È inoltre prevista l'adozione dell'espressione « violenza maschile sulle donne » invece di << violenza di genere », in tutte le disposizioni di legge quando ci si riferisce ad atti compiuti a danno di una donna. It is also envisaged that the term "male violence against women" will be used instead of "gender violence" in all legal provisions when referring to acts committed against women. Isn't the whole thing an issue with the language of their bills? Not that I agree with this sort of segregati…

So it's rage bait? It's an anonymous oped published by a right-wing media outlet in India consisting of what is basically a caricature of a misandrist. Modi and the BJP has been characterized as being a major factor in the democratic backsliding of India. Their ideology would have an interest in stoking the gender wars in their country, just like how most conservative movements are doing around the world. Yeah, it's rage bait.

I'm banned from r/comics as well. I'm Latino, and I was a bit uncomfortable with a comic that was so blatantly racist against white people that I reacted in a "Holy shit, this is going to be a shitshow." In my ban message, after a little back and forth, I was called a whole lot of shit and was given a very condescending link to an article about White Fragility before being muted. Again, I'm Latino. I was just uncomfortable that they were letting prejudice run amok because the mods seemed to be a…

I wouldn't use news blindspots to argue this man. Reported crimes of sexual violence never get pushed by right-wing media unless the perpetrator is a minority or "left-wing" and the victim is a white woman. Meaning, they'll only push stories that allow them to continue to fearmonger about other issues conservatives love to be delusional about. In terms of journalistic integrity, yes both sides are pretty bad at this. Who's eating the cats and dogs again?

Sometimes you just have principles that you won't cross. Used to play organized basketball in the Southern US where I was often the only white guy in the gym. I was called the n-word quite a bit, not as an insult but as a term of respect by my teammates and sometimes opponents. A lot of these guys gave me the "pass" and encouraged me to say the word. I did not. Even though I was in a context where it would've been morally fine to join my peers in this, I just didn't want that word to be a part o…

It's not, before Motherless removed the tag it was mostly consensual non-consensual (CNC) porn dealing with "sleeping" individuals. Still a lot of it is staged or stimulated (just like most taboo fetishes), but unfortunately when you lack moderation real shit can fly under the radar since everything is ambiguous.

Wow what progressive circles are these and where do I find them? Only advice is to not to approach interacting with people with preconceived notions. There were definitely groups that I found uncomfortable but I never let them poison any other group. Other than that, political/activist groups and special hobby groups are the best way to find these people.

I don't know where you're from, but in the Southern US "boys will be boys" arguments are still constantly used to excuse bad behavior even outside gender relations. As a society, we need to hold both men and women responsible for their bullshit which is what my original response described. "She is on her period" is super frustrating and I'm glad that the progressive circles I engage with absolutely condemn any sexist excuses for the targeted gender.

Not surprised really. Have you seen that sheer amount of hatred that's been going on for such a long time now? Not hard to guess from that, that most women outright hate men nowadays. Most women do not "hate men". Critique about sampling bias aside, the polling actually shows that a majority of women are "neutral" to men. Not necessarily the same thing. And who could blame them, when the mainstream view and the popular thing nowadays is male hatred? Sometimes, I don't even think it's women's fau…

Evelyn was the only one to admit having male friends and shared her concerns about what content they were consuming online. “The stuff that’s being said about women is crazy,” she told the New Statesman. “They’re getting all these reels, talking about, like, bad stuff about women. And I get reels of women saying bad stuff about men. I try to think, not all men are like this, but…” Social media is going to be the death of us.

Zillenial here (b. 1999). I've seen this discourse online but fortunately I've never actually had to experience first hand. So I do want to make a note that yes I do think the messaging disappeared by the time I was at that part of my development. On a side note though, beauty standards are ridiculous. You're attracted to what you're attracted to, don't worry about a cultural standard that has its roots in consumer exploitation.

Again, I don't excuse the behavior. In a public setting, this language reinforces negative stereotypes. Even in a private one, it can still reinforce negative stereotypes.

It's okay to practice intersectionality, even when focusing on Men's Issues. That comment wasn't whataboutism rhetoric intended to take away from the issue at hand, it was to provide context to show what exactly the issue at hand is. The reason why noting that queer men are explicitly oppressed through the law while queer women are implicitly oppressed by the law is important, is because it shows a very blatant dichotomy between how gender is approached throughout the world and gives insight on …

Sources m8, the roots of feminism are the historical women's liberation movement throughout the world. If we're talking about the US then...

