| 2 | Why is emasculation played for jokes in the media and how is it affecting society's view of masculinity?They're played for shock value, sure, but in a different way. They're shock-funny humour, not shock-horror humour. The rape is shocking, but the 'joke' is still the rape itself. A male-on-female rape would never be presented as lightheartedly. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 28/11/23 10:04 PM |
| 5 | The "But men do it too" argument, and why it bothers me.Gay communities hate when people assume they're straight, but then turn around and assume queerness in others. It's more like, they assume everyone who isn't overtly flamboyant is straight. I can't count the number of times I've been told I'm a "straight white man" so I don't "understand what it's like". If they actually listened to me for a second they would see I'm not straight. And ironically the reason non-straight men have to present themselves as straight in the first place is because any … | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 27/11/23 10:58 PM |
| 0 | Why do people think false accusations are so rare?An acquaintance of mine posted on social media the other day "only 1% of rape cases result in conviction". This wording comes up a lot and I think it's very telling. Notice how the focus is on conviction? It doesn't say "only 1% of rapists get punished". The focus is on conviction because they don't care about guilty or not guilty. They want to lock up the accused man so the accuser "wins", regardless of whether he actually did the crime or not. This is backed up by what feminists say, I've had … | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 12/11/23 04:17 PM |
| 14 | Feminist women want to pathologize and shame men’s sexuality as a concept so they have absolute control in the dating marketplaceIt's the same reason many feminists are extremely sex-negative when it comes to promiscuous women and prostitution. Women who give up sex easily or allow "low value" men access to sex lower the value of sex, which diminishes women's sexual power. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 12/11/23 04:06 PM |

It's about a 25 year old woman and her "relationship" with a 15 year old boy. The whole time I was sat in disbelief, waiting for the plot twist or for some kind of reframing. But no.

| 32 | Despite living in a "patriarchy", women are doing much better academically than men.A lot of men cope with the constant man-bashing in society by reframing themselves as "one of the good ones". Rather than going "No, men aren't all rapists and monsters" as we would, they go "Yes, men are rapists and monsters, but not me. I'm different".

| 25 | I don't understand how some people can think men being good people or even decent people is a rare or strange phenomenon.I've seen a lot of women describing behaviours that are "unproblematic" in men, and they're literally just feminine behaviours.

| 37 | I don't understand how some people can think men being good people or even decent people is a rare or strange phenomenon.Physical violence is in a league of its own. "Man assaults woman in nightclub" makes headlines, and feeds the perception that men are dangerous and evil, but you'll never see "Woman is a manipulative bitch who take pleasure in making the people around her miserable" in a newspaper. I'd rather be punched in the face than emotionally abused. Sometimes non-physical harm is worse than physical violence, and it's weird that a society so considerate of mental health doesn't appreciate that fact. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 16/09/23 10:24 AM |

How do I deal with people saying we need to encourage more women to join?"I am aware of the research that suggests that people, both male and female, on average prefer to spend time around women rather than men." This is exactly why keeping it as a mostly male space might be a good thing. As soon as you get a significant population of women, the group culture shifts towards catering to the women. The group becomes female-focused.

I was a regular in the modern foreign languages society, and there were about 3 guys out of the 30+ regular members, with the entire committee being women. It got to the point I didn't feel I could go to the less structured, more social meetups, because I just didn't feel welcome as a man and I didn't want to hang out with only women all night.

It's the same as if I get into a fight with a black guy, it's not a racial hate crime unless I punch him because he's black.

Mandated by force if necessary. If we send men to die against their will, why not force women to repopulate against their will?

