–	Men who are slayers use red pill tactics (even without knowing Bout TRP) I’m not going to defend TRP (I agree that it seems mostly like complaining, rather than acting), but have you ever swore or winced or complained during a hard workout? Complaining and active self-improvement are not mutually exclusive.	/r/PurplePillDebate	09/10/23 02:53 AM
2	Weight stigma affects men just as much, including skinny and obese men, and many men suffer body image/eating disorders. All a woman has to do is be thin, a state with requires ZERO effort (literally can be accomplished entirely with portion control). No exercise required. Nothing beyond a woman’s control. Men have to be a healthy weight (which is a good thing to be!), meaning not too thin or too large, and preferably need muscles which can only be gained by substantial, long-term effort. A man cannot be too short, and is massively penalised for something he literally had no control over. I like being in shape, an…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	19/02/23 09:15 AM
11	Analysing feminist rhetoric: The hypocrisy of the "patriarchy that hurts men too." I have never met a woman in my life, progressive or conservative, who would support any organised effort aimed at expressly benefitting men. I don’t expect I ever will. In my highly competitive field women make up a majority of successful candidates, making up some 60% of the profession, and yet are still given preferential treatment (a self-reinforcing process). If we were to restrict data to younger members, let’s say under 40, I suspect the ratio of women to men would be even higher….70% or m…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	19/02/23 09:09 AM
7	A growing number of men are undergoing a radical and expensive surgery to grow anywhere from three to six inches. The catch: It requires having both your femurs broken. GQ goes inside the booming world of leg lengthening. That’s because you’re around 6ft. If you knew what dating was like at 5’8” or below you’d change your tune…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	19/11/22 07:24 PM
4	A growing number of men are undergoing a radical and expensive surgery to grow anywhere from three to six inches. The catch: It requires having both your femurs broken. GQ goes inside the booming world of leg lengthening. I grew up in a short part of the world and was broadly “normal” sized. I then moved to a tall part of the world where I’m tiny. It’s awful. Do not recommend. (Neither do I recommend becoming RoboCop or any other “body augmentation”)	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	19/11/22 07:23 PM
1	1 in 6 Hiring Managers Have Been Told to Stop Hiring White Men Capitalists care a lot less about raw profit than you might think. Fundamentally they are no different from previous elites. What matters more than anything is group inclusion. It is better to have 10 million dollars and be welcome in high society than to have 15 million and be a pariah (or even questionable). Corporations are run by individuals, conscious of their individual place in elite social circles. At the end of the day it’s really not so different from the 18th century. The elite were a…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	13/11/22 06:05 PM
5	1 in 6 Hiring Managers Have Been Told to Stop Hiring White Men Exactly. The fact that 1 in 6 admit it is STAGGERING.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	13/11/22 06:02 PM
3	On the failed feminist colonisation of traditionally “male” geek spaces I, too, never saw the Rise of Skywalker, and I never plan on watching it. TLJ killed (literally and figuratively) my favourite character. I was always imagining myself as Luke; a young, backwater kid dreaming of a bigger world. To be treated as he was in TLJ is simply unforgivable.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	13/11/22 05:45 PM
1	On the failed feminist colonisation of traditionally “male” geek spaces I don’t see how you could write this without starting with Gamergate. Gamers took the first wave, and we were quickly overrun.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	13/11/22 05:34 PM
3	Finding validation in positive masculinity as a young transguy How old are you? It sounds like you’re VERY young. All I can say is keep doing what you’re doing: be brave and chart your own path. There are a million ways to be a good “man”, and you’ll find one (or several). There have been studies on physical affection among chimpanzees which found that successful alpha males tend to be much more affectionate than the median male chimp. Part of “being a man” (or just being an adult, really) is taking care of others. It can be subtle, but is a critical part o…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	06/11/22 12:39 PM
-3	what should we do for Incels? The vast majority of males (90%?) spend significant periods of their life as “incels”. We don’t need to do anything for “them”, because they are us. Nothing we can do, because human mating patterns seem relatively hard coded (and are in line with patterns in other great apes). Just tell men to take responsibility for themselves and don’t give up. Not much more to it, sadly.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	26/10/22 04:15 AM
1	Is the dismissal of misandry for not being "systemic" systemic in itself? This is an interesting thought, but I’m not sure it maps. The problem is that most people, feminist or not, don’t recognise misandry at all. In any circumstance. The leap to “systemic” is not even in the same solar system. I think the problem is way more foundational than the OP things (although he recognises a major hurdle for the future).	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	17/10/22 11:29 AM
11	weird spot politically Case in point: I’m in a woman-dominated field in which women still get preferential hiring. It was never about ‘equality’.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	17/10/22 07:27 AM
17	weird spot politically This is because the vast majority of the “voices” on the left (and, indeed, in all political organisations of any size) come from extremely privileged people with substantial wealth and elite educations. Of course their leftism is abstract and obtuse, because the real deal would threaten their REAL privilege. Hence the deflection to vague idpol.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	16/10/22 10:47 PM
