| 3 | Apparently 1 in 3 women are attacked by men according to this.My childhood experiences are pretty bad sure but not the same. There are degrees of sexual assault of course. However as an adult, I worked a minimum wage job and two women thought it would be funny to squeeze my ass when I was working the cash register because it made me jump and embarrassed me in front of the customers. I complained to my boss and he suggested it was my fault and did nothing. So, you're right, my childhood experience was different but the workplace harassment experience I had … | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 06/05/24 06:22 PM |
| 3 | Apparently 1 in 3 women are attacked by men according to this.I am trying to ensure that a specific commenter realizes that he was sexually assaulted by a woman when he may not be making that connection himself. Why? Our culture continually reinforces a gender-binary oppressor\oppressed dynamic onto sexual assault which silences male victims and protects female perpetrators. (Women good, men bad.) When I was a young child, I was sexually assaulted by an older girl violently enough that I disassociated. Only when I was older did I make the connection that I… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 06/05/24 05:45 PM |
| 3 | Apparently 1 in 3 women are attacked by men according to this.Okay, Identity isn't really germane beyond just being a human being; man, woman, trans, cis, gender-fluid, it's the same: Non-consensual ass-grabbing is sexual assault and it's illegal. Men need to be more educated about their consent so in that sense, there is some identity in play. I don't find your position persuasive and I can see that you're kinda going in your own direction regardless of what I say. I think that's probably as much utility as we're going to get out of this interaction. That… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 05/05/24 03:53 AM |
| 2 | Apparently 1 in 3 women are attacked by men according to this.Okay, but... what? Your take doesn't really make sense outside of maybe a classroom teaching sophistry. I mean, you can have your opinion but unless you can somehow change the written law, you're not going to escape reality. Like, it's literally regulated. If you want to change the law, you'll need to get off reddit, win an election for a legislature, write a bill, and get it passed. Until you do that, non-consensual ass grabbing is still illegal and it's sexual battery. The place we can make a … | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 05/05/24 03:17 AM |
| 5 | Apparently 1 in 3 women are attacked by men according to this.Sorry buddy but you are way off base. Fortunately, we do have objective standards for defining unwanted groping both legally and from rape crisis centers. "What is sexual assault? The term sexual assault refers to sexual contact or behavior that occurs without explicit consent of the victim. Some forms of sexual assault include: Attempted rape Fondling or unwanted sexual touching Forcing a victim to perform sexual acts, such as oral sex or penetrating the perpetrator’s body Penetration of the vi… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 05/05/24 02:04 AM |
| 39 | Apparently 1 in 3 women are attacked by men according to this.I just want to make it clear, because men aren't usually educated about their own right to consent and bodily autonomy, that you were sexually assaulted. Men often don't apply the normal standard of consent to their own bodies, but when you walk them through it, they often realize that their consent has been repeatedly violated over the course of their lives and nobody cared. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 04/05/24 11:42 PM |
| 6 | I'm tired of being viewed as a weaponYou're speaking some real truth there. I think there's so much going on with your insight about the intersection of race and masculinity. In order to be perceived as safe, men of color need to artificially perform as less masculine. I think that challenges us to ask some tough questions. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 03/05/24 04:57 PM |
| 30 | I'm tired of being viewed as a weaponThat's kinda the point I think. Being coerced into predator objectification by the people around you carries a real cost not just in mental health but also in lives. Men of color know that being an object of fear is dangerous. The bear vs. man discussion wants to ignore that cost. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 03/05/24 01:56 PM |
| 19 | Man Bear MegathreadAnd there you go again with the hate speech which no progressive who legitimately wanted to help people would ever engage in. If you wanted to help human beings rather than it being something performative, you wouldn't use 'queer' as a slur. I helped nurse my gay step-dad through dementia and, finally, his death. He was queer and tender and a kinder braver man than you're being right now. He was a model of what masculinity could be. I've comforted and held the hand of a crying trans-girl and tal… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 03/05/24 12:56 PM |
