Any construct that coerces people to perform gender roles as if they're expected to behave and be certain things just because of the reproductive organs they were born with, is inherently limiting and harmful by default. It also creates a false polarity and marginalizes all of the diverse gender expression that exists between m/f | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 01/07/26 11:34 PM |
| 1 | CNN featured a $5,000 camp that 'reframes' men away from their masculinity. Is this #ProgressiveConversionTherapy?Masculinity is a made up social construct just like feminity. It's completely subjective and based on performance of made up roles. Both binary gender performances are harmful to all humans. You're right and this sub has a lot more unscientific conservative "male advocates" who don't get this. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 28/06/26 09:06 AM |

I'm queer and non-binary and there is no space I've come across that wasn't rampant with normalized misandry. Especially in the West. They're also quite racist.

| 10 | Here is an interesting - and arguably rare - example of a scholar labeling herself as feminist approaching an aspect of male sexuality and identity in (what I would argue is) a supportive and male-positive wayThe laws in India are drafted by privileged Indian feminists who study white feminism in University and online. Most laws in India are British colonial laws that are attempted to be modified a bit to Indian society, and reactionary in nature. Find a country truly untouched by Western colonization, and you will see significantly less influence of white feminism there. The countries you named are all heavily West-centering and imperialized.

The continual process of dehumanizing men is a white feminist strategy, that influences the world but cannot fully take control of it. The rest of the world manages to still see men as humans beings on the odd occasion, especially if their education is based in eastern spiritual / collectivist philosophy | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 10/04/26 06:25 PM |
| 5 | What are flaws of a socialist system, and can a system like this harm men/Socialism on its own is egalitarian. Operating in a de-colonized way, it is benefiting both men and women's issues. Especially since men make up the vast majority of labour class jobs and are impacted by capitalistic oppression. Socialism mixed in with an oppressive system is what will, and has, caused harm. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 22/03/26 09:24 PM |

This is surprising for the Leftist misandry he's surrounded by, and hopeful.I 100% agree that a significant amount of damage is done by the hypocrisy of patriarchal gender roles being enforced on men even by liberal feminists, however it is also up to men to reject those roles in unison, in the same way women are rejecting theirs. If only one man walks away from his gender role. He is going to be outcast.

But individual misandry is not, and never was, the primary cause of male loneliness and isolation. It takes entire socio-economic systems to do that. Not a few angry feminists with clout. Men also embraced and normalised misogyny for very long before women collectively resisted it and demanded that men do better - this had direct effects.

Podcast bros didn't coin it (the US surgeon general did with his declaring loneliness as a crisis) but podcast bros did popularize it in mass media and on social media, with knee jerk reactions from feminist social clouts.

This is definitely a misandry issue, probably one of the most pressing ones that intersects with racism too. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 23/01/25 01:10 AM |

| -3 | Opinion on TheTinMenThis is the exact criticism white feminists have faced during the first waves of feminism. The "majority of women in the US are white" and so they completely neglected women's issues faced by black women, immigrant women, etc who faced the worst of the oppression in the 20th century. Male advocacy turning into white male advocacy just because of the numerical majority in a country is that exact same issue. If your advocacy cannot stand up for the most marginalized men, it is not egalitarian and … | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 31/12/24 09:39 AM |
| 0 | Opinion on TheTinMenYes yes, racial micro-aggressions and ignorance are "just jokes", victims of racism "need to have thicker skin", etc anything else you want to quote out of the white supremacist textbook? You're no men's ally. 92% of men on this planet are not white and not living in the West. They're the ones being bombed by the West.

| 1 | What do you think are important safety tips for men when dating?Yeah I agree being male is the major determinant of police/systemic prejudice in a domestic / intimate partner setting, racial prejudice just doubles it. The biggest factor in my case is that it was a white woman - white women wield the highest legal / public / cultural power in the West. Also you should look into the origin and meaning behind "Aryan". The word is indigenous, and existed long before a racial fascist appropriated and tarnished it in the 20th century :) | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 15/12/24 12:41 AM |
| 7 | What do you think are important safety tips for men when dating?It isn't legal to carry concealed combat knives for sure. But imagine a male dark skinned immigrant going to a white police officer and telling them they felt threatened by a white woman local. The systemic racialized misandry is too scary to even attempt a police complaint because of fear of consequences on an immigrant's public and legal status. Not enough Left advocates talk about the power dynamics that cripple male immigrant men from the global South who migrate to North America / Europe. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 14/12/24 08:27 PM |

