| 8 | Idea for the sub: post a repository of case studies of feminist policymaking that actively harms or dehumanizes men/boysI think the idea is good, but not limiting the scope to feminism because in practice conservative and traditionalist policies harm and dehumanize men/boys as much as progressives do | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 27/07/26 07:49 PM |
| 13 | ChangeTBH I think this whole movement-thing still needs a couple years or maybe a decade until we can get to the point of in-person collective organization Like, the reason you see basic concepts explained repeatedly over posts, is because we don’t even have higher lever terms to discuss complex issues as feminists do (ie. patriarchy, mansplaining, glass ceiling, etc), so discussions and conclusions on this subreddit still tend to be very shallow — and that’s only the first step Think of it from a mar… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 24/07/26 09:41 PM |
| 7 | Saving Men from Feminism in order to Save Feminism Is a Lousy IdeaConsider Reeves a stepping stone. Sounds lacking now but it was ahead of its time in 2022 | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 19/07/26 09:40 PM |
| 8 | The abuse of early responsibility placed on boys, and how it extend to adulthood> Maybe I extend my own experience, but do you think the blockage on boys' issues comes from feminists actively shooting down any initiatives to improve school for boys? I think that's an error of concept. Feminism not promoting male voices makes sense because their goal is to carve out representation. Our problem is not them, but that progressivism overall took it as its default framework for gender dynamics, so the spaces needed to address men's issues like the ones you describe were never all… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 18/07/26 06:19 PM |
| -3 | Remember Men, the Republican Party is not our friendI for once agree this policy bc it means lots of qualified labor trained with US standards are coming back to my country | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 17/07/26 10:25 PM |
| 16 | Remember Men, the Republican Party is not our friendYeap, just because someone gives you a mic it doesn’t mean you’ll be allowed to speak your mind IRL the right doesn’t represent men any more than the left does bc they both see us as one monolithic group in need of correction instead of millions of people with wildly different perspectives, opinions, and orientations | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 17/07/26 10:20 PM |
| 91 | "Misogyny of male suicide"Weirdly, the way they deal with men as perpetrators mimics how the US deals with its prisoners. No focus on rehabilitation or prevention, only punishment and dehumanization. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 13/07/26 07:03 PM |
| 11 | Toxic Masculinity, Healthy Masculinity, Positive Masculinity, Toxic Femininity what are they?Totally agree, and that's why I think rather than positive/negative masculinity we should call it positive/negative gender normativity. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 08/07/26 04:25 AM |
| 19 | Are young men THAT conservative?> feminism coated right wing ideology. I think of it as half-baked progressivism. First the feminist collective implemented a policy of not promoting male voices which made sense for their particular case, but the problem was that progressives across the board then took feminism as the default stance for how to understand gender dynamics, so male voices inside progressive circles never got to grow and mature. Without a voice, there's no representation, and without male representation progressive… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 25/06/26 06:22 PM |
| 56 | Are young men THAT conservative?I think it's not that men are more conservative but rather that there's no space where they fit on the progressive spectrum -- think of it as a negative pressure -- so you get this mix of stances that they call the "manosphere". Those you see aren't conservatives, but rather orphaned progressives | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 25/06/26 05:18 PM |
| 1 | NowThis somewhat disingenuously frames endometriosis as man vs woman by comparing it to male pattern baldnessKey here is that male baldness is a COSMETIC procedure. You could do the same calculation for prostate cancer getting $250 million for research (NIH) vs breast enhancement surgery which is a $3 billion industry. Focus here, as per what concerns men, is that the baldness industry is extremely exploitative but almost no one talks about it as damaging to the self-esteem of men or that it promotes unhealthy beauty standards. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 24/06/26 03:31 PM |
| 18 | If women can be equal in the workplace, why can't men be equal in the home?Reminds when Christina Hoff Sommers asked the question: Why do "man caves" exist if the house is supposed to be a shared space? | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 18/06/26 02:27 PM |
| 1 | Consent denial vs. consent suppressionYou're right in that the option to consent itself is born from an expression of desire, but it also goes both ways. Because even if you develop the ability to express that desire, your options will still be societally restricted, and you'll be pushed back into suppression of consent -- as you can see from other commenters here saying they received violence and scorn for daring to say no. It's both an individual and societal problem, not something that men can fix only by working on themselves. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 18/06/26 02:17 PM |
| 12 | Consent denial vs. consent suppression> As a result of turning down sex initiated by a female partner, I have been yelled at, slapped, hit, told that I'm gay, told that I'm useless, been belittled, and gossiped about. That's where I try to mark the difference. My hypothesis is that reaction wasn't from you saying no, but rather for the sole act of daring to recognize you have an option. > When she initiates, she will often remind me that I am allowed to say no. This is part of the argument. We're not only not allowed to say no, but … | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 16/06/26 01:47 PM |

