| 4 | NowThis somewhat disingenuously frames endometriosis as man vs woman by comparing it to male pattern baldnessYou are correct. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 22/06/26 11:05 AM |
| 5 | Why is SA and rape not so traumatizing for men as it is women?So you know how people from cultures where physical punishment for children is normalized act like their abuse as a child was no big deal? They’re still traumatized, and we have the data to back that, but it manifests differently based on how you’re socialized. Same goes for male SA and rape. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 10/05/26 12:50 PM |
| 5 | First Hormone-Free Male Birth Control Pill Shown Safe in Early Human TrialIt looks like that might actually change soon. It’s the only good thing that could come from RFK jr being head of HHS. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 03/05/26 02:29 PM |
| 7 | First Hormone-Free Male Birth Control Pill Shown Safe in Early Human TrialNot hormone free, but we’ve known how to make effective, reversible, male birth control for decades. Testosterone + a progestin is nearly as effective as female birth control with a similar or better side effect profile. The medications are already approved. Their effects have already been studied. You could take them right now if the healthcare system wanted to let you. Why aren’t they offered as an option? Assumptions about men’s priorities on contraception and, as always, profit. They say men… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 03/05/26 02:15 PM |

| -4 | Small penis insults are NOT used to ridicule actual insecure behaviourI disagree. I think it is intended to ridicule insecure behavior, BUT that doesn’t make it okay. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 04/02/26 01:53 PM |
| 4 | The Vanishing of Male Victims in the NISVS and Youth Endowment Fund SurveysI was taking a look at the methodology some more, and I found something I think might have played a role The rape and made to penetrate sections were restructured to provide more straightforward instructions and better clarity about the types of questions included. The question revisions also aimed to reduce repetitiveness and improve specificity about the perpetrator and behavior combinations. The alcohol/ drug-facilitated and physically forced items were presented at once rather than in separa… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 19/01/26 11:15 PM |
| 5 | The "If men got pregnant, you could get an abortion at an ATM" phraseI’d like to add something about male contraceptives. We have had the ability to make hormonal male contraception for decades. Seriously. There’s been studies using various forms of testosterone and progestins with solid efficacy and no worse side effects than female contraceptives. Some have slightly lower efficacy than female contraceptives, but that efficacy can be tested in the individuals taking it with just a semen analysis. This research has been going on since at least the 80s and have ha… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 01/01/26 04:04 PM |

| 2 | When talking about circumcision, focus on the physical damage and loss of nerve endings.Oh I totally misunderstood what you were saying. I thought you were comparing with intact cis men and trans women, like understanding of how much “just a little bit of skin” matters. We obviously can’t understand the experience of MGM. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 09/11/25 05:00 PM |
| 0 | When talking about circumcision, focus on the physical damage and loss of nerve endings.Trans men on testosterone can understand the physical damage in the same way as intact cis men can. On testosterone, the clitoris enlarges to be like a tiny penis, with the clitoral hood being the foreskin. They can probably understand more directly than a cut cis man on what is being lost when foreskin is removed. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 09/11/25 03:15 PM |
| 5 | When talking about circumcision, focus on the physical damage and loss of nerve endings.Consent is still the most important part. The physical damage is obviously important as to why that consent is necessary, but it’s a perfectly fine procedure if the patient is a consenting adult. We don’t ban things just for causing physical harm, otherwise tobacco and alcohol would be illegal. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 09/11/25 03:11 PM |
| 1 | California governor signs executive order to support boys and men and improve their mental healthDoing a good thing for PR doesn’t make it less of a good thing. If he gets the public response from this that he’s hoping for, maybe that’ll motivate him to actually prioritize men’s issues. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 01/08/25 12:41 PM |
| 1 | If the people on this sub are opposed to feminism, how do we solve mens' issues while also solving the issues affecting women?I’m not of the opinion that men are any more or less privileged (and I don’t think privilege is a good term in the context of gender, but that’s a whole other conversation), nor that it matters, but your anecdotes really mean nothing anyway. You haven’t been harassed on the street, but many other men have. There are also many women who have not experienced harassment. Men may have the “privilege” of having it be less likely to happen (10.9% vs 30.4%, NISVS), but men are not at all free from the … | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 03/07/25 05:26 PM |
| 1 | If the people on this sub are opposed to feminism, how do we solve mens' issues while also solving the issues affecting women?Are you able to point me to any sources on that? I’m not able to find anything saying you can’t register to vote without registering for selective service. Selective service is fucked up and it wouldn’t surprise me if it’s true, I’m just not able to find anything supporting this specifically. I can see losing the ability to vote depending on the state if you get a felony conviction for failing to register, but nothing before registering to vote. Side thought: gender discrimination in the crimina… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 03/07/25 05:07 PM |
| 2 | If the people on this sub are opposed to feminism, how do we solve mens' issues while also solving the issues affecting women?I don’t oppose feminism in the textbook definition of it being advancing gender equality for women. I am very much in support of that. I oppose the black and white thinking that women = oppressed and men = oppressors. We’re all oppressed by harmful gender roles and the oppressors are those who perpetuate them. I’m not sure where you’re from, but in the US a lot of people reference our recent election results as being the fault of men. Yes, a slight majority of men voted for Trump (~55%), but onl… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 03/07/25 12:46 PM |

