The law covers that firearms, and a litany of other weapons such as shurikens and nunchaku are illegal to carry for a minor under 18, but guns are okay for anyone over 16 unless they are a modified shotgun or a short weapon which is easy to conceal. The part of the law that is confusing to many is that it mentions in one section that it is illegal for a minor to carry a weapon if it violates the parameters of a certain other section. That other section clarifies those stipu… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 14/11/21 01:59 AM |

| 14 | Ready and willing to catch some flak on this here, but the Kylr Rittenhouse situation disturbs me st how willingly and openly thr public and media can call for the scalp of a young man.A friend and I were talking about it and he pretty much told me to stop supporting Rittenhouse at all because "he murdered people." I asked him if he watched the video and he said no. For context, this friend is a rabid leftie. This whole event frankly made me examine my biases. People are beyond happy to cover their ears on this matter. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 13/11/21 11:18 PM |
| 9 | Ready and willing to catch some flak on this here, but the Kylr Rittenhouse situation disturbs me st how willingly and openly thr public and media can call for the scalp of a young man.There should have obviously been no rioting. Grosskreutz was concealing a gun, which he did not have a permit to do. He also admitted to faking a surrender. So no. I think Grosskreutz is objectively in the wrong. I think "being where you shouldn't be" is no justification to have people descend in on you. The drone footage also shows that Rosenbaum hid behind an SUV to ambush Rittenhouse while Ziminski threatened Rittenhouse with a gun.

| 1 | So now that Jame Bond is dead, do you think that a woman will play him and how do you feel about it?I would venture to say cynical writers who prise superficial descriptions of characters are probably the ones, aside from producers, who write characters this way. If you've seen Shang-Chi, Shang-Chi's sister is probably the most recent example of a character written to be "an inspiration" to girls. The movie takes time to really hammer down how amazing she is. She teaches herself Kung fu by just watching the boys train, but she teaches herself better. Once Shang-Chi runs away, she escapes on he… | /r/MensRights | 03/10/21 03:19 PM |
| 2 | So now that Jame Bond is dead, do you think that a woman will play him and how do you feel about it?The only problems with characters having their race or gender swapped is whether their race or gender was integral to their character in the first place or whether the new version is written in that obnoxious, smarmy "inclusive" way where they disparage the old version. It's freedom of speech. Someone has the property and wants to change x characteristic. I just personally don't like woke writing. I'm not sure I could explain it.

"You are right that it is not all men." Never even brought this up. When you say this, it feels like you are so used to dismissing the idea of men not wanting to be held accountable as a monolith out of hand that you don't even need to see someone say they aren't a bad man before saying "yes not all men but enough men."

It's hard to ask people not to make judgements about others for their safety but I agree that if we are encouraging someone to look out for their safety, it shouldn't be motivated by bigotry.

| 6 | Does anyone else find the feminist idea of sexual objectification to be too materialist?As soon as I noticed that when a man regards a woman it's objectification but when a woman can be as raunchy as she likes and it's all right, I checked out of this conversation. This idea of objectification and male gaze may be legitimate, but it's noticeable that as the LGBTQ movement became more and more pronounced, it lessened. I think that's because lesbians and bi women regard women in the same light and were tired of being chastised for their sexuality as well. | /r/MensRights | 24/09/21 06:37 PM |

But that AMA is a small sample of how I see the current state of main stream male advocacy. Nobody has the curiosity to look deeper on anything, it's just easier to hold men to task for their own suffering because in their mind men already cause everybody else's suffering.

This is an excerpt from an introduction textbook in my grad program. I wonder why men aren’t going to therapyI'd agree. It wasn't good rhetoric. It was during a pseudo argument after all. I still stand by it because this idea of "the world caters to you" may or may not be true but it just seems like a way to guilt me about others' problems. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 09/09/21 02:11 PM |

This is an excerpt from an introduction textbook in my grad program. I wonder why men aren’t going to therapyI had this discussion with somebody once. They told me that men are the default and then told me that they killed themselves far more often than women do because they don't seek therapy. I explained the number of times I attempted to get therapy and how probably many more people like me had trouble like that. If I am "the default" why can't I find therapy?