Because we don't need to tear some people down, we need to lift everyone up. While I agree, certain things are perceived as zero sum and those people do think they are being torn down when they aren't. Another truth is that sometimes things are pretty close to a zero sum game, but the mindset of being "torn down" doesn't reflect the benefit of realizing an egalitarian society.

You can't talk about misandry, or more importantly the systemic underpinnings of sexism, in conservative spaces either. Leftist spaces often are maximalist, but there's plenty of times where intersectionality is properly practiced.

This isn't feminism nor left-wing. MORENA, the party that is against these sets of laws, is the major left-wing party. The "Wife Laws" are a corrupt attempt at installing the wives of male politicians by eliminating strong leftist male candidates.

Yeah, might've be a bit hyperbolic so that's on me. However, I do stand by it being influential. Marxism isn't just the critique on capitalist economics.

I think it depends on the exact nature of "Feminism" that you're talking about. In my context, I'm talking about the history of the feminist movement from its early conception to its modern incarnations. If we approach the topic systemically, then everything influences everything else whether directly or indirectly. The mechanisms that describe this influence and the artifacts that show this influence is what's observable and measurable. Modern day conservativism is heavily influenced by the pol…

I think the direction of this relationship to "feminist propaganda" is flawed. The origins of Feminism was built off a traditional society. Conservative women and ideology largely built the foundation for all future schools of Feminism going forward. While there are more egalitarian frameworks in this sphere of literature and activism, I believe that Feminism has been influenced by conservative propaganda and not the other way around.

For me, it's mainly educating and arguing about left-wing egalitarian frameworks and principles in order to combat right-wing/conservative discourse and philosophy within male advocacy as a whole. I work in government administration, and so my advocacy in this capacity mainly deals with pushing both gender-neutral and holistic gender-sensitive policies and procedures within my city.

I would be very very surprised if I found out that apparently all it takes to PROVE a false rape allegation is being unable to prove a rape allegation. Apologies, I guess I went a bit farther ahead from what you're claiming. I agree that the notion alone doesn't warrant a zero-sum. You are right about that aspect.

What's incredible about the society we live in is that I honestly can't tell which side you're talking about. Is the one pretending to care the one that is built off of egalitarianism and the importance of civil rights yet allows discourse and activism that contradicts those concepts or is it the one that preaches traditional/stereotypical understandings of male issues and then implements many policies that actively causes these issues?

but if someone does a serious crime of falsely accusing someone of rape, and it is proven, it shouldn't be harshly prosecuted because of worrying about victims not wanting to come forward?

If an alleged victim fails to meet the barrier to prove that they've been victimized, that shouldn't be us…

The same behaviours manifest regardless of the prescription. Yeah, I can easily disprove that.

Gender isn't "roles". Gender refers to the socially constructed ways that people understand and express themselves along a continuum of masculinity, femininity, both, or neither, and to the cultural, social, and psychological meanings attached to those categories. It is distinct from sex (also called natal sex or sex-assigned-at-birth), which refers to biological attributes. https://mededucation.stanford.edu/glossary/gender/ https://dornsife.usc.edu/wendy-wood/wp-content/uploads/sites/183/2023/1…

In terms of power dynamics, oppression is disproportionately afflicted on classes that aren't a part of the ruling class. What constitutes the "ruling class" is dependent on the historical structural and cultural conditions of the entire group.

To preface, the study is methodologically subpar. I'm just trying to accurately portray what was presented. "Feminists hate men" This implies that either hating men is inherent to feminism or that most feminists hate men. There's a part of the study that describes this stereotype of feminism/feminists. This then assumes that this is specific towards feminism/feminists and that this identity has a significant variance from non-feminist identities.

It's pretty hard to deconstruct this thread but I have to say that I disagree that the general audience strongly dislikes "aloof" male characters.

People don't want to say "sex" to indicate male / female because it sounds a bit dirty and impolite. You can argue that's just people being stupid, but it's still how most people are. When sex is applicable, it is used quite extensively. Medical doctors constantly use sex over gender for assessments. Otherwise, there's not really many times when sex needs to be applied.

Here's a good analysis. Yes. The Equality Act 2010 defines protected characteristics.

No, that's a terrible equivalency. In the medical community, the scientific consensus is that there is zero medical merit to the practice. It was only used as a cultural oppression of women.

There is no compelling medical reason to perform circumcision on a healthy infant boy. It is a cultural practice. I'm glad you used "healthy".

