The Anti-Male Shaming Tactics Catalog
March 1, 2007
“Shaming tactics.” This phrase is familiar to many Men’s Rights Activists. It conjures up the histrionic behavior of female detractors who refuse to argue their points with logic. Yet women are not the only ones guilty of using shaming tactics against men. Male gynocentrists use them, too. 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. Most, if not all, shaming tactics are basically ad homimem attacks.
Anyway, it might be helpful to categorize the major shaming tactics that are used against men whenever a discussion arises about feminism, men’s issues, romance, etc. The following list contains descriptions of shaming tactics, some examples of quotes employing the tactics, and even color-coded aliases for mnemonic purposes. Enjoy.
Charge of Irascibility (Code Red)
Discussion: The target is accused of having anger management issues. Whatever negative emotions he has are assumed to be unjustifiable. Examples:
- “You’re bitter!”
- “You need to get over your anger at women.”
- “You are so negative!”
Response: Anger is a legitimate emotion in the face of injustice. It is important to remember that passive acceptance of evil is not a virtue….Wanna read the rest? Why not buy us a beer real quick.. Just click here.

In a word: Brilliant.
Who hasn’t heard every single one of these charges levelled at them?
While annoying, it’s nice to see that our enemy can be so predictable and easily analyzable.
touche’ (did i spell that right) ….. well anyway,……right on!!
An example of brainwashed females.
I teach at the high school level. I am good at what I do. I grab and keep the majority of my student’s attention… a very difficult feat in today’s entertainment-oriented society.
I get their attention by being animated… I stand, move, point, lots of body language. I also use my voice to great effect. Quiet, loud, soft, tonal inflections.
I use the above to various degrees, depending upon circumstances.
Here’s an example. To get across the point that war is more than facts and figures I will describe how warriors confront each other on the battlefield, how emotions are present: rage, fear, etc. I want the kids to know that those were real, living people we are reading about.
While telling of those warriors I will pretend I am holding a rifle and growl as I approach the “enemy.” Just trying to get a point across. Also, to clarify things, I do not “attack” the students while pantomining.
In too many cases, after doing the above, a female student will raise her hand and declare that I have scared her.
Huh??? Scared her? I gave up trying to fathom the logic behind that statement. I HAVE noticed that those females tend to either use the exact same or very similarly-stated statement. I believe those females are uttering rote-learned words.
American females are, in my never humble opinion, being brainwashed by a society that desires emasculated males. Maybe I have a tinfoil hat upon my head but I fear that the “power brokers” of this country desire an emasculated male populace. Not much to fear from a citizenry whose males have been brought down to the feminine way of thinking and acting.
Thanks for this website page. It is incredible, whenever I am between women talking, I hear one of these phrases. Next time, I will be ready to respond in a way that is required.
obbop: “In too many cases, after doing the above, a female student will raise her hand and declare that I have scared her.”
Calmly tell her:
NOW you know what males feel like when they get sent to fight a war–against their will– while the females get to stay nice & warm at home.
In my experience, either women get it or they don’t. Either they are on your side or they’re not. No amount of evidence, attempts to convince them, logic or even pleas to empathy will sway them to your side. A feminist is a feminist, and if she were mentally sane, she would have objected to the basic premise to begin with. There is no way the 15 minute conversation you have is going to force her to change the very foundation of her life.
Actually I think this goes for any conversation topic with women. Don’t forget that they are morally superior to us mere humans. Regardless of what they believe, they are always correct. So don’t debate them. Small talk is just about the only thing you can discuss with women. Keep it to the weather, musical bands or other mundane topics.
If you play, you will lose. The only winning with AWs is not to play. The greatest thing is that your refusal to shower them with attention frustrates them much more than any slanderous accusations (non-legal) a woman can use against a man.
I can personally attest to the power of the Shaming Tactics.
On many a board I post on, once you use them against a woman, she then has to dig deeper and deeper to try to disarm you with a tactic you haven’t seen.
Sadly for women, the list covers them all, so when they attack, they are easily disarmed.
They then either concede by running away, claim that you are unreachable and stubborn, or just try a inane topic to lull your attention away from that spear of logic you just stuck them with.
Best thing to remember…majority of women THINK they are unique, but surprisingly have the SAME mentality They each think THEIR insult is rare and a real zinger. Once you show how boring, predictable and weak their emotional attack is, you can just walk away.
Let them have the last word…As Kenshiro says…you’re already defeated (yes I know what he actually says, but the filters won’t post it).

Thanks ! I have lived some of these tactics, and now just let her know that shame tactics no longer work, then tell her to just SHUP UP. Seems to work good for me : ) Now getting laid a lot more without all of the yack.
tygr said it best. You’ll just sound like them in the end.
I can’t believe nobody has mentioned the best, and SAFEST response to all the shaming tactics: laughing.
A deep, loud, long, belly-filling laugh is the one response that will disarm the aggressor. They will be mystified and befuddled, but miffed that you obviously don’t take the ***** seriously. It’s also office-safe, so the boss won’t write you up on it.
Remember, the woman HATES YOU as a man and wants you to SUFFER. If you laugh, that sure ain’t suffering. And if SHE laughs too, YOU laugh again!!! Out-laugh the twit!
Also, all women want to express themselves and be heard, and as a bonus, have something to laugh about later with a Girlfriend. They’ll never want to brag about making a man laugh, never never never.
I am studying this like a bible! Whenever I feel upset about the unjust done to men, I come here and I feel so much better. Whenever I see a commerical, or heard about a movie that put men down, I come here and I feel better. Thanks to the creator and you guys.
WoW! Thank you so much for this resource! In just the 3 days that I have had to use this as a resource, it has helped me twice and I am sure it will many more times in the future!!! I was charged with being bitter on my blog by my wife’s feminist friends who hide behind the flag of equality. She was telling me, I was bitter because I was upset at high pressure sales to raise money for breast cancer research when all I wanted to buy was a cup of coffee. The sales people wouldn’t drop the issue so I posted on it in my blog. And the attacks started flying. So I went to my new favorite site for defensive weaponry (dumpyourwifenow.com) and quoted code red while stating that my “feelings” are legitimate as any persons feelings are. I still have not gotten a reply back from her. I’m shocked really! LoL!
To my way of thinking being a man means living your life the way that you want to, so any time that some one levels one of these accusations against you just smile, nod and say “yeah and i’m still going to/not going to do it” (delete as applicable whatever it may be) once you have resolved to not let a woman have power over you – she doesn’t.
Many of the shaming tactics centre around invalidation of the man’s perspective and emotions. They also seek to actually avoid debating the point!
Classic and effective, but not if you can recognise them and counter them!
