| 3 | "Misogyny of male suicide"Oh yeah you're completely right, I somehow forgot that's where so much of it comes from | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 14/07/26 05:05 PM |
| 12 | "Misogyny of male suicide"It's just out and about, honestly. I've seen it more than once to be sure. Haven't seen it in awhile because I look at very very few subs anymore. I'm sure you can find the sentiment on some feminist forums or the like | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 14/07/26 04:01 AM |
| 9 | "Misogyny of male suicide"If it makes you feel better I think I recognize talking like that. It sounds like a rationalization to me, which in a case like this makes me wonder about mental health issues | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 13/07/26 11:28 PM |
| 16 | "Misogyny of male suicide"There's another layer to it, extended suicide is a thing. Yes it can be different but it certainly seems analogous to "women kill men out of self defense, men kill out of aggression" | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 13/07/26 11:23 PM |
| 8 | I think a lot of people on this sub needs to learn to separate the feminist theory, from the people who talk about it. Otherwise we risk to fall back into sexism.Overall, I agree with feminism in theory. Men and women both need more rights, so supporting women's rights, depending on who you ask, it also helps out men's rights too For me, the problem comes along with the actions. The actions often do betray their words, but you brought up the point of feminism not being monolithic, and that's a good point. Some feminists are misandrists, and sometimes feminism is framed as only a women's movement, men need to make their own- which inevitably gets pushback… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 01/07/26 06:24 PM |

| 1 | NowThis somewhat disingenuously frames endometriosis as man vs woman by comparing it to male pattern baldnessInteresting, do you have a source? Would love to check it out | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 21/06/26 09:13 PM |
| 3 | Leaving autism subs due to misandry...Fair enough. If that's what you prefer, then that's fine and fair lol. Autism or not, I do at least relate a lot to not relating to online communities. I feel like there's an unwritten "autism competition", like the most autistic person there wins or therefore deserves more sympathy for being "more" autistic | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 14/06/26 12:40 AM |
| 2 | Have you got the impression feminism is losing its traction too?I should've phrased it better, yes I believe it is beneficial here. I specifically mean the rates of misandry growing may be an availability heuristic. I think we're simply more aware of misandry in society now, and thus it may seem like it's growing. My mistake lol | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 14/06/26 12:34 AM |
| 7 | Leaving autism subs due to misandry...I'm not saying you are or you are not autistic, but I will say I thought I was the same way as an autistic Then I got real close to people with autism and then they could point out my stims and autistic behavior from a mile away. I thought I was just about fully neurotypical presenting lol. Just is something to think about | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 13/06/26 07:39 PM |
| 1 | So What Have Yall Done?A bit of a late reply but am glad to hear you're on this side too lol How did you even find this after 6 months? Lol | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 13/06/26 02:51 AM |
| 9 | Have you got the impression feminism is losing its traction too?Though I do have to wonder how much of this is based on the availability heuristic. Studies are being shown on sexism in men, and I think more people are pushing back. I think it can feel very rough because we're so aware of misandry, but I think that's also exactly part of why a difference might be being made | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 12/06/26 01:48 PM |
| 16 | Men and Women Kill Intimate Partners at Rates Closer Than You Think, Says Ann SilversWhat's crazy is this still a lot more nuanced than a lot of us know | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 01/06/26 12:08 PM |
| 10 | How do you manage not to become misanthropic?I made a post just like this a few years ago, and got essentially the same exact answers. Scummy, honestly. I'm fine now but so much of this feels in bad faith | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 28/05/26 05:01 PM |
| 10 | Absence of Research Papers Documenting Online MisandryI think the more we're aware of such biases the more we can potentially stop it. Yeah it seems to be an ingrained human instinct, but humans are so adaptable. I don't think it'll be all sunshine and roses any time soon, but we're making progress on fronts like microaggressions and ingrained biases. I'm optimistic | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 21/05/26 12:58 PM |

| 2 | Genuinely curious where women get the idea men sexually assault men more than womenAwesome, I always love collecting more sources, and do apologize if my last comment sounded snappy at all, I was genuinely curious Very happy to hear not 53% of female guards though. I didn't expect as such but still good to hear lol | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 02/05/26 08:26 AM |
| 6 | Genuinely curious where women get the idea men sexually assault men more than women53% of all female guards? Do you have a source? I do always like bringing this piece to light as well for those who haven't seen it. I'd bet it's nothing you haven't seen already, though https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2015/03/idaho-juvenile-detention-sexual-abuse/ | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 01/05/26 09:53 PM |
| 4 | How do you other queer LWMA's connect with other LGBTQ people without risking exposure to missndry?My boyfriend and I (nonbinary but cis man presenting) both just have mostly left queer spaces. We both frequent this sub and both agree that it's stupid the amount of stuff just allowed. I'll never get the expectation that I'm suddenly supposed to hate men or cishet white men for that matter. Every single cishet white man I know is just a regular guy Interestingly I've met a lot of my online friends on this sub in specific, and while most are LGBTQ+, we each agree it's best to recoil away from m… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 01/05/26 07:12 PM |