| 55 | I'm tired of being viewed as a weaponI call this predator objectification and I've been dealing with it my whole life. I've recently realized it'll never go away. Consider reading the short essay Just Walk on By: Black Men in Public Spaces by Brent Staples. It'll hit you like a lightning bolt. (Google the author, title, plus 'PDF' and you'll find it.) Give yourself permission to be a good person regardless of how other people try to objectify you. Try watching an episode of Queer Eye for the Straight Guy for an example of how progr… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 03/05/24 05:50 AM |
| 66 | Man Bear MegathreadWhen you use a PTSD response as a gendered insult, you're not really a progressive. You're just another person with an Us versus Them ideology and anything goes when you're attacking the other. Like, if you think you're trying to do something good for progressive causes, you need to take a look in the mirror and think about what you're doing, how you're doing it, and why you think that's okay. I do have PTSD triggers and I think this is just plain cruel. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 03/05/24 04:40 AM |
| 8 | Does anyone have any good recommendations for assessing rates of suicidality amongst short men?Let me restate this and I apologize in advance if I'm making it too simple. I didn't crank any math on this but if I get some time I can try to give you some numbers that help put the findings into perspective. The science is really strong because the number of data points is massive. They looked at over 1,000,000 guys for data. From that big number of guys they found about 17,000 who had attempted suicide. In that group, there were some common symptoms for the men who attempted suicide: Poor as… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 26/04/24 07:59 PM |
| 6 | Does anyone have any good recommendations for assessing rates of suicidality amongst short men?There are studies which I am linking for you: Physical stature and method-specific attempted suicide: cohort study of one million men Strong inverse association between height and suicide in a large cohort of Swedish men: evidence of early life origins of suicidal behavior? Key findings: "In age-adjusted analyses, the tallest men had a 40% (37%, 43%) reduction in hazard when compared to the shortest men and a SD increase in height was associated with a 16% (15%, 18%) decrease in risk of attempte… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 26/04/24 03:27 PM |
| 4 | My experiences with misandry being a Trans male victim of a woman.I said I would get back to you tonight and I can see that this community has, in essence, wrapped you in a warm blanket of support. You need that, you deserve it, and many of the people here have the same kind of experiences. There may be nothing which is more part of traditional masculinity than to have your trauma ignored, belittled, or dismissed by the people around you. I want to congratulate you on your transition, welcome you to the brotherhood, and to also express my sympathy at the terri… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 26/04/24 03:57 AM |
| 8 | My experiences with misandry being a Trans male victim of a woman.I see you buddy and we share many of the same experiences. I want to affirm that you have innate value and that your experiences and your trauma are valid. I'm at work on my phone right now but I'll reply again tonight. You're not alone in this. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 25/04/24 04:29 PM |
| -2 | The Biden Administration releases the New Title IX Regulations Cutting Back on Due Process for Students Accused of MisconductI think that your conflation of feminism\feminsts with evil as a first principle means that we're left with no further space to find common ground. I can certainly point to toxic feminists and toxic feminism but your take is so absolute that you're impervious to any counterargument that some of these people legitimately want to help men. Real change is made by coalitions of imperfect allies but your purity requirements appear self-designed to completely isolate you and, ultimately, will prevent … | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 20/04/24 03:18 AM |
| -4 | The Biden Administration releases the New Title IX Regulations Cutting Back on Due Process for Students Accused of MisconductNo, it isn't. Some people like bell hooks and some people don't. She talks about men's issues seriously but, you do you honey-boo. You don't like her, that's fine. She's a far sight better than most though. As per Stemple, you're way off base. You're selectively quoting to create something like outrage porn and male victims of sexual assault deserve better than the low-effort stuff you're pushing. Go read "Male Rape and Human Rights". Read all of it. Link: http://scienceblogs.de/geograffitico/wp… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 19/04/24 09:50 PM |