"I'm happy to lock this innocent guy up for life just in case he may have been a rapist in the future" This is why innocent until proven guilty is so important. In an ideal world, false accusations wouldn't matter because only c… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 27/04/23 12:40 PM |

| 8 | The struggle of being in trans spaces as a manIf they transitioned to try to get a lesser sentence, what does that say about how the justice system treats men? | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 24/04/23 09:12 PM |
| 13 | The struggle of being in trans spaces as a manI made a post here about something I noticed, but the mods removed it for some reason. Fearmongering around trans people is actually just thinly veiled fearmongering of men. When people complain about "trans people in women's bathrooms", it's nothing to do with the trans people; it's that they don't want men in women's bathrooms, and they see trans women as men. It's the same with trans women in women's prisons. They're dangerous because they're men in women's spaces, not because they're trans. … | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 23/04/23 06:28 PM |

| 24 | The Canadian Government used to be mostly men. It is now mostly women. Executive federal jobs are also mostly women today.Everything about this just doesn't make sense - The CEO isn't making the recipes - The implication is that they just want to poison women for no reason, which would be the scandal of the millennium if it were true - Assuming men care about the health of other men and don't care about women, when all the evidence shows the opposite is true | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 14/04/23 03:11 PM |
| 10 | Most People Support Men's Rights, Why Not the Government?I think it's important to note that the average person isn't doing this on purpose. They're not nefariously pretending to support men's rights to push a an agenda. Most people have no idea about the empathy gap, the dark side of feminism, the social isolation of men, etc. They just give the answer that their heart tells them is the right one in that moment | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 12/04/23 12:55 PM |
| 20 | Why I joined the Men’s’ Advocacy Movement: the greatest weapon the misandrists have is divisionJust removing toxic people from your life is one of the best things you can do for your personal peace. I blocked like 15-20 people from my high school because they were spouting misandrist shit all over social media. I feel so much better knowing I don't have to see that stuff anymore. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 12/04/23 12:47 PM |

| 23 | What is considered ‘rape’? The public’s definition differs greatly from the law — YouGov survey results, UK, surprisingly positive.As far as the vast majority of Britons are concerned, women can both rape men (77%) and other women (80%). That means there are 3% of people that think a woman can rape a woman, but can't rape a man? I'm wondering how that thought process goes? Do you think they're imagining rape as a "penis in vagina" situation, and they're accounting for the woman perpetrator being a trans woman with a penis? If so, why not also count male victims who are trans and have vaginas? I'm honestly struggling to come… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 20/03/23 11:53 PM |
| 3 | So many women seem to have zero idea what the male experience is actually likeThe more I see, the more I think their image of men isn't based on anything. Their idea of men is some faceless, malicious force. It's become so far removed from any real life man that it doesn't mean anything anymore. It's like how Hollywood movies are based more on other movies than they are on reality. That's how we get 'tropes' that are commonly accepted and understood, despite having nothing to do with how the real world works. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 19/03/23 08:00 PM |

As a depression councillor she should know that. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 19/03/23 07:47 PM |

| 33 | So many women seem to have zero idea what the male experience is actually likeThis is what happens when decades of feminism tells men to listen to women, but never the reverse. A lot of women have never even considered that men might have different viewpoints. What really annoys me is when their idea of what the make experience is like is exactly the same as the female experience, but more brutish and stupid. And of course at no point in this process to they think to ASK men what their experiences are like. On a slightly related note, some women are ignorant about men's a… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 17/03/23 08:58 AM |

And actually I think that goes hand in hand with the man-hating. Both are a signal that you're different and you're "not like the rest".