| 16 | Post in r/science claims women are better off after their husbands die, comments are as you’d expect.Yeah I just ignore it at this point, it's actually kind of funny Imo, they probably haven't looked much deeper into gender studies, mixed with a cultural bias. Not saying I don't need to look deeper as well though That being said, I would imagine women have larger support groups and more hobbies and such. Whereas men tend to not be encouraged to do any of that as much | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 13/03/26 01:44 AM |
| 17 | Questions for the sub, and hopefully something positive for you guysI just enjoy the people around me, and like seeing the difference in everyone. I advocate for men because it's so dearly needed, and talking about my experiences when I identified as a guy just is forgotten, talked over, or vilified. I got tired of my experiences and observations being seen as a fundamental problem with me. Eventually I found a like-minded community of people here That being said, if you look around at men's subs yes a lot of them are still going for feminism and older beliefs, … | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 28/02/26 11:23 AM |
| 50 | For the women and non binary people on this subI identified as a cishet guy for the vast majority of my life, so I still hold those experiences as being treated as a guy, despite being nonbinary now. And as of now I just present as a cishet guy too for a multitude of reasons (especially right now in the US), so I'm often grouped in by default Even if someone knows I'm nonbinary and doesn't know I present as cishet I think I'm often lumped in with men Either way, I'm for gender advocacy for everyone | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 28/02/26 11:14 AM |
| 1 | Anybody notice how often women named in the Epstein files are presumed to only be accomplices, and not pedophiles themselves?Are you willing to share it with me as well, if that'd be alright? | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 18/02/26 01:13 AM |
| 1 | Anybody notice how often women named in the Epstein files are presumed to only be accomplices, and not pedophiles themselves?Do you have a source on the women saying other women raped them? I haven't seen anything about this yet | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 18/02/26 01:07 AM |
| 2 | Is Feminists for Men Inc. a good organization?I'm not sure of the stats personally, I just figured that was what they were referring to and thought I'd shed some light on the matter, but it might be something for me to look into | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 26/01/26 04:36 AM |
| 2 | Is Feminists for Men Inc. a good organization?https://www.reddit.com/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates/s/JxkX2JUbnW | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 25/01/26 08:44 AM |
| 9 | So What Have Yall Done?I never said I haven't. I've lost some good friends to this type of stuff | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 20/12/25 07:04 PM |
| 58 | So What Have Yall Done?I'm trying to educate those around me and open to such topics about the areas men struggle with. I also try to reach out to those who seemed to be in my place before I found this sub I'd like to do more, but such opportunities are nearly nonexistant and or risky to talk about, as a lot of this stuff can be really, really frowned upon to talk about | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 20/12/25 05:52 AM |
| 3 | LWMA Lounge December 2025Yeah I hear you. I have a few friends I can talk to about this stuff and they share the same opinions as me thankfully, but can definitely feels really hard to find anyone wanting to listen sometimes | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 17/12/25 03:43 AM |
| 11 | LWMA Lounge December 2025Do you guys talk to anyone about this stuff? For a long time I couldn't tell if I was going insane or if no one else just saw all the misandry in day to day life. Finding this sub was a massive game changer for my life | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 12/12/25 02:38 AM |
| 3 | bit off topic, but how do you guys deal with socializing?Tell me about it. This community is one of the most politically unique I've ever found, even though it seems like the minimum for egalitarianism | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 09/12/25 11:01 PM |
| 3 | bit off topic, but how do you guys deal with socializing?Honestly, it's made me far more reclusive than I used to be. There's only a few people I talk about this stuff with, and thankfully for me they enjoy this sub too, but other than those few people, I keep myself pretty vague so I don't get close to those people It absolutely is isolating sometimes, but I'm not going to kowtow and accept being a doormat | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 09/12/25 10:55 PM |
| 2 | bit off topic, but how do you guys deal with socializing?It's pretty hard imo, I have absolutely distanced myself from people after learning their views. I always always vet people in person, but haven't met someone like me in person. It's genuinely so weird and mind boggling how much socialization has made us see things that are ok and aren't ok. Just because everyone is ok with something doesn't mean it's ethically moral or ok. Take slavery, as an example I have met multiple pretty cool people from this sub, though. But I fully understand why someon… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 09/12/25 10:46 PM |

