| 11 | Are young men THAT conservative?This is why Trump won this last time! The anti male hate has been building over the last 20 years and it wouldn't be so bad if it was equal amoung all sexes and races. But it's not, young white men are receiving hate for the crimes of their forefathers, literally being held back purposely in society and they are left with only 1 side that doesn't openly say they are hated. While I can agree the right is abysmal on nearly every level, what they have not done is try to shame our young men for thin… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 26/06/26 06:15 PM |

If many boys and young men turn to this type of relationship then the remaining men and boys have even less reason to be respectful towards women! If the stats from online dating hasn't already shown what is happening to raise some alarms, well when the only men left are in high demand they have zero reason or threat to treat women well and not use them. Why would a guy be faithful? Why would he stick around to raise his kids if many women are vying for his attention? Why does … | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 30/04/26 06:03 PM |

The issue is no longer about the number being wrong and spread because people where either too incompetent to read the article or pushing an agenda.

I'd rather have people fighting for my safety who not only want to be there but are also not a detriment to others alongside them. Could I take a life? Think I could if I absolutely had to. Does that mean I'd be an effective soldier when I'm given orders my moral compass doesn't align with? Could I fire blindly at people I'm being told are a threat if I can't discern that myself?

| 4 | I really ate how many of men’s problems are branded as their/patriarchy’s/misogyny’s faultIts crazy that lots of research has come out talking about how different species develop different types of societies. Its starting to look like the society in question mostly depends on in group vs outside group fighting. If their is more competition inside the group then its matriarchal, if their is more fighting outside of the group is patriarchal. So societies where groups compete with other groups for resources males tend to be in charge. If instead resources need to be controlled within th… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 21/01/25 08:07 PM |
| 1 | This is disappointing to read:While that is true, you have to ask why do boys when we are young before puberty view girls as gross or barely friends. Yet when puberty hits the idea of having a girlfriend is much stronger? While yes, women offer men far more than just sex but when you think about it everything you mentioned that men want from women they can acquire from male friendships, or friendships in general! The male libido, actually libido itself, is what drives the sexes together. Our desire to reproduce is what attra… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 10/01/25 02:21 PM |
| 4 | This is disappointing to read:Sex robots! When a guy can purchase a robot for 10k or less and it can provide womens sexuality in a way we are going to see a MASSIVE change in society. Certain industries will fall, mens libido has propped up our economy and society in so many ways it will only be noticed when men are no longer chasing women. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 09/01/25 11:01 PM |

Many of the things suggested today to help with mens mental health was brought up over 40 years ago! Unfortunately if you look at whats happened over the last 40 years you can see how feminism has been responsible for most of these issues (inadvertently).

| 0 | [Male health]: Why do almost all mammals have foreskins?Evolution has no moral compass! This discussion started off the basis of evolution and you're the one putting feelings and morals into it. I said we all could chop our dicks off and evolution wouldn't even know. I can say such a thing because even though in my opinion that would really fucking suck, evolution wouldn't be affected by it if our species kept procreating! What you're missing is evolution can't keep up with us anymore. Obesity is a direct result of evolution, do you want to argue and… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 23/12/24 06:14 AM |
| -1 | [Male health]: Why do almost all mammals have foreskins?Heres a head scratcher for you! The reason males have a higher libido then women is the same reason we produce sperm 24/7. Females of nearly all species can only get pregnant at certain times. Therefore the male needs to be willing and able to have sex no matter when that is, or who it is with so that the species could reproduce. The reason men have a high libido is because our sex hormone makes sperm 24/7 and evolution found that males who where up for sex at any time successfully reproduced mo… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 20/12/24 10:05 PM |

In the future the penis itself might be useless to us humans and we may go and not stop at foreskin removal but entire penile tissue removal! Evolution DOES NOT CARE! Actually no, the barbed penis of the cat for instance is to make sure the sperm deposited into the female cat stays there. You can literally see how that would have evolved that way just by doing some basic reasoning. A cat a million or so years ago had a mutation that created s… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 20/12/24 09:54 PM |

I'll read the paper when you ask ANY man you know if he has ever been hit by a "girl" at all in his life. When everyone you ask answers "yes" please go and ask any woman if shes ever been hit by a boy in her life, when HALF of them come back as "No" I'll read your study!

The premise wasn't moral, nor psychological it was preluded to be based on evolution! We can do whatever we want to our bodies, it has zero effect on evolution! Unless we modify our genes, our DNA, then nothing we do to ourselves is going to affect evolution. We all could cut off an arm and evolution is not going to care, we're still going to grow 2 damn arms in the future!

