| 1 | From Two X: Men raped, women most effected.This conversation is ongoing, but I figured I'd screenshot it just in case. That sub continues to become more and more unhinged. Funny enough, both of the users in the screenshots are active members of fourthwavewomen, the current TERF hotspot on Reddit. That sub's influence seems to be spreading among other women's subs at an alarming rate. I find this thread incredibly and depressingly ironic. These are the same people who complain about men hijacking women's discussions of abuse constantly. T… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 09/08/22 09:06 AM |
| 84 | Bernie Sanders is owed an apology from the “feminists”and Warren supportersI remember all of this. It was very eye opening as to just how poisonous this discourse can become. These morons undoubtedly cost us a shot at the presidency, because they were and still are, more concerned with the gender of the individual running, than their platform. Even now, the amount of so-called "leftist" feminists who will make excuses for Kamala, and daydream of Biden dying so she can take the mantle, despite her being equally (perhaps even more-so) representative of everything wrong w… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 23/11/21 05:13 AM |
| 42 | What's the deal with the condescending attitude from those that hate men?Stop concerning yourself with the "reason" for anyone's misandry. There is no justification for bigotry. No anecdotal experiences, no historical examples, that justify vilifying and pre-judging an entire gender of people as worthy of hatred. When men do this to women, it's called sexism. When women do this to men, it's also sexism. The usual deflection will be to intentionally pedantic arguments over misogyny being "systematic", and misandry not being so. Bigotry does not have to be systematic i… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 17/11/21 05:54 PM |
| 56 | What do y’all think about the whole “weaponized incompetence” thing?The term seems to have been originated to describe men who intentionally don't bother learning to, say, cook or clean, because "someday they'll have a wife for that". I know men like that, and I can understand it's usage in those terms. But now it seems to be used whenever a man simply doesn't know how to perform a domestic chore. Also, an interesting observation. The majority of women I've heard complaining about "weaponized incompetence" refuse to cook or clean for their male partners at all. … | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 17/11/21 09:13 AM |
| 2 | Everyone who said kyle rittenhouse was fake crying has retroactively invalidated every claim they’ve ever made of depression or traumaNah, I'm going to call bullshit here. The "logic" in these comments is terribly disappointing. I've experienced trauma, I've ugly cried until my chest felt like it was bursting. I've also been manipulated by abusive, morally repugnant people who used fake crying, fake displays of emotion etc. I believe Kyle was fake crying, and I'm going to call him out on it. This has nothing to do with "men not being allowed to cry". This is about people recognizing the difference between sincere emotion and e… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 14/11/21 05:08 AM |
| 41 | Lighter Question: Has there ever been a pop song in which a male character indicates disinterest in a female because she does not have money?I haven't got a song to add to the discussion. But I do want to point out, that songs belittling working class men have been a tradition in pop music for a long time. And it's deeply hypocritical. You can't sing songs about being an "empowered" woman, then write about how you're looking for an obscenely wealthy man to mooch off of for the rest of his life. You can't write songs about being "objectified", and then state that a man's worth is determined by the size of his paycheck. And rest assure… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 13/11/21 03:28 AM |
| 25 | male violence-why?Women can play into the cycle of perpetuating male violence through the entire "protector" stereotype as well. I've known many women who expected and trained their boyfriends/husbands to be attack dogs, and to lash out at other men over the smallest things. Whether it was a "look" from across the street, or just another man disagreeing with, or calling out the woman for poor behavior in a social situation. They would call upon their boyfriend to initiate physical violence to solve non-violent, o… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 11/11/21 09:23 AM |
| 30 | The female gaze is shown to be incredibly powerful in American society by the amount of parents willing to cut a sensitive and important part of their son's penis off for the approval of their potential female partnersI hope this doesn't seem like derailing, as this post is discussing circumcision in particular. But your usage of the term "female gaze" inspired me to write something out. The "female gaze" is just as prevalent as the "male gaze". Men are held to rigid beauty and sex appeal standards as well. Sure, there's famous, wealthy guys like Seth Rogen or Post Malone, but there's also women like Amy Schumer and Melissa McCarthy. I bring that up, because some women will use examples of male celebrities li… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 08/11/21 10:23 PM |
| 28 | Men having a significant problem, women most affected.DailyMail is a tabloid rag full of bunk pseudo-science. They shouldn't be given any more credibility than The National Enquirer or The Sun. And they've become the news-source of choice for UK TERFS. That tells you everything you need to know about their reader-base, which ensures you never have to take anything they publish seriously. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 08/11/21 12:30 AM |
| 10 | Beneath Male SuicideSadly, a large chunk of the issues listed in the second to last photo will simply be hand-waved by many as being "his own fault". Still, it's important that we not grow complacent and continue to signal boost these concerns. I just find it incredibly ironic how the perpetuation of "toxic masculinity", is in those cases, carried out by the very people claiming to oppose it. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 07/11/21 06:48 PM |
| 2 | What are your wounds?Just be honest. You don't want a relationship with someone like her again. Someone who preaches misandry and pre-judges all men based on their anecdotal experiences, and hyperbole they've saturated themselves with on radfem forums. You don't have to hide or blunt anything about yourself, and if you do, that's the kind of relationship you'd be better off alone, than in. Remember your worth, brother. Some people have more than a few abusive exes. And they should never be pre-judged for stating tha… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 02/11/21 09:20 AM |
