1	On male reproductive rights Just need to be clear, most women don't know they are pregnant very quickly, even without medical irregularities. The way pregnancy is counted medically is a little odd, they tend to go by the last day of the previous period. Except most women obviously aren't actually pregnant the minute their last period ended. They usually conceive later on. Women's periods can also naturally fluctuate. Things like increase in stress or even a change in diet/exercise routine can cause a change in periods, lea…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	22/09/25 04:19 AM
3	“Rape is not a women’s issue, it’s a men’s issue” What do we think of this? Although I don't know of direct evidence, there is some related research that indicates that it could be possible. As you may know, research shows that the illusionary truth effect is a thing. Where if someone hears a lie often enough, it will be believed by the individual who heard it. Some additional research indicates this effect can extend to influencing how someone sees themselves. The Monster study done in 1939 Iowa, has 22 children broken up into three groups. The study done to see if you…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	24/08/25 02:41 PM
-1	"Men are socialized to act like they need sex/see women as objects." That was literally the opposite of my upbringing. What was yours? Yea I don't think OP realizes that sentence is objectification in a nutshell. (Nor do most other people here apparently). The issue namely being treating relationships as transactional (Do A to get B) and that mindset is the built on the idea of using people and leading others on for personal gain. That isn't a healthy relationship. Nor does it encourage seeing someone as a full person. Good relationships are built on mutual respect, something the relationship lacks if your in it just to get som…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	18/08/25 08:08 PM
2	On the perception that the new Superman was weak/misandry Hey long time DC comics fan. This movie doesn't have anything cannon prior to its events you need to see. DC comics is rebooting it's movie universe with James Gunn at the helm. The Superman movie in theaters now is the first Superman related film in this rebooted DCU. Having said that if you want more Superman content I highly recommend: 1990s Superman The Animated Series TV show Reading Superman Smashes the Klan of the Fiery cross. An comic adaption of the early 1946 radio show drama of the sa…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	26/07/25 03:01 PM
7	Ted Lasso, Tim Walz, and the condescension of "positive masculinity" Yep, spoilers for Ted Lasso. At the end of season 1 Roy gets a serious knee injury and is forced to retire from playing football against his wishes. (Americans call it soccer.) Durring a exit interview with the press to announce his retirement he breaks down crying. Perfectly fine and ok to have a male character publically mourn his life. In season Two Keeley his GF at the time is caught masturbating to the video of him in that press conference. It's the lowest point in Roy's life at that moment…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	21/07/25 05:20 PM
16	Ted Lasso, Tim Walz, and the condescension of "positive masculinity" Ok, so I have seen every episode of Ted Lasso. Most of it twice because my parents enjoyed it and wanted to watch it with me after I already watched the series. I have lots of feelings and thoughts about this show. For starters i'd argue the show doesn't actually take mens emotions or needs seriously to begin with. Yes you get plenty of guys talking, but most of it is fairly unnatural especially in later seasons. It also completely fails to understand what makes a relationship healthy in many re…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	21/07/25 04:37 PM
24	There's something about consent that most people not talking about. Yep. There also has been some discussion on how the woman's name can't be published by Canadien law, she's only ever referred to as E.M. in the news. Meanwhile all 5 men repeatedly get their full names attached to this in news articles. Granted all of the men had to put their NHL hockey careers on hold because of this, making it too hard to hide anyway. It's a little surprising this went to criminal court. E.M. had already sued and got money from Hockey Canada over this in civil court before cri…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	03/07/25 03:30 PM
28	There's something about consent that most people not talking about. "What if you threatened her before starting the recording?" Where seeing this play out in the Canadien courts right now actually. Five men who were junior hockey players at the time had sex with a woman in a hotel room several years ago. They videotaped her verbally consenting twice, once before and once after the fact. Including in the second video she even calls the boys paranoid for making the recording, that all of it was consentual, and stating she was relatively sober. So many people are s…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	03/07/25 02:19 PM
10	I asked trans men about their thoughts on masculinity. They feel bad for teenage boys Another thing that is important to point out too is not all trans men experiance the same thing. Many of us do in fact have other complications cis men just don't need to deal with. In my case I became more emotionally expressive overall post TRT, not less. Processing emotions became easier, instead of listing to music to force myself to emote what I needed. I'm not the only one either. I think it's due to lack of self care, lack of confidence and emotional burnout that comes with living a lie p…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	23/06/25 08:32 PM
1	Anyone else get pissed when people say "the bar is low for fathers" because of how BS it is? I think it varies on personality too. Mentality and emotional needs can shift perspective and make something more or less difficult for one individual compared to a secondary person doing the same job or being a SAHP. For example one person may get touched out easily and that's going to make dealing with little kids harder because small children follow and touch the SAHP constantly, and therfore may mentally find working outside the home less emotionally draining overall for them. Meanwhile thei…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	24/05/25 03:59 PM
