22	Am I the only one who just doesn’t like the concept of “masculinity”? I don't like it either, I just want to live my life the way I want to. Even 'positive' masculinity is used to enforce the same old gender roles. It's why I've opted out from relationships, there are too many people who think a man should fall in line with traditional gender roles. Even people who claim to be 'progressive' will give you grief for not conforming. Sure, they might say they want to destroy male gender roles, but when you give them specific examples, they just think you're a misogyni…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	08/05/25 05:24 PM
19	Women Have More Legal Rights Than Men in Western Countries. Very true, especually regarding the emotional justifications for laws/policies which favour women. I cannot think of a single legal right that men exclusively have either. Maybe in some countries women cannot go topless, but even where it's legal, women don't go topless anyway. Regarding reproductive rights, women have complete control over decisions such as whether to have an abortion. Men, however, have no say in these matters, even if they are involved in the situation. This lack of legal con…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	05/05/25 09:08 AM
7	Expanding on the topic of middle-aged men seeking medical help before suicide! Only able to skim through the third source at the moment. So around 40% of middle-aged men who committed suicide had sought help from a GP (general practitioner) Not sure where that AI tool is getting that number, the study you linked claims double that number. Figure 8 shows the pattern of lifetime and recent contact with front-line services and their recognition of risk. 91% middle-aged men had been in contact with at least one service or agency at some time. This was most often with primary c…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	17/04/25 03:36 PM
42	What is feminism? It's not to do with random comments from nobody internet feminists. That's pretty far down in the list of grievances. It's more to do with feminist organisations and politicians who have influence and power. The most recent post regarding female perpetrated domestic violence is a great example, as are the links gratis_eekhoorn has provided. It's impossible not to attack them because they are the cause of many of our issues.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	09/04/25 08:55 PM
48	feminists can't claim feminism is about equality and not also advocate for equality for men. I agree. I wouldn't have an issue with it if they were okay with men having their own spaces or movements to tackle these issues. Problem is they don't like the idea because they dislike not being in control of the narrative. In the UK, the legal definition of rape requires an organ or an object to be inserted into the victim. This erases the cases where a man was forced to penetrate. This is also a significant reason why the victim percentages differ significantly. Not any organ, but specifical…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	08/04/25 06:07 PM
6	TheTinMen's post on men is really heartbreaking Not because of his content, iirc he wanted to take over moderation for the sub and had some big arguments with the mods.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	03/04/25 04:31 AM
18	Benevolent sexism and rigid male gender roles are the reasons why male privilege can exist in the first place. Agreed. I do household chores myself and don't need anyone doing it for me so I am not looking for this hybrid modern, traditional lifestyle or even a true traditional lifestyle where I am expected to be a workhorse. This is a large part of why I am staying single if my current relationship ends. The 'our money and her money' mentality is extremely common where I live. Nowadays, relationship double standards get justified with 'when men can get pregnant... then we will stop so and so', like some…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	28/03/25 03:00 PM
23	Boys to get anti-misogyny lessons as TV drama Adolescence hits home They will continue to act bewildered about why men don't report abuse and deny that it's not taken seriously at a systemic level.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	23/03/25 11:38 PM
13	This community needs to open up to the idea feminism to at least some degree. The concealment and manipulation to acquire the data they desire has done so much harm to men, especially in regards to abuse. Both in how society treats male victims ('women have it worse'), and the lack of services and shelters for them.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	17/03/25 01:39 AM
32	This community needs to open up to the idea feminism to at least some degree. What is this, fucking feminism defence week? Where did all of you people come from? I dunno about OP but there's another guy using all the typical buzzwords, who seems to want to make this place into menslib 2.0. It's probably a brigade or collaborated effort.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	16/03/25 01:00 PM
15	This community needs to open up to the idea feminism to at least some degree. I actually don't know anyone who calls themselves a feminist irl. Not surprising given a recent poll showed that most don't identify as one.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	16/03/25 12:36 PM
33	This community needs to open up to the idea feminism to at least some degree. What makes it worse is that social scientific studies are very easy to manipulate. One that feminists love bringing up is that 'men leave sick wives'. They don't specify who initiated the divorce or why it happened, one of them was even retracted after another group researchers failed replicate their findings, oops I guess but the damage is done.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	16/03/25 12:31 PM
74	This community needs to open up to the idea feminism to at least some degree. I would be more open to the idea if feminists organisations and politicians i.e. the ones who have actual power to make change, were accepting of men's issues or at the very least just indifferent towards them. Instead, they go out their way to minimise them and cause more roadblocks for men. From what I've seen, a lot Reddit feminists think that even menslib is a misogynistic space so I can't imagine them cooperating with us. Of course, I may be wrong.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	16/03/25 11:57 AM
5	My "the convenience of not all men " theory is proven in these screenshots. Yeah. The utter hypocrisy of certain modern women who talk about equality but then demand that men remain their provider workhorse and emotional support, although that support tends to be a one way street so an emotional punching bag is probably more appropriate. Meanwhile feminists complain about the wage gap and women doing the bulk of 'emotional labor'.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	16/03/25 11:25 AM
18	My "the convenience of not all men " theory is proven in these screenshots. Pick and mix from equality and traditionalism based on how it benefits them.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	15/03/25 02:01 AM
5	Practically speaking, men need to focus more on elaborating the difficulties we are facing and stop hating on other groups of people, even if the hatred is well-justified If someone does, they're quick to point out 'no one said that'. Can't use their own logic against them, it's infuriating lol.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	15/03/25 01:29 AM
48	When a man is the abuser vs when a woman is the abuser Their insistence on using the term toxic masculinity instead of misandry or internalised misandry says it all. If you ask them to describe toxic masculinity, the root cause given is misogyny. If you ask them to describe toxic femininity, the root cause given is also misogyny lol. What they really want to say is misandry is not real and men are to blame for their own problems (patriarchy).	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	08/03/25 04:31 PM
56	When a man is the abuser vs when a woman is the abuser The same old gamma bias. Man does something bad > exaggerate how rampant it is and claim it's a gendered issue Woman does something bad > minimise it, claim it's rare and use neutral non-gendered language This is reversed when they do something positive.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	08/03/25 04:23 PM
7	Perpetrators of violence against men hate men no less than perpetrators of violence against women hate women If you can prove that the act of violence was due to misogyny, then why would the gender of the aggressor be relevant?	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	20/02/25 12:28 AM
