The '''Man Hating Zone''' is a faction of radical feminist trolls who have been active on OWOT since its inception in 2017, and supposedly even before that in the 2010 version of OWOT. The group is almost completely anonymous and functions as a hivemind, with their activities ranging from fighting spam to arguing with users at Spawn.
The '''Man Hating Zone''' was a faction of radical feminist trolls who have existed in YWOT since the early 2010s, and who took up a presence in OWOT around March 2021. The group is almost completely anonymous and functions as a hivemind, with their activities ranging from fighting spam to arguing with users at Spawn.


The MHZ is primarily known for writing a truly horrific amount of grotesque fanfictions, most of which are pornographic, incestuous, zoophilic and/or pedophilic in nature. And because many of these stories involve real (often underage) OWOT users, the MHZ is the subject of heavy controversy.

Throughout the early 2020s the MHZ have created multiple large-scale worlds within OWOT. The most notable of these are [https://ourworldoftext.com/mhz /mhz], which hosts their fanfics and [[art]], and [https://ourworldoftext.com/owotd /OWOTD], where they write down their opinions about the OWOT [https://ourworldoftext.com/permavirgin userbase].

As of 2024 the Man Hating Zone is largely dormant, but some parts of their worlds still receive regular updates to this day.
The Man Hating Zone became inactive in mid to late 2024.


Members of the Man Hating Zone are commonly known as "'''MHZers'''" or "'''Hivettes'''."

The MHZ has had a presence on the modern OWOT seemingly since its conception, but the faction was not mentioned on the [[OWOT Discord|Discord]] until March of 2021. It is likely that the [https://yourworldoftext.wiki/Brazilpocalypse 2020 YWOT Lockdown] played a role in the increase of Man Hating Zone activity on Our World of Text. Around this time the MHZ created several large-scale worlds and garnered a controversial reputation for writing erotica of underage users. They became involved in multiple conflicts, most notably against an invasion by 4chan's /mlp/ board. The various feuds of this era, along with the MHZ's opinions on the userbase at the time, have all been documented in /OWOTD.  
The MHZ was not mentioned on the [[OWOT Discord]] until March of 2021. It is likely that the [https://yourworldoftext.wiki/Brazilpocalypse 2020 YWOT Lockdown] drove them to migrate to OWOT en masse. Around this time the MHZ created several large-scale worlds and garnered a controversial reputation for writing erotica of underage users. They became involved in multiple conflicts, most notably against an invasion by 4chan's /mlp/ board. The various feuds of this era, along with the MHZ's opinions on the userbase at the time, have all been documented in /OWOTD.  


2022 appeared to have been the most active year for MHZer activity in recent times. The first half of that year saw them making a brief return to Your World of Text, where they could frequently be seen making crude jokes near Spawn, all while creating the odd ASCII art here and there. Most of the writings and art from this era have now been immortalized in /mhz.

By 2024, however, the MHZ appeared to have become almost entirely dormant. At that time there still seemed to be a few active members left, since parts of /mhz would continue to receive updates up until its final closure in April of 2025. As of 2025 the faction is believed to have left the site, though a few MHZ adjacent anons can still be seen in [[chat]] from time to time.

Several of the worlds in this section were created by [[Foam]], who is not explicitly proven to be a MHZer herself, but was at least respected by the MHZ.
 
=== /Feminism ===
[https://ourworldoftext.com/feminism /Feminism] is a world that contains a couple of MHZ-style writings. [https://ourworldoftext.com/feminist /Feminist] redirects to this page.
 
The world was created on March 28th, 2019.

The world is known for the amount of fan fiction, [[Art|ASCII art]], incestuous content, and strange posts on it. There's a "subzone" for owning "pet clowns", and fan fiction about random characters and numerous users of OWOT and YWOT. There are multiple cities and towns on MHZ. MHZ only allows original content.

/mhz goes from public to private on random months for construction.  
/mhz was likely created around March of 2021, alongside the first major surge of MHZ activity in OWOT. An anon from that time (''who was possibly a MHZer themselves'') claimed that the Man Hating Zone manually transferred all the content from their YWOT world [http://yourworldoftext.com/~manhatingzone /~manhatingzone] to this page. /~manhatingzone has been privated since the early 2020s at the latest.
 
/mhz goes from public to private on random months for construction. On one occasion it was also privated to prevent users from advertising it at Spawn, since the MHZ didn't want their world to receive unnecessary attention. The page was closed indefinitely starting from April 2025.  


From 2022 to 2024 the world was entirely member-only with only a few public spaces here and there. By 2025 this had been changed so that only community-created content was protected, while all other areas were open to public edits.<gallery widths="220" heights="100">

[https://ourworldoftext.com/WomanHatingZone /WomanHatingZone] and [https://ourworldoftext.com/whz /whz] are both private. It is unknown whether they are owned by the MHZ or by someone trying to spite them.


Just like /mhz, /OWOTD is split into multiple subsections, including a zone for copypastas about OWOT users and another area for [[OWOT Maps and Charts|user charts]].
On an unrelated note, the MHZ does seem own [https://www.yourworldoftext.com/~womanhatingzone /~womanhatingzone] on YWOT.


Most of the drama on this world seems to have been from 2021 to 2023, with 2022 being the most active year. The page had mostly died down by 2024 and is almost entirely dormant as of 2025. /OWOTD also includes a large amount of history for both OWOT and YWOT, with some factoids dating all the way back to 2010.

Some crimes featured here include:

# ''"OK once I was invited to Andrei's home and he didn't offer me any food. When he was hungry he told me to wait in his room while he went to the pantry, and 20 minutes later he came back he informed me he had eaten the last of the cereal, and if I was still hungry I should go home."''
# ''"i saw andrei rub a stick of deodorant over his teeth instead of brushing"''        
# ''"once in gym class he walked up behind me and grabbed my balls and squeezed them so hard it left his palm imprinted on my sack and i couldn't even walk right for two weeks afterwards and when i complained about it to him he said 'yeah, i guess that might hurt a little' and that really helped'"''
