I was raised as a feminist, believed in feminism and equality, and, if going by definition, still am one technically. I believe in equal rights for everyone, support progressive values, even changed my once strongly held religious views for it, and by far the wokest person in my circles, and probably also in my friends’, family’s, and colleagues’ circles as well. But where were my allies when I needed support, or when I faced inequality? No where. Too busy turning around to call you an … | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 23/06/26 11:52 PM |
| 10 | Leaving autism subs due to misandry...I don’t necessarily disagree, but you are disputing me over semantics, yes boys are conditioned by the patriarchy, but the patriarchy is misandrist. There is no contradiction. I am not mad at the “wrong thing”. I also do not believe girls with autism have “a walk in the park” either. The reason I wrote misandry over patriarchy is because the term patriarchy is frequently used misleadingly, eg. where you say it’s “an idea imposed by men under the patriarchy”, ie. a convenient excuse where you get… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 14/06/26 06:26 PM |
| 39 | Leaving autism subs due to misandry...I think I read a study somewhat recently that suggested that in young children autism presents in similar ways, but many boys learn it’s not socially acceptable for boys to behave that way, so “mask” by overcompensating. So essentially, you’re either conditioned by misandry to behave a certain way, then it’s claimed you’re privileged for being “coddled”, or, like me, you miss the memo and present with symptoms more traditionally female and get ignored, but are still called privileged regardless.… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 13/06/26 08:26 PM |
| 5 | Women's Complicity in Singapore's Gender Apartheid: Silence Itself is ConsentI can understand blaming it on the patriarchy in a sense – as in boys are treated one way to make them into strong men, girls treated another way because they are weak and fragile; ie. toxic gender stereotypes in a very conservative country. However, what people always fail to address is that “the patriarchy” is a system upheld by society, now it might have been possible in the past to make the argument that the majority of women once had no power in society, but that’s certainly not the case no… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 31/05/26 10:31 AM |

"Attacks On Women Surge In Social Media"; in actuality, pro-lifer rhetoric surges, but this is considered 'an attack on women', meanwhile, #killallmen, #itsallmen, and #ichoosebear isnt considered an attack on men.I can imagine suffragettes and the White Feather Movement saying “your body, my choice” when they publicly shamed men into dying in the trenches for them. That would be 100% be an attack on men, their body autonomy, and their rights. This kind of logic has existed in pretty much every war in history, even recently in Ukraine and Gaza.

| 6 | The line between toxic masculinity and anti racism is surprisingly blurry and confusing when it comes to violence.Another side of the disposability equation is not only are men expected to put themselves in harm's way, they're expected to be so ultra-competent that they can subdue another man without any risk of serious harm to them or going even a little too hard, if you fail that test you're also disposable. "Always protect everyone, never make a mistake, and don't expect any extra respect even if you do it." That's their ideal male behaviour, and it's borderline suicidal from a man's perspective.

Paper straws are worse for the environment than recycling the plastic, same as how “bags for life” are on average worse than reusing the normal bags, or how speed-bumps in the road kill 88 people for each 1 they save, it’s all an exercise in just being seen to be doing something but without actually doing anything.

Because what it really means is “confidence oligarchy” or “traditional male gender role reward culture” or “enforced toxic masculinity”. “Toxic masculinity” is another, its generally used to describe “men who are toxic” when they could use language that already exists - “internalised misandry”.

Statistically those with ASDs are going to struggle to fit in, and are likely to have high social anxiety and not read social situations well. Someone telling me to just “pretend to have confidence”, when I literally don’t know how, my brain doesn’t work that way, I can’t project a different version of self, might as well be telling me to “cheer up” with depression and anhedonia, or tell someone in a wheelchair to “pretend you can walk”.