In the US men are far more in favor https://www.ipsos.com/en-us/news-polls/military-draft-women-support-2021 "In 2021, over half of all men (55%) support drafting women, compared to about a third (36%) of women." | /r/MensRights | 30/11/25 11:18 PM |
| 16 | Is The Left For Men Anymore?In my opinion, yes, and no. As it currently stands I'm pretty disgusted with what the left offers both women and men, but am especially disgusted with the double standards we are seeing as ok or even a necessity For this reason I count myself as actually more left than most people, and way more left than any party. Our community is slowly spreading though, hopefully more and more | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 30/10/25 03:51 PM |
| 5 | Why do men have to prove themselves real men?I wholeheartedly agree. Generally if someone tells me someone isn't a real man I stop listening. Generally means they're either transphobic or being misandrist | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 16/10/25 06:29 PM |
| 2 | Why do men have to prove themselves real men?I understand it. I've had my behavior called feminine or just been told I'm not a real man many times, growing up I was a feminine guy despite identifying as cishet. But I do like that this community doesn't really enforce that on anyone | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 16/10/25 06:24 PM |
| 3 | Why do men have to prove themselves real men?In my opinion men tend to carry more hard power whereas women tend to carry more soft power | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 16/10/25 06:17 PM |

| 4 | Why do men have to prove themselves real men?As in the need to prove it or the social pressure to prove it? I had it a happen a lot to me and was around traditional masculinity so I believed it. These days I couldn't care less. I'm not changing an aspect about myself for greater approval from an internet stranger. Nothing towards you I'm just sharing my experience | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 15/10/25 10:20 PM |

Or at least a good one I think the dating market is really messed up right now for everyone. Also more and more people are refusing to have kids | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 10/10/25 07:15 PM |

| 35 | Men's version of Tea app?Truth be told, that's precisely what I expected. I really think humans are really quick to point a finger and call someone or something a boogeyman. Not to say I'm ok with or condone these groups, or the tactics they're employing, but overall I expect l the vast majority of these groups (men and women and everyone else) to be just very socially awkward people who may very well be bitter | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 28/07/25 01:34 AM |

| 2 | Young male college graduates just as likely to be unemployed as non-graduatesGood to know. I'll try to be vigilant about that stuff then And no I'm not a physical therapist ha. I am a huge enthusiast in the field, but ultimately decided not to go forth. Initially I did want to apply to medical school but realized in the US the don't make a whole lot, especially for the debt often accrued. Was going the physical therapy assistant route but and got I'm but last I saw insurance companies are crunching them, so I jumped ship before ever committing much. Now I'm in tech | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 20/07/25 01:54 AM |

But it is by the Finance Times, the same one reporting on the gender disparities of the Western world today. I wish I had something about that claim | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 19/07/25 10:42 PM |

I'm trying really hard to break through and get a really good resume and portfolio going but who knows. Any advice or stories to share by any chance? Ironically I changed to software because physical therapy (in the United States) is not in a good place and I wanted another way to go haha | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 19/07/25 09:00 PM |

| 2 | Acknowledgment of male struggles, although maybe a little victim-blaming?At least society is stepping away from the toxic masculinity phase, and misandry is much more accepted now, but I see positive masculinity thrown around a lot too. I see people defending it saying as though default masculinity today is caked in misogyny At the very least, it's extremely interesting to see just how humans and society work, how much double standards and bias there is. How fallible humans are, tbh | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 19/07/25 05:43 AM |

That post was just absolutely seething with hatred and honestly some of the worst reasoning I've seen in a long time I am not a woman nor have I ever been but that post came off to me as really quite patronizing and misogynistic, absolutely not giving women the autonomy of choice and assuming all women must think and feel the same way I've seen that sub and others like it before.

| -1 | Feminism mistakes oligarchy as patriarchyAgreed with the misogyny, however I believe we are all conditioned to be misandrist too. As someone once told me, her experience in the US was that sexism was much more prevalent than racism was I firmly say it depends on what and where a man's privilege is in and authority. In the office? Probably a man's opinion will be held higher. In a daycare? Probably a woman's | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 09/06/25 03:31 AM |
| 11 | Feminism mistakes oligarchy as patriarchyI think it's more an issue of actions speaking louder than words, that is being discussed here. Like, my coworkers are all feminists and such, however they definitely do place traditionally masculine roles onto me, especially anything at all labor related as I present as a cishet man. Some of it is logical as I am much stronger than them, however many tasks are extremely trivial or they have shown themselves more than capable.

