| 1 | The terms: "Internalized Misogyny" and "Toxic Masculinity"I am an old left Marxist and globalist - but your constant resorting to the ad hominem makes a vastly superior argument for your ignorance than I ever could. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 07/02/26 02:31 AM |
| 1 | The terms: "Internalized Misogyny" and "Toxic Masculinity"People are only born trans, and it contains no psychological dimension - necessitating a response from society which is to gaslight, drug and disfigure healthy children and adolescents before they reach sufficient psychological and cognitive maturity to incorporate their gay, lesbian or other sexual identity.

| 1 | The terms: "Internalized Misogyny" and "Toxic Masculinity"You need to Google the word "Ideology" and then you can see that it doesnt matter what you put before it - it is bad. The point of any ideology is that it is resistant to evidence, dismissive of broader interests and it is pernicious - regardless of the focus. The good news is the vast majority of trans people are far to well informed and have too much self-respect to be associated with this destructive way of proposing society opperate. Trans ideologues and thoeir destructive ideology are a tre… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 06/02/26 06:07 AM |

If they (women) make the choice they do (avoiding the term "toxic femininity") for the reason you claim (not wanting to "look bad"), then does it not also FOLLOW that the word "misogyny" is itself is of equally low explanatory value as the word "internalised"?

| 3 | The terms: "Internalized Misogyny" and "Toxic Masculinity"You'll need to define "redditor-coded", because I presume on the evidence above that this term is of similar epistemological standing as "internalised misogyny".

| 11 | The terms: "Internalized Misogyny" and "Toxic Masculinity"Feminism has to ignore it - feminism is a Critical Theory and as such is, BY DESIGN reliant on an ASSUMED oppressor/oppressed binary. Without the presumption it has no ground from which to argue. If you allow evidence or nuance you destroy the binary and the resulting analysis. This ISNT a controversial view.

Emotional regulation, breathing, thinking, making good decisions and acting (or speaking) with purpose and clarity are the things that will save him. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 14/04/25 08:19 AM |

| 1 | What is your relationship with masculinity like?I see it as the small, but material behavioral and attitudinal differences I share with other men that my wife both laughs at and loves. There is a physicality to it and the mental or psychological component is one characterised by reductionism and a sense of action primacy. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 12/04/25 11:45 AM |

| 12 | How does being a men’s advocate affect your relationships?My wife, a feminist, is very understanding and supportive, because she saw how hard I worked decades ago to close the gap in girls education outcomes.

| 2 | Equality beings choice - and choice is what many women wantCouldn't agree more.

| -1 | Equality beings choice - and choice is what many women wantin Australia at least, the default position of the courts by law (unless violence is a concernn) is shared care, 50 / 50 and parents can negotiate from there, with an entire non legal ADR process set up to facilitate the share in order to avoid a court order. Gender is explicitly excluded from the courts considerations. Only the welfare of the child, and unless they are babies, this almost always means 50/50. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 06/04/25 03:09 PM |

In Australia at least, low cost (free for 3 days a week), high quality childcare means the primary caregiver can work in paid employment, or take care of parents etc... Both parents working when childcare is nearly free is nuts and I say that from a city with some of the highest housing costs in the world - Melbourne (usually in the top 10 global cities as a proportion of income).

| -6 | Equality beings choice - and choice is what many women wantMy wife's feminism isn't a threat to me, and she started following this thread a while back because she is a mother of a boy, understands my concerns and wants to be an ally to all decent men. I did warn her a few ratbags like you would be here, but she's plenty strong enough to speak for herself if she can be bothered at all. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 06/04/25 02:52 PM |
| 49 | Men were more lonely but now articles say women are more lonely. Why the change?I think loneliness surveys and related discussions, if not mythodologicaly comparable are unhelpful. If it is framed as having no one to call in an emergency, versus someone you are close to, versus a network you can rely on or access to intimate relationships of various kinds - you get different results by gender. My suspicion is a greater proportion of men have literally no one at all and have less acess to intimate relationships. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 06/04/25 08:20 AM |
| 2 | What's a good response or 'comeback' to the pick me girl insult?It is bullying. You'll have seen behaviour just like it just a few years ago in high school. Thank you for seeing men and boys as people and a lot of your insight comes from generations of reform to lift girls and women from the very same educational disadvantage boys now face. You are proof it was worth it. As for a comeback - you don't need it. Just be proud of your intelligence and compassion. I am sure your parents are. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 04/04/25 03:17 PM |
| 1 | I’m a woman and I want to helpWhat a wonderful post to read. Any an all female allies are welcome as we all bring something different to this important cause and your diagnosis of why men need female allies is spot on in my opinion. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 01/04/25 01:15 PM |
| 6 | Is the term "Incel" still considered a slur here?Yes It is almost universally USED as a slur by women and some dip shit men constantly. So much so it has lost its usefulness as a term for increasing nuance and understanding - which is the whole point of its use in this way by those people. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 31/03/25 12:34 AM |

