1	Advice for coping with discrimination? That was exactly what I was referring to, so maybe they are a mind reader Or just able to make inferences from context clues	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	31/07/24 11:54 AM
-2	The Double Standards of Body Shaming Men You are backing the wrong side of this issue by saying "objectifying" women is bad and that doing the same to men should be seen the same. Trying to control and shame peoples' sexuality is wrong, and the change needs to happen in the exact reverse way you are advocating. Another thing is part of the reason expressing sexual attraction to women is taboo is because men are seen are inherently potential predators.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	07/01/23 09:05 PM
1	Meat, masculinity and bullshit This entire concept is based on the idea that the primary goal of men is to have sex with women. Which is not only a negative stereotype but just isn't accurate. And also, this kind of accusatory rhetoric has lead to many non-vegans to feel like vegans have a superiority complex, and they eat meat out of spite sometimes bc of it. I've had people genuinely get mad at me just for saying I'm vegan, even when they're the ones who asked me. This kind of rhetoric is sexist and not how you get people t…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	08/10/22 03:34 PM
2	Is It Misogyny or Projected Misandry? I didn't realize you were openly and unironically misogynistic. This is not at all the sub for that. I don't really feel like trying to bridge an ideological gap that wide rn. I'm here to discuss the path to equality with people who genuinely believe in equality between the sexes.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	04/10/22 09:58 PM
2	Is It Misogyny or Projected Misandry? You're really generalizing women here. Some women are misandristic for sure, but your phrasing is painting all of them like that. And you're really kind of shifting the blame of misogynistic men to women. I think a lot of misogny is not necessarily just a response to misandry. It often comes from institutions like religious ones and people who have bad experiences with women blaming the entire gender for it. But it also doesn't matter if they are misogynistic in response to misandry, that's not …	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	04/10/22 07:34 PM
11	Is It Misogyny or Projected Misandry? I'm kind of concerned about you mentioning thinking misogyny is often a response to misandry It sounds kind of like an excuse, and considering how often this exact same excuse is used to excuse misandry, I hoped posts on these sub would be better than that Yes, people respond to discrimination with discrimination towards the opposite group, but that's not an excuse that's just evidence of the cycle of bigotry and why downplaying it as deserved or punching up or whatever is BS	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	04/10/22 03:38 AM
2	what are your thoughts on people saying feminism benefits men? I think the most telling way I've heard this phrased is "The patriarchy hurts men too" It's a way of aknowledging that both men and women have significant issues, yet still advocating for only engaging in discussion about women's issues (or how men's issues relate to women's issues) The problem is that people who say these things usually either: A: Frame men's issues as side-effect of women's issues, and therefore give solutions that only considers the effect on women B: Frame men's issues as th…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	27/09/22 06:26 PM
2	On "Men are trash" I think you shouldn't dismiss the left in this way. Despite how the modern incarnation of it is, the left can still be genuinely egalitarian, while the basis of right wing ideology inherently creates discrimination and inequality. Even though the left has been hijacked by a capitalist idenity movement, there have been times when it was genuinely about equality and it still can be. That's why subs like this exist. Think about ppl like MLK who both talked about the black struggle while still advoc…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	27/09/22 06:07 PM
3	The "Shame" Narrative Regarding Male Victims A lot of times when I see a unique issue men face being acknowledged, the person saying it frames it at least as partially men's fault	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	27/09/22 05:54 PM