| 15 | Genuine dysphoria induced from misandry. (Hear me out.)I understand you a lot. While I myself like an androgynous spot, it's hard to say if that was because of the ridicule I've gotten for being masculine and is thus an attempt to distance myself from it, or if I do like being androgynous. I think it's a little of both Even though I like being androgynous, I still don't feel in touch with the male side, and it still feels wrong to even encourage it. I'm a muscular guy, but I'm self conscious I look too masculine because of that I too have considered… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 07/12/24 08:33 PM |

| 13 | How can we mitigate the current political divide between Young Men and Women; except not misandristic in content.Pretty disheartening, honestly. I'm surprised Vaush is even entertained there but no one is able to actually look at society and say "damn yall this is actually fucked up", no one is able to admit that men do face a lot of systematic and social sexism, that is often encouraged It takes a lot not to be even more disappointed with these answers, but baby steps, I suppose.

| 8 | Systematic tackling of the male loneliness epidemic?I think it's a bigger problem than we know. I believe a lot of close platonic relationships between men are even criticized or looked down upon at times. It can also lead to an inability to be vulnerable with anyone. Brene Brown did a lot of research into male vulnerability. I think the findings speak to why so many just cannot willingly and consciously be vulnerable.

| 3 | Experience during youth as a left wingI grew up in a small city that was very diverse. As such my highschool experience had most people be very leftwing, and depending on the teacher, feminism was highly promoted and talked about as the future, even with a girl's only club. I was also a staunch feminist, until sometime after highschool I felt like I had committed a sin just for being born male I'm no longer leftwing, but I am progressive. Curious if anyone else had something like that | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 11/11/24 05:09 PM |

| 3 | Wellness check: how're you coping with the fallout?Totally agree, and honestly it's so surreal to see the support of men as second class citizens in some cases I know a lot of people are blaming men as a whole for Kamala's defeat, but it's obviously disingenuous, and they don't want to take any accountability it seems. I try to fight the learned helplessness and the constant backlash for being amab, but it's not easy. Something like this was bound to happen | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 10/11/24 03:44 AM |
| 2 | Wellness check: how're you coping with the fallout?Me too. I'm not very concerned for me as a male, in the US men still don't have paper abortions nor is female on male rape recognized for what it is. I also voted Kamala But I am worried about my trans friends. Also hope this presidency isn't too crazy I will admit seeing the huge slap in the face in what some may call a landslide victory is indeed quite amusing haha.

| 3 | Wellness check: how're you coping with the fallout?That's what I'm thinking.

On this sub we argue that even if there was a big discrepancy between how men and women treat each other, that's still fucking awful to despise an entire gender, an entire 50% of the population Even if you do hate women too, that's just absurd dude. This is exactly what we are fighting against | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 14/10/24 04:20 AM |

| 6 | The double speak of "it's other men" or "men do this to themselves" when it comes to male gender roles.Precisely, but I was also getting at just good ol manipulation. We play to our strengths. Men are stronger on average, but women have more social power than men. I say female mass violence is usually in the form of mass accusations. That's how we get things like witch hunts or the black lynchings pretty much. And ofc, the vast majority of people do not partake in any form of mass violence I always feel like feminism's issues are always pinned on men somehow lol.

| 5 | The double speak of "it's other men" or "men do this to themselves" when it comes to male gender roles.I actually prefer to look at it through a lens of behavior be gender Absolutely most firefighters and soldiers are male, but most medical and social workers are female Likewise men commit more crime via physical means, but women commit more crime via social means.

| 27 | The Toxicity of “Positive Masculinity”Sexism, both misogyny and misandry, are disgustingly common. I am so thankful misogyny is being called out a lot more, but it's genuinely angering that misandry gets a pass or is encouraged But it's also a disturbing reflection of feminism for her to say "I feel like my tribe is going against me here". No blame to her here, but for people to be aggressive or hostile because she has several boys? Unnerving | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 05/10/24 07:36 AM |
| 28 | The Toxicity of “Positive Masculinity”The whole article felt like it was getting somewhere, but just barely missing the point. Something about it. I think it's the fact that the article sees men and boys as more of trapped in an unfortunate situation rather than someone to show empathy and compassion to, if that makes sense. I wonder if it's because men really can't make articles about this unless they're calling out fellow men or if they want to be shit on by progressives. It also reeks of the traditional toxic masculinity. Look at… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 05/10/24 07:17 AM |

God forbid they're an adult black man. Like, let's forget we're debating for a second, what is your first reaction to "woman killed by man" vs "man killed by woman"?

I think literally almost every article has to go into depth about the crime gap with absolutely no nuance and reasoning why it's like that (men being the provider for the family, vast of homeless, men have no DV shelters, men are often manipulated by others in order to do their dirty work,etc.) You wonder why men are turning away from you?