4	Dealing with transphobia and targeting despite me making it clear I’m an ally (scroll to see what I’m talking about). When talking about levels of violence it's hard to do because there are different types of violence enacted more often in some groups over others and to varying degrees. To be clear trans men are murdered as a result of transphobia like trans women are even if it isn't at the same rate. The 1999 movie "boys don't cry" is based on the rape and murder of a real trans man for example. Both are ruffly equally likely to be sexually assaulted & raped because they are trans. For trans men that often co…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	17/04/25 04:14 PM
7	No, feminism is not right-wing. The progressive left has a toxicity problem, and we have to face it to change it Despite there some differences between men and women's bodies genetically speaking, when progressives and feminists say there's no difference they aren't talking about bodies. They generally are refering to things like capability to participate in society, academic achievement, career ambitions, hobbies, personality traits and in many cases flaws. (Yes I have come across feminists who did hate the women are wonderful effect back when I was a teen over fifteen years ago.) The statement "Women are…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	14/04/25 03:25 PM
6	Boys to get anti-misogyny lessons as TV drama Adolescence hits home I think the response paragraph you quoted was being said sarcastically. I haven't seen the show but it doesn't sound like the example is a good one for any sort of mature exploration of gender politics. Although mysogony can hurt boys and men, by and large it's misandry that hits them harder. A lot of men are also tired of hearing the reasoning being mysogony because it often ignores the actual factors and rhetoric used against them. Why would people harm a entirely different class of people in …	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	24/03/25 02:48 PM
6	Anyone else horrified by these comments? There's also the fact boys are genetically predisposed to having colour blindness. Apparently the mutation for that is carried on the X chromosome. Girls get two X chromosomes so one cancels out the other if one of the two has the mutation usually. Boys aren't as lucky for obvious reasons. Granted colour blindness is such a small thing, but with how teachers colour code hand-outs or expect kids to colour code reading assignments it can have a disproportionate affect on boys in the classroom over…	/r/EverydayMisandry	14/03/25 03:07 PM
7	Please select the one that checks out with you (just taking a survey here to see the demographic of the sub) Just a word of advice, some will fall in multiple categories. E.g. a trans woman who likes women. Gender and sexuality are different and as a result you can get gay cis and trans men.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	07/03/25 05:53 PM
1	I need men for a study on queer gender presentation in different contexts! Is there a link for autistic queer men? You said "only fill out if your non-autistic/have no learning disability," yet say you need to compare autistic vs non-autistic/disabled men. I fall into the later category, and my queer cis boyfriend is diagnosed ADHD. Just wanted clarification to be able to help, thanks.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	11/02/25 06:27 PM
2	We have to be Anti-Red Pill the same way we are Anti-Racist He's highly upvoted and the second highest comment on this thread. A lot of us have come from feminist backgrounds, myself included. Feminism does promote a lot of good ideas, like consent, the value of self-worth, diversity being a strength, and socil constructs norms being damaging. They just need to be more consistently applied across all genders. I do have some critiques of mainstream feminism and so do many feminists too. The idea we need to copy aspects of early feminism does make a ton of…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	10/02/25 01:31 AM
6	Eating disorders in men are not taken seriously For anorexia, I would not be surprised if women face more social pressure to be thin, and the same reasoning would then apply Thing is I seen plenty of media targeted about men focused on being skinny/thin. Granted most media focuses on muscles for men, but there absolutely is tons of BS out there about losing body fat aimed at men. We just often don't talk about it. Anecdotal, but speaking as a trans man I hear just as much toxic rhetoric about cutting out carbs and weight now than I did Pre-tr…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	04/02/25 06:33 PM
9	The problematic 'Gen-Z men are turning conservative' narrative Weither something is equally bad or not is a moot point in my opinion. Something doesn't ned to be directly life or death to cause drastic negetive impacts. The entire class of Australian boys made to stand up and apologize for their gener for instance durring a school assembly teaches them they are not worth anything as a individual. Failing behind globally academically leads to worse financial outcomes, and there is bias there aside from a overt hatred of men. Bias often doesn't look like a wh…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	20/01/25 09:30 PM
2	Any other transsexual men on here? I want to know your thoughts about how feminism and the greater LGBTQ movement does or does NOT benefit FTMs. The difference between sex and gender can be kind of tricky. Another trans guy here. Not everyone who is trans does the full medical transition for a variety of reasons, and some people can have dysphoria about some aspects and not others. As a result you may find trans folk who just do HRT or some surgeries and not every affirming operation out there, while still needed some form of medical transition. Gender euphoria can come from a lot of things done to mask or alter our bodies. Trust me it h…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	30/12/24 03:40 PM
4	"Male-Dominated" Pink collar jobs also usually fair ressession better resulting in better job security. National Post has some Canadien info here.. Granted there are some mostly male fields like IT that are fairly ressession proof/resistant but you can see notable drops in male employment vs. women employment when looking at rate changes.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	23/12/24 12:28 AM
