Self-Made Man: My Year Disguised as a Man is a 2006 book written by journalist Norah Vincent, recounting an 18-month experiment in which she disguised herself as a man—"Ned"—and then integrated into traditionally male-only venues, such as a bowling league, a monastery, and a men’s support group. She also described her experiences as a man in the workplace, in strip clubs, and on dates with women.
In order to effectively pose as a male, Vincent acquired a buzz cut and flattened her chest using a sports bra. She also hired a makeup artist to fake a five o'clock shadow and trained for months to imitate a deeper male voice.
Near the end of the experiment, Norah Vincent had a mental breakdown, and had to check herself into an institution for depression.

Both genders should know how to change diapers.
Both genders should be expected to pay for their meals.
Both genders should know how to cook.
Both genders should know how to start fires, cut wood, and pitch tents.
Both genders should wash dishes, clean, and do laundry. Both genders should be able to defend themselves. Both genders should be able to sew and repair clothing. Both genders should know how to change a tire and oil. Both genders should learn basic first aid skills. Both genders should be able to garden and hunt for food.
They’re basic life skills. (I’m adding from the comments)
“Consensual sex” is just sex. To say that implies that there is such a thing as “non consensual sex”, which there isn’t. That’s rape. That is what it needs to be called. There is only sex or rape. Do not teach people that rape is just another type of sex. They are two very separate events. You wouldn’t say “breathing swimming” and “non breathing swimming”, you say swimming and drowning.

You can’t call yourself a strong, independent woman if you’re living off of your ex-husband.
Guys, don’t do this. She doesn’t need you to show her how she deserves to be treated. She’s well aware. She’s not going to have sex with you because you spent money on her. And she shouldn’t be demonized for that. She’s clearly let you know that she’s not interested, so be a true friend and allow her to pay her own way when you go out. I know it’s cute to say that you’re “spoiling her”, but that’s not a good thing. She’s going to expect everyone to treat her like that and they won’t.
Also, she’s not the bad guy here. She’s made it clear that she’s not interested and he won’t take the hint.
According to this moron, a man can’t explain anything to a woman unless she specifically says that she wants it explained. This is absurd. I refuse to believe that women’s feelings are so fragile that I have to have permission every time I explain something to a woman. And I would hate for women to ask me if I understand something every time they feel the need to explain it to me. That’s not how normal conversation works.
Furthermore, I will again state that if you have derogatory terms based on someone’s gender, then you’re being sexist. It is not sufficient to end sexism against women. You have to end sexism completely. Putting up barriers one way, ensures that the barrier will remain up both ways, even if that is not your intent. In other words, if you tell men that they can’t be sexist, but tell women that being sexist is fine, you assure that men will resent women for it, and their sexism will grow.
This was posted by a friend of mine. He apparently buys into the belief that all men are bad, except him and a few people who are just like him. But most men, of course, want nothing more than sex from you, and will be nice to you to get it. This is of course, the polar opposite of women, who are all nice, with no exception.
The reality is that most people, men and women, and those outside of those categories, are nice. But society only encourages us to believe that about women (sugar and spice and all that), and those others who don’t belong in the cis-men category.
I cut my ex out of daughter’s life: Now I’m glad he fought to see her
What a terrible article. I realize we’re supposed to be overjoyed at the “happy ending” here, and that’s the problem.
This woman cost her former husband thousands in legal fees. Has she paid him back?
She effectively kidnapped his daughter. She took his parenting time away. She made false accusations against him. Does she face any consequences?
She took her daughter’s time away from her dad. Does she face consequences for that?
In the end, dad gets every other Saturday. Why not 50/50 custody? Is it because she’s such a vile, narcissistic bitch that if he got 50/50 custody, she’d still be trying to kidnap their daughter to this day?
I don’t understand why this is a happy ending. This is a story of how a woman used the family court system to steal that man’s time with his daughter. She should be punished, but our gynocentric society would never allow that.
If the dad did that to her he would rightly be described as the villain. She’s the villain and this article sympathizes with her. What a messed up world we live in.
Worst patriarchy ever.
Raise your hand if you’re not at all surprised that courts are beginning to give women their ex’s money, even though they were never married and had no children together. ♂️
This one even declined to sign a marriage contract. Of course she declined to sign a marriage contract, she wanted his money and she knew that if it ever were to end, she’d take him to court and get every penny she could from him!
You can’t be a strong independent woman if you’re living off of your ex.
When men are mean to women, it’s men’s fault. When women are mean to women, somehow it’s also men’s fault.
Female genital mutilation is a human rights abuse, but if you don’t allow your own genitals to be mutilated you’re not a man.
Employers must crack down on sports chat because it ‘excludes women’
At this point feminists are just like “we’ve gotten them to do some pretty messed up things so far, let’s just keep going and see what other kinds of crazy things we can get them to do”.
My bitch of an ex wife is leaving for a cruise right now and doesn’t even have the common fucking courtesy to thank me for paying for it. I’m stuck in western New York, where I only stay because I want to be close to the kids, and I’m freezing my ass off. And she’s going on a cruise and thinks that she’s paying for it, because she’s too fucking stupid to realize that she can only afford it because of the extravagant amount of child support that this gynocentric hell-hole of a state makes me give her despite the fact that I take care of the kids half the time.
This is the reality of family court. They just want to allow women to live off the hard work of their ex husbands.
Blame culture of violence, not the internet, for Instagram star Bianca Devins’ viral murder
There is no culture of violence towards women. This is a myth that feminists use to continue to monopolize the state of victimhood.
So you have weapons on your person. Good for you. You should take your personal safety seriously. That doesn’t mean anything. If I go out and buy a gun it doesn’t mean that I am in more danger than you.
Abusive partners and abortion bans limit the reproductive rights of their victims. I’ll say this again, women are the only ones with ANY reproductive rights. Men have NONE. Women can abort or give away a baby, most of the time without the father’s consent, any time from conception through until the baby is several months old. I am aware of no law that even demands a woman inform a man that she is having his baby. Women have a monopoly on reproductive rights.
“Nearly 1 in 5 women have been raped in their lifetime”. This statistic has been debunked many times. It is simply not true.
“The abuse stops when we tell our boys to respect their female counterparts.” We’ve been doing this since forever. When I grew up it was “never hit girls”. Not only do we teach boys to not be violent, but we teach them to especially not be violent towards women.
“Men still hold most of the power in the world”. Right. That’s why the vast majority of homeless people are men, the vast majority of suicides are men, the vast majority of people doing ALL dangerous jobs are men, women live longer than men, men pay more taxes than women, girls and women outperform boys and men in school at every level from kindergarten to PHD yet there are more educational programs that target girls and women.
“Fingers point the blame to the length of a skirt". Nobody blames the length of a skirt. You’re in an echo chamber. You’re hearing people say “stop blaming the length of her skirt” and you’re assuming they’re blaming the length of her skirt but nobody is actually doing that.
The reality is women-beaters are widely viewed by society to be the worst of the worst. They’re so bad that they have a shirt named after them. Any man wears a sleeveless white tank top and that’s called a “wife beater” mocking the stereotype of drunk rednecks wearing those shirts and beating their wives. No one respects a man who hits a woman. In fact, if a man is seen in public defending himself against a woman who is hitting him, he’s likely to get hit by other men.
Furthermore, men are more likely to be the victims of violence in general. When it comes to unreciprocated IPV, men are more likely to be the victim and women are more likely to be the offender. Yet women have a monopoly on victim’s services. Only in the past few years have men’s domestic violence shelters began to pop up. Even the founder of the very first domestic violence shelter for women, Erin Pizzey, was ostracized by feminists because she recognized that men needed victims services as well.
This article is absurd propaganda and the writer would do well to take a look at the real world.
Man: Gets on his knees in front of his girlfriend, offers her an expensive diamond ring, asks her to marry him.
Feminist: “Why does everything have to be all about you?!?”
There are only 2 people who can send you to jail for not paying them, the government, and your ex wife (or child’s mother).
“But women pay child support too!” I know they do. But they are sent to jail at a much lower rate, despite the fact that men are better at paying their ordered child support than women are. That’s not a sexist statement, it’s supported by statistics.
“Mansplaining” is just a word feminists use to try and silence men who disagree with them. It has no other intention, meaning or value.
Let me translate for you:
You’re not a good man unless you allow women to scold and berate you.