| 1 | The Biden Administration releases the New Title IX Regulations Cutting Back on Due Process for Students Accused of MisconductYou saying this and thinking it's an argument tells the reader a story and it probably isn't the narrative you think it is. When you combine that with your post history, the story becomes very clear. From me to you, I want to encourage you to set aside this magical tribal thinking which equates your ideological identity with "truth" or morality. If you can step away from that into an evidence-based space, accept that the people telling you this stuff are victimizing you and taking advantage of y… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 19/04/24 08:19 PM |
| 9 | The Biden Administration releases the New Title IX Regulations Cutting Back on Due Process for Students Accused of MisconductThe "left" and "Feminism" aren't homogeneous products like butter or hotdogs. When you slice butter, it's butter all the way through. Progressives aren't like butter. Both the left and feminism are, frankly, a hot mess. Neither of these are a coherent or self-consistent ideology but instead a continuous vigorous argument happening in real time. You won't need to look far in the broader left or Feminism to find toxic left-wing examples or toxic feminists. However, that's not how I roll. If you wa… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 19/04/24 05:15 PM |
| 31 | The Biden Administration releases the New Title IX Regulations Cutting Back on Due Process for Students Accused of MisconductTrump is to men's issues what a psychic healer is to people with cancer. He claims he is the solution but if you trust him with your health and well-being, he will kill you. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 19/04/24 04:54 PM |
| 8 | The Biden Administration releases the New Title IX Regulations Cutting Back on Due Process for Students Accused of MisconductIf that's your argument, why bother with a group literally named left-wing male advocates? I mean... the name of the group kinda implies a sort of shared philosophy I would think. Donald Trump is, to me, an example of an unhealthy masculinity created from neglect, emotional abuse, and a life without consequences. He's wildly insecure and is driven by a continous need for external validation so consuming he'll destroy anything standing between him and the ego supports he needs. He is a prime exam… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 19/04/24 03:55 PM |
| 8 | The Biden Administration releases the New Title IX Regulations Cutting Back on Due Process for Students Accused of MisconductI'm not sure you can simultaneously be left wing while also hoping that an authoritarian with dictator vibes wins the election. These two things aren't compatible. Maybe we can advocate for men and boys withing handing power to a Mussolini wanna-be? Just a thought. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 19/04/24 03:32 PM |
| 2 | Biden Proposed the Opposite of Equality for Men's Health SupportUniversal preschool is probably the most important thing we can do for the next generation of men and boys and it will vastly improve life outcomes and access to higher education. I'm about to drop a lot of data and some opinions... HOW DID WE GET HERE? When George W. Bush passed the "No Child Left Behind" bill (NCLB) it put financial teeth into the education system. Federal funding meant monetary consequences which meant that underperforming schools and teachers would face corrective action. In… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 09/03/24 07:20 PM |
| 5 | Biden Proposed the Opposite of Equality for Men's Health SupportIf you're interested in male survivors of sexual assault as an issue, you should look at the work of Dr. Lara Stemple. She is a feminist and human rights specialist who advocates for men as victims of sexual violence, harassment, and coercion. One of the things she has to do on a fairly regular basis is persuade other feminists that extending empathy and support to men who are victims is not a zero sum game. Paraphrasing her, "Empathy is not a finite resource." To us this seems obvious but comin… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 09/03/24 12:40 AM |
| 2 | Biden Proposed the Opposite of Equality for Men's Health SupportCurrently almost 2 out of 3 college students are women and that creates a significant crisis for men that is very real. That's a serious issue for men and boys. All of the items I listed are critical to men's well-being and are going to disproportionately help men regarding either income or in obtaining equity in education. I'm not exactly sure what car you're chasing with this bit of exclusivity pedantry, but I'm not interested in tearing others down. I'm interested in solving real problems and… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 08/03/24 10:40 PM |
| 26 | Biden Proposed the Opposite of Equality for Men's Health SupportThere were at least 3 things in the state of the union that are coded issues for men and boys. Union manufacturing jobs that do not require a college degree. Reading programs disproportionately benefits boys. Universal preschool disproportionately benefits boys and the results are so impactful that it predicts home ownership as an adult. This one issue will do more for men and boys than just about any other thing. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 08/03/24 03:31 PM |