Basically no one on the right either cares enough to express that they are being brow beaten or its not effective on them. So this whole holier than thou, call you sexist/racist/some new ist, is hyper focused on the people that are already on the left leaning side... since they are the only ones who would care enough to be hurt by the accusations in the first place. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 21/07/21 08:07 PM |

Many conversations I've had on the topic have been framed as "men don't have to think about holding your keys between your knuckled/checking their back seat/ making a phone call while walking home alone" even though I have done a couple of those things to keep myself safe. When it comes to a lot of matters of safety and sexism I am fairly used to being brow beaten with what I do and don't have to fear for. It very much doesn't feel worth while … | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 04/07/21 12:10 PM |

| 1 | Is there a way that you can talk common sense into a feminist wanting all men dead?Oh Jesus... that's tricky. She arrived at her position through emotion, right? She has trauma? Maybe remind her that many men themselves may relate to her trauma. That she may (hopefully) have men in her life that care about her? Perhaps ask her what would change her mind about men? People in my experience tend to enter a thought pattern through a certain lane and won't really leave it unless they exit through the same lane. | /r/MensRights | 23/06/21 11:15 PM |
| 1 | Is there a way that you can talk common sense into a feminist wanting all men dead?I don't know that I'd bother either trying to keeping this person in your life. You can't make yourself miserable trying to sway someone who think their way into what they believe | /r/MensRights | 23/06/21 11:09 PM |
| 11 | A thought about male suicideIt is awful. The whole argument is unfair though. People are okay with making themselves the victim of everything. Every issue gets to be a women's issue. Of course people will see how a problem affects people who are, on paper, much like themselves. So yes. People will become emotional on the topic. Maybe even speak selfishly about it. It's hard to have your empathy goggles on 100% of the time. I do think men should be able to speak about suicide in a personal way. I never want to take away fro… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 23/06/21 02:07 PM |

Might take me a moment with my whole life thing going on. So I must confess that I was mistaken. Other suffragette leaders were involved in the BUF, Pankhurst, as far as I can follow, is not. Being a "forerunner" to the movement is not the same as being part of it and I was mistaken in believing so when I listened to the "Mother Was A Blackshirt" documentary and checked some other li… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 22/06/21 09:55 PM |

| 2 | Been dating a member of the friend group and wondered when the conversation on my stance on men's issues would come up.Yeah I didn't elucidate on the marketing's underlying message because I didn't feel it was too necessary. The implications are in the pitch that if you aren't a feminist you are clearly a shithead. And I do call it marketing because it is (in my eyes) like a foot in the door sales pitch. It's the same with donating to some cause or something. "Do you think children deserve support when they are in need?" "Yes." "Perfect. Hey, would you mind donating to children's aid?" What I mean is that you've… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 21/06/21 12:36 PM |

| 3 | Been dating a member of the friend group and wondered when the conversation on my stance on men's issues would come up.I'm reflecting on it a lot. I know the conversation will probably come up again. Most likely not wirh my partner but with my friend. So I'm rehearsing internally. I think I will pretty much say something along the lines of: "I'll just tell you what I believe: I believe everyone's problems should be heard and weighed. I believe everyone is worthy of respect until they prove otherwise and I believe everyone deserves fairness both in law and opportunities.

| 1 | Been dating a member of the friend group and wondered when the conversation on my stance on men's issues would come up.I get what you mean, and I just... kind of wonder where my friend went? We met a long time ago under very difficult circumstances. It was different then. I won't get unduly emotional but he was never a self hating man or an apologist. Either he was never out and proud with his opinions or he changed a lot. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 20/06/21 11:53 AM |

| 1 | Been dating a member of the friend group and wondered when the conversation on my stance on men's issues would come up.I know. But honestly it's hard to always be on guard. It has slipped. You're 100% correct. I have had my own parents tell me I was being awful for worrying about male suicide. Honestly glad she brought it up though. I'm not going to date someone who resents me for my sex. Would have rather ripped that bandaid off early. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 20/06/21 08:30 AM |