| 1 | Labor And Men, Whats So Leftist About Mens Issues Anyways?If the left is interested in social progress, health, education, gender relations and addressing disadvantage - then of course men's issues are leftist causes.

| 1 | Most people on the Left need to stop thinking most Feminists are automatically not TERFS by default. There isn't a guaranteed chance that that a Feminist not transphobic.You know feminists can (and do) question the impact of trans women being in female specific spaces such as washrooms, sporting endeavours, refuges and prisons without being transphobic? It's exactly this sort of (ironically) binary thinking that's the problem. Some of them are transphobic TERFs however. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 21/03/25 03:30 AM |
| 1 | A helpful if flawed contribution from a feminist academicIt's clear you don't understand. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 12/03/25 06:06 AM |
| 1 | "Left-wing"I agree... Entirely. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 12/03/25 06:05 AM |
| 2 | A helpful if flawed contribution from a feminist academicI disagree. And you falsely suggest I expressed joy. All or nothing thinking will get you nowhere. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 11/03/25 08:24 AM |
| 1 | A helpful if flawed contribution from a feminist academicIt certainly is "well within the feminist paradigm" - precisely as one would expect from a feminist. So much so that even acknowledging men and boys have legitimate concerns seems noteworthy. The good news, at least from my my perspective, is I don't expect feminism to respond to me or men and boys. We are more than capable of doing if ourselves with female allies. I am delighted to see this happening more and more in our culture - curtailing feminist excesses. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 11/03/25 04:55 AM |
| 2 | A helpful if flawed contribution from a feminist academicIt's not my article. It is by a feminist author who, unlike many, acknowledges that the concerns of men are legitimate. I welcome that - but I also acknowledge what I don't like. 90 per cent of my post is what I don't like. That YOU are so incapable of understanding this and expect ME to defend the author having explained that I don't in my post and in the heading indicates you should seek help. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 09/03/25 10:59 PM |

| 16 | My answer on why men actually hate feminism.I am a man and I don't hate feminism (it's just freedom of expression, isn't a single thing and is eating itself alive before our eyes). I do however hate sexist attitudes that deny groups of people (in this case men) their legitimate concerns in relation to their education, health and wellbeing needs - and does by denying their inherent value, humanity and through damaging children (in this case boys). | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 09/03/25 09:35 AM |
| 4 | A helpful if flawed contribution from a feminist academicI don't have any problem with giving boys space to be themselves. My son is a young man with autism who is also a mathematical Wizz. Iy turns out being himself (whatever that is) is way more protective of his psychological health than being told to 'fit in it fuck off'.

Shove it in their face when someone tells you men are facing discriminationThe article is clear that this table does not adjust for type of offense and it goes further explaining that males do infect commit more serious efforts which explains the disparity. However this chart still refutes any claim of sexual discrimination, rather it demonstrates the justice system responding to offence severity above gender. If it demonstrates discrimination at all, it would cause a reasonable person to ask hard questions about why non-white ethnic minorities do so poorly.

| 5 | "Left-wing"An interesting experiment would be for someone to start a right wing version and see what happens. The men here seem mostly to put the debate about being allies into a wider socioeconomic context that doesn't deny any value in Feminism or argue for gendered roles, but rather seeks to temper the extremes of toxic forms of feminism and societies intolerance for discussing mens issues. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 03/03/25 12:35 PM |