How do we, as LWMA's, respond to such misinformed people?Honestly, in a situation like that, I don't. At least not directly. There are so many times I have seen people directly ignore and completely disregard the evidence I show them.

| 3 | Suicide is a killer. As LWMAs it's our duty to be there for men too. How is life for you these days?I've been there dude. At some point I realized I was doing life only because of work, and that the only thing actually propelling me at all was the idea that I need to do this thing, don't even question why, just do it Even now I wonder what my life is about. A family member mentioned to me recently that they were planning a trip and I realized I literally had no aspirations or cares to do anything. It's a cruel world, man.

| 4 | Suicide is a killer. As LWMAs it's our duty to be there for men too. How is life for you these days?Thank you, it's been on my mind for a bit. I know of a lot of men who have committed suicide, unfortunately it seems like everyone knows of someone who has committed suicide in my area.

I struggle these days with the misandry I see, and I struggled with a lot of male guilt too. It's much better these days, but I wasn't too far from being one of the suicide statistics because of misandry and internalized misandry.

| 3 | Responses to married men are more happier.Honestly getting to the point where I'm having trouble wondering what, if any, studies we can trust. This field seems so prone to shit and propaganda, it's hard to know what to trust. Especially with things like gendered surveys or reportings. I think there's so many underreported results and crimes against men especially that I don't know what we can trust | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 16/08/24 08:10 PM |
| 8 | How do you respond intelligently to posts like this?Precisely. Men and women are just as malevolent, and just as violent, but in different ways Men are more physically violent, but women take on different forms of violence. It's why so many crimes are gendered. Violence by proxy is a common form, take Gypsy Rose Blanchard or Jennifer Pan Along with any crime happening to males being undereported, or thought to be in self defense by a woman | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 16/08/24 08:03 PM |

| 5 | Yes, Female Traffickers ApprehendedLook, I know I'm not going to convince you of anything, but in the simplest of terms, men's crimes have more exposure and are treated as more serious, and there are very little studies on women, especially female pedophiles. If rape is not gendered I highly doubt pedophilia is. And in US juvenile detention centers 9/10 sexual assaults are by female guards. I'd go more in depth but I'm at work Let's agree to disagree. If you're not on board with the people and opinions here then there is no reaso… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 12/08/24 11:38 PM |
| 2 | Yes, Female Traffickers ApprehendedPretty good comparison imo. I am curious to see if there's a panic about female teachers as well, though I doubt it and hope not, but I certainly am seeing a lot of memes about them and more awareness of boys being victims of pedophiles. Colleen Ballenger comes to mind with everyone making fun of her. We're making progress | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 11/08/24 06:58 PM |

| 11 | Yes, Female Traffickers ApprehendedI don't know if there's an uptick in these women being caught or what but people are definitely starting to notice. I do hope no discrimination comes out of this regarding female teachers though Maybe the numbers are the same as ever, I don't know. I try to avoid the news often. I find it to very often just be misandrist | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 10/08/24 03:20 AM |

I should say I think there's a disproportionate amount of hard power to men and a disproportionate amount of soft power to women, which is why I listed them as such, but it definitely isn't just male/female I think you might be right about soft power like Putin has, but I say might because tbh I don't know how to define soft power.

| 2 | The "Immorality" of Supporting MenLet's put aside for a moment morality here and speak only in terms of physical actions; if the very worst of what humankind can inflict as a projection of hatred and anger involves the acts of war and genocide, then it is the gender with the stronger physical capabilities that carries out such acts. Therefore, putting aside the moral intentions of the people we analyze, it gets clear that men, due to their physically stronger nature, possess the grounds that allow them to project their intention… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 31/07/24 06:44 PM |
| 9 | The "Immorality" of Supporting MenAcademia is biased towards both men and women in different ways. Towards men they assume a toxic masculinity sort of relationship often, and there is a heavy lack of female studies in many areas. I wholeheartedly reject the notion of there are both more exceptional and terrible men than women, I find that to be both misandrist and misogynistic.

| 6 | "Women and children". Womens lives are valued more than men's lives by Wikipedia and the UN. Why should the life of an 18 year old manatter less than his own mother or grandmother who have already lived out their lives. What about a single father's life? What about a father vs childless woman?I don't trust many organizations to help men. It seems to always begin with men repenting for for their sins of being a man, and ignoring any actual problems or solutions, very possibly making it worse. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 31/07/24 04:49 AM |

You could be taking action to build mental health resources for men. You can recognize and change the ways you contribute to toxic ideas of masculinity, like creating space for your male friends to express their emotions in a healthy way instead of telling them to “man up.” Tell that to all the men's shelters and resources destroyed for helping men… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 30/07/24 05:47 AM |
| 8 | The way feminism wants men to act/feel about gender issues feels very religious/catholic to meAgreed. I feel like it's more just about tearing men down than any empowerment, at least on any social scale. Academic and systematic might be different, but I feel like it's looped on itself so that the women who aren't in favor of feminism, subscribe to very traditional gender roles, and or are "pickmes" are casualties as well Imo it's too disorganized anymore to be any powerhouse. Not unlike religion | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 30/07/24 01:57 AM |

