10 Things You Can do to Counter Gynocentrism and Bring Fairness to Men

Tom Golden, Mar 10, 2025

This is a list compiled from my own writing and that of both Grok and ChatGPT. Have a look and see what you think. What is left out?

1. Cultivate Awareness & Knowledge

  • Educate yourself on how gynocentrism influences society, law, relationships, and media.
  • Read books and research on gender dynamics (e.g., Warren FarrellPaul Nathanson & Katherine Young).
  • Recognize societal double standards that disadvantage men, from everyday issues like Ladies’ Nights to more serious disparities in domestic violence laws, family courts, and child support. Learn to articulate these issues clearly.

2. Reject Shame-Based Narratives

  • Identify and resist guilt-based controls that shame men into self-sacrifice (e.g., “real men provide no matter what”).
  • Stand firm in your worth beyond traditional obligations of servitude or disposability.
  • Refuse to let shame dictate your choices, relationships, or self-perception.
  • Know that your worth as a man goes beyond accomplishments.

3. Build and Support Male Spaces

  • Engage in or create male-positive spaces like men’s groups, online communities, and mentorship programs.
  • Support platforms that advocate for men’s well-being and counter isolation.
  • Foster brotherhood and mutual support among red pilled men to resist divisive narratives.
  • Enjoy male-only gatherings, whether through sports, hiking, gaming, running, working out, music, or simply spending time with friends.

4. Challenge Double Standards & Unfair Policies

  • Call out biases in family courts, education, workplace policies, and domestic violence laws. (to name a few)
  • Advocate for fair treatment in custody battles, scholarship access, and workplace regulations.
  • Use facts, not emotion, to challenge misandrist narratives (e.g., men make up 92% of workplace fatalities, yet are ignored in safety policies).

5. Set Boundaries & Control Your Relationships

  • Avoid relationships where you are valued only for what you provide (e.g., financial security, protection).
  • Build relationships based on mutual respect, appreciation, and shared values—not obligation.
  • Walk away from dynamics that demand self-sacrifice without reciprocity.

Mean Girls and Feminists: Is There a Difference?

Tom Golden, Dec 05, 2024


In a previous post, we explored why men often choose not to fight back against women. Many reasons tie back to their biologically and socially driven desire for social status. Men tend to carefully assess conflicts, aiming to maximize gains while minimizing losses. Maintaining high status, especially within hierarchical structures, requires significant effort. These dynamics—marked by unexpected rises and falls—have shaped men’s behavior for generations.

However, beginning in the 1970s, feminists began weaponizing gynocentrism, using it as a protective shield while directing hateful accusations at men. If men were to treat women similarly, they would face immediate chastisement and punishment. Instead, feminists exploited their societal gynocentric privilege destructively, prioritizing their own agendas.

Initially, this hostility manifested in labels like “chauvinists” or “pigs.” Over time, unchecked accusations escalated, with men increasingly blamed for nearly every difficulty feminists perceived. Consider the many labels feminists have used to describe men over the years:

  • Chauvinists
  • Oppressors
  • Patriarchs
  • Privileged
  • Deadbeat dads
  • Pigs
  • Misogynists
  • Rapists
  • Abusers
  • Incels
  • Toxic

Now, imagine if men’s groups conjured similar names for women. How long would such groups last? Would they garner media support? Not a chance. Gynocentrism allows feminists to spew hatred without consequence, often gaining widespread backing.

‘Feminism was never sane’

Quoted on Tom Golden’s substack post: Women Say Feminist Hatred of Men Has Gone Far Enough

Ottawa professor Janice Fiamengo: 

“Feminism was never sane. It was never without deep rancor and bitterness against men, never free from the claim that women were absolute victims of male predation, never uninterested in destroying the family, never accurate in its claims about women’s social situation, never unwilling to slander men in the most vicious and unpitying ways, and it never expressed any appreciation for men nor recognition that men had made any contribution to society or that men had ever acted out of love and concern and compassion for women in the laws that had been made or social instruments that had been developed over time. It was always a deeply misandrist, man-hating, man-blaming kind of movement.”
