Article here. Excerpt:

'In one of Shyminsky’s TikTok videos he says if you’re a man who believes it’s your duty to protect women then you require dangerous men to exist; as such, you’re not actually working toward a world in which such people do not exist.

In other words, such a man’s “self actualization is opposed to women’s liberation” — that “being a good man also requires you to be a bad one.”

Shyminsky further claims men who believe it their duty to protect women are the real danger: “You are one of the bad ones for some other woman’s good man,” he says.'

... is by feminist def'n a man who exercises power. This is a toxic trait to them.

In other words, only pusillanimous men are "safe" and thus acceptable in any way to feminists, incl. apparently male feminists.

But I will say I agree that being a white knight "protector of women" is stoopid and shouldn't be a value. But not b/c such a man is powerful but because such a man is a gullible dolt.
