3	Curfew -- Who Was This Made For? When stories “reverse oppression” to make a point, they almost always end up being shallow, oversimplifying real issues, turning one group into a scapegoat, and trying to guilt-trip the audience instead of actually exploring anything with nuance. It’s like writing a dystopia where white people are forced underground “to show them what they did." It's just cringe. If trackers magically prevent crime, why not give them to everyone? Curfew punishes an entire group but never fixes the root problems.…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	21/11/25 09:41 PM
1	Is there anything that makes you feel you have a male/masculine identity? I’ve never really seen myself as particularly “masculine,” and that’s left me in a strange spot, especially as a teenage guy. On one hand, Western culture tends to cram masculinity into a rigid mold — and on the other, it often puts femininity on a celebrated pedestal, like it’s the essential ingredient that makes a woman truly a woman. But when you look closely, both masculinity and femininity feel like boxes society tries to push people into. And honestly, I don’t want to be confined to any bo…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	12/07/25 10:23 PM
13	How representive of feminism is r/AskFeminists? I agree that if the subreddit was presented purely as a women's advocacy group — like how there are advocacy orgs for other marginalised groups — it would make total sense for those spaces to stay focused on their core constituency. But in public discourse, media, and especially educational/institutional contexts, feminism is often framed as a movement for equality — for everyone. It’s commonly promoted as something that ‘helps men too,’ by expanding gender roles and dismantling patriarchal syst…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	12/07/25 06:37 AM
90	How representive of feminism is r/AskFeminists? The whole “If you include men, you’re taking the spotlight away from women” thing is exactly what drew me away from that subreddit. In a comment thread claiming that men are becoming angry, toxic and lazy now that women are outperforming them in everything academically. I made the valid point suggesting that the argument might've been a bit too generalised, and how it might be more about self-esteem and not seeing a place for themselves, rather than resentment. I even went as far as to say that …	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	11/07/25 07:36 AM
0	Stop glorifying "masculinity" Take your thoughts over the r/askfeminists I'm sure they'll help you 😂. You're contradicting yourself.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	07/06/25 05:40 AM
1	Stop glorifying "masculinity" I used to feel the exact way you do, and honestly, I still think that lots of modern feminism does inadvertently strip men of their so called "masculinity" and I don't really think it's productive in any sense, but your argument also isn't any more productive. But yeah, It felt like all the talk about masculinity was just about shaming men, and it made me angry too. But after a while, I realised a lot of these critiques weren't trying to enslave men, they were trying to point out how the expecta…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	04/06/25 08:25 AM
1	Stop glorifying "masculinity" Masculinity refers to the set of qualities, behaviours, and roles that a given society considers typical or appropriate for men. Masculinity in itself isn't anti-male of course. But It can go completely both ways, especially when it comes to societal expectations from different cultures. Traditional patriarchal structures spread a tainted masculinity that hurts everyone, but that's not to say that men can totally use brotherhood, physical power, and steadiness to help others. I always thought of…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	30/05/25 11:56 PM

9	Women are considered brave for leaving men they no longer love. They’re encouraged not to stay in a relationship just for the kids. When men do the exact same thing they are deemed cowards. Double standards... An issue affecting men just as much as women. Really it's the best term to describe all the social issues we face and lots of the things outlined on this sub. It often has to do with the opposite gender being celebrated for something while the other gets devalued for doing the same thing. Here's a few examples that affect men: Gender Expectations: Many people - boys included are taught to think that "Toxic Masculinity" is a trait that come from men, but when these same traits…	/r/MensRights	31/01/25 10:40 PM
3	I believe we need more men in phycology, here's why: No one should feel like they can’t express valid concerns about men’s mental health without facing backlash. That’s a huge problem, and it’s something that needs to be addressed—especially if we want to create more inclusive environments for everyone, regardless of gender. I'm no expert but I find it quite ironic how a field that aims to better people's lives can be so biased (based off your viewpoint).	/r/MensRights	31/01/25 10:18 PM
1	I believe we need more men in phycology, here's why: I also agree that community-based support, like what’s traditionally been done in religious or philosophical spaces — has a lot of value. A lot of men might prefer those environments because they feel less clinical and more personal. That’s completely valid, and I think any approach should be encouraged rather than forcing men into a one-size-fits-all model. At the end of the day, men struggling with mental health should have multiple options, whether that’s through therapy, philosophy, religiou…	/r/MensRights	31/01/25 08:42 PM
1	I believe we need more men in phycology, here's why: I hear your frustration, and I get why you feel this way. And It's really refreshing to have a good debate like this. I’m not trying to compare past injustices or say everything is equal—I’m saying that if we recognise a problem (that men feel unwelcome in psychology and therapy), the solution isn’t to avoid it entirely. The solution is to work hard create space for men to be represented so these issues don’t persist. If men don’t enter psychology and therapy, then nothing changes. There's no ea…	/r/MensRights	31/01/25 08:37 PM
6	I believe we need more men in phycology, here's why: Your viewpoint really means a lot, and I agree that there are many challenges in many academic and professional environments that can be frustrating for men. However, I don’t think it should discourage men from entering the field of psychology or therapy altogether. The issues you’ve faced are real, very! But it’s important to recognise that not all environments or professionals are like that. Yes, there are biases that exist in areas, but the overall goal should be to create more diverse and ba…	/r/MensRights	31/01/25 11:25 AM
2	I believe we need more men in phycology, here's why: ah yes!! Should I bother deleting it and reposting it just to correct one word? Thanks for bringing that to my attention	/r/MensRights	31/01/25 11:01 AM
6	I believe we need more men in phycology, here's why: Thanks, of course I wouldn't class myself as a fully-fledged "feminist" because it's really a double edged sword in terms of how different people perceive it. Drastically different meanings or definitions depending on the person too. I really try and base my views about what I recon a utopian society would be like: where masculine energy would be equally as valued and celebrated as feminine energy.	/r/MensRights	31/01/25 10:44 AM
