Shaming tactics are emotional devices meant to play on a man’s insecurities and shut down debate. They are meant to elicit sympathy for women and to demonize men who ask hard questions.”
It’s amusing how many of the listed examples of female shaming techniques have already been used on Mumsnet Sucks Facebook page by our female guests, and are familiar from our forages into mumsnet.
“You’re bitter!”
“You need to get over your anger at women.”
“You’re afraid of a strong woman!
“Stop whining!”
“Get over it!”
“Suck it up like a man!”
“You guys don’t have it as nearly as bad as us women!”
“You’re just afraid of losing your male privileges.”
“Your fragile male ego …”
“Wow! You guys need to get a grip!”
“Do you live with your mother?”
“I’m not interested in boys. I’m interested in real men.”
“You guys are scary.”
“You make me feel afraid.”
“You are just bitter because you can’t get laid.”
“Why do you hate women?”
“You have issues.”“You’re unstable.”
“You need therapy.”
“Weirdo!”
All used to dodge the issue at hand, or debate it logically and reasonably, whatever it might be and attempt to shame the man into submission. Imagine a man arguing like ‘Wll you’re just saying that cos you’re fat’ or ‘Feminism is stupid because you all have hairy legs and hate men,’
Let’s see if our lady guests here or on FB can manage to debate out points while avoiding these lame cliches.
Alternatively, women may find this a handy list to cut and paste from any time they want to debate gender issues or misandry with a man.

“Imagine a man arguing like ‘Wll you’re just saying that cos you’re fat’ or ‘Feminism is stupid because you all have hairy legs and hate men,’”
erm, actually women hear this quite a lot when voicing a feminist opinion…

If a man said something like that he would be regarded as an idiot, or not trying to debate. Most men would rather debate a feminist issue from a logical standpoint, with reason and facts and all those silly things. Feminists – and women in general to be fair – resort to such shaming techniques instead of debating far more often.
Also they can’t catch and run funny.

What a running-dog-lackey false consciousness oppressive patriarchal rape-culture reactionary video! 🙂
New useful info at “The Unknown History of MISANDRY.” Go to “greatest hits” sidebar tag for starters.