I will gladly take but not give back to society as of right now, as cathartic but immature as that is | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 29/07/24 06:50 AM |
| 14 | From Great Men of History to Great Men are HistoryIt's an interesting trend to see how progressives are becoming so dogmatic in their pursuit for gender equality that they have Flanderized their efforts and standings.

| 1 | Public mass shootings are a form of suicide by cop and caused by suicidality and insufficiently treated mental illness, and offenders had more in common with people who kill themselves than they did with other killers, research shows. Suicide by cop doesn't work if you're a woman.Agreed. I expect women would take exactly the same measures if they were in the same spot, and the spots of men. Women are just as violent, but in different ways Side note, the tidbit about the shooters leaking their plans to others, I wonder how deep that goes. I wonder if anyone was mocked about that or even encouraged to do so | /r/MensRights | 27/07/24 04:57 PM |

There is no one worrying about women committing domestic violence or women literally encouraging men to kill themselves, to increase the average number of suicides per day by men I will keep repeating it until I am physically stopped, men and women are just as violent.

| -1 | "But more women are killed or seriously injured by male partners!"You're right it is a shit analogy, and kind of misogynistic if I'm being honest, so I apologize for that, I had no intention of that, but it does make a neat metaphor I don't know.

| 13 | I'm really confused about MensLib take here.Agreed. I think they tend to bank towards heavily critical and allied. But I also think this is largely due to males getting fed up and alienated with leftist traits.

Maybe I misinterpreted what you said, if I did I apologize. But the idea of young men being ignorant, strong, violent, hateful, and impulsive is one I have an especially strong disdain for Not saying it doesn't happen, but there's a lot of prejudice there.

| 10 | Surprised to see this from a male advocacy sub and from a man to another man. Am I the only woman who’s not scared of men, and thinks it would be terrible for society if all men disappeared for a day?To be fair, men are much, much more likely to be killed by a stranger than a woman. Women are much more likely to be killed by someone they know. But this is all misleading Men make up 80% of homicides, and this seems to be gang related violence. The spousal killings ratio of sex is around 60:40 male:female, and I have heard it was pretty much the same before women's shelters, which I believe honestly.

