3	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. I think this is my biggest gripe about this subject. Words are about communicating ideas and two people both need to work together to be understood. We clearly understand rape to mean sexual assault without consent. This is a pretty baseline definition that we both seem to agree on. Instead of using words we all colloquially agree and understand, there is a pile of obfuscation happening getting in the way of our ability to communicate and being used to push institutional power and maintain fundi…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	02/07/26 02:57 PM
4	Are these two sides of the same coin? What a wonderful top comment. I love this sub. This was most of what I wanted to say and then some and more eloquent than I'd have phrased it. I find both patriarchy and the matrix use more or less standard leftist language, but replacing the actual systemic power (class and wealth) with something else that twists it (identity based proletariat and bourgeois for feminism and just wanting to be a winner in the broken system for Tate). I don't think they share much other than a biased take on the …	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	31/01/23 05:42 PM
2	Does anyone here have experience with polyamory? Oh, wanted to expand- wife was meh on feminism. Gf was very into it, but the actually progressive and inclusive of men kind. As I was going through the divorce she would often say things about how unfair the courts were to me, and said a lot that could have been straight off the men's rights subreddit. There are decent feminists out there, they just have a lot of blinders on for things they don't deal with and don't know anyone who has personally dealt with. Once they do, they can change their w…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	12/01/23 07:17 PM
1	Does anyone here have experience with polyamory? I was in two different poly relationships, and they were VERY different. In one I was married and we opened up. I was on the road 2-3 months a year without my partner for work. I'd visit some long time friends that were slightly more than friends and I'd usually find someone to date while onsite with a client. My partner was very controlling of these relationships anytime they would start to get bigger. Then gaslight me that she wasn't controlling. She'd also decide the rules we agreed to were b…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	12/01/23 06:55 PM
3	Complex problems deserve complex answers Thanks, til	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	28/09/22 04:10 AM
2	Complex problems deserve complex answers I think that it just might get construed as anti trans dog whistle (especially given the lack of extra context). I definitely agree about the lack of male body positivity.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	27/09/22 05:12 PM
5	Complex problems deserve complex answers The body dismorphia inclusion seems like a strange one to me. Why was that included and not delved into more detail in later slides like the other complex issues?	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	27/09/22 04:58 PM
1	Intersectionality?? And as someone who has spent a good amount of time in the subject, this reading of the material is not related to the actual meat and potatoes of the idea. I would like your paraphrase of what the idea is because those quotes are not it. Intersectional just means that it affects at least two groups of people (generally both negatively).	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	23/04/22 01:07 AM
1	Intersectionality?? I think those readings are grasping at best. My understanding of intersectionality is that it emphasizes in group differences because of a shared experience with another group. I don't see how lived experience is in any way opposed to the scientific method. It's simply a different way of sharing anecdotal data. Intersectional in my understanding means that men in general have an intersection with black with men where we are oppressed by police. Sure, the black men have it worse. But there is an …	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	22/04/22 06:56 PM
9	Is there really a rape culture we're blind to? I'm pretty sure violently cutting off part of a sex organ is sexual assault. No idea why you're hung up on the word rape.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	30/09/21 06:30 PM
16	Is there really a rape culture we're blind to? Every man I've gotten comfortable enough to talk about it with has an unwanted sex story. It's only been in the last 2-3 years I've gotten to this space, and I suspect many more men suffer in silence because it's not comfortable for most people to talk about. I was comfortable talking about it with many women first, and so I heard their stories first. I really don't think this is a gendered issue. Maybe try talking to more men about it?	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	30/09/21 06:28 PM
3	Where do you stand economically? Went with Marxist because it was closest. Anarchist would be more accurate.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	25/07/21 07:20 PM
22	LWMA official statement regarding recent comments on MensLib That shit is why I mostly stopped even reading that sub. It was so blatant, and the mods refusing to let the community engage with the subject except a dedicated side post that barely got any traction was the most laughable way to address racism. It just resulted in them saying use the report button and we'll remove it. Yes after it has hundreds of upvotes and people already had their conversation, now we can remove it. It's worse than dog whistles and a half step away from gaslighting.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	21/07/21 06:55 PM
2	Antagonism and dismissiveness toward male sexuality - a look at a thread asking if it’s cruel for someone to expect their partner to use condoms for the rest of their life. Holy shit what? That's literally as ethical as you can be. How in the hell could that get any pushback, much less accusations of rape?	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	01/04/21 03:40 PM
6	I know this seems like an impossible task, but.... can we attempt to make a truce with the feminists subreddits? Yeah... Their super racist white man's burden burnt me out on that sub. I had some inkling of hope, but that mod team needs to be replaced. They let gender essentialism get spouted over there all the time too.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	09/03/21 08:20 PM
5	How incessant nagging is a form of domestic abuse I cried a bit reading this. I really wish my ex had this realization. I don't think I even realized this was happening until I started dating other people who didn't do this. I felt small and belittled all the time over the most trivial things, and it is so nice to not feel small or stupid for making a normal human mistake.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	02/03/21 10:50 PM
-6	"Suggesting equality will get you blocked, bigot!" Eh, I think most equality activists would be comfortable with the feminist label too. I think most MRAs would even fall under the dictionary definition of feminism I'm familiar with (equality of the sexes and for a long time that meant just advocating for women because they've been excluded). These days I'd expect true feminists to recognize that power is not as clearly defined as it used to be and in some cases outdated gender roles can be oppressive to both men and women. I hesitate to invoke …	/r/MensRights	14/09/19 12:33 AM
-1	...and all of the sudden, no one cares about “equal pay” anymore... Revenue has nothing to do with profits. Revenue is money brought in. This just means the women's team had larger operating expenses that exceeded the money they brought in.	/r/MensRights	31/07/19 08:46 PM
9	Feminists just don't get it... It's like people don't get the men getting the shaft in family court happens most in states you'd expect to be sexist against women. It comes from a place of ignorance, and almost all of the gendered things that are problematic have some level of intersectionality where the problem affects both genders- just in different ways. Feminism and men's rights go hand in fucking hand. I want equal treatment for all people. Men and women both get the shaft sometimes, and saying that they are both a probl…	/r/MensRights	11/06/19 09:25 PM