| 7 | PatriarchyTBH it means the default point of view through history has been male, which is true. Problem is that the term has been weaponized into equating male with bad as if points of view themselves carried some kind of moral value, thus leading to the unending gender war we see today. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 04/06/26 05:57 PM |
| -1 | I want to be a feminist, but it feels AlienatingThat's not how the rest of the world understands it. I mean, are you really willing to fight against institutions to take down a word just bc it says "patriarch" instead of repurposing it for your own benefit? "Patriarchy" can be sold as a system of separation instead of oppression, one that keeps each one on their own lane. That gives you leverage to denounce discrimination on conscription, family courts, and boys being neglected to be taught housework or how to take care of their future childr… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 04/06/26 03:40 PM |
| -2 | I want to be a feminist, but it feels AlienatingWe need to stop arguing about semantics, it's such a waste of time. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 04/06/26 02:11 PM |
| 0 | I want to be a feminist, but it feels AlienatingUnluckily, that's the word everyone understands. Changing it would take years of campaigning and going against feminist dogma, while changing it's MEANING would be way quicker and would yield way less resistance bc feminists have been saying (at lest in theory) that it affects men all along. I get what you're saying, it just seems like wasted effort. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 04/06/26 02:08 PM |
| -4 | I want to be a feminist, but it feels AlienatingWay I see it, feminism is a reinterpretation of reality from the point of view of women given that the default has always been ours — this later extends onto politics, social norms, etc. but at its core it’s that So, being a “feminist man” means listening and BELIEVING at face value to what women say about their experiences and issues, because you really have no grounds to contradict them That being said, when talking about YOUR experiences as a boy or a man, then you have all the right to contr… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 04/06/26 04:09 AM |

| 22 | The way we raise boys in relation to sex is a form of groomingThat's... full on true. When talking about sex everyone talks about giving or denying consent, but no one asks what happens when you raise a child to actively suppress his own choice. And this is not even a boys issue, adult men go about life talking about the how, why, and whom, but never IF they wanted to have sex to start with. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 28/05/26 05:31 PM |
| 26 | Violence against men on TVI think the misandry comes not from women being able to hit men, but from men getting hit not being an issue. It's a very male specific problem which is often overlooked bc it's assumed we should be able to defend ourselves and receiving/giving violence is just part of the experience of being a man. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 27/05/26 04:14 PM |
| 5 | The phrase "men are afraid of other men" is just a feminist way of calling men weak.A lot of the “modern” discourse around men is just repackaged patriarchy. That’s why spaces like these are so much needed. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 26/05/26 03:28 PM |
| 3 | Any responses to this study a misandrist sent me? “95.1% of surveyed men admitted to using at least one tactic or strategy to sleep with a woman who didn’t consent”>using at least one calculated tactic or strategy to get a woman to engage in sex when they knew she did not want to and had not consented. Falls under this category: - taking some of her workload so she changes her mind - apologizing so she changes her mind - taking special care of her so she changes her mind - giving her gifts so she changes her mind It's completely normal in relationships for people to try and change each other's mind in order to get what they want.

| 52 | Why Are There So Fews Novels That Portray Men As Victims In Abusive Relationships?Women have this whole cultural framework for talking about being abused, they frequently discuss and consume media about it bc they accepted it as part of their shared reality so it’s easy for producers to know their stuff is going to sell. Men on the other hand don’t have any of these practices bc they are socially discouraged to complain so instead they externalize the focus of abuse, so even if many feel individually victimized it’s very unlikely men in general will purchase content bc cultur… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 20/05/26 04:29 AM |
| -1 | Males make up ~61.5% of U.S. hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS) cases (1993-2018). Males make up disproportionate amount of victims starting from adolescence (13-18), indicating male sex as a noticeable risk factor.We knew since the start of the pandemic that the extra male COVID deaths were due to how sexes respond to influenza -- same reason the "man flu" exists. At least that one, was 100% biology. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 19/05/26 07:39 PM |

| 1 | The new forms of sexual harassment the average man now facesThere's a good report on sexual extortion among genders, and it turns out boys and girls experience it about the same rate, though in the case of boys it's mostly for money. One of the more interesting insights is that perpetrators for girls are mostly male (76%m 14%f), while for boys they are about the same (43%m 38%f) so there's a big chunk of women or girls extorting boys which is rarely even considered when talking about these topics.

| 25 | Man I still can’t believe how acceptable misandry isCollectively shaming boys into social compliance is literally how the patriarchy worked for hundreds of years Thats what’s so funny about all of this.

