Mean Girls and Feminists: Is There a Difference?
Tom Golden, Dec 05, 2024
In a previous post, we explored why men often choose not to fight back against women. Many reasons tie back to their biologically and socially driven desire for social status. Men tend to carefully assess conflicts, aiming to maximize gains while minimizing losses. Maintaining high status, especially within hierarchical structures, requires significant effort. These dynamics—marked by unexpected rises and falls—have shaped men’s behavior for generations.
However, beginning in the 1970s, feminists began weaponizing gynocentrism, using it as a protective shield while directing hateful accusations at men. If men were to treat women similarly, they would face immediate chastisement and punishment. Instead, feminists exploited their societal gynocentric privilege destructively, prioritizing their own agendas.
Initially, this hostility manifested in labels like “chauvinists” or “pigs.” Over time, unchecked accusations escalated, with men increasingly blamed for nearly every difficulty feminists perceived. Consider the many labels feminists have used to describe men over the years:
- Chauvinists
- Oppressors
- Patriarchs
- Privileged
- Deadbeat dads
- Pigs
- Misogynists
- Rapists
- Abusers
- Incels
- Toxic
Now, imagine if men’s groups conjured similar names for women. How long would such groups last? Would they garner media support? Not a chance. Gynocentrism allows feminists to spew hatred without consequence, often gaining widespread backing.