| 8 | Been dating a member of the friend group and wondered when the conversation on my stance on men's issues would come up.You're right. That was a balls-sucking thing to do and I'm trying to see it from the "he thinks his friend is a mysoginist and as a woman, his partner deserves to know" but.... yeah it sucks? Kind of sucks when someone you know gets so sucked into politics that your personal relationships start to get dicey. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 20/06/21 08:09 AM |
| 7 | Been dating a member of the friend group and wondered when the conversation on my stance on men's issues would come up.You definitely don't have to weave links, I'll take them raw, my friend. I appreciate what you're saying about tactful approaches. I am a person who doesn't really compute well when it comes to dissonance so for me that's as simple as it needs to be. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 20/06/21 07:24 AM |
| 19 | Been dating a member of the friend group and wondered when the conversation on my stance on men's issues would come up.Okay. Never been good at debate so sure. I was convinced by these people's personal stories. When feminists tell me they want equality but I can see prominent ones actively fighting against it, that's what personally got my wheels turning. But if I am unconvincing, all right. I just legitimately thought those stories were pretty simple indications of "but wait.... didn't feminists say they wanted equality?" | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 20/06/21 06:26 AM |
| 47 | Been dating a member of the friend group and wondered when the conversation on my stance on men's issues would come up.I think Erin Pizzey is especially telling because she objectively made life better for everyone, feminists or otherwise, but feminists turned on her specifically because she supported men. She also speaks about the funding and bias within feminist academia. If you point out tbe obvious bias and lies, rhetoric is secondary, isn't it? If you know a person is lying to you, who cares what their thesis is, in my eyes. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 20/06/21 06:15 AM |
| 5 | I wish I was wrongYeah it's tough when you already have to set good will pave the conversation with good faith knowing damn well they probably won't follow suit. I had a conversation like that talking about pink tax. I asked "well can you buy the male version of whatever product? Most of the time I mean?" And they conceded. I got greedy so I asked. "And car insurance. Men are charged much, much more for car insurance. Is that a problem too?" They asked me why that is.

| 10 | I wish I was wrongI'll check it out for sure, thank you! I just arrived at the idea of asking questions because... well... it seemed like people preferred to talk about how they feel about things rather than the actual problems themselves. It felt like just asking questions was getting them to do the leg work. I wasn't going to change anyone's mind. I think being a man ensured that. I'm too close to the issue we are talking about. People are sure I have a vested interest (I do.) They trust themselves more than th… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 09/06/21 08:20 AM |

| 53 | I wish I was wrongHope you're well, buddy. The part that surprises me most is that facts just seem to anger people. Confronting people with the facts when they state something that is untrue never seems to work, it gets people defensive. I've stopped even mentioning facts about men's problems and started just asking questions in return. "Why are men the majority of the homeless?" "If the problem with men is toxic masculinity, why do so many criminals come from fatherless homes? Wasn't there less masculinity aroun… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 09/06/21 07:21 AM |

| 9 | Curious to see which ways, as a male advocate, you'd talk about male issues with transgender people.I personally support trans people. I love my brother, who transitioned a few years ago. I can't and won't speak for others but any person is welcome in my sphere if they are willing to sit down and speak. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 30/05/21 02:59 AM |
| 2 | Question to you folks: How young were you when you were told it's always ladies' first or that you had to put your needs below a women's for being male?Probably 6 if I remember right. I remember getting into some sort of fight with a girl or something but what I remember more clearly was being told that women were to always be protected and sometimes a woman might lose her temper at you but it was your job as a man to be better than to lose your temper. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 29/05/21 06:51 AM |
| 14 | How other people are forced to bottle up their opinions.Yeah most people don't like being told they are somehow responsible for other people's wrong doings. Men apparently have so much agency that they can control other people's decisions and as such should be responsible for them. It's silly. One thing that really bothers me is the "Real Man" rhetoric. People don't usually frame the virtues of a Real Man (tm) for the benefit of those men themselves. They usually use the Real Man talk to shame you into doing something useful for them.

| 7 | What is Neoracism?That's absolutely true. I just think the venn diagram of Neoracists and Misandrists is pretty much a circle. You are correct. I will confess to mentioning that academia hates men as a means to keep it relevant, however loosely. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 23/05/21 05:53 AM |
| 2 | I came across this old comment talking about the feminist movement, patriarchy theory, and how reaching back to dictionary definitions is disingenuous at best.Hey somewhere in there Karen mentions that because of mandatory arrests in the 80s, men's arrests went up 37% and women's went up 447%. I can't find any sources, has anybody come across any? | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 15/05/21 12:30 PM |