Most studies i've heard explain that in instances of domestic violence its almost equal. Logically speaking and from countless and countless video examples I've seen since the internet began showing videos. You can see a woman hit a man, sometimes multiple times before he hits her back! That plays out in domestic violence situations a LOT! Not always, but enough that the only reason its shown as domestic violence towards women in that situation is because generally… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 19/12/24 11:00 PM |
| -3 | [Male health]: Why do almost all mammals have foreskins?Ok, I think you don't really understand what evolution is or how it works. It DOES not care if something makes us feel better unless it helps us reproduce. Evolution happens because of reproduction. If sex only had to be pleasurable then why are some mammals equipped with a barbed penis? Why do Praying Mantis kill the male after he's done? Why do some species not even engage in sex but instead just carpet bomb their sperm? I'm telling you, evolution does not care about how "happy" we are, unless… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 19/12/24 10:47 PM |
| -6 | [Male health]: Why do almost all mammals have foreskins?I think you missed the entire point here. It's not necessary for reproduction anymore and that's the only thing evolution takes into account! Having or not having it is neither stopping us nor making us more able to reproduce. From an evolutionary standpoint the importance of foreskin is long past something that is beneficial to us now. You can list all the benefits of it all you want, none of them really matter in this day and age anymore. And body hair can absolutely be used as a comparative e… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 19/12/24 07:06 PM |

We are born naked, yet we don't have as much hair as other mammals including our closest relatives in the animal kingdom. We've lost most of the hair on our bodies but still have pubic hair, and that hair usually only grows during puberty? While we could point to "why" we probably have pubic hair we can see that it really doesn't provide any function to us any longer as we adapted to wearing clothing.

| 3 | Queer men also suffer from men’s issuesI think gay men are honestly the bridge we need between the sexes! They are like chameleons; able to blend in between both spaces if we just accept them more! Gay men experience many of the same issues hetero men face, simply because they were born with a penis between their legs. I was hoping transmen could be the gap closer we needed, but the numbers are too few and since they didn't grow up male from the start they don't have the same societal pressures and prejudices against them they needed… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 19/12/24 05:06 PM |
| 30 | The hatred for both male celibacy and men use of porn is a Venn diagram. And that is because society hates male neutrality towards women more than anything.We've demonized mens sexuality so much as of late! Their has been this movement mainly within feminist circles to try and suggest that women have the same libido as men, its just that society has repressed them. That women want sex just as much as men, but they are shamed for it so they don't seek it. This is important, because it means that if a man has a libido "higher" then a woman, and women are supposed to have the same libido then THAT man has something wrong with him! The problem is this … | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 18/12/24 11:02 PM |

Gay and bisexual men are treated worse than lesbian or bisexual women by BOTH sides. Men will in some ways discredit both gay and bisexual men as not being "manly" enough. Women will do much the same with backhanded compliments towards gay men and complete dismissal towards bimen believing they are just gay pretending to be Bi.

I'm not missing the point at all, for every man who will hit a woman that same man will hit another man. Yet their are lots of men who will hit other men but never hit a woman! Women are not innocent, women do hit men when their "feelings" are hurt!

The fact that men are at twice the risk as women is conveniently omitted from the summary and ignored by all mediaHonestly, this is the most fucked up thing that could have ever been allowed to happen! I rarely go to a casino. In my life including a trip to Vegas I've maybe spent $600 gambling.

Does not matter how intelligent, attractive or down to earth she is, she will be labeled a pick me nonetheless. They being said, my partner is constantly calling out women's behavior.

It's proliferance surrounds us because it's had its hand in shaping society as we know it. When you think of an incel you think of a guy wasting his life away in a basement playing video games. The real social issue with them is their lack of productivity in society. They have no drive to be better, to achieve anything and for men specifically, our role in society is to build and provide for others. No libido removes that drive and therefore remov… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 07/10/24 06:22 PM |

I agree, society wants men and boys to cut off emotions that don't benefit society and in a large extension, women themselves. Thereby the idea that men need to be "more in touch with their emotions" and "vulnerable" can only truly happen when society stops expecting men to withhold emotions that reflect negatively on women.

A better example would have been asking a white man if he would rather be in the woods with a bear or black man. Since the only reason he would choose a bear is because of racism. I mean the white man can justify his answer by using the same stats women are using to justify their choice of the bear. How many white men are assaulted by bears every year.