Women can't make men be open, but they can be there to listen, and I think it's a moral obligation of all of us to help those in need And even then, it doesn't fix everything. I have a good friends, we hug and say I love you to each other, but it does nothing for me I don't think we should blame the victim so much either. Obesity is a hugely com… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 10/04/24 05:30 PM |
| 3 | How Society is Pushing Men Toward Toxic Conservative Values and How AWDTSG is Accelerating ItOk I think I gotcha now. Definitely have noticed that as well, that feminine traits are encouraged in men, but not in the ones people are dating, often. And feminity is encouraged, but not masculinity Could you also classify it as a sexism issue? Like both sides are sexist, but not in the same ways | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 10/04/24 05:14 PM |
| 2 | How Society is Pushing Men Toward Toxic Conservative Values and How AWDTSG is Accelerating ItI've definitely seen the conservative vs liberal, but not sure if I've seen the androcentric or gynocentric parts. If anything the world has felt like it was getting more gynocentric to me until around 2020 or so, maybe even a bit later. Feels like now we're seeing that pendulum start to swing | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 10/04/24 05:03 PM |
| 2 | How Society is Pushing Men Toward Toxic Conservative Values and How AWDTSG is Accelerating ItHmm, I think I'm having a hard time envisioning the gynocentric liberalism vs androcentric rigidness here, and how they differ | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 10/04/24 04:54 PM |
| 17 | How Society is Pushing Men Toward Toxic Conservative Values and How AWDTSG is Accelerating ItI agree and disagree, but I'll just explain real quick I'm certainly not conservative and am definitely progressive in my views, I just don't identify as leftist anymore because no one seems to really care on the left, if anything I feel more disdain than any help or even general apathy | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 10/04/24 04:46 PM |
| 11 | How Society is Pushing Men Toward Toxic Conservative Values and How AWDTSG is Accelerating ItRigidness how? Because I'm not so sure I agree, as men were more liberal than women at times | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 10/04/24 04:43 PM |
| 2 | *sigh*I think it is kind of scary the stuff that is ignored, and often encouraged in society. Both misogyny and misandry) can kill, and never lead to anything good I still don't understand how you have the mental resolve to keep going this strong either lol | /r/EverydayMisandry | 10/04/24 02:58 AM |
| 2 | Curious about the demographics hereI agree, I'm just going the inverse way. I don't think feminism is a good name for a group that calls for female and male advocacy. And if that isn't then of course this sub isn't either | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 10/04/24 01:22 AM |
| 12 | The male loneliness epidemic: be alert and react when you can!I wonder if part of the problem is simply a "use it or lose it" sort of deal, where individuals who aren't as encouraged to tune into their emotions will eventually succumb to synaptic pruning, and thus they have a hard time talking about emotions, even if they're not embarrassed I really struggle to find words and ways to express myself. After many years of indirectly being told to be stoic, it's a hard turnaround point. And I won't lie, some people are a bit patronizing when it comes to males … | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 09/04/24 05:53 PM |
| 1 | Jesus guess I'll keep my mouth shut. My OP in second screenshot.Yeah I don't think contradict was the right word, but I guess moreso there's no yin to that yang, if that makes any sense. To me if trans men are men, and cis men are men, we should probably have an autism in men sub, if doesn't exist/hasn't been banned NB is harder to pin. I don't have anything against a nb sub but it might just be so niche that it dies out pretty quick | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 09/04/24 08:08 AM |
| 1 | Jesus guess I'll keep my mouth shut. My OP in second screenshot.Those are good reasons but I guess I feel like 2 and 3 partly contradict each other, mainly if there's no equal space for men with autism. If there is a space for that, then sure. 4 seems like it can go either way for me. I would rather approach the situation as a nonbinary than what I was assigned as at birth, but that's my experience But I still think cis men should be able to post on there, even if it's just a question. And vice versa | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 09/04/24 07:53 AM |
| 1 | Curious about the demographics hereWhich, personally, I don't blame them. I suppose it is a place for males in the end | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 09/04/24 07:43 AM |
| 2 | Curious about the demographics hereI suppose the sub is leftwingMALEadvocates. I guess that also doesn't necessarily mean a man | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 09/04/24 05:00 AM |
| 7 | Curious about the demographics hereThank you. I thought the same thing. I imagined men would be the most numerous, but I didn't imagine by this much lol, or even that NB would outnumber women (for awhile anyway) | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 09/04/24 04:48 AM |
| 7 | Jesus guess I'll keep my mouth shut. My OP in second screenshot.My best guess is disagreement with the non cis men part. Yeah I think that's a pretty weird thing to say, but I think all around this might not be the best post for this sub, not to judge or shame | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 09/04/24 01:51 AM |
| 4 | Curious about the demographics hereTouche. You're right I should have, but I suppose I was thinking the more than one fell into the non binary umbrella, but I'm not sure | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 09/04/24 12:58 AM |
| 4 | Curious about the demographics hereThat's how I felt too. I thought on what/who I am and realized that I don't ever want predefined gender roles to define or limit me, nor have I felt very masculine or feminine throughout my life. I'm all for challenging gender roles and norms, but I think we should acknowledge that some individuals enjoy those roles and norms. I don't think it's bad either way | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 08/04/24 07:48 PM |
| 2 | Curious about the demographics hereIt was the least I could do, and I actually do agree. I think it's wrong to put a transgender option, and or trans man/woman option. And just disrespectful Certainly they have more nuanced views, and I am interested in interactions. I've heard people say that being a woman you get tons of attention at all times, at least if you're young, then as a man nearly none. I've even heard people say older women and men are more alike in this way. But I believe this is too generalized to say for all | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 08/04/24 07:29 PM |
| 3 | Curious about the demographics hereI'll go first since I started this. I identify my gender as agender, but due to biological and medical reasons I still count my sex as male; XY chromosomes | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 08/04/24 07:13 PM |
| 3 | Traditionalism/Conservatism is in many ways compatible with feminism.That's something I've sorta seen as well. Perhaps the entire point is whooshing over my head but why do we genderize these issues rather than just call out the toxicity? And I guess I don't understand why toxic masculinity took off and toxic feminity did not And I do believe we are too focused today (and likely in earlier times) about such a divide in beliefs between men and women. Even ones that didn't seem to be exactly truthful, such as domestic abuse being a gendered issue | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 07/04/24 09:25 AM |

| 2 | Is Male Loneliness Self-Inflicted?If I'm reading correctly, I believe op is saying men/males generally relate more to this stuff That being said, I agree with you. There's no reason not to befriend a man, and talking with some other dudes in dms, it gets intimate pretty quick, at least when I ask them to talk. I see a lot of men want rights for women but feel bad about all the misandry online. Misogyny is definitely an issue as well but in my, likely biased, opinion, I see more talk of women's health than men's. These guys seem … | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 04/04/24 08:49 PM |

