The truth is women can be just as dangerous as men.

Yes, they can be just as dangerous, and crimes by women are often portrayed as "not as bad" or entirely swept under the carpet.

Society has to stop thinking women are not as dangerous.

Well, here I have to disagree. Women on average are not as dangerous. Testosterone is a hell of a drug.

Which doesn't mean that men should not be allowed to feel fear. But I do expect that adults would face their fears and try to control them.

I think that definition is too general. I definitely expect men to be honorable and keep their word, and would not feel bad for shaming them if they break it, for example.

Your definition would lead us to have no expectations whatsoever.

It's a valid question. And if you insist on using terminology that is often used in a misandrist way, you better explain exactly how you view it, what your definition of it is, and what, if any, evidence there is for its existence.

Attempts at gaslighting us into accepting misandry are not welcome here.

This is a known issue and needs to be fixed at code level.

Most men do better. We would do well to avoid generalizing. That is part of the problem here.

No. Misandry is real. Patriarchy isn't.

Stop trying to gaslight us. Now let's get back to the topic at hand.

This user has now been banned for gaslighting us by stating misandry does not exist.

That is obviously the better solution.

Can’t have it equal because babies grow inside women and not man.

We're not biologically equal, and that gives some complications, sure. Which is why we give women 100% of the choice, as it should be, as the choice involves medical procedures on her body. As the quote above says:

Women’s rights advocates have long struggled for motherhood to be a voluntary condition, and not one imposed by nature or culture.

Men should have a similar choice for fatherhood. If a man doesn't want to become a father, he should not be forced to. And this should be independent from the choice of the woman.

For this reasons man can’t abort

Fair.

and for child interest they have at least to pay up.

How is this fair? He has no choice in the matter. If he voluntarily accepts to become a father, sure. But if he doesn't and the woman still chooses to keep the baby, he should be free from obligations to the child. (This is why I tagged this post with #financialservitude.)

But there is also an easy solution, don’t have sex or vasectomy.

Do you hear yourself? This is the same argument Republicans make against abortion. We don't accept that when it comes to women's rights, and we don't accept that when it comes to men's rights.

I just wrote about that here.

If you want a platform with ActivityPub integration (i.e. it's part of the Fediverse), then there are several options:

There's also WordPress, which has a free hosted tier, and can alternatively be set up on your own server. There is an ActivityPub plugin for WordPress, which can be used freely on your own server, or with the paid business plan on wordpress.com.

Another possibility would be to use a Mastodon instance that doesn't limit your character count to 500, such as Aethy (which IIRC has a limit of 1M characters per post).

If I were to start a blog again (and I have considered it), then I would probably use WriteFreely, or alternatively Aethy.