| 12 | "Femicide" Laws Around the WorldI'm from Peru. Femicide laws have actually done a lot of good to curb violence against women as it was deeply ingrained in our culture to the point that it was not only normalized but, in some cases, expected (some women used to believe, if he doesn't hit her then he must be cheating). So, I'm not against any of that. What I'm against is that zero sum mentality where addressing women's issues means ignoring men's issues, which has been the norm for most if not all progressive and left leaning mo… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 14/04/26 09:53 PM |
| 3 | Is gender largely a social construct or are there biological components to it?It's a matter of how you frame it. Large populations with similar incentives will always aggregate towards common traits, which is often read backwards as "how we are", but if you change the pressures around those incentives the common traits will naturally follow. So what you see as "temperament" is really a reflection how individuals react on a point in time, even if biological constraints don't change how we experience and react to them can indeed be altered. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 14/04/26 06:24 PM |
| 3 | Is gender largely a social construct or are there biological components to it?Bc it implies some sort of behavioral predetermination, like if we were robots. What biology gives us are needs and incentives, and how we respond to those incentives is not written in stone. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 14/04/26 05:56 PM |
| 21 | Is gender largely a social construct or are there biological components to it?It's both. Saying "hardwired" is a gross oversimplification. Biology guides what your needs are and how you interact with the world, those interactions at scale repeat and become social norms, and social norms are themselves a social construct so they can be modified with enough social pressure. Biology acts as a baseline for what your relationship with other is going to be, and the rest is purely based on the conditions you experienced growing up and the political/cultural gestalt of the times | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 14/04/26 05:13 PM |
| 86 | How might you respond to a post from a friend who said "we need to teach boys not to rape?" Serious"Why should boys care about rape if we still teach them to laugh and dismiss it when it happens to them?" I think that's a good starting point. SA towards men is still severely underreported bc boys are given the complete opposite message to girls: - they're LUCKY to be assaulted or groomed - it's never a systemic but single and rare cases - others have it worse and they should get over it - it's just not worth reporting bc no one will care The idea that men should care because women are in dang… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 10/04/26 02:58 PM |
| 9 | University of Oxford professor Jonathan Herring, drawing on feminist ethic, argues state must impose curfew on all men to protect womenSo are gay men considered predators too? Can cis men say they are gay and ignore the curfew? Does the author plan on making heterosexuality tests? And what about trans women or asexuals? Do we consider them a risk too due to their biology? So many holes in that argument | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 07/04/26 01:29 PM |
| -28 | Is it a problem if institutions support feminism?I don’t see this as an issue. Feminism and men’s movements are both anti-status quo so we want institutions to be politically biased. What we’re looking for is rather equal representation on said spaces. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 02/04/26 04:30 AM |
| 9 | I feel like an important thing is missed when we discuss sexual assault done on men.It's more than SA really, as kids we're taught to deal with violence but not what to do AFTER the fact Be it bullying, assaults, or fights, we're taught to defend ourselves and internalize responsibility, but not how to call for help, recognize ourselves as victims, or see our experience as part of something bigger (structural) That's a discourse that needs to be broken or else boys and men are going to keep sweeping it under the rug | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 30/03/26 07:38 PM |
| 7 | Both the left and the right are gynocentric, but for many men, the right-wing version of gynocentrism looks more acceptable than the left-wing one (and probably that’s one of the reasons why men more often vote for conservatives)IMHO this all happened bc the left never developed a post-patriarchal notion of men, so once you accepted their ideas, the only way forward as an individual was to step outside of the movement. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 28/03/26 06:17 PM |
| 88 | Conscription is ImmoralConscription is literally the "The Handmaid's Tale" for men: State takes control of your body because society requires it, bodies are used and abused at the whims of the commanders, and defectors are treated as traitors and jailed or murdered -- especially on the russian front The worst fantasy women can muster is a reality for millions of men, yet very few have made the connection. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 27/03/26 03:58 PM |
| -3 | These types of men hijack the men's rights movement and gives us a bad reputationIn my opinion, we should differentiate ourselves from them by emphasizing that our relationship with women is not what defines us as men. In real life, before marriage, most men spend their formative years either alone, with male friends, or trying to have sex—but the “gurus” focus exclusively on the last part, even though it’s only one chapter of the whole journey. And I think the men’s rights movement needs to acknowledge how easy it is to get pulled into those vortices, precisely because they… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 17/03/26 09:43 PM |

| -11 | Paul Eastwick, a psychologist and relationship researcher, has recently released a book promising to bust all the manosphere myths about relationships. His solution to the masculinity question? BRING BACK CHIVALRY!Mens liberation is a paradox due to the lack of biological grounding. We identify as men not because of what our bodies do but what we do for others, so without the "good masculinity" we don't have any glue to hold us together as an identifiable gender. That's why this is such a fringe topic for most people. It's hard to explain why men can't just "libertate themselves" without going deep into what makes a man in the first place. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 13/03/26 09:00 PM |
| 2 | Post in r/science claims women are better off after their husbands die, comments are as you’d expect.What amazes me is that from a feminist perspective (aka from HER pov) the "normal" would be to recuperate fast and the outliers those not properly addressing separation and in need of assistance. There's an argument to be made here about failed deconstructions. Ironically most progressives are still unable to view issues like these unless from the pov of men even when they believe they're helping women. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 13/03/26 08:21 PM |
