| 27 | I keep hearing people say that "women and children" is a mythThey’re either excluding men from being worthy of empathy or saying women are like children. Or both, of course. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 18/10/23 02:06 AM |
| 22 | Does The "Patriarchy" Truly Exist?Patriarchy means an encoded rule by (esp. ‘paternalistic’) men. Our society does not have this. To feminists, Patriarchy is a name characterising society as one-sided in favour of men over women, and that oppressed women but not men. A simplistic, dogmatic picture with men at the top, with an oppression arrow down onto women. Their main focus for this is that more men reach senior positions in politics and business, regardless of the fact this is very, very far from a rule and without ever being… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 17/10/23 03:18 AM |
| 1 | In Early Modern Russia, Witches Were Men and Belief in Magic Was UniversalNo, England executed about 500 witches total over the centuries. Scotland, while smaller, was more into it and killed a few thousand - the king of England that was most obsessed, James I, was Scottish. And the highest concentration by far was in southern Germany, where even some smaller cities like Bamberg saw witch executions number in the thousands. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 12/10/23 10:11 PM |
| 2 | Does the general attitude to incels reflect the way our society views men?It’s a bit more specific though. A particular subculture that has spread online with its own self-identification, jargon (‘Chads’, ‘femoids’, ‘Stacies’, etc.) and focuses its misogyny on blaming women for not having sex with them. Misogynists can come in other varieties, without having to stretch the definition the way many feminists do. I don’t think Henry VIII or a certain 7th century leader were incels, but they were certainly misogynists. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 11/10/23 10:13 PM |
| 11 | A news on the front page of an Australian news paperI truly thought Australia was the most based and normal of all major Anglophone countries.

| 34 | When people say: "It's okay for a man to cry", what they unconsciously seek to add is: "so long as that man is not my Father, Brother, Son, Husband, or anyone remotely close to me."I’ve notice this is usually something that changes the moment it’s a man they’re attracted to. If it’s their boyfriend or husband there will often be actual anger (how dare you show any vulnerability/how dare you turn me off) - as though the man has done something deeply morally wrong - if they express the least wavering of confidence, let alone cry. This applies no matter how radical feminist and egalitarian they claim to be. Sadly, it requires introspection, and someone who joins a cult whose … | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 05/09/23 03:35 PM |
| 21 | Here's a way to intellectually challenge feminists, hey feminists how come the most negative of stereotypes to marginalized communities always apply strongest to the male counterparts?“[Members of ethnic group X] have a higher rate of violent crime and often target people like me, so when I see a group of them I cross over to the other side of the street”: racist. “Men have a higher rate of violent crime and often target people like me, so when I see a group of them I cross over to the other side of the street”: stunning and brave, this is other men’s problem to address, etc. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 01/09/23 05:58 PM |

| 5 | Double standards on the view of male victims of rape.Fair, but there are definitely misandrists who hate straight men more than gay men because they see them more as a ‘creepy threat’ who might show sexual interest in them, where they see gay men as more ‘enlightened’, ‘female-friendly’ and above all ‘safe’. I’m not denying that the combination you’re talking about is common, but there are plenty who are the other way around. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 29/08/23 09:50 PM |
| 2 | Double standards on the view of male victims of rape.I mean, misandrists who are themselves lesbian can probably compartmentalise an attribute they themselves have away from an attribute they don’t. They seem to be very enthusiastic about one and hate the other, at least the few I’ve met. By the same token, I don’t see why they’d go hand in hand in theory, except for a very broad feeling of ‘hate is hate’ - obviously bigotry of all sorts of wrong for the same basic reason, but there are obviously lots of different manifestations that don’t all go … | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 29/08/23 09:28 PM |
| 7 | Double standards on the view of male victims of rape.misandry and homophobia go hand in hand This sounds good as a general ‘hate one, hate them all’ sentiment but I’m not sure I quite buy this. There are lesbian misandrists who aren’t homophobic. They may hate gay men but because they’re men, not because they’re gay - and many actually hate straight men more. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 29/08/23 04:16 PM |
| 38 | Why is the issue of men not approaching women, always have to be negative?It’s amazing how even 80% of the most hardcore feminist of straight women refuse point blank to approach a man. Some do of course but even then usually their idea of approaching would usually be criticised as too wimpish the other way. Example of this in dating apps: after years of complaining about men saying ‘Hi’, when most do better than that, vs. what women do on Bumble (and of course this is the whole reason that exists). Speaking with female friends there really is a very deep psychologica… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 22/08/23 05:45 PM |
| 5 | The reason why men are treated badly: basic supply and demandThat’s very easy to say and probably the best route at a societal level, but it’s a massive sacrifice at an individual level that will lead to alienation and depression, except for those lucky few who have things ‘sorted’ already. It’s maybe not quite as extreme as ‘stop playing the corporate game and live in a field and hunt for berries’ but it’s a big one. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 11/08/23 08:14 PM |
| 1 | Article and sub comments gush over a poor female doctor who murdered her baby and committed suicide. Would male murderers of babies who commit suicide receive the same treatment - or is it that depressed women are considered weaker minded and unaccountable?Very interesting.

