| 10 | Economist: Height preferences in relationships are just as strong today as they were two decades agoI do. Men are allowed to have emotions and feel hurt. They're allowed to talk about things even if you can't solve it. You can acknowledge there are bigger issues while still leaving space to be human. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 28/06/26 05:06 PM |
| 16 | Economist: Height preferences in relationships are just as strong today as they were two decades agoI mean, it's gonna always hurt on some level. Even as a guy in a relationship (with another guy), knowing that the world looks down on you and kinda treats you as inferior for being short isn't great and there's no way to make it great. In that way I see it the same as my disabilities; ableism will never go away and that's always going to hurt. I don't spend that much time thinking on it because, well, I have a lot of other things to think about. I have a lot of things I love and enjoy and I'd r… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 28/06/26 04:55 PM |
| 2 | "I hate men!" (...but not that man)I know it's more nuanced in reality, but I have a personal policy for safety of assuming every woman who says they hate men while attracted to them is or would be abusive towards her partner. At the very least, I think it would have some similar mental health effects on the male partner to emotional abuse. "You're the exception," does not spare. As other comments said, does being told you're "one of the good ones" by a racist partner undo the damage? Not really, and in some ways it's more insidi… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 28/06/26 04:30 PM |
| 8 | TYT the Leftist media criticizes AOC for mocking that guy for being short... Surprise ehSomebody I used to speak to told me that 5'11" is a baby. To make it more bizarre, she was from a country where the average height for men is ~5'6". Still kinda hard to believe she actually said that. I wish people talked more about the unrealistic body (and personality) standards women set for others and how their community spaces & romance media shapes it. That's not to say enjoying unrealistic or uncommon body types is wrong, it's just women do not have the same social pressure to be realisti… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 18/10/25 09:08 PM |
| 3 | Support subreddits?Thank you, that’s a good space to have. What I wanted to talk about isn’t specifically abuse, it’s more about how social attitudes and things I’ve internalized lead me to act in ways I wish I didn’t with women. Specifically when trying to be friends or “hang out” with women / in women-dominated spaces. Being abused is part of why I have these issues, but it’s broader. It’s about internalized misandry and how I suppress parts of myself because masculinity and being male is often treated negativel… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 14/08/25 06:56 PM |
| 18 | ‘It’s other men who rape men not women’It’s important to acknowledge & share, not diminishing that, but I want to say that it says a lot about someone to not take it seriously even if it was mostly men raping other men They don’t genuinely care about rape or abuse for ethical reasons, it’s to fit their political label. Gendering & politicizing abuse is such a terrible fucking idea | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 14/04/25 05:02 PM |
| 2 | Is this okay? A top comment on one of the most popular movie platforms promotes sexism and misandry.When I check Letterboxd reviews I often see misandry. In general Letterboxd reviews are bad. It has a problem with hateful or rude comments, or non-harmful but unhelpful insider jokes, often 1 sentence, instead of actually being reviews. I imagine it’s mostly teens who’re trying to fit in. That’s not to say that comment isn’t fucked up, it is and I think there should be some kind of consequence to saying shit like that. But I’m not surprised at all.

I am aware romance can be smut, but it is not what comes to mind including in the original post. I expect if it was in this context someone would’ve been clear about that. Esp.

| 2 | An Old Woman Gave me Romance Novels When I Was a ChildI said giving a non-sexual romance book would be sexual abuse if the intent was grooming. Grooming does not have to be explicit sexual content. “Innocent” romance can be grooming. I didn’t that giving a smut book isn’t grooming. It is, and that’s what I said: “unless it was an adult / sexual romance book.” Also please read my other comments beneath this. I agree what happent to OP was sexual abuse after he explaint it.

| 2 | An Old Woman Gave me Romance Novels When I Was a ChildThat makes sense. It’s a good point. I guess I don’t think that of people who beat their children or other normalized abuse even if they think it’s beneficial. I think there’s a part of them doing it to harm, control, acting on instinct or repeat their own trauma rather than truly or fully believing it’s healthy. But it’s possible and in that case I’d agree yes it’s still abuse. It still feels different from the thought I’m having of this scenario. I am not sure why, if there is a legit reason o… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 18/01/25 02:03 PM |
| 6 | An Old Woman Gave me Romance Novels When I Was a ChildI agree it’s a form of sexual abuse (assuming the person knew / they didn’t forget what the book was about). Showing children visual pornography or telling them explicit sexual things about others is abuse, I don’t think it makes sense for graphic writing to be excluded. Thank you for explaining it was graphic. Why do you think she didn’t mean anything but also that it was abuse? Abuse has some intent at least subconsciously.

| 10 | An Old Woman Gave me Romance Novels When I Was a ChildUnless it was an adult / sexual romance book or she was giving it with intention to groom you, making inappropriate comments as she handed it to you, it’s not a form of sexual abuse. You’re still allowed to be upset by it and it could’ve impacted you negatively even if it’s not sexual abuse. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 17/01/25 09:47 PM |

