      This might sound like semantics over a single word but Western society was kind enough to offer another example in "Men going their own way" (bye.) which openly expresses hatred for women and see feminists & the LGBTQ community as obstacles to their goals

      An Australian piece describes it as an off-shoot of the men's rights movement (!), it's associated with the alt-right (!!), and hell one of the first suggestions for its Wiki page is antifeminism!http://www.news.com.au/lifestyle/parenting/teens/first-men-now-boys-are-going-their-own-way/news-story/7aa04498e3c2673ecd4f474573258b10 …

      Also an Italian writer was kind of enough to make the connection and describe MGTOW as being directly inspired by Japanese "herbivorism" so this isn't just me making this uphttp://d.repubblica.it/lifestyle/2016/01/12/news/sexodus_uomini_donne_giovani_separazione-2923643/?refresh_ce …

      The wiki page also has a really excellent criticism section that I'll just provide verbatim, no commentary required. It only takes 30 minutes of reading /r/theredpill (providing "discussion of sexual strategy" (!)) to see how deeply resentful and angry these men arepic.twitter.com/2zK8w3UBSo

      I'll save you the trouble of trawling the waters, it seems they were kind enough to compile a new "cheat sheet" summary of many of their "best" beliefs and posts. A quick perusing should quickly bring to light just how vile this "ideology" is https://www.reddit.com/r/TheRedPill/comments/7aoxe6/the_red_pill_cheat_sheet/?st=jg7b0o9p&sh=e900f8eb …

      Case and point: "1) Make the girls feel emotional. Not make them feel good, make them feel emotional. That means happy, sad, sexy, plain, excited, disheartened, calm, anxious 2) How to make a woman lose attraction for you: Communicate verbally with a woman"

      Circling back to the Economist article, this Men Going Their Own Way thing is exactly the same as Japanese herbivores - they're just polite enough to hide their hatred for women better than these folks.

      In summary: 1) the sex trade in Japan is (largely) legal and expanding - great! - sex work is work and this protects them 2) to the surprise of no one, men are trash and respond to feminism by finding new ways to hate women

      I'm not satisfied with how I left this. It is not enough to throw out 2) into the void and leave it at that, white men hold a lot of power and refusing to use it is a dereliction of duty - if we aren't helping to confront misogyny then who will?

      I lost the plot when starting the thread b/c of collecting sources but originally I wanted to address "herbivores" because the language we use and how we talk about a subject is important, and it turns out it was important to Alek Minassian, who carried out the van attack in TO

      He identified as an incel, and again, just choosing your name reveals a lot of your beliefs: involuntary, as if sex is something owed them by virtue of simply being a man. They talk about genetics and other causes for not finding love or sex instead of turning to introspection

          Instead of examining himself he turned to like-minded folks to talk about his experience, which would be a normal thing to do except that what they talk about is emblematic of a deep and bitter hatred for women for not giving these men something they think they are owed.

          Constantly fomenting hatred and vitriol will, in my opinion, eventually lead to dehumanizing the object of your hatred which is what we saw from this "man" on Monday. We men must not be silent in the face of their hate, we must use our privilege and position b/c who else will?

          The obvious answer is that women will do so, as a function of defensive necessity. Putting aside how fucked up that is, I RT'd a thread showing THEY HAVE BEEN (for years, no less) and were ignored, their job prospects were cut, they were harassed, and they received death threats

          One of the people I RT'd had concrete examples of this backlash! I would plug it again except their tweets are now protected, I am assuming they started getting a ton of hate for speaking up about misogyny which is TRAGICALLY ironic as that is *exactly what they were describing*

          I constantly hear that women are afraid to ride their bikes if it's near dark, they're afraid to go on dates or have lunch with coworkers in case they think it's a date, they're afraid to give out phone #'s to avoid stalkers, and now, they're afraid to walk down the street.

          They're afraid because these stories are so commonplace as to be ubiquitous - we cannot let that stand, and I'll give you an example of the impact you can have by confronting misogyny you encounter with friends, family, coworkers, whatever

          Think of women rejecting advances by saying "I have a boyfriend", and the other person leaves them alone instantly. Think about the power behind that statement, women know that saying "no" will not work so instead they invoke the boyfriend, which DOES work

          It (largely) works because men respect this imaginary man more than they respect any other rejection a woman can give. Leveraging that power, actively refuting misogynistic behavior can carry a LOT of weight with other men b/c *it comes from another man*

          New summary, 1) the sex trade in Japan is (largely) legal and expanding - great 2) men are trash and often respond to feminism by finding new ways to hate women, they should instead closely examine their values and selves: "am I a bad one?" 3) men must actively confront misogyny.

          4) 3 again - we must. We must! My heart breaks at the thought of so many people constantly spending so much time and emotional labor being afraid or avoiding violence, I cannot imagine how draining and horrifying an experience that must be.