32	weird spot politically We’re all in the same weird spot politically….that’s why we’re here! Any way I’m skeptical of “equity”. I don’t see how that can mean anything other than “discrimination”.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	16/10/22 10:44 PM
4	After years of having to have conversations with feminists and understand their perspectives - I have given up. The Oxbridge comment doesn’t surprise me. The more elite the institution the more uniformly (and incuriously) woke people tend to be. We can’t win. All we can do is survive. Here’s hoping you survive.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	10/10/22 09:34 PM
5	Mandated diversity statements in academia & male advocacy In my experience at universities the more women are in power the more rules start cropping up. Everything trends towards conformity and regulation (“professionalisation”). This has some benefits, of course, but it stifles the real, vibrant, idiosyncratic aspects of university life that really drew me in two decades ago. It might make the university slightly safer or slightly more efficient, but it does so at the expense of the magic. What a horrible price to pay….	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	08/10/22 09:29 AM
2	What can be done to help solve the under/desexualization, sexlessness, loneliness, etc. of so many men? Saying it’s impossible to change an aspect of human behavior is kind of against left wing ideals. I disagree. In fact, I wouldn't say there is anything particularly 'left wing' about trying to change human nature. Most left wing policies are about either trying to channel that nature more effectively/less catastrophically, or at the very least mitigating the inevitable damage done by people because of their nature.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	02/09/22 09:25 PM
0	What can be done to help solve the under/desexualization, sexlessness, loneliness, etc. of so many men? I don’t think that’s possible. Male expendability is hard-coded into us as a species. A tribe with ten men and 40 women will survive. A tribe with 10 women and 40 men is on the fast track for extinction. Trying to rewire our biology is pointless. The only option is to try ti regulate the effects of our biology (encouraging the positive and trying to offset the negative).	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	02/09/22 06:40 PM
6	What can be done to help solve the under/desexualization, sexlessness, loneliness, etc. of so many men? To some extent young men, in particular, have always, and will always, face these challenges. It is part of the (expendable) role men play. You can’t change that, but you can change how men cope. You can encourage healthy responses (exercise, study, pursuit of excellence in some field or other), rather than destructive ones (excessive intoxication, being too online, etc.).	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	02/09/22 11:15 AM
2	Well-being of incels: an interesting paper I would say much higher rates of polygamy than you think, and also women cycle through being single way faster. They can always CHOOSE when to get off the treadmill….men can’t. The agency of it makes it vastly more bearable.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	30/08/22 01:42 PM
1	Well-being of incels: an interesting paper The median real income graph is cute. Let’s do that the same for median family expenses and see how things map! (Anyone who thinks things are generally getting “better” economically is out of their mind….)	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	30/08/22 01:39 PM
9	Feminists hate lonely men the same way conservatives hate poor people Virtually every conservative policy imaginable….?	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	30/08/22 01:34 PM
4	Feminists hate lonely men the same way conservatives hate poor people Pay is not determined by “social importance”….and never has been.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	30/08/22 12:18 PM
4	Patriarchy Brevity is the soul of wit.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	13/08/22 11:08 AM
1	Theories of Patriarchy. What feminists often get wrong. Agreed. “Oppression” is far too strong a term.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	13/08/22 09:23 AM
12	Opinions on war and pacifism Far too inflexible. Real world international relations are far too complicated for such a restriction to work well over the long term. It completely destroys deterrence.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	18/07/22 03:18 PM
1	Why be on the Left when modern leftism is a virulently anti-male movement? People should have healthcare regardless of their political or social beliefs. No one should go hungry, or lack shelter, etc. for their ideas or their in capabilities. That’s why I’m a socialist. Misandry doesn’t change any of that.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	17/07/22 08:58 AM
3	"Incel Shaming" is just virgin shaming with a new coat of paint Thank you! I can't be the only one that has noticed how fashionable it has become (again!) to lash out at nerdy men. "Incel"..."man child"...."neckbeard"..."basement dweller". It's like an 80s high school flick all over again, but without the basic intelligence to be self-conscious about it all. People are totally unaware of who or what they're abusing with these sorts of terms...	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	04/04/22 01:06 PM
1	The discourse surrounding incels is extremely overblown and hilarious. I’ve never understood this belief that incels feel “entitled”. What nonsense! Having the totally normal human desire for love and sex is not ‘being entitled’. EVERYONE feels this way, it’s just that most people don’t express their feelings and frustrations in public. That’s the principal difference (and, of course, incels are fine expressing things in public because they’ve effectively lost hope).	/r/PurplePillDebate	15/02/22 09:45 AM
