-2	Barbie movie review It's pathetic how much you & op read into a satirical movie. Having seen it, I can attest, this film is not "promoting" a feminist takeover. It literally ends >! with Barbie wishing to be a real woman, in the real world, despite all she's seen. !<	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	22/07/23 08:53 PM
-9	Barbie movie review Dude, chill out. You're triggered by satire... The film pokes fun at, not only our real world structures, but both the extreme feminist utopia (i.e. "Barbieland," a fantasy land for girls dolls) AND an extreme patriarchy (i.e. "Kendom"). Shit, even the Ken dolls learn to just live their lives, and they're plastic toys made solely to tag along with the star, Barbie.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	22/07/23 01:03 PM
-2	How does feminism help men? It's clear you didn't read a word of what I said... You're jaded & refuse to consider the core of my perspective.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	09/01/23 04:52 AM
-4	How does feminism help men? As men, we do need to fight for our own issues, which differ from those women face (e.g. higher successful suicide & incarceration rates). However, I disagree that feminism is our enemy. Sure, some who call themselves feminists, or women more broadly, have a strong skepticism of all men -- and they may only relate to it as "hatred." But that's far from the norm, and the root of their skepticism is encountering too many awful and/or complacent men -- I can forgive some wariness. This faction is q…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	08/01/23 06:05 PM
18	Belgian Scientist Protects Marginalized Men from DNA Tracking A Belgian scientist, Yves Moreau (2019), has been advocating for journals to investigate & retract articles based on DNA data extracted from men with questionable, coercive, or lacking consent. The data specifically relates to variations within the Y chromosome. By gathering so-called Y-STR data from just a portion of men, police can build out family trees for a much larger swath of the male population.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	17/01/22 03:49 AM
4	Anyone else tired of hearing this? These are great points but to clarify, I think you're describing fallout from class warfare more than gender discrimination.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	04/01/22 06:15 PM
-2	Male suicide is NOT caused by toxic masculinity! (With Studies) Of FFS, if you want to society to actually tackle male issues, understand that feminists are not our enemy. They're tackling the exact same issues that harm men, yet this sub frequently equates feminism with misandry.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	02/01/22 04:39 PM
-1	Male suicide is NOT caused by toxic masculinity! (With Studies) I appreciate the context & I'm sorry to have offended anyone. I think it's better to understand what the term actually means rather than attack the theory because the word choice offends some people. The survey in that linked post shows most men don't know what feminists mean by "toxic masculinity." Even the author shows incredible bias against the term. The introduction highlights this by immediately declaring "toxic masculinity" implies all masculinity is toxic. Masculinity is frequently talke…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	02/01/22 12:21 PM
-1	Male suicide is NOT caused by toxic masculinity! (With Studies) It's clear you're not interesting in discussing since you keep bringing up this straw man. There is no corollary with homosexuality. I've already defined toxic masculinity & it's not descriptive of how society treats men.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	02/01/22 12:00 PM
-6	Male suicide is NOT caused by toxic masculinity! (With Studies) Look, the term was coined to describe a brand of masculinity that is harmful. It doesn't mean everything related to masculinity is toxic... It is toxic to believe men have the sole responsibility for providing for or protecting their families. It is toxic to expect men to always remain stoic. And it's toxic for society to enforce this perspective. If you're offended by the term I encourage you to reflect on why. I was initially reactive to it myself but I now understand: "toxic masculinity" desc…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	01/01/22 08:33 PM
1	Male suicide is NOT caused by toxic masculinity! (With Studies) Toxic masculinity, as described by feminism, is the idea that enforcing gender norms puts undue pressure on men that harms both men & women. I agree that it's bad behavior to treat men worse but those bad actions are driven by pervasive gender norms. I posit that fighting this toxic masculinity (give this definition a different name if you must) will resolve the "toxic behavior."	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	01/01/22 03:21 PM
-1	Male suicide is NOT caused by toxic masculinity! (With Studies) This may be an unpopular opinion here but the feminist perspective isn't opposition to men, just to toxic masculinity. And to be clear "toxic" doesn't mean all masculine traits are bad, just that forcing gender norms can be harmful. This idea even fits with OP's original point; please bear with me for a moment... Toxic masculinity pervades society, applying a constant pressure on men to take specific responsibilities or act a particular way. Being a societal or cultural pressure means everyone a…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	01/01/22 01:37 PM
1	A Google Search Experiment: Googling ‘Washington state women’s equality’ produces webpages about women’s equality. Googling ‘Washington state men’s equality’ also produces webpages about women’s equality. It all depends on how you frame it. You're talking about byproducts of societal gender norms, something that negatively impacts both men & women. If you look at these aspects individually, the male to female ratio isn't balanced, & I would agree that... Men are incarcerated at a much higher rate. But why? Men are more likely to commit suicide. But why? I posit that rigid gender norms promote a toxic form of masculinity, one in which men are put in a position to feel the weight of too many misgui…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	09/04/21 11:13 AM
1	A Google Search Experiment: Googling ‘Washington state women’s equality’ produces webpages about women’s equality. Googling ‘Washington state men’s equality’ also produces webpages about women’s equality. I believe the issue is not that pages are missing for "men's equality" but rather you're searching for the wrong term. Us men (at the statistical level) are already on the other side of the gender equality line. The article eludes to a better term though: "men's (or male) empowerment," which has a few relevant results: - Team Up Washington, which features a program leveraging sports coaches to teach their young male athletes healthy relationship skills. - The Male Empowerment Network at Kent Sta…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	08/04/21 02:35 AM