| 24 | Incels exist because no one started social media campaigns for unconventional men. They were instead continuously ostracized and their insecurities made the butt of jokes.I remember a popular comment from a few months ago, made in good faith tbf and everything, but was incredibly out-of-touch: “There aren’t weird strings tied to it. She could leave, she doesn’t need your gender and social standing. She’s with you because she loves you, plain and simple. That’s a really happy thought. That’s progress, and it’s beautiful.” Amazing if true, but doesn’t really exist in current reality. Everything absolutely has strings attached and based on social standing, for every… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 19/06/22 12:02 AM |
| 9 | Dear Feminists- what do you do to help men? Signed, a Men's Rights ActivistI think the genital mutilation is the most concise example of this. Feminism stands to lose absolutely nothing by being against child mutilation of either sex, regardless of which is worse or which is most common, and yet they choose only to focus on one gender. Why is that if they help men too or if one isn’t superior to another? In the UK the Green Party is often campaigning to make misogyny a hate crime. Okay, why not make sexism a hate crime, why specify it? It would literally cost them noth… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 29/05/22 11:39 AM |
| 5 | My sister has gone off the deep end, what can I do?This is what frustrates me about people. Society is built to keep some people down, except all effort is made to make sure that everyone blames the wrong people in order to protect the ruling class. If you’re on the Right it’s: The poor, the immigrants, a minority race/religion. If you’re on the Left it is, rightly, unacceptable to scapegoat those groups but instead they blame it on the only one left: Men. Anything to avoid the elephant in the room. Take BLM. Intersection of race, gender and cla… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 01/05/22 11:52 AM |
| 18 | TERFs and the uncanny valley of feminismI suppose it’s a similar thing I thought about ages ago, in simplistic terms: Feminine woman - Supported by Feminism by virtue of femininity and being AFAB. Masculine/non-binary woman [and Transman] - Supported by Feminism by virtue of being AFAB despite benefiting from Patriarchy through masculinity. Masculine male - Benefits from Patriarchy, ie. confidence culture, conforming to expectations, etc. Feminine/non-binary male - Die in a ditch out of sight please. Transwoman - Feminist cognitive di… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 27/04/22 12:53 PM |
| 21 | "Male privilege" and "toxic masculinity" were identified as perpetuating negative stereotypes about men in a recent psychology textbook published by SpringerAs it’s been explained to me the premise of “toxic masculinity” is shorthand for “toxic expectations of what it means to be male” (I try to refer to it as “toxic gender expectations”). The problem is, is that it doesn’t sound like what it means - no one calls “toxic expectations of what it means to be female” “toxic femininity” it’s just called “misogyny” or “patriarchy” or “mansplaining”, so regardless of which way the bigotry flows the onus is being placed on men regardless of whether they are… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 02/04/22 11:08 PM |
| 1 | Male suicide is NOT caused by toxic masculinity! (With Studies)The thing is I think you’re both right. “Toxic behaviour towards [what’s expected of] men” is toxic masculinity, but I do also believe the term is deliberately misleading and loaded. A lot of the people who hold toxic masculinity ideals are women but the term doesn’t convey that easily, like if you have to overly explain the term every time you probably need a better one. Toxic femininity exists as well, it’s just no one calls it that, this is seen in such things as: assuming women are instincti… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 07/03/22 12:56 AM |
| 1 | I have experienced both sides of the gender spectrum as a Trans*MTF (AMA)Erm, yeah they do. Or rather everyone starts out developing towards female by default until the Y chromosome kicks in. Ever wonder why men have nipples? | /r/MensRights | 15/06/15 07:30 PM |
| 2 | If you're going to get a #meninist shirt/sweater printed...Also incidentally where 'werewolf' came from, so I guess the female equivalent would be 'wifewolf'? Wolf monsters always presumed male. TRIGGERED. | /r/MensRights | 03/05/15 10:39 AM |
| 1 | This Store Lets Women Pay 76 Cents To Every Man’s DollarI get that. It's just the only thing I stated as true was that women's products cost more which they do, I immediately go on to say that is because of economics rather than sexism (like you said). If the shop had been based around that I could understand it to an extent as all women have to pay a higher price because of the average women. I implied and now say that is still stupid as, like you say, the women could just buy the men's products if they are exactly the same as they claim. But then i… | /r/MensRights | 17/04/15 08:06 AM |
| 1 | This Store Lets Women Pay 76 Cents To Every Man’s DollarYeah or that. Not sure why I'm getting down voted though, was just trying to start an open discussion and I was still critical of it either way. Great first post >.> guess I'll go back to lurking. | /r/MensRights | 16/04/15 08:07 PM |
| -10 | This Store Lets Women Pay 76 Cents To Every Man’s DollarTo be fair women's products generally cost more than the mens, in examples such as razors or deodorant for instance, the product is the same apart from gender stereotyped packaging. I suppose it's priced more because women are willing to pay more so it's economics rather than 'patriarchy'. Either way if this shop was about that I could actually see the point they are making, but nope it's about bullshit pay gap statistics. Again. | /r/MensRights | 16/04/15 09:47 AM |