And unfortunately there's a huge data bias against men in all walks of sexual assault and harassment statistics Yeah there's things I don't know if men experience as much, like catcalling, and I don't know how much either gender experiences sexual harassment as much (as in frequency per person), but as a male is does feel like things g… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 04/04/24 08:29 PM |

| 1 | Do men blame women for their problems?Ohhh you're totally right I forgot that centrist is the new conservative. My bad lol That being said, I have seen a bit of pushback against the latter case on Reddit. And I don't know if it's my algorithm but Communism is becoming more and more favorable to a lot of left wing groups | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 03/04/24 09:14 PM |
| 2 | Do men blame women for their problems?But yeah you're right. Reddit is super left leaning. I see centrist views taken as conservative a lot | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 03/04/24 06:55 PM |
| 1 | Do men blame women for their problems?Yeah, I agree, but unfortunately I don't think they believe it's a hasty generalization at all Obviously it's a lot more complex than men being the issue for a lot of things | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 03/04/24 06:09 PM |
| 2 | Do men blame women for their problems?Not being pedantic, I don't use it, but is Tumblr more left leaning than Reddit? | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 03/04/24 05:51 PM |
| 2 | Is Male Loneliness Self-Inflicted?I think men have a part to play, absolutely, and perhaps I'm misunderstanding all of this, but isn't this a bit of a generalization against women, that they all have negative views of men? Ethically and morally I think they're obligated to help men's issues, just as we are women's and anyone else's. We need everyone's opinions and views to really make progress | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 03/04/24 09:10 AM |

I can copy and paste the comment that inspired this post if you like, but I don't want harassment or brigading so I won't link it I see it a lot though, but I feel like it's sort of a layman's view, no offense to anyone of course.

| 4 | LWMA Lounge April 2024Does anyone else feel some sort of societal pressure to atone for other men? The nth room or something scandal in South Korea I guess had a bunch of men watching porn of blackmailed women and such, numbering to apparently 15k. AI porn, kidnapping attempts, I guess it just makes me feel like society expects me to answer for that and take the blame, even when I don't identify as a man. Does anyone else feel this way? | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 02/04/24 08:10 AM |
| 3 | Why don't men protest more?Noble, sure, and I have no problem with that. My problem is that it's more or less seen as a thing for a guy to do (and women honestly may not get as much recognition for when they do it) but it's that it's so prevalent to wish to go out in a blaze of glory, just as it is to wish to go to war But perhaps I'm mistaking fantasy for actual desires | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 02/04/24 04:09 AM |

I've told these sorts of things to a few people and I'm always seen as a misogynist and it does change their view of me. With some people I know it feels like I have to say that women 100% have it worse and men are the problem in order just to be properly heard, even though I don't believe that Also, some estimates place men for higher deaths of dv due to suicide | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 02/04/24 03:15 AM |

| 6 | What's your thoughts about this video: Why the political worldviews of young men and women are increasingly diverging | DW AnalysisI'm sure it's been like this a lot throughout history, but I notice the same thing. I believe that people are more inclined to support their party than their actual values. And we know that people will actively campaign against what would help then, there were Jews for Hitler, women against RvW, and so many others. I guess it is just a lot of propaganda too I don't want to say "everyone is a sheep", but it does open my eyes to the free will debate | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 01/04/24 07:24 PM |
| 12 | What's your thoughts about this video: Why the political worldviews of young men and women are increasingly diverging | DW AnalysisI think that's probably more akin to reality, however I do believe that they often evolve into scapegoats.

| 3 | Why don't men protest more?I agree with all your points, and I do think feminism has taken a virtue signaling approach to men's issues, but I do actually want to point out this is more of a clap back at criticism for men being told to carry their own weight Individually, yes people probably care. Feminism as a whole? I doubt it. It's also kind of in direct opposition to a lot of the things they say, that feminism benefits men and there's no reason for men to join a men's group otherwise, but then we've seen people say it'… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 31/03/24 03:00 AM |

| 15 | Why don't men protest more?Something I saw a few people point out is how disturbing it is that a lot of men imagine dying in a flame of glory, stopping a bunch of criminals and saving everyone else's lives in the process. And they all pointed out that sacrificing yourself makes you a real man | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 30/03/24 03:52 AM |

| 21 | Why don't men protest more?That's a big reason I was thinking about, financial health and all. I'm glad gender norms are changing for everyone, but it does feel like men are still expected to provide, and a lot of this equality talk seems stuck on the idea of punching up, which at the end of the day, is still punching | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 29/03/24 06:31 PM |

I'm curious about what it's like, how critical it is of itself, does it acknowledge it's for women? Does it try to say it's for men too?

My views are still progressive, but theeft makes me feel like a tyrant, even though I identify as agender I do think things are changing, but I don't think older leftists will change their tune much.

| 2 | It's time to protest in front of the embassies of countries with conscription!I hear a lot that women banded together while men never did. I would think there's something to explain this Right now, in the West, it feels as though people are just now realizing men have a lot of issues too, including other men. I do think a lot of men are scared to voice their problems and or are huge advocates for feminism, and that men's issues pale in comparison to women's | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 27/03/24 05:48 PM |