Pictures of sexualized women where put in front of them, instead of those men thinking "I wonder how she's feeling at the moment, is she sad her picture is taken?"

| 1 | The "Men need women more than women need men" trope is a strange oneAbsolutely true, very recently had this exact argument on here. It sucks for women no doubt, but it's not a societal issue it's more biological. Yet that doesn't stop the discourse perpetuating this subject with blatant sexism. It's a shame too, because acknowledging the true reasons would do better to help women than what's happening now. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 29/02/24 11:53 AM |
| 8 | The "Men need women more than women need men" trope is a strange oneAbsolutely! The me tel gymnastics men perform to withhold absolute pleasure from themselves is almost criminal and it unfortunately bears long lasting effects that reach far into adulthood. Spending your younger and more active years training your body to not respond to sexual stimuli in turn reduces your ability to enjoy the same stimuli as you get older, making it harder to orgasm. Again this raises the question, if the clitoris is that much more sensitive then the penis as a whole why do men … | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 26/01/24 03:50 AM |

When a man has trouble orgasming we blame him and say things about "death grip", or he consumes "too much porn" . We might even suggest he had a hormonal imbalance but at least that isn't directly blaming anything he does. Women though, most cannot achieve orgasm via penetrative sex.

This can be FWB, group sex, one night stands, etc. Think of an open marriage type thing, or s couple who swings. Polyamory is an offshoot of ENM, but it is focused more on relationships rather than just the freedom to have sex with whoever. A poly relationship usually involves romantic partners that share time with one another outside of the bedroom as one would do with any romantic partner.… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 12/01/23 05:56 PM |

| 4 | LWMA official statement regarding recent comments on MensLibWhat was interesting reading a lot of comments there in that thread was the amount of people who said they where not feminist. Many had the same reasoning, that feminism at its core is meant to help women and men is simply an afterthought. That many feminist slogans and campaigns where aimed at hurting men and not in helping them. How certain buzz words have become so overused that the original meaning behind them has been diluted into just being insults. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 21/07/21 11:05 PM |
| 2 | From r/all: Why are there so many more homeless men than women?I do find it ironic as well how often feminism pushes the "man up" connotation with many male centric issues. When discussing the lack of male shelters it goes back to something like "women had to do it, time for men to step up and do it too" I'm all for asking men to have agency, in the end we are the only ones who can control our own destiny. We make choices and have to live with them, the only crux to this is the fact that many stumbles men make receive less support than when women stumble.

| 5 | From r/all: Why are there so many more homeless men than women?No, it's allowed, but men are not the only people who make self destructive choices. Moreover, less support is provided to help men when they make them. Men and boys tend to take more risks, have a higher tendency to form addictions and often seek less help when they do. This isn't just a biological testosterone fueled path of self destruction, rather its also tied into societies view that men must be independent.

Call them what you will but the principles of feminism and egalitarianism are widespread among the majority of people, the terms used shouldn't matter if the context is the same. You wouldn't hold the same view of labeling people when it comes to racism and the like, calling someone a feminist or egalitarian or mra if they hold those views is acceptable.

Meaning you walk up to a stranger on the street and ask "Do you think women should get paid the same wage as men" and 99% of the time you will hear "yeah of course!"

Many women believe they should be treated as equals to men, have access to proper health care, job opportunities and freedom to live their lives free from harm and unrealistic societal standards based on sex/gender.

What can be done to solve this issue?Same page brother, trickle down first benefit anyone but the rich. However without some legislation in effect to prevent excessive corporate greed UBI will be a means for the rich to fill their coffers even more. I still think UBI would be great, in fact I think it should be capped on income level as well. Anyone making 80k single or 150k family shouldn't qualify. Only because it could force a family to have a stay at home partner, strengthening employee power. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 10/06/20 07:23 PM |

