well...im young .but yea i was ,i would hold the door open for women,pull their chairs out for them,when they hit me i wouldn't do anthing about it..

cuz i didn't know anything (see i didn't know my father and my mom gave me away cuz she didn't want to go to jail)

and i was always tought that women were special and a REAL man would do anything for a woman.....sigh....then out of no where ..SMACK..i started noticing things how teenage girls would treat their bf's ,how husbands were always getting smacked over the head for not "paying attention"....how TV would portray men as hopeless dopes and the women as smart independent women.

but..im over that now and thats why im here...and still a little confused.

A REAL man would do things for a REAL woman. The world is in grave shortage of both and you can blame men for women not growing up and women for the way men grow up. Both are affected by feministo-leftist crap which tells you that no matter what decision you take, everything will be ok and you won't suffer the consequences. And a REAL woman would sacrifice herself too for a man.

Well I am Mangina hear me whimper.

Please R. Vanillia rescue me from all the macho men. Your very butch and I think you could do anything better than any man.

She was playing the trumpet while he was frying something and a bit of cooking oil fell on her back so she clenched her jaw and bit his Wii and him due to the pain bashed her in the head with the frying pan and punched her which gave her a black eye and stuff like that. Funny enough, it's a real story that happened in my city. lol

I don't know -- I have always thought that "women's rights" was BS. It's because I have always been a libertarian. In fact, the first time I ever heard the word "libertarian" was when my poli-sci teacher called me one when I was 19. I have always thought that all "rights" groups are pretty much BS. I can remember getting into arguments about such things all the way back as far as I can recall. My dad's girlfriend was going off on the possibility of racist night clubs back when I was like 10 or 12 or something, and I couldn't believe she actually thought that people didn't have a right to be racist. It was outrageous! (Btw, I am not racist -- the issue, of course, was not whether or not it is *good* to be racist.)

On the other hand, I had always pandered to females dating-wise and had always taken a lot of things for granted, like that women should have the right to vote, say. I think if you queried me when I was 19, I would have said that feminists are amusingly petty and otherwise inconsequential -- like all such "activists". It is wrong, but for the most part such obstacles are pretty surmountable and just part of the corruption in society that one has to tolerate. Now that I have spent 10 years in the traditional male role of a mixed family, I realize how significant it all is. What people tend to see of feminism is really just the tip of the iceberg. The real danger that lurks below the surface is far bigger and more prolific than young men tend to realize.

Adrian, the problem is that feminism is just a manifestation of an ideology, it's not the only thing.

Quote from Trauma Fried Brains

Who can honestly say they have never thought or behaved like a mangina? (women excepted, of course.)

Or should the question be; at what age, or how long ago, did you realise that such a mental state existed?

I remember approving of feminism, or what it passed for then, in the 70’s as a teenager. There was no particular switch, but a gradual progression of around 5 years to when I was 25. By then I had a fairly good idea that gender perceptions were pretty messed up in culture. By the end of the 1980’s I was aware of extreme stuff like we now call the rad-fem end of things.

It was out before then, but I just wasn’t aware of it.

Yea, over just these past few years have i started to become aware of the truth behind the shit at hand.
Used to be I would beat myself up, over all the stupid shit that women did, always saying "what did i do wrong?". To many times Ive heard the same tired BS "your looking in the wrong places", "she just wasn't the one"...etc.All under some misguided illusion that women would be receptive to me if I was nice to them.Was I perfect? Far from it, but I was willing to do my best.
Since Ive became a lot better at "specifying" searches on google and have been able to find, MRA's, Angry Harry, Argus,Chaplin and numerous others on forums and what not. After poring it over for about a year I joined this Antimisandry, and have started to begin voicing myself as well!
I honestly can not say if I'm Alpha or Beta or Mangina or anything else for that matter.All I can say is Id rather take a bullet then fall into another rat trap with another......And a steady steam of me putting my foot down will flow until that day..

Who are you?

As to the subject: I still don't really get what a 'mangina' is. People have varying definitions, from being courteous to a woman, to chivalry, to putting up with abuse, to supporting women's rights, to being a radical feminist, to men who have feminine traits.

I think that if being courteous or chivalrous wins the favor of women, men will continue to do this. I think that putting up with abuse is probably another matter entirely...and supporting radical feminism (whatever that is) is kind of weird even if you're a woman.

I'll admit, I'd rather date a man who's nice to me than one who isn't. I'd rather date a courteous, well-mannered man than one who's rude or indifferent. I hold doors open for people. I don't see it is as chivalry.

if you drink alchoholic drinks with umbrella's in em
you are a mangina
if you watch lifetime, you are a mangina
if you watch oprah(unless pam grier, dihann carroll, whitney houston, or jenifer hudson are on the show)
you are a mangina
if you are going out with an active feminist
you are a mangina

It may be my philosophical allegiances, but, personally, I think that what a "mangina" really is or is supposed to be is quite apprehensible, under the circumstances. Like any word, people use it in a variety of circumstances and in a variety of ways and its precise implied meaning can vary as is its general meaning philosophically vague. But with scrutiny, not only can the implicit meaning of such a term be determined in any particular context, but a meaningful general sense of the term can be determined, as well.

People will often call someone a mangina just to identify him as an enemy to the men's movement, but that is a misuse of the term, and it also should not be construed as diminishing the implied meaning it must carry. The etymology of this neologism and its social adoption pretty much says it all, I think. It just refers to a certain kind of effiminate man that attacks or disparages masculinity in some fashion. So, if you are just a sleazy conman that is not really effiminate but that uses politics and feminism at the expense of other men to get ahead or to get dates, then that doesn't really make you a mangina so much as just an asshole.

On the other hand, if you are totally sympathetic to the plight of men but are nevertheless kind of effiminate and privately disapprove of masculinity and masculine behavior for no other reason than that it is masculine, then you are a mangina. A lot of manginas aren't assholes and aren't even feminists. They may even be mens' rights advocates. And, they may even not be, on the whole, that bad for other men or men's rights, in general. But, they might still be into the "sensitive man" persona and generally go around disapproving of specific, individual instances of morally neutral masculine behavior. Such a man is still a mangina even if he "isn't such a bad guy" and is not an "enemy to the mens' movement".

In fact, here's how you do this. If you want to know what is really entailed by the term, simply contrast it to other similar terms. For instance, what is the difference between "mangina" and "gay". What would be an example of a flaming gay man that is not a "mangina". Come up with a similar example of a "metrosexual" that is not a "mangina" or an "effeminate heterosexual" that is not a "mangina", and so on. That narrows it down pretty quickly with good choices of things to contrast it to (e.g. things that might be pretty nearly synonymous with it).