She invited me over and didn't disclose the body knife (it was massive) until I was inside her house. When I told her I was very uncomfortable that she carries lethal weapons on dates in public places and doesn't tell you until you're inside her house, and she flipped completely.

| 1 | How open is this sub to working with feminists?I find that there is absolutely immense common ground between male advocates, egalitarians, and indigenous feminists especially from the Global South. You start seeing an incompatibility when feminism is informed by (and dominated by) white feminism from the West - which carries all the colonial roots of extraction, Othering and race/class blindness that are incompatible with equality on their own. The kind of feminism that has evolved from indigenous people and women of colour has been a lot mo… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 12/12/24 06:50 AM |

| 27 | Male sexual harassment in Japan.Misandry is significantly worse against Asian men. Sexual objectification, body shaming, dick shaming and so on.

| 4 | TW: Indian actor & activist Shivam Patil was sexually assaulted by white woman in Canada, highlighting the power dynamics of racial misandry and the selective biases within the #MeToo movementI'm sorry you experienced harassment like that. Older women in particular are well known for inappropriate touching and objectifying younger men. When you add racial power dynamics to this it becomes even worse. That this escalated way beyond butt grabbing, in public, is horrifying. Especially the reactions of other people in the situation to it happening in front of them. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 23/08/24 12:09 AM |

| 51 | TW: Indian actor & activist Shivam Patil was sexually assaulted by white woman in Canada, highlighting the power dynamics of racial misandry and the selective biases within the #MeToo movementThe posts address this - how feminism + capitalism have dehumanized male lives SO MUCH that to even feel any empathy for a male survivor, people need to "reverse the situation and imagine if this happened to a woman" somehow without this reversal people struggle to even feel empathy. This is so fucked up. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 22/08/24 09:37 PM |
| 13 | Conservatism is deeply misandristOh we absolutely are. The moment you realize feminism and patriarchy are actually best buddies at ganging up to ruin men's issues, you wake up in the 21st century. The most telling thing is feminists want to dismantle only parts of patriarchy that benefit them, they are happy to keep the parts of patriarchy that are advantages to them like dating norms, male sexual violence victims not having laws to protect themselves, war being a male-conscription forced issue, etc | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 17/08/24 08:20 AM |

| 3 | Why are short men more likely to commit suicideThis is what women who spoke up about fat-shaming were also told. But they support each other and keep speaking up and find more allies. Height discrimination needs a similar persistence especially when it's tying into a major global conversation around male mental health advocacy which needs more male voices in it! | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 05/08/24 04:50 AM |

Not just "shorter" men, but men above the average height or those in that "perfect" height range for their part of the world also need to call it out. These toxic societal standards have shaped toxic masculine "preferences", and they're so arbitrary, they have nothing to do with any actual positive traits / features in men.

| 10 | Menslib being menslibThe reason they push this disinformation around false allegations is to prevent legislation around it. So that the real stats never make it into pressuring government policy into criminally punishing a false allegation appropriately in a way that deters them. And no, defamation suits are not a workaround, a false allegation must be punishable by at least 50% of the criminal sentence of the allegation that was made. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 29/07/24 11:18 PM |

| 4 | Feminist here. I was wondering this: why is it ok to speak out against white racism, and heterophobia, but speaking out against misandry, you’re considered an anti-feminist/misogynist.This analogy is, unfortunately, also a false equivalence. Racism is a far more systemic and ancient form of oppression with significantly worse consequences than gender. Race is directly and completely connected to systems of class privilege. Gender is not. You can much easily have a wealthy white woman and a poor black man from the Global South - suddenly gender "power dynamics" completely fall apart there because other, deeper and more collectively lethal systems of power take hold. It is very… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 27/07/24 03:00 AM |

Indian domestic violence laws are also gender-restricted.The man thought he dodged a bullet by changing his mind about marrying her, but often abusive women will escalate hate crime instead of leaving it alone. For all the fun made of men who can't deal with rejection, men are very used to it at this point.
