If you scroll Mark Anthony Stephens’ feed long enough, you’ll eventually arrive at the recurring theme of his entire If you scroll Mark Anthony Stephens’ feed long enough, you’ll eventually arrive at the recurring theme of his entire narrative: He is the true victim. His latest post—a shared meme warning parents to arm their sons with body cameras and notepads to protect them from women—makes one thing painfully clear: Mark isn’t just dodging accountability; he’s setting up a preemptive alibi for every consequence he’s ever faced.

“There’s a war on men,” the meme declares. But in Mark’s case, the only war being waged is against the facts.

This post isn’t new territory. It’s part of a larger pattern of rewriting history to absolve himself from any wrongdoing. With hashtags like #FalseRestrainingOrders and #TruthMatters, he projects an image of persecution, conveniently ignoring that both of his ex-wives have permanent restraining orders against him. Not temporary. Not pending. Permanent. You don’t get two permanent restraining orders from two separate women by accident. You earn them.

In Mark’s case, what he labels as “false evidence” has often come in the form of:

• Medical evaluations from licensed child psychiatrists detailing how his presence directly worsens his son’s eating disorder and mental health
• Eyewitness accounts of his disruptive behavior at children’s sporting events—like laughing while his guest screamed obscenities at parents and children
• Documented court findings from CPS, GALs, and multiple legal hearings that consistently find him in contempt or unfit for unsupervised contact, or any contact for that matter
• And most damning of all—there is video evidence of Mark physically and emotionally abusing his current wife. That’s not speculation. That’s not hearsay. That’s not a meme. That’s a camera capturing reality.

But instead of doing the hard work of introspection or complying with court-ordered evaluations, Mark reaches for memes and martyrdom. It’s easier to cry “war on men” than to admit that your own actions are the reason your children don’t feel safe around you.

The true danger isn’t a fabricated war on men—it’s men like Mark convincing other men that accountability is persecution, that consequences are conspiracies, and that the truth is whatever makes them feel most vindicated.

To be clear, false accusations are serious and real. But Mark Stephens invoking that cause is not about justice. It’s about deflection. It’s about hijacking legitimate issues to avoid facing his own reflection.

So no, Mark. You weren’t ambushed by some grand scheme. You were held accountable—just not as often or as thoroughly as you should’ve been.
