| 3 | Europe treats Ukrainian men as cannon fodder, not as human beings.Yes, seeing such comments is so disappointing for me as a Ukrainian man. Wishing my country to be occupied by Russia is not helpful at all. Or when they say things like "don't support Ukraine if it treats men like this". People who say it literally promote men's deaths. Less military aid = more dead Ukrainian men. Less air defence = more dead Ukrainian civilians (the majority of whom are men and boys, by the way). People who promote ceasing military support for Ukraine actually promote a higher … | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 28/07/26 05:35 PM |

But it has one point I don't agree with. imagine if our society routinely told young girls they were "not real women" unless they married or had children Actually, such things existed for centuries and still exist to some extent, especially in more traditional societies.

| 48 | A critique of the "Real man idea"This is why the word "patriarchy" is so misleading and manipulative.

| 27 | "Men are the ones donig all the harm"in a world where there were no men, women wouldn't need protection because men are the ones doing all the harm. Women would need protection from wild animals, disasters, cold, hunger, diseases, other women etc. So no, it's objectively not true that women wouldn't need protection without men.

| 9 | I’d rather let my organs rot than allow a man or boy to survive.Complicating the matter further is the reluctance of men, often the primary breadwinners, to undergo surgery. This hesitation significantly contributes to the gender gap in organ recipients.

| 13 | I’d rather let my organs rot than allow a man or boy to survive.One reason is simple. Spouses are often the first to volunteer to donate a kidney to their loved one. And while women are more likely to get chronic kidney disease, men are more likely to be treated for end-stage renal failure – meaning of heterosexual couples, more wives than husbands may feel compelled to step up. In a study of 631 living kidney donors in Switzerland, for example, 22% were female life partners while 8% were male partners. Another reason may be economic.

| 21 | Do you guys think feminism still encourages male gender roles?Feminism feeds on traditional gender expectations, according to which women should be cared for and protected, while men should not complain or whine and must solve their problems on their own. Feminism—especially in the context of its dominance in the mainstream culture and its monopoly on gender discourse at the level of international organizations like the UN and the governments of democratic countries—reproduces slightly modified traditional ideas about gender roles. Compared to openly tradi… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 24/04/25 07:47 PM |
| 9 | According to feminists, why the violence against men doesn't matter if it's perpetuated by men?They believe that if the perpetrator and the victim have similar reproductive organs, then the act of violence doesn't matter. According to their "logic", violence is a problem only when the reproductive organs of the abuser and its victim are different (but only when the victim is a woman). According to their understanding of justice, the suffering of a person with a penis doesn't matter if their abuser also has a penis. In some cases they even believe that having a penis means being automatica… | /r/MensRights | 20/04/25 02:32 PM |

On the one hand, in my city (very far from the front line), I see many men of military age freely walking the streets; on the other hand, there are so many stories and videos with examples of the abuse of power by military recruitment officers. I want to believe that those abuses are exceptions rather than the norm, but it seems like such things really happen quite often. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 15/04/25 12:54 AM |

No one can stop Russians quickly because their military strength is too large, but we hope that military losses, sanctions and Ukrainian strikes on their oil facilities can stop them sooner or later.

I don't try to be masculine in any way, at least consciously. Some things I do may be considered masculine, but I try to avoid seeing them as such.
