A lot of male-only spaces descend into places to hate on women rather than proactively dealing with issues within our own community. It takes active moderation for these support groups to not become hate groups. If it stays focused on healthy self improvement (not hawking supplements and talking about a person being high or low "value") and providing emotional support for men, it can avoid the "hate group" moniker.

The "loser" thing is actually a symptom of why we need spaces like we're talking about. There will likely always be people out there who judge people for needing help and emotional support, especially men(thank you toxic masculinity), but the goal should be an overall less toxic society and greater acceptance that everyone needs help at some point.

Your "bigger issue" is not something I think I have experienced, I don't think I've ever had someone assume I'm evil because I'm male. That sounds like an internal belief that you're projecting on society, something that should be looked at in detail and questioned thoroughly in a therapeutic setting. Looking at other comments you've made on similar subjects, you seem to be someone who needs a place where your views can be safely challenged by reality, which is another way of saying we need better support groups for men like you, not just incel groups where you reinforce each other's toxic beliefs.

I understand that this may come off as insulting, I just want you to know that that's not my intent. I think you are lacking in self worth and that is leading you to project toxicity into the world. I don't think you're hopeless, mostly because I used to be on a similar course as you. I got therapy and learned to better love and value myself and I started seeing a lot more positivity in my interactions with people of all genders. The first step is wanting to change things.

I think the "men evil", "woman good" is just worded to strongly but is generally true (not actually true, but people considered it to be true).

Its more "men dangerous", "men threatening" and not "evil". A man in a women's bathroom is a threat. A women in a mans bathroom is there because there was a line for the woman's bathroom. The actual reason for those scenarios does not matter, the man will be seen as an invasion and a perpetrator. I have personally experienced examples of neutral situations as well (going to the woman's bathroom as a man without negative reactions) but the general discourse about the topic is pretty clear.