| 3 | Any married men with kids here can share their insights into the pros and cons of family values in today's financial and sociological climate?30M, I’ve been with my wife 10 years, married for 3 of them, and have a 1.5 year old kid. We’re a pretty “traditional” household where I’m the breadwinner and she’s a stay at home mom. That’s not our “family values” or whatever, that’s just what we both want for our lives. A happy relationship is beneficial, an unhappy relationship is harmful. Marriage just amplifies that in either direction. IMO, marriage should be considered strictly on a cost/benefit basis, not an emotional one. Valuing marri… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 05/06/25 12:51 PM |

| -1 | Anyone else get pissed when people say "the bar is low for fathers" because of how BS it is?Thank you for such a mature and thought out response. Keep up the good work. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 26/05/25 12:29 AM |
| -1 | Anyone else get pissed when people say "the bar is low for fathers" because of how BS it is?That may be true if there’s no kids, the kid(s) are in school, or the kid(s) are old enough to mostly take care of themselves. Caring for an infant or toddler is no easier than being a wage slave. Caring for a young child is a full time job, and you don’t get to leave at the end of the day. You’re still on call 24/7. It doesn’t even come with a short term compensation of a paycheck. The payment for a week of being a stay at home parent is just that the child is still alive. It’s not just hanging… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 25/05/25 11:45 PM |

| 3 | Movember - Fundraising for men’s healthI think the partnership is tonedeaf and disrespectful, as it places the value of improving men’s mental health on how it can benefit women, but I don’t think it’s enough to outweigh the good the organization does. I think there’s also potential for the partnership to garner more public interest and funding from positive PR. I also believe that we need be careful with our image. People already think men’s advocacy = anti-women. Even though criticisms of the partnership are valid, pulling support … | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 03/11/24 06:45 PM |
| 0 | Is "Male-Dominated" a Misandrist Term?Sorry, I should have clarified I was coming from a US perspective. Female dominated is a well accepted term here. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 01/08/24 04:32 PM |
| 5 | Is "Male-Dominated" a Misandrist Term?Eh, I’d say it’s a stretch to say it’s misandrist since most people accept “female-dominated” as an acceptable term for fields like nursing or early childhood education. I think “predominantly male/female” would be a better alternative. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 01/08/24 03:02 PM |
| 0 | I fully, 100%, believe in a woman's right to choose. I also believe in a man's right to choose. Why is this a crazy take?Again, I said we need to reform the system. We aren’t limited to the two options of nobody has to pay child support vs everyone including rape victims have to pay child support. There’s a third option of those who consented to sex resulting in pregnancy and have the financial means pay child support. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 28/07/24 03:38 AM |
| -1 | I fully, 100%, believe in a woman's right to choose. I also believe in a man's right to choose. Why is this a crazy take?No man should have to do that to pay child support. That’s part of reform. If a man can’t pay, he doesn’t have to pay, and that’s where social welfare comes in to make sure the child is provided for. In what possible way does it give women permission to be rapists? I literally said “with the exception of if the father didn’t consent to sex.” | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 28/07/24 12:25 AM |
| -5 | I fully, 100%, believe in a woman's right to choose. I also believe in a man's right to choose. Why is this a crazy take?Women don’t have abortions because of bodily autonomy, they have the right to have abortions because of bodily autonomy. Financial reasons are reasons why they may choose to exercise that right. Women having children they can’t afford is a problem, and financial education is important, but I’m not seeing how “paper abortions” helps here. It would just exasperate the problem. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 27/07/24 11:26 PM |
| 4 | I fully, 100%, believe in a woman's right to choose. I also believe in a man's right to choose. Why is this a crazy take?Safe haven and adoption should be a decision of both parents. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 27/07/24 07:38 PM |
| -19 | I fully, 100%, believe in a woman's right to choose. I also believe in a man's right to choose. Why is this a crazy take?I’m going to get downvoted, but I strongly disagree. The right to an abortion is because of bodily autonomy, not because you shouldn’t have to support a child. The two things you’re referring to are not comparable, with the exception of if the father did not consent to sex. Child support is meant for the wellbeing of the child. A child requires resources whether you wanted a child or not. The child support system (at least in the US) is terribly flawed, but the solution is not eliminating it.

