Imagine being so brain dead that you could see this and be against it. Masculinism is Andrew Tate guys.

Let’s cut the crap. The endless drumbeat of feminism vs. masculinity, women vs. men, is not empowering anyone. It’s not solving anything. It’s just dividing us further, turning every issue into a battlefield where no one wins. And while we’re busy screaming at each other about who’s more oppressed, real problems – problems that disproportionately hurt women – are being ignored. Let’s talk about one of those problems: Switzerland’s archaic **combined taxation system**, which is a slap in the face to women, especially mothers who re-enter the workforce after childbirth.

Right now, in Geneva, there’s a protest about feminism. Fine. But if we’re going to protest, let’s protest something that actually matters. Let’s protest the fact that Switzerland’s tax system is rigged against women. Here’s how it works: when a married couple files taxes, their incomes are combined and taxed as a single unit. Sounds harmless, right? Wrong. This system punishes women who want to work, especially those who return to the workforce after having kids.

Here’s the brutal truth: if a woman decides to go back to work after childbirth, her income isn’t taxed separately. It’s lumped together with her husband’s, pushing them into a higher tax bracket. The result? She’s working her ass off, but most of her paycheck is eaten by taxes. Why bother working when the system is designed to make it financially pointless? This isn’t feminism. This isn’t equality. This is institutionalized sexism disguised as tradition.

And who does this hurt the most? Women. Mothers. Wives. The very people feminism claims to fight for. But instead of focusing on real, tangible issues like this, we’re stuck in this endless loop of gender wars. Men vs. women. Feminists vs. anti-feminists. It’s a distraction. A smokescreen. And while we’re busy arguing about who’s more privileged, the system keeps screwing over women in ways that actually matter.

Let’s be clear: this isn’t about men vs. women. This is about a broken system that hurts families, stifles economic growth, and keeps women trapped in financial dependency. If we really want to empower women, let’s start by fixing the tax code. Let’s fight for **individual taxation**, where each person is taxed on their own income, regardless of marital status. This isn’t just a women’s issue – it’s a societal issue. It’s about fairness. It’s about giving women the freedom to work without being penalized for it.

But no, instead of uniting to demand real change, we’re too busy pointing fingers at each other. Feminists blame men. Men feel attacked. And the system? It just keeps chugging along, laughing at all of us.

So here’s my message to the protesters in Geneva: if you really want to make a difference, stop making this about gender wars. Stop dividing us. Start focusing on the real issues – like combined taxation – that are holding women back. Because until we start fighting the system instead of each other, nothing is going to change. And that’s the brutal truth.

Men support women's emancipation when they understand this is to their advantage. To the advantage of the whole human society.

Since I see a lot of angry reactions from men, and speaking as a man myself, I have something to say that most will hate to hear. These are reflections from my life experience.

When we are triggered (in this case by feminism and other concepts that we believe are somehow directed against "us/me"), our identity is threatened. It is threatened because it is largely artificial and built as a coping mechanism, since we usually rely on it for our sense of self-worth and purpose (hint: our obsolescence is just a fear - a thought we invest in that masks the real feelings underneath). We can see how fragile this identity is when we are honest with ourselves about the fear of our lack of purpose in the face of changing social structures without male dominance. "How are we going to get love and be safe - without having to assert dominance or project fear?"

Our masculine identity is at the root of the so-called patriarchal need for control, which at it's extremes extends to fascism. Politics is increasingly about the struggle for identity. So, overall, feminism is a reaction to a (masculine) identity structure that does not dare to look at itself. We are all unconscious of our current identities - our deepest beliefs are always hidden until we really see them.

Unexplored fears and repressed anger and sadness show up in our triggered responses. It's time to do our work and cultivate self-love. It's possible to move experientially beyond masculine and feminine, both of which are ultimately just concepts.

In short, when you're triggered, the issue seems to be about "you" (and that leads to unconscious reactions). If you explore further, you may see that it's not about "you" at all, and you may see that women and other groups collectively have a different experience of life that we have yet to truly see and understand beyond our own perspective and identity.

Extremism generates more extremism. Have people not learnt anything about the current situation in the US?

Just fucking stop it. Women have the right to defend their interests, but there is absolutely no need to generate absurd conflicts between men and women, or between any other groups for the matter.

Yeah !!! Who wants to see all the obese women with blue hair of Geneva walk around town ? I mean I’m on diet it might motivate me to see these monkeys running around.

I’m all for equal rights they should be forced to do the army to and men should be able to choose to abandon their child just like women can just kill them by abortion.