| 5 | trans exclusion is male exclusionThis reminds me of those representative jobs for certain groups. "women's officer" "LGBT chairman" and stuff like that. Technically a man is allowed to apply for the position of women's officer, but realistically there's a 100% chance the role will be filled by a woman. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 04/03/23 04:18 PM |
| 18 | trans exclusion is male exclusionI've always wondered about the legality of places like that. There's a female-only bar near me. If I tried to go in, would they turn me down, or is it only a strong suggestion that men do not enter rather than a hard rule? If they did turn me down, would I have a case for discrimination? If the bartenders are all female (I'm assuming they are) that's an even more clear cut case of discrimination, since they're locking men out of employment purely for their sex. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 03/03/23 09:50 AM |
| 3 | «It's not enough that men's lives are ruined»This is why I'm in the perfect position to change her mind. I'm the only man who she can't just block and disregard as a crazy alt-right misogynist. I think it would take something happening to ME for her to finally care. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 03/03/23 09:37 AM |
| 14 | «It's not enough that men's lives are ruined»Men really need to start building up some solidarity. I think it's already started to happen, but it's nowhere near enough. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 02/03/23 09:41 PM |
| 31 | «It's not enough that men's lives are ruined»I was literally just thinking about this a minute ago. Feminist ideology is so prevalent in the social sciences, but these subjects should be the ones that are the most socially aware. How does someone study psychology for 3 years and NOT self-reflect on their own mindset and biases? How does someone study sociology for 3 years and NOT recognise the obvious injustices in society? | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 02/03/23 09:39 PM |
| 35 | «It's not enough that men's lives are ruined»Of course she would care if it happened to someone she knew. The problem is the othering of men. The treating of men like they're a faceless entity. She would be upset if this happened to a man she knew, but she doesn't connect the dots and see that EVERY man has sisters, friends, mothers. Every man who is falsely accused has someone like her in their life, that would be upset for him. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 02/03/23 09:36 PM |
| 39 | «It's not enough that men's lives are ruined»She has a lot of disgusting opinions about men. This comment was barely scratching the surface. I try to not talk about gender politics with her, because being reminded that someone close to me hates a big part of my identity honestly hurts a lot. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 02/03/23 04:26 PM |
| 128 | «It's not enough that men's lives are ruined»I was talking to my sister about false accusations, and she said to me she wouldn't care if innocent men got locked up as long as women got justice. Some people just DO NOT give a shit about men. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 02/03/23 03:54 PM |
| 34 | Why the rate of single men in the US looking for dates has declinedIf you look at it in terms of sexual encounters - men in general want sex more often than women, so one man who's very sexually active is enough to "remove" several women from the market. (Talking about sex as a market feels gross and is a huge generalisation, but it's useful in some contexts). With the rise of online dating, the market is now so wide that women can shoot for the top 1% of men and have no incentive to lower their standards. I don't blame women for this, they're just playing the … | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 26/02/23 06:20 PM |
| 26 | Why the rate of single men in the US looking for dates has declinedI think "men prefer to sleep around" is a simplification. Both men and women want relationships, if it's with the right person. The difference is that men are willing to sleep around with women who aren't the "right one". For men, the standards for sex are much lower than the standards for a relationship. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 26/02/23 06:07 PM |
| 12 | Highlighting the hypocrisy of feminists with respect to the JK Rowling drama and Mens RightsWouldn't it be great if male and female DV victims shared the same shelters? If they could talk to each other about their similar experiences? It would go a long way towards humanising the other side. Keeping female victims away from men surely just strengthens the idea that men are this dangerous, distant entity that's out to get them. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 22/02/23 05:27 PM |
| 37 | Highlighting the hypocrisy of feminists with respect to the JK Rowling drama and Mens RightsIt's because most of these arguments go down on social media. Nobody goes to social media to engage in am intellectual debate. They go to turn their brain off for a bit. So nobody wants to read your well written, nuanced, evidenced argument. However, the feminist buzzwords and snappy one-liners give people something to upvote, to get the dopamine and feel like they're part of something, without having to turn their brain on. That's why their debate tactics are so dirty and dishonest. It WORKS. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 22/02/23 05:18 PM |
| 12 | One Men and ViolenceI think it's partly society never teaching women not to hit men (as opposed to the "never hit a woman" line men are constantly told), and partly that women's violence is seen as less serious and less harmful. And also women are conditioned to let their emotions show, whereas men are told from day 1 to never show any emotion. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 19/02/23 03:35 PM |

I've seen pushback from women against #killallmen and the like. But they're usually saying stuff like "actually I don't hate all men, but I'm forced to be wary of them, I wish it didn't have to be like this" But the fact that you can even say you're scared of all men shows how far we still have to go. If you were scared of any other demographic, you'd acknowledge that as deeply prejudiced and work on it within yourself wi… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 14/02/23 10:43 PM |
