need their penis or testicles trying to bring down other men in the hopes that some woman might one day pat them on the back and be like 'oh you're a good boy, who's a good boy'.
Yeah, I think for myself I got majorly into that stuff during a version of DMSI where I was majorly resisting it. I thought at first it wasn't but it became apparent I was just reveling in that stuff to try to resist it at the time. I got out of it like I said though as well because I just saw the hypocrisy and I really hate hypocrisy. I would see these guys in a discord beating their chest about how "red pilled" they are and they don't take no crap from anyone then a women would come seeking attention in the discord and they would act beta to all hell. There was one guy in particular I remember who was notorious for this. Preaching at other guys to be more like him while we saw him act beta as all hell to any women who came into the discord (he was one of the admins as well I might add). There was one time he even had the audacity to say that if all the men would act like him the country would be doing a lot better rofl. After that I and one other guy I talk to just stopped going to that discord.
As for the other type of guy you mentioned towards the end I can't stand those types at all. I think they seriously lack some self respect and don't realize those same women don't respect them for what they are doing and they will just as easily destroy them in the end as well. I don't know if you heard this story but there was an update to it that kind of illustrates this. I think it was a year and half ago the co-creator of Screen Junkies (responsible for Honest Trailers) got accused of some things by a women. He lost his job, got divorced I think, and in general got blacklisted by the industry. He did take his former company to court and they recently settled with him. It was soon found out why though. He actually had text messages and a whole bunch of evidence showing that what went on went on for a while actually and was consensual.
When this was found out this particular lady got blasted on social media and her only response was that she knew what "her truth" was and that she wasn't going to waste anymore energy on this. Basically she got found out for intentionally lying about a serious matter and was trying to ignore it now. What is telling about this story though in regards to your comment is what her boyfriend did. She literally was cheating on him during that whole thing was going on then lied to him by saying it was forced on her. Now that its revealed that she lied and was intentionally cheating what does he do? He backs her up and defends her and says the guy in question is still not a decent guy. I couldn't believe it myself that a guy could have such low self respect that he just takes it that his women cheated on him, lied to him that it was forced on her, proceeded to destroy another guy's life, and then when she is found out to have lied about everything just forgives her and defends her. I don't know what is with these type of guys that they just take this stuff from women and just stay with them.