| 4 | "Violence against men is committed by other men". Ok, so what?The fundamental question isn’t about point scoring between the genders as a whole. It’s: if you are born a man or woman and behave decently, what are you up against in life and from society? The gender of the perpetrators then isn’t the point. If I’m getting shot or having my head bashed in by someone, I don’t think “Oh but it’s another man so that’s OK”. Otherwise, we’d be pointing to who perpetrated the most female infanticide, etc. There is also the thorny issue of race, at least in the U.S. … | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 10/08/23 08:10 AM |

And the idea it’s ‘for men too’ is ludicrous from the very name.

| 21 | Man is bad, man is bad, man is bad.It also implies that these negative traits are a ‘kind of masculinity’, rather than a kind of toxicity. Even ‘masculine toxicity’ might do more to imply the truth that there is also a ‘feminine toxicity’, which there most definitely is. ‘Toxic masculinity’ doesn’t make that clear. It might at least imply there’s a ‘non-toxic masculity’ - when men nod along and do whatever radical feminists say - but there’s nothing implying anything feminine can be toxic too, so all toxicity can be blamed on men… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 05/06/23 11:45 PM |

| 1 | How are men's rights viewed in scandinavian societies?Gay marriage being legalised in 2017 isn't exactly unusual. Political machinations can take time and most Western countries only did this over the course of the 2010s, the first in 2005, so that's a pretty short window (to very young folks: yes, it is).

But I still have a problem with this, as I explained in the ‘Frenchness’ example.

I’m not claiming anything like “Saying ‘adjective + noun’ implies you think all [nouns] are [adjective]!” That would indeed be circular. My logic isn’t circular. My point is that in cases of masculine manifestations of toxicity, it is not the masculinity itself that is toxic, even if there can be masculine variety of toxicity. Equating the way there are different sorts of toxicity to different sorts of masculinity itself presupposes a lot. Please re… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 25/04/23 10:54 PM |
| 20 | Masculinity is inherently pro-social, not toxic: Moving past hegemonic masculinity and into responsive masculinityI understand how adjectives work and I wouldn’t have a problem with ‘toxic man’. My point is it’s not the ‘masculinity’ itself that is toxic. There’s a key difference here. It’s like someone saying ‘That person is exhibiting evil Frenchness’ And then saying ‘Oh there are good kinds of Frenchness! See? Not racist!’ But even if the person in question was evil and happened to be in that group, and even if that manifested or expressed itself in a cultural way corresponding to that group, it’s not th… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 25/04/23 10:28 PM |
| 44 | Masculinity is inherently pro-social, not toxic: Moving past hegemonic masculinity and into responsive masculinityOn a less academic note, silly as it sounds it really bothers me that they refer to it as ‘toxic masculinity’ rather than ‘masculine toxicity’ - the former implies the masculinity is toxic or has toxic components, rather than that there are particular masculine and feminine strains of toxicity. And of course the denial of a feminine toxicity to go with it. Even more informally, there’s this. And not left wing but I found this hilarious. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 25/04/23 08:22 PM |

The rest of my comment is in fact exactly addressing the question of rigour and the fact we can’t actually know that particular comparison for sure (and yet we keep getting told bullshit pop ‘factoids’ like ‘childbirth is 3.2 times more painful’), but that we do have evidence that women find the same neutral pain experiment… | /r/AntiFeminists | 20/04/23 04:56 PM |
| 1 | Did Feminism Ruin Everything For Women? The truth is that feminism did not harm women, it wrecked men. (random article i came across)Re your first point, to claim it’s always for reasonable reasons is simply untrue, and I’m sick of this blithe assumption that women are all smart and all reasonable and saintly and never change their minds - so counterexamples can’t possibly even exist.

Women often want to have yet more babies. Only perverted guys have asked to be kicked hard in the balls even once. It’s very convenient … | /r/AntiFeminists | 17/04/23 06:24 AM |