One, I already addressed genital mutilation, but in summary, children have limited rights compared to adults. Females can still have genital altercations for medical reasons.

Is this a safe space? If so, I'd like to share a story. A while ago, while I was attending middle school, my first "real" relationship ended up being extremely toxic. I was emotionally abused for 6 months. "Don't stick your dick in crazy" is a pretty useful adage as my over-hormonal puberty brain fell completely into this manipulation due to promises of sex and intimacy. She was older and used that to her advantage. The toxicity expressed itself whenever any issue arose. She couldn't handle nega…

When people talk about how men are the target for violent crimes statistically more than women, how can we solve this issue without calling out gender when the perpetrators of these crimes are mostly men? By understanding the psychological, developmental, and environmental causes of criminality in a completely holistic manner. We can find specifics in gendered approaches, much like we can with racial or classist approaches, however we must understand that these socially constructed frameworks do…

What's scary is that so many Americans think they are are the underclass, because lowkey they are within the concentrations of wealth and power in the hands of a few, and yet wrongfully attribute other underclasses as the oppressors. Handling all these identities (Class, Race, Gender, Sex, Culture, Nationality, Ethnicity, etc.) is an insane balancing act when you still need to subjugate a working class to ultimately appreciate your assets.

I can argue that essentialism wasn't universally dropped until after Third Wave but I digress. I wish more of us actually researched into literature. "If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle."

I think in some ways you are being very generous with feminism, as there have always been sects within it that are gender essentialist as hell, with plenty of man-haters on the books, though I tend to have more patience for that in the earlier waves because they do have a right to be angry. I might be a little generous, but that's only because I understand that all progressive movements will have bad actors which gives fuel to opponents of these movements. I tend to focus on the positive aspects…

How so? Many feminists are still stuck in older wave mindsets. Most feminists, like any members of an ideological movement, just don't read literature at all meaning that they are not ideologically consistent enough to ascribe them to any specific movement other than an incredibly chavinist part of it. "I'm a feminist because I'm a woman."

believe more than ever that men as a collective need to learn to live without attaching themselves to families and women as romantic partners, maybe even without actively looking for female friendships. While having friends who are women does expand your horizons, I agree that "brotherhood" and/or the gender-inclusive "camaraderie" needs to be emphasized. Women can be a part of that so I wouldn't unilaterally push them away, but I think that it's important to have strong male friendships. This i…

The idea that any male can potentially be "absolved" of the original sin of being born male is a bodyblow to the concept of male privilege. It goes against the entire concept of gender essentialism that TERFs and a majority of RadFems ascribe to. Misandry is one of the founding pillars of Feminism, by depriving feminists of their ability to hate men with wanton disregard is like depriving a parasite of its ability to suck blood. Maybe Third Wave Feminism? I tend to think egalitarianism and human…

Look, I tested 1522 multiple times and addressed myself as a man. One time as a timid, scared individual who was recommend the site by a person on discord and one as a skeptic who wanted to make sure that 1523 was telling the truth. Not only did they help me both times, but they made sure to provide resources from the US and got me in touch with a good hotline for my region in the US. I'm not going to provide the hotline due to privacy but I was very satisfied with 1522. Their website kinda blow…

Well, Feminists are the ones pushing for it Egalitarians are pushing for it. There are bad faith actors in any movement. It's petty tribalism to oppose egalitarianism as a whole due to the actions of individuals. and secondly "man" can also be used in gender neutral contexts. For ex: "Mankind". Why not use "humanity", "human", and "humankind"? They mean the same thing and aren't gendered. Have you ever noticed patterns in the way that men’s and women’s relationships with their families are discu…

allow men to use 1522 I dont know how many times I have to repeat this. 1522 already allows men to use it. You can go and ask about DV right now on their site as a male. EDIT: To anybody that tries, their website sucks. If there was any valid reason to be against 1522 it would be because they hired the bare minimum of website designers. However, they sent me proper US resources once I asked after introducing myself as a man.