| 11 | The comics subreddit is having a bit of a reckoningu/afraid_to_try32 I’m a male survivor as well. Thank you for making this. I’ve gotten these types of comments too. Being told I must have liked it, that I cheated and just made an excuse, that I was actually the perpetrator, that it wasn’t rape because I wasn’t penetrated, that I shouldn’t be in a space for survivors because I’m a man, and so on. Those things have made me keep silent more often than not. I’m sorry you had to go through what you’ve experienced, and that people are cruel to you fo… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 11/07/24 05:12 PM |
| 3 | Do you ever worry about your employer penalising you for speaking up for men and boys’ issues?I personally believe that if something you post on social media is inflammatory enough that it could compromise employment, it’s probably not going to be the most effective way to produce change. If it’s something that most people would not find inflammatory, but you are penalized by your employer for it, you don’t want to be working there anyway. Also, is this something you are aware of actually happening, or is it just something theoretical that you’re worried could happen? | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 10/07/24 03:07 PM |
| 0 | Male advocacy beyond criticism of feminism and womenWe shouldn’t saying it if that pushes us away from the ultimate goal of getting it banned. Calling out hypocrisy often makes people less receptive. They interpret it as “you are wrong” rather than “this practice is wrong”. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 20/06/24 06:03 PM |
| -5 | Male advocacy beyond criticism of feminism and womenEh, it’s questionable on effectiveness. Logically, it should be but it doesn’t always play out that way. Comparing MGM to FGM often puts people on the defensive, trying to make excuses as to how MGM is “not as bad”. The focus gets pulled away from what matters. The point is that it’s wrong, regardless of which is “worse”. It would still be wrong if FGM didn’t exist, and it would still be wrong even if FGM was 1000 times worse. The hypocrisy is frustrating, but is it worth calling out if it pushe… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 20/06/24 05:59 PM |
| 0 | Male advocacy beyond criticism of feminism and womenWhile I agree with you on that, comparison to FGM could be considered to not be in line with #2 and #3 in OPs post. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 20/06/24 01:11 PM |
| 8 | Male advocacy beyond criticism of feminism and womenWell, practically none of them need to be criticism of feminism and women, but unfortunately a lot are just played out or interpreted in that way. I think the real answer is to continue tackling all men’s issues without bringing feminism or women into it. But for your specific question, I think these issues fit: - More men involved in early childhood education - Genital integrity (without comparisons to FGM) - Workplace deaths and injuries - Homelessness - Substance abuse | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 20/06/24 12:37 PM |
| 17 | My experiences with misandry being a Trans male victim of a woman.I don’t disclose that I’m trans except anonymously online, but when I have disclosed that I’m a trans male SA survivor, I always get the same two assumptions: 1. That my abuser was male, and 2. that it happened pre transition or at least not fully transitioned. Even if I specify that I was fully transitioned and post bottom surgery when it happened, people still think it happened “because I was assigned female at birth”. That’s not to say trans men who have been assaulted earlier in transition a… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 25/04/24 07:28 PM |
