    I have made many posts expressing my anger at injustices and bigotry experienced by men. Many people who may agree with me to some extent still do not understand the reasons for my anger. They do not understand why anger is an appropriate response to bigotry/injustice.

    First, I value myself and everyone should value themselves. I obviously disagree with misandrists who view all men as oppressors complicit in the crimes of a small minority of men. I disagree with Conservatives who view people with Mental Disability as unworthy of state support. Some people view valuing oneself as a sin, while in reality it may be a Great Virtue. If Toxic Masculinity exists, then men not valuing themselves is the main example. A man who values himself would avoid drugs, crime, or any self-harm.

    Second, like many men, I have more weaknesses then strengths. If Toxic Masculinity exists, then pretending to be a tough Macho He-Man is one of the worst examples. One reason, why men are severely hurt by Misandry is that most men depend on women to a great degree. This is very true on Personal level.

    On Societal level, there is a lot of Discrimination Against Men. Men are discriminated in Divorce, male offenders get 63% more time for the same crime, male DV victims are more likely to be arrested then helped, and men accused of Sexual Misconduct are presumed guilty. This Discrimination escalates. One important thing is that the status of the Male Minority completely depends on the will of the Female Majority. I am particularly grateful to women who support men -- they are our only hope.

    Paradoxically, anger at Misandrists is not rooted in Toxic Masculinity. A Macho He-Man would laugh at someone who stereotypes all men as evil oppressors complicit in every crime ever committed by a man. A man who understands his weakness would be angry.