Help men who call 1522 They do, you're refusing to see that. 1522 doesn't refuse to help men. It's legally obligated to help men. You can chat with them right now. Anything that says otherwise is lying. Include men who are victims and women who are perpetrators in gender-based violence statistics. They do, you're refusing to see that. The law already tracks gender-based violence statistics for male victims and female perpetrators. https://www.loc.gov/item/global-legal-monitor/2019-09-09/italy-ne…

We could sit here with examples all day. There are always exceptions to rules in this field. Language is a complex topic. What isn't a complex topic is that "masculinity" is the default gender in the legal language of these countries. To move towards an egalitarian society you must move towards egalitarian language and law. Pretty simple logic. https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/world/2023/nov/04/whats-in-a-word-how-less-gendered-language-is-faring-across-europe Clarifying and upda…

It's "feminism" to replace gendered language with gender-neutral language? Egalitarianism doesn't have a certain demographic in mind and wasn't created by and for a certain demographic either. It's not radical in the slightest, as the movement for equality is a part of the human condition. https://cursus.edu/en/11649/towards-an-egalitarian-language That's how much this gender war bullshit is getting to you, it's beneficial for both men and women (and nbs) to move to a more egalitarian society.

1522's website says that they were created to address "violence to the detriment of women". In 2006.

In a universe where gendered language exists (i.e. Italian) and "masculine words" were used for both men and women. The Italian legal system, unfortunately, allowed masculine words to arbitrarily mean "all humans" in certain contexts and "only men" in others. Claifying protections for women is a no brainer to fix that problem. Or do you think they should radically change their language and start banning words?

I'm fine with increased awareness of anything negative against us. Here's a great resource for "Gender-based violence" in Italy. Gender-based violence (GBV) is violence committed against a person because of his or her sex or gender. It is forcing another person to do something against his or her will through violence, coercion, threats, deception, cultural expectations, or economic means. Although the majority of survivors of GBV are girls and women, LGBTIQ+ persons, boys and men can also be tar…

What do you think women would and should do if the government excluded them from support services because of their gender? Why shouldn't men do exactly the same thing now? 1522 doesn't exclude anyone. It was just created for women back in 2006. Part of 1523's mission statement is that 1522 shouldn't have been made "official" because it was created by "feminists". And let me put on record that I don't have a problem bringing attention to DV for men (here's a good resource) , I just wanted to poin…

https://www.1523.it/ is a counter protest against perceived "sExIsM" and parodies https://www.1522.eu/?lang=en. They're mad that 1522 was initially created for women. "All Lives Matter" is a counter protest against perceived "rAcIsM" and parodies "Black Lives Matter". They're mad that BLM was initially created for black people.

The "law" that you're talking about is nonexistent. This is what they're protesting: https://www.1522.eu/?lang=en EDIT: Here's the law they might be referring to. However this law is based off of other laws attempting to minimize "gender violence".

Not everyone is strong enough to get through it by themselves brother. I've also had to get through multiple depressive episodes by myself. Just because we can do it, doesn't mean that others 100% can. If your best friend was killing himself through alcohol abuse, wouldn't you do something to get them on a better path? Is it terrible that I would do my best to get them out of that hole?

Frankly, there's two sides of this that are creating this phenomenon. First, there exists a fringe, online movement to eradicate the concept of "biological sex". If you think that that's absolutely insane, I can easily explain to you their logic and give you a better argument against it than just "you're wrong". Second, the word "female" is used by incel and alpha male communities as a derogatory slur. In a lot of contexts, it is dehumanizing and made to either bestialize a person or to objectif…

Why is it up to the father to get her wife checked for depression? Why is it up to the family to get their family members checked for depression? Because whatever is going wrong is stopping them from getting help. A wife, or partner, needs to check in with their husband, or partner, too. Why wouldn't you want to check in with the people you love? Also depression does not physically stop you from doing things. Yes it makes things harder, but if left with no other choice they will do what they nee…

While I understand the double standard, was it really wise to use a pretty textbook example of PPD to knock on the hypocrisy? PPD affects fathers too and instead of knocking people for giving good advice despite the double standard, wouldn't it be better to use that energy on bringing the father's mental health issue to the forefront?

If I'm understanding correctly, you're extending my reasoning further by saying that TERFs are more misandrist/more likely to be misandrist than other radical feminists? No, not exactly. RadFem is treated as a spectrum because it's an ideology. Ideologies can have many schools of thought which creates divisions and nuance throughout the ideology itself. A TERF is a very specific type of RadFem that is misandrist by nature due to the trans exclusion. Excluding transpeople aligns yourself with mis…

I've seen that too. Do not disagree. TERFs are always misandrist in some way however. When you radically exclude gender in your worldview (for whatever reason) to the point of boiling down transpeople to their biological sex only, then you're definitely going to be sexist.

Not the same inherent issues. Misandry is a conditional issue within radical feminism depending on the "school of thought".