Unfortunately I cannot go no contact with my family like I wanted. But for now it should be enough. Very low contact. Hopefully in a year or two I will be able to move again and not have them know my address. I’m a little upset I probably won’t have enough time to decorate for Christmas. But it’s ok. I will celebrate Christmas in January instead. | /r/MenSupportMen | 04/12/24 07:31 PM |
| 10 | What is your response to "abuse towards women was normal back then"?Abuse towards others has always been normalized and it still is. It’s not gendered and it’s not new. If someone says this then I think they don’t believe abuse is abuse unless it fits an arbitrary narrow definition they get from the culture they grew up and/or currently live in. I wouldn’t respond, I’d probably avoid them. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 20/11/24 04:39 PM |

Despite being here for 3 years and my flair I don't feel a connection to term left-wing/leftist or any political label.

I haven't heard people say that but I've heard people argue similar things, like missing eating certain foods is worse than being gassed.

| 2 | We shouldn't have a unattractive men vs attractive men mentality.It’s not for you or me or anyone else to decide that. That’s not how mental health works. If someone is hurting and don’t think the good in their life outweighs it, they’re going to hurt and the good isn’t going to outweigh it.

| 4 | Androcide (Gendercide): Women and Children First in Emergencies is not a Myth & Titanic wasnt an ExceptionOkay. I agree with you that we should prioritize net good / what helps most sentient individuals over just 1 individual. If we care about an individual (we should) it follows to want to help as many of these individuals as possible. I disagree on what you consider good & bad. Good is reducing suffering.

| 1 | It is sad when showing affection to your male children is treated as something inappropriate. This is also a reason why solution to male problems cannot come from the right wingUnfortunately that makes me uncomfortable as well. I feel disgust and fear. Though I can see it’s my trauma from incestous abuse causing a distorted view of healthy parental relationships. I don’t support a world where boys or any kid is withheld parental affection from their guardians. I don’t know who these people are so maybe I’m missing important context, but from what’s given I empathize without condoning his behaviour.

