The Misandry Diaries, Chapter 1 : Hear Me Rant.

 I'm sick of alpha males

These alpha males always talk about “hustling” (getting £10 a week through Bitcoin), gym ( 5 limp RDL’S and then taking a picture in the floor-length gym mirror because they don’t have physical strength) and how females ( not women, females) are the spawn of Satan and the common enemy of men, but they swear they’re not gay, yeah fucking right.  

The personalities on those alpha male podcasts are so jarring. Alpha males are self-absorbed and narrow-minded, pushing this outdated idea of what it means to be a man because they see manhood as arrogance and loud, brash opinions while ignoring the complexities of modern masculinity. 

In a man’s world, to be an alpha male is to be a thing to aspire toward and admire.  

. here's a question for you guys - if you hate women, who will you marry? 

You say you're straight but if you hate women so much how will you marry one? 

The image of “alpha male” focuses so much on a man and what men can do. They love the idea of being alpha males more than being in a relationship with a woman. I have an idea - date each other! You hate women so much, but you love alpha males? Date them! No woman wants your shiny bald head and grotesque muscles bro, if you love being a man so much date one. We will not care either way.  

 Intellect or gossip???? 

Men talk too much. When you give them a rented room, some microphones and a group of friends they start to spew bullshit. 

Do the men in these podcasts genuinely believe that they are smart chatting shit about women and gym for hours?  

It makes me laugh knowing that they think sitting in a rented room with an Amazon microphone gossiping with their friends is so important, as if they're educating people.  

Is there research and thought behind these topics or do they just sit down and start chatting shit?  

I watched a male podcast as a means of research and one podcast was two men discussing the different types of shit’s a man takes, ranking their top best shits based on consistency, time taken to finish and splashback. Sweet Jesus.  

They're idiots. I know that from a podcast episode titled “When To Not Use Condoms' '.  

men with male podcasts lack a higher level of intelligence, simply because they believe that they are intelligent. 

Some podcasts talk mostly about shallow topics like “2 Edging Techniques to Build Stamina” or “Fathering Children from Multiple Women” (actual titles for podcast episodes by the way) and Men Eat. It. Up.   What value does it genuinely bring to their lives? How does this motivate them? 

I can't get into the mindset of someone who listens to these podcasts, I wouldn't know where to start. But honestly? These podcasts don't have an iota of common sense or logic. Why do men like them so much?? It's not as if these men are teaching them ways to invest in their futures or become better people, they’re just spitting nonsense.   

What is the actual purpose of these podcasts? 

Andrew Motherfucking Tate  

Andrew Tate is a dangerous man. He's influenced masses of men to be discriminatory against women simply because they're men.  

His entire personality is showing off his daddy’s money and sports cars and talking about the multitudes of women he’s slept with (I don’t believe he’s slept with that many women, he looks like the rat from Flushed Away).  

I googled some of his quotes for research purposes and now I feel physically

He is, in basic terms, the father of alpha males. His lifestyle and views created this subculture - the shine from his bald head hypnotised crowds of men to be stupid, primal dipshits. I hate Andrew Tate more than any of the alpha males who roam the internet, but Tate uses misogyny as a mass weapon. 

In videos online, Tate has said that women are a man's property, belong in the home and cannot drive. He’s also admitted that he only dates women aged 18-19 because he can "make an imprint" on them. In one clip, he said: "I'm not a rapist, but I like the idea of just being able to do what I want. I like being free." 

Tate’s videos represent rape culture, minimizing rape and sexual violence while blaming survivors for crimes against them. At the moment he’s facing charges of rape and trafficking in Romania, but him and his loyal army of misogynistic monsters still see him as a hero, and an icon in the “movement of men”. If you truly believe Tate was framed, here are some things he’s said about women and rape in the past two years: 

“If you put yourself in a position to be r***d, you must bare [sic] some responsibility.” 

“One of the best things about being a man is being territorial and being able to say, ‘that is mine.'” 

“Females are the ultimate status symbol. People think I’m running around with these hoes because I like sex. That’s nothing to do with the reason why I’m running around with these bitches. I got these bitches just so everyone knows who the don is.” 

CALL SOMEBODY, GET THIS MAN OFF THE STREETS! 

the effect of male podcasts on the younger generation  

Young men are the most easily influenced people EVER. That is why footballers are their idols, footballers make quotes, sell posters and have a signature hairstyle that a young man is inspired by for the rest of his life. Men inspire other men. With this new generation of male podcasts and their growing popularity, more and more teenagers are going to be pressured into adopting the ‘alpha male’ personality, making the new generation of men full-blown misogynists who will view their sisters, female classmates, and even their mothers as “barely sentient beings” who they own. It terrifies me. Men are going back to believing that women are below them and they have the right to dominate women. Additionally, instead of wanting to have a genuine relationship with a woman, they focus only on portraying themselves as the dominator in the relationship and only seeing their partners as future housewives.  (My boyfriend’s friend asked if I cook for him. Cook for who????) 

Young boys need positive male role models to grow into upstanding citizens and gentlemen. The men on these podcasts reinforce harmful stereotypes, potentially leading young boys to internalise damaging ideals about masculinity, relationships, and self-worth. Additionally listening to "alpha male" podcasts can make young boys think of women as less important, only for dating or conquest, which can lead to disrespect and unfair treatment of girls their age, affecting how they build relationships and view gender equality. 

Men are not the problem, that's not what I’m trying to say; it's this new subculture of arseholes who are fuelled by these podcasts and the ideals pushed at them. I believe that somewhere out there, there are men who aren’t blinded by toxic masculinity who are disgusted as much as we are by the views of their peers.  

However, I can’t rely on  men to tell other men what to do. I can drown these views out.  

To all my ladies reading this, men can’t even begin to understand the shit we've been through.  This isn't new for us. Until the 70s women couldn't own bank accounts without a husband. We were mocked for joining Parliament, reduced to sexist roles in workplaces like “event planners”, our careers ended simply because we decided to have children. 

These alpha males have masses of useless podcasts, and support from unemployed useless men all around the world but what we have is intelligence, integrity and common sense! We’re stronger than their old-fashioned views, their criticisms on our sexuality and physical images. These men gain power from the bullshit they spew into microphones, but we’re held up by our strength that we have gained from generations of strong women before us. 

But of course, not every man will agree with what I’ve said. If you have any problem with the topic in this article you can skip it, I have no problem with that. Or even better, invite your buddies to your mum’s basement and start a podcast. :)