It's the painting of men as both the victim and abuser in nearly all scenarios, thereby an effective method of silence when discussing… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 16/01/20 03:12 PM |
| 15 | Men Are More Satisfied By Bromances Than Their Relationships.I really liked this article. It was interesting that the men interviewed felt they could open up more to their friend than their romantic partners. Yet it's reasonable to assume that a large portion of that is to not disappoint or burden their partners. That maybe those men felt that doing so would put them in a negative light for their partners. Of course yes, their is some sexist behavior taking place that their partners felt they were less of a man by opening up but many men already knew this… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 16/01/20 01:19 AM |
| 3 | Psychologist apologizes for misandric bias in family courtWhile a fairly accurate summary we really don't know what her assessment about the child potentially inflicting self harm was about. It said she failed to interview all parties involved because of the vast distances in that area. Did she interview the child and make that assessment? Or did she make that assessment without even talking to the child? I guess we will never really know what actually transpired that made her make that judgement. If she's a male hater or simply incompetent, who knows.… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 15/01/20 01:50 PM |
| 3 | CNN article on gender is entirely one sidedMany things in society would be better I agree. However, we need to be careful of not progressing too much too fast. Genderless bathrooms Im generally a fan of as long as they remain useful. I dont want to give up my urinal for a stall. Heck I'm even for commingle shower areas as I think it would drastically change the way nudity is perceived as purely sexual in nature. Yet again, we can't be too progressive because it could actually send us back. This law could be very useful in bringing light … | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 14/01/20 09:12 PM |
| 5 | CNN article on gender is entirely one sidedI actually think this would be good for mens rights honestly. Without this law we have no way of combating unfair treatment of the sexes, with this law we do. Everybody no matter the sex they are should get the same rights and privileges as everyone else. In areas that women are not given equal rights they will have a law backing them up. Consequently areas where men are not given equal rights they will have a law also backing them up. This is a great thing when you look at is as a tool to help … | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 14/01/20 07:58 PM |
| 12 | I recently stumbled across a rather interesting post on the bropill subreddit regarding dating for men in today’s worldAh yes, dating in this new world! The post was pretty sad actually, while I liked the idea the guy was interested in trying to get a feel for what many women go through to up his chances of success. The only thing it really did is lower his self esteem, cast him in a negative light and enforce sexist standards wrapped up in guilt and shame. What really gets me, is all those issues brought up about trying to find someone who shares your hobbies, or through friends or whatnot. It's the guy who mus… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 14/01/20 02:40 PM |
| 4 | Why I Left the Men's Rights MovementFeminising boys, when I hear that phrase this is what I think of. I think of society telling boys they are not good because they are not girls because girls are good and boys are bad. Boys should not be told they have to be girls to be good. All that does is teach them the wrong ways to be men. In turn they dont know how to handle what their bodies and minds are going through. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 14/01/20 01:21 AM |
| 3 | Why I Left the Men's Rights MovementYeah but time out only works when they are calm and collective. We used to send him to time out during his fits. But all that did is give him a space for screaming and shouting. So we had to work on getting him to calm down first, then put him in time out to think and reflect. I remember getting angry as a child, but my parents spanked it out of me. Never understood how hitting a child out of anger ever helped the child understand how they should deal with anger. Anger is a natural emotion but u… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 14/01/20 01:18 AM |
| 5 | Why I Left the Men's Rights MovementI have a 5 year old right now who basically gets angry and loses his damn mind! I very much dislike temper tantrums, its probably the thing I despise the most when it comes to behaviors. So what I do is I get pretty firm in my language with him to break him out of that anger. Then we talk about what made him angry and ways he can calm himself down so he doesn't get in more trouble because he's acting out in anger. Its worked wonders for us, I basically let him know he decides his own fate. If he… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 13/01/20 11:04 PM |
| 6 | Why I Left the Men's Rights MovementAs a father to 2 boys, cheers!! I'm doing everything I can to show my sons that being a man is more than what is being portrayed by society to them. It's allowing him the confidence to love who he is yet not fearing what he will become. His future is his own to mold, I'm going to let him decide what kind of man he will come to be by showing him and teaching him what kind of man is raising him. He can choose to take the qualities I possess and the ones I don't and decide for himself which ones he… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 13/01/20 10:48 PM |
| 15 | Why I Left the Men's Rights MovementI think the problem is discussing issues that affect men from any lens, even a feminist one; seems to attract negative attention. You've outlined some of the reasons above but I don't think it can be stated enough, societies view of men is skewed because of the current narrative being spread amongst media. Negative, negative and negative. This is what is heard about men everywhere, on all mediums and about almost everything that happens in our world. Men are the literal punching bags for other m… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 13/01/20 10:15 PM |