I've had many bad experiences with them so I'm scared but I don't want to live miserable over this forever. Now it's more of problems getting a new therapist. Hopefully it'll be done soon. I think talking to someone who understands would he… | /r/MenSupportMen | 22/05/22 05:22 AM |
| 7 | Any other guys molested by their sister growing up?Thank you for your kindness and linking that subreddit. If there's no one here I will crosspost this to there. Yes I have. It's a long story. The only person that helpt was a guidance counsellor in highschool. I really appreciated her. | /r/MenSupportMen | 22/05/22 04:17 AM |
| 2 | Weekend check-inDo you know why it’s harder for you at night? Our reasons might be different, but nights are hard for me too. The sun always comes back. It’s one of the few things you can 100% depend on. Remembering the sun isn’t gone forever, only a few hours, helps me get through my hardest nights now. | /r/MenSupportMen | 01/05/22 03:12 PM |
| 2 | Mid-week check-inThank you 💜 I hope you’re doing alright | /r/MenSupportMen | 21/04/22 10:58 PM |
| 2 | Mid-week check-inThank you for the encouragement! I am making progress. It seems my father has too. I called him expecting him to still treat me like a soldier. Being treated like his son was a nice surprise. So we’ve been talking since. I will try to fix our relationship if he continues trying too. :) | /r/MenSupportMen | 21/04/22 06:50 PM |
| 3 | Mid-week check-inLast night I talked to my father (phone call) for the first time in ~a year, I haven’t seen him in person in 2+ years. I was trying to avoid contact with him all that time because I hated him. I’m starting to have sympathy(?) for him. We’re a lot alike, physically & our personalities, good & bad. So I had to call him to say sorry. I was expecting him to get angry, yell, threaten me, insult me, he didn’t do that. He didn’t get irritated at all. He was a little open with me. I got the bravery to t… | /r/MenSupportMen | 19/04/22 04:18 PM |
| 1 | Mid-week check-inIt’s hard to explain the situation. I’m worried about someone finding out what I told the therapist and punishing me. Or the therapist not taking me seriously. | /r/MenSupportMen | 26/03/22 04:38 PM |
| 3 | No matter what I do, I'm the bad guy.Wow. Your mother sounds similar to mine, including the things you added in the comments/replies. Every side does have a story. My side doesn't get heard. And I'm so alone and so isolated that I'm this close to breaking out and screaming at somebody. This stuck out to me. It's very relatable. Back in October on another site I wrote a post that was about the same general struggles you're talking about. I wrote it because I was isolated and needed someone to hear my side. You're not selfish for try… | /r/MenSupportMen | 22/03/22 01:54 AM |
| 2 | Weekend check-inHappy Spring!! I’m proud to make it through Winter. Winter is hard. To anyone reading this that struggles in Winter too, I’m proud of you. Taking it day by day helps me. I learnt taking it season by season helps me a bit more. | /r/MenSupportMen | 20/03/22 09:48 AM |
| 1 | Mid-week check-inI broke my 5 month sober streak last night. When I woke up I was pissed and said I won’t do it again but I’m drunk again. My uncle is visiting, I love him very much, I wish he was my father. I’m scared of others so I’m not close to him even though I love him. He’s here but I can’t say anything I want to say to him. I don’t want him to leave me. I want him to stay. He’ll visit again so I don’t know why I stress over him “leaving me forever.” I want to hug him. | /r/MenSupportMen | 10/03/22 06:16 AM |
| 2 | Weekend check-inIt’s mental disabilities for me too. Talking to your parents & MH team seems like a good idea. I couldn’t try to apply myself. I’m really lucky. Many people like me are abandoned by their families, they have no one to help them apply. Not very accessible to the people that need it 🙍♂️ You’re welcome!!! Happy to help if I can | /r/MenSupportMen | 07/03/22 07:37 AM |
| 2 | Weekend check-inI don’t understand much the process (that’s why she’s applying me). It seemt my father had a hard time. It worked out in the end for him. I’m not sure if we should expect the same difficulty as his. Since his situation was very different to mine. Maybe easier or harder. I’ll try to update you :) | /r/MenSupportMen | 06/03/22 06:46 AM |
| 2 | Weekend check-inI called my parent earlier. It was weird. I ended up crying, and she was nice to me. She said she wouldn't leave me on the streets. She said nice things to me. These nice moments are confusing because there's a lot of bad ones I remember. I can't really talk about it more than that, but wanted to share that, it's a big thing on my mind. She's trying to apply me for disability. Many thoughts on that, good & bad. I'll probably make a thread later. I imagine there's disabled men here that can give … | /r/MenSupportMen | 05/03/22 03:51 AM |
| 2 | Mid-week check-inI want to talk to someone about something I went through when I was younger but I’m scared of the reactions. I can’t tell a therapist about it. I don’t think anyone can understand but I need someone to. I want help. | /r/MenSupportMen | 03/03/22 12:58 AM |
| 5 | The world sucks (so do my title skills). But you matter.Thank you for this subreddit and LWMA. These subreddits help me feel less alone and pessimistic. LWMA has given me great information and interesting things to think about. I respect you and the other mods a lot. You guys are awesome. :) | /r/MenSupportMen | 27/02/22 11:53 AM |
| 6 | Weekend check-inI’m happy :) On the 16th a lot of fears & hopelessness I had was fixed. I can’t go into detail but I’m really happy and relieved. Still a good amount of shit left but Im feeling hopeful. Maybe things will be OK after all. It’s nice. I’m glad I got to be here for it. I hope you guys have some great news soon too :) 💜 | /r/MenSupportMen | 18/02/22 08:21 PM |
| 1 | Weekend check-inI appreciate your response. I can't think of anything big I can control. What I can control are little things like what song I'm listening to. I'm an adult but I have disorders that make me have to depend on others. I don't know what's best for me. I was thinking of making a thread here about it but it's such a confusing situation especially if I have to censor some info that I'm not sure if there's a point. | /r/MenSupportMen | 13/02/22 12:46 AM |
| 3 | Weekend check-inI'm stressed. I've got too many uncontrollable issues in my life, it's a confusing mess. What seemt to be my escape I learnt a few days ago might be even worse. I don't know if I should take the potential escape or not. Positive thoughts can't get me out of this. I keep thinking about relapsing to cope. I won't but the urges aren't fun. No idea what's going on with the psychiatrist now and that's a new uncontrollable issue :( | /r/MenSupportMen | 12/02/22 03:32 AM |
| 2 | Am I wrong or crazy for thinking this way?You're not wrong or crazy for thinking that. If you are then at least there's two of us. I think you're right. I can't comment on that subreddit because I've never browsed it. In general that's what I see and it's why I stick to this subreddit. It seems the only place I could write about struggles in my life without being ridiculed (thanks mods (: ). There's more reasons I tend to stay quiet but misandry is a big one. | /r/MenSupportMen | 11/02/22 07:57 AM |
| 2 | Mid-week check-inI quit cold turkey :) I had problems with other drugs in the past so I had faith in myself I could do it. I'm a skeptic with low self-esteem too. Trusting myself at least enough to quit & being proud is new for me. Thank you for the message. I'll try my best. | /r/MenSupportMen | 24/01/22 07:14 AM |
| 2 | Mid-week check-inToday marks 1 month without nicotine. I'm proud of that. I did it on my own. I avoided drinking during the holidays :) I've been doing ... since I made a post on this sub last month. I was doing awesome, now I'm not doing good. I'm doing better than I used to when I felt bad. I'm less harsh on myself, can find ways to work around wanting to lay in bed all day, coping better with suicidal thoughts. I should be proud of that & I am, but I feel guilty for "falling back." The main thing bothering me… | /r/MenSupportMen | 20/01/22 12:25 AM |
