1.  claims are unsubstantiated.
2. History has its difficult moments, and while that behavior was wrong, it had political significance at the time for both the country and the movement. This is not an excuse, but far worse things were happening at that time (e.g., instances of violence during the First World War).
3. There is no evidence that feminist groups in India successfully blocked laws criminalizing rape by women against men.
4. There was a lot of misinformation and hoaxes. Organizations condemned the shaming of Heard, highlighting the harm of online abuse. They argued it harmed Heard and all survivors of domestic violence, creating a culture of silence and fear.
5. Some UK feminists opposed gender-neutral domestic abuse funding, fearing it would reduce support for women, who are disproportionately affected by such violence.
6. No clear proof exists that a documentary was canceled in Spain due to feminist protests about male abuse.
7.
8. The Duluth model focuses on male power and control but excludes male victims and doesn’t apply to all abuse dynamics. It is supported by some feminists, though many criticize its narrow focus.
9. This is true, but while feminists once focused on women as victims, the movement has evolved, now advocating for gender-neutral approaches and recognizing both male and female victims of domestic violence.
10. It is not true that all feminists blame men for women’s negative actions.
11. They were concerned that the law could harm female victims and allow men to falsely accuse women of abuse (this seems an odd claim while large-scale violence is taking place in some regions).
12. She faced backlash because her work on female abusers conflicted with the feminist focus on male violence, leading to accusations that she was undermining the movement.
13. She had radical views, but calling it “genocide” is exaggerated. She believed in reducing male influence, but it was an extreme and out-of-context perspective.
14. She suggested that men should be 10%. It is an extreme view, not representative of mainstream feminism, and reflects her utopian ideas explored in her writings.
15. Yes, she was involved. Rest in peace, Vigliarolo. However, she changed a lot over time and became helpful in prison. I believe in second chances, and this has little to do with feminism. She did her time and is now helping.
16. Price critiques toxic masculinity, but there’s no claim that all masculinity is inherently toxic or that men need constant supervision.
17. Lisa Wade doesn’t completely reject masculinity, just the harmful aspects. She critiques how certain forms of masculinity are tied to power structures like white supremacy and patriarchy but does not call for men to renounce it altogether. She advocates for rethinking and reforming masculinity in society.
18. She says men should take responsibility, not face punishment.
19. It’s an extreme text—some see it as satire, while others take it seriously.
20. This is not accurate.
21. Even if this event did occur (which has been criticized for exaggeration), it drew attention to male domestic violence and abuse and contributed to a broader cause.
22. The article discusses Ellen Trane Nørby’s position on circumcision in Denmark, particularly in relation to religious freedom. While Nørby supports continued circumcision, it is framed in the context of respecting religious practices and public health regulations, not collaborating with feminists on “male genital mutilation.”
23. Lindin’s statement about not being concerned with innocent men losing their jobs over false accusations sparked controversy. She argued that the broader cause of fighting systemic injustice was more important. Critics, however, argued that her view dismissed the harm to innocent individuals.
24. Yes, this happened. She faced heavy criticism for it.
25. This claim is false.
26. Not confirmed.
27. Protests were aimed at sparking dialogue, not silencing legitimate conversation on men’s issues.
28. This requires further investigation.
29. This wasn’t about excluding men but addressing a specific, urgent issue recognized by communities.
30. This was related to hygiene, not a broad national law. The proposal, intended to improve cleanliness and bladder health, sparked backlash but was not officially adopted or implemented. It was more of an internal discussion than a serious feminist agenda.