| 26 | examples media female on male violenceThese examples aren't so much "punching or hitting", as they are examples of sexual violence against men, being played for laughs. But sexual violence is just that. It's violence. And I think your study needs to include these examples, and more. Because male rape being played for humor is one of the most prevalent and disgusting anti-male trends in popular media. In "Get Him To The Greek" (2010) Jonah Hill's character is drugged by a friend, then led to a back room by a woman who proceeds to ana… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 25/10/21 11:13 AM |
| 62 | Thoughts on this Guardian piece on how to raise a son.There's a lot of good, and some really bad stuff here. I appreciate the sections about encouraging young boys to be themselves, to deconstruct gender stereotypes, not be afraid of their emotions etc. I'm even alright with boys being taught about stereotypes that women deal with, any systematic issues that either gender faces. Where I draw the line is that "women can be whatever they want, but with boys, we have to be careful telling them they can do anything". The inherent suggestion here being … | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 22/10/21 08:19 PM |
| 48 | Are false accusations really that insignifiant?You've no idea how glad I am to see this discussion being prompted. The entire reason that I even began seeking out men's advocacy spaces, is that earlier this year, a dear friend of mine was falsely accused. He was an admin of a leftist Facebook group, and a beloved member of our community. Over night, he lost the majority of his closest friends, had his job threatened, and lost his entire support network. Luckily, over time, I and others discovered the truth of what really happened. And he doe… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 21/10/21 01:39 PM |
| 8 | Can sex work be exploitative of men?It saddens to me to see that most people seem incapable of exercising nuance. Hardly anything is "always good" or "always bad" by default. Most things in life are not black and white. People refuse to see the shades of gray, and that is the source of so much of the unhelpful extremism on both sides of the political aisle. And before anyone jumps in, no, I'm not asking anyone to see the "shades of gray" in bigotry or hate. So don't jump to that thought-terminating cliché. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 20/10/21 09:19 PM |
| 7 | r/MensRights self-censoringCheck his recent post history. Filled with such gems as "pedophilia should have been legalized before homosexuality." | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 19/10/21 05:21 PM |
| 8 | r/MensRights self-censoring"I tend to get banned everywhere I go, even on the debate subs, especially on the debate subs." Your advocating for the legalization of pedophilia will have that effect. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 19/10/21 04:40 PM |
| 28 | Bravo, supreme court: we do need rules to stop men interrupting women | Eleanor MargolisI've yet to encounter a single instance of someone legitimately "mansplaining" something to a woman. It's apparently always supposed to have been a term used to describe a man who condescendingly explains something because he believes women are of inferior intelligence. Which I'm sure happens, and would be sexism. But every instance of someone crying "mansplaining" that I've seen IRL, is a man attempting to explain anything to a woman. A female employee keeps fucking up the same simple task over… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 19/10/21 04:33 PM |
| 34 | "Men don't value their emotions, they are emotional whores." - A lovely example of why so many men are "emotionally distant" with women.Honestly, I'd rather scare the shitty ones away by being honest with my emotions. It's worked so far. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 18/10/21 01:29 PM |
| 92 | "Men don't value their emotions, they are emotional whores." - A lovely example of why so many men are "emotionally distant" with women.I feel like this is mostly because the stereotype of men's emotions being "unstable" and "dangerous" is still ingrained in society. I remember a social experiment where the directors tried placing crying women and crying men in the same public spaces, to observe reactions. The women were immediately cared for. However, the men experienced a range of reactions. Namely, having the police called on them for "disturbing the peace", and several women went to the store managers to report them in case … | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 18/10/21 01:18 PM |
| 36 | "Men don't value their emotions, they are emotional whores." - A lovely example of why so many men are "emotionally distant" with women."On the flip side (as you slightly hint at later in your comment), how many female friends have you had who will come and talk to you about how their partner or desired partner isn't responding the way she wants?" I've always been the default "go between", who was asked to help sort out disagreements among friends. Not even always romantic partners. But when they were romantic arguments, so often it would be the women who would come to me. I've also allowed any platonic female friends I've had t… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 18/10/21 01:14 PM |
| 3 | How do men here feel about being the 'providers and protectors' of women?I loathe it. I don't mind acting as someone who protects or provides for my loved ones. But it's not something that is required of me because I am a "man". It's something that should rightfully be required of all human beings, who enter into relationships with other human beings. It should be natural for everyone to protect and when needed, provide for their friends, family, lovers etc. But instead, it's expected of men, by default. And many women, even so-called "progressive" ones, insist that … | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 15/10/21 02:08 PM |
| 1 | LWMA Lounge October 2021Fantastic! Thank you for the warm welcome, and I'll be glad to begin contributing and participating in the dialogue here. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 15/10/21 01:41 PM |
| 4 | LWMA Lounge October 2021So, I've been watching this sub for a while now, and I greatly appreciate much of the conversation going on here. Especially considering a few experiences I had, or was privy to earlier this year, that have really opened my eyes to the misandry issue we have on the left. Only one thing has made me somewhat apprehensive about joining in the conversation here. I'm a male, a leftist, and I consider myself a feminist. I have for a long time. But always the intersectional, equality-minded sort of fem… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 15/10/21 01:23 PM |