Men Cause 100% of Unwanted Pregnancies
This is the most idiotic article I’ve ever read.
Everything in here is a non-sequitur. The idea that women’s birth control is expensive and sucks, doesn’t make men more responsible than women. In fact, if women’s birth control sucks, they’re more likely to go off of it and are therefore responsible for informing their partners of that fact.
There is a much lower threshold for side effects in medicine than there used to be. That’s why men’s birth control can’t make it through the FDA. Women’s birth control wouldn’t make it through these day’s either. But decades ago it could’ve and did.
Condoms aren’t a “male” birth control option. Either party can decide not to have sex without a condom. A woman has every right to demand her partner wear a condom. Sure, he can remove it without her knowing. But she can also deliberately stop taking her birth control without him knowing. I know women who’ve done it. When a man removes a condom he’s taking away the informed consent of his partner. Likewise when a man consents to sex believing the woman is on birth control, but she is not, his consent is not informed and she is therefore assaulting him. If you have done that to a man, you are a rapist.
Also, the idea that women don’t dislike condoms is just wrong. Women dislike condoms as much as men do. There’s an interesting article from 2015 in psychology today that states this fact. That article, of course, attributes the fact that we don’t know this about women, to the fact that we never ask women how they feel.
Women do not suffer all of the consequences of pregnancy. Men have child support responsibilities and men absolutely are shamed for unwanted pregnancies. The child support guidelines are set up to extract the most from men as possible and have no real world bearing on what is required to raise a child. I myself have about 45% of the parenting time and am still ordered to pay $2000 per month in child support. There is absolutely no way my ex wife pays anywhere near 50% of the financial burden for our children.
“Only about 61 percent of required [child support] payments by men are actually made”. This conveniently leaves out the fact that men are much better at paying their portion of child support payments than women are. Nonetheless, women are much less likely to be imprisoned for not paying their child support. Men bear most of the financial responsibility for children.
This is of course largely tied to the idea that women don’t have reproductive rights. I’ll just state again, emphatically, women are the only ones with reproductive rights. It’s not even a concept for men. Men can impregnate a woman, and after that she doesn’t even have to inform him that he’s a father. She can give their baby away if she wants, and he never has to know. He can also never opt out of parenthood, despite the mother having months to opt out. Women are the only ones with any reproductive rights.
The author of this article clearly only has an agenda of demonizing men. I get it, it’s very fashionable to do these days. But when actual consideration is put into the issue, you see that her points are absurd. She uses no logic whatsoever in arriving at her conclusion that it’s all because of the evil men.
Completely oblivious…