| 5 | 2019 PayScale Pay Gap Report: When earnings are adjusted for job worked and years of experience, the pay gap is 2%I generally hate the term toxic masculinity because I think it's used too broadly. In this example I think it fits. We as men are using our own competitiveness to hinder other men when we should be working together to help other men. For example some men will shower a woman with expensive things to try and win her favor. Thereby creating a situation that an expectation of such things is required. Thus it places a societal pressure on men to conform to that strict role of having to prove oneself … | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 13/01/20 03:22 PM |
| 5 | 2019 PayScale Pay Gap Report: When earnings are adjusted for job worked and years of experience, the pay gap is 2%While I would love to champion this, we as men have personal responsibility too. Just because society says we should "pay" for first dates or whatnot does not mean we HAVE to. This idea that men need to pay for more things than women is completely in our control. Simply because any fight from women saying men should or have to, would easily be seen as sexist. To me, this is an easy fight to win. Call out women trying to use sexism to their benefit when we refuse to pay and watch the debate happe… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 13/01/20 02:39 PM |
| 7 | 2019 PayScale Pay Gap Report: When earnings are adjusted for job worked and years of experience, the pay gap is 2%The thing is I don't think it will ever be 0%, I think it will always be 1-2 percent in either direction. Just because of the reasons you stated, unfortunately the jobs being automated away are those that men typically are the ones being put into danger doing. Take an oil rig for example, as more technology replaces those high paying and dangerous jobs less men are doing them. Then more women come into that high paying field and it wont be too long before the 2% vanishes or swings the other way … | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 13/01/20 02:29 PM |
| 2 | Penis size - The butt of so many jokesUm, you realize micropenises exist in areas without circumcision right? Whatever variance might exist between intact and cut men has never been proven past standard deviation. Calling men who are smaller than average oppressed is hyperbolic as well. While they may be a minority we cant place oppression on a characteristic as trivial as penis size, unless we're talking about porn employment. I do agree though that more men need to speak out against shaming men for not being well endowed. As we sh… | /r/MensRights | 13/08/19 11:28 PM |
| 5 | Gillette cartridges are heavily discounted here. Are their sales suffering thanks to their anti-male ad earlier this year?I literally did the same thing a few days ago. Was in need of a new blade for my Fusion as I had just run out of my stocked supply. While I was looking at all the razors I saw the discounts much like you but right next to it a Harrys razor set. I bought a new razor from Harry instead of new cartridges for my Fusion and it's probably one of the few times I actually voted with my wallet. It's not that I thought Gillette had bad intentions with the ad they created, I honestly believe they wanted to… | /r/MensRights | 17/07/19 01:39 PM |
| 1 | Half of Reddit calling a 6/7 year-old boy a “sex offender”, “misogynist” and “future child molester” for openly taking video of his 9/10 year-old cousin’s clothed butt while she walks in front of him with his iPad m, aka “sexually harassing her”.The fact that OP never watched the videos to see if they were in fact of that nature is what I'm surprised this sub isn't up in arms about. We need to first know if the child did what he was accused of doing, then punishment is in order. Considering the boys parents restored the videos means 1 of 2 things. Either they watched the videos and saw nothing inappropriate or they didn't watch the videos and restored them. Considering allegations are being made you would think the parents would watch t… | /r/MensRights | 03/07/19 03:16 PM |
| 2 | A computational linguist just did his thesis on r/Mensrights, specifically on how we can use machine learning to analyze how ideological differences manifest in patterns of language use at scale.I read both subs, typically only comment on MensLib. I think one of the aspects that wasn't expanded upon enough in your paper; although the data clearly showed, was each groups underlying observation of where "blame" exists concerning mens issues. You can see from the words used that MensRights focuses the ills of men on external forces. The terms used convey as much and therefore the discussions of topics performed in MensRights would correlate with the highest used terms. Grievances towards m… | /r/MensRights | 19/06/19 04:39 PM |
| 3 | Hypocrisy intensifies. Avon forced to apologize for body shaming add targeted at women.So let me get this right. Body shaming all women because some may have an imperfection = bad. Shaming all men because some may behave in bad way = good. So the crux of it all is, one media personality complains about an add (mind you it wasn't a full on commercial) and it gets taken down and the company tweets apologies. The internet goes in an uproar about an add campaign that mis-characterises most men and the company doesn't say a thing! I know the reason why, but dammit why wasn't the Gillet… | /r/MensRights | 21/01/19 09:08 PM |
| 2 | The Male Caloric TaxI agree that most sanitary products should not be taxed as having them is a benefit for society. Also would like to point out that clothing such as underwear: bras and underpants should be tax free. As going out in public without such items is a criminal offense. My point with the caloric difference is that while women were born prepositioned to need sanitary products due to their gender. Men also are born with a need for more calories required tldue to their gender. The biggest difference is wi… | /r/MensRights | 02/11/18 05:53 PM |