1	I'm sick of the trope "Mothers love their sons and raise their daughters" Research would suggest empathy is largely mindset based. A study on empathy and reading fictional books found that not only reading affected ones ability to display empathy, it was affected by engagement level. If a person was highly emotionally transported/invested into a work of fiction, their empathy increased. Those who were disinterested in the fictional works had their empathy skills decreased. Kind of makes sense. Empathy is more or less an ability to understand another person and their p…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	18/12/24 05:45 AM
3	How come every time it's a women's issues threads and you bring up the fact that it's an issue for everybody, you get spammed with hate? But when it's a men's issues thread they have no problem saying "Women face this too" and get hundreds of upvotes. Generally speaking most people don't want to be with a bad partner and that doesn't inherintly imply the partner in question is sexist. People break off relationships or take breaks from dating for awhile due to a variety of bad experiences with prior SOs. One ex of mine was bad at communication for example. He wasn't the least bit sexist, he just couldn't help building a dividing wall creating issues in the relationship. Some people just are shit at being a partner in a myriad of ways without b…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	14/12/24 06:52 AM
9	How do you guys tell people you're an MRA/male advocate? I do not believe you need to make it a "coming out" experience. You don't even need to use a label of any sort. Advocating for men's rights can simply be having a conversation when the opportunity presents itself. The act is more important than the label. This is how I approach things. I rarely if ever announce it or put the label on myself unless it's pertinent. I find tailoring your language to the audience really does do a lot for engagement and responsiveness. Equality for all is the ultimat…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	04/12/24 02:01 AM
1	Guys i seriously need some feedback because i feel i'm going crazy, thanks. Something to keep in mind too I noticed a lot of men struggle with, is people and often women in particular vent with a desire for emotional validation and almost nothing else. As a by-product when people say "You're over-reacting" they get the exact opposite response of what they were looking for and it pisses them off because they feel isolated and rejected. Men tend to on the other hand be more goal-oriented and as a result miss the point of just being hyperbolic and verbally spewing words to…	/r/MenSupportMen	02/12/24 12:52 AM
13	I used to starve myself Lots of heterosexual women also even prefer smaller sizes. Spend enough time listening to women and a good number of them will admit to finding overly large partners uncomfortable or difficult to handle size wise. Penis size doesn't matter as much as technique and how mindful you are.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	02/12/24 12:07 AM
0	Disparities in what are construed 'attacks on" people by gender. "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. Ok, you need to learn about what anti-abortion policy actually does to many women's bodies. Abortion isn't just about cutting out an unwanted fetus. Many abortions are done on pregnancies where the couple wanted to have kids, including the mom. Part of miscarriage care can in fact include abortion services in order to preserve the life and well being of the mother from bleeding out. Many woman get what's called endotopoc pregnancies, where the fetus attaches itself outside the uterus. This cause…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	13/11/24 04:24 AM
2	Watching Michelle Obama's speech to men made me realise that no other minorities besides women truly matter to Democrats. (and possibly everyone else) My gym has flat screen TVs all over the place. They show various 24/7 news channels on them. One was NPR who was saying she has decent ground with black male voters. According to the article she claims she has no issue with black male voters and the issues is a matter of media perception, and highlights a few campaign stops she made spesifically to court male black voters. Bloomberg also has a article claiming Harris is also promising to help close the racial wage gap between black and white wor…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	04/11/24 04:10 AM
8	Obama's comment towards black men - is it misogyny or is it really misandry (assuming Harris is getting fewer votes because male voters are sexist) Also, talking with a trans man, I have been told he feels somewhat pressured or pushed into a position of power at his workplace now, expected to be a leader. I'm sure this would have happened at some point in history This is actually something covered in my gender studies class in college! The term my prof used was "Glass Escalator". Most feminist literature will define Glass Escalator as the effect of men entering female dominated spaces and becoming over-represented at the top most level of t…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	16/10/24 08:58 PM
8	My very recent experience with Feminism as a "former male" (MtF, Trans) Another trans guy here. I still identify as a intersectional feminist, but being trans has absolutely shifted how I know gender and understand feminism further away from more mainline ideas. Primarily why I hold onto the label is because I do agree with the core idea that how much privilege or social barriers you face as a person in life is affected by the identites you have. I also believe a level of privileges/disadvantages someone currently holds can shift depending on the specifics of a situ…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	15/10/24 11:36 PM
1	Why women get equal pay if they don't generate equal revenue ? In 2020 "gender equality" is more like female privilege and supremacy. Agreed for the most part. in this case I don't think there is a issue with the women's league getting paid as much as the men's. They are likely putting in the same hours and same work that the guys are. Another hiccup in particular in this case is that men's football is more popular because it's often treated as default. So it's the go to for most people because of that aditude. I don't think people really looks at sports and sees women teams the same way as male leagues. It's really not the wo…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	13/09/20 07:18 AM
