12	Being mindful of personal safety, or creating a moral panic around men? The problem with teaching about probability and statistics is that before you can do that you have to teach critical thinking or it won't do any good. The issue here is critical thinking is very difficult for those who have trouble dealing with their emotions which is most people but even more the less time you have had in your life to learn to do so. While there are young people who are good at critical thinking it's not common nor does it get much easier for most as they age. Humans are very h…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	20/04/23 09:26 PM
51	Anti-male sentiment on the left from the perspective of a trans woman it’s also hard to find men’s advocacy spaces that aren’t overrun with violent misogyny I'm going to disagree, heavily. I have yet to see a critique of MRA's that wasn't biased in some fashion and that chose the worst possibly light they could to interpret what MRA's said, even critiques supposedly from within the movement rarely choose a less judgmental interpretation. Men's advocacy is not full of misogyny it has some inarticulate hurt men who say things that can be interpreted badly but only i…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	04/04/23 09:34 PM
7	The left is committing suicide: the increasing alienation of men is going to destroy our movement Part of this is the fantasy that we have complete freewill. While humans do have the ability to influence our actions a great deal of our thought isn't taken up in choosing what to do but in telling ourselves and others stories (justifications) about why we did or are going to do something. These actions are driven most often not by reason but emotion/habit and instinct. Beyond that there is the reality that in almost all circumstance your choices are constrained by circumstances such that you o…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	29/03/23 01:18 PM
8	The "Gender Wage Gap" is why I was (formerly) a feminist There is little to no wage gap for women, a wage is a measure of the amount of money one makes per time unit. If this is the measure the detriment women sometimes have disappears when experience and salary negotiation are included in relation to near identical jobs. What is almost always used in the "wage gap" is overall earnings, Women in general (not always) have slightly lower wages for very similar jobs for three reasons. Women tend to take some time off if not completely leave the job marke…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	21/03/23 04:00 PM
4	Opinion \| The Men — and Boys — Are Not Alright (Richard Reeves on the Ezra Klein Show) It's not just the opposition you can be partly opposed to how people approach things, a nuanced opposition. He went out of his way to bring up the MRM point us out and say the goal should be to make us sound crazy there is no nuance there as far as I can tell hes ideologically opposed to us in every way. He hides it well sounding reasoned but to me this person is an extremist and anything he touches is not going to go well for what he touched.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	15/03/23 03:28 PM
4	Opinion \| The Men — and Boys — Are Not Alright (Richard Reeves on the Ezra Klein Show) I agree completely to add to what your saying something that is well known and goes against the maturity being beneficial to learning is plasticity we know that the younger a a child is the easier it is for them to learn and at a much faster rate. If girls mature faster then they loose plasticity faster as well so it seems unlikely just maturity could be the sole or even major reason for the disparity	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	14/03/23 02:45 AM
3	Opinion \| The Men — and Boys — Are Not Alright (Richard Reeves on the Ezra Klein Show) There's another solution that's been shown to help, have boys only class rooms. Private single sex schools invariably have better results for boys. That's not to say its a cure all solution and there are issues with single sex schools that need to be dealt with. One solution could be integrated schools with some segregated class rooms at need.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	13/03/23 11:18 PM
9	Opinion \| The Men — and Boys — Are Not Alright (Richard Reeves on the Ezra Klein Show) I'm not looking for reasons to be mad he specifically targeted MRA's (by name) as crazy and did so by labeling someone he called alt right as an MRA implying heavily that MRA's are somehow more repugnant than the alt right I really don't think you were listening to that podcast he said in multiple ways he doesn't think men are being discriminated against or that they don't need help while also saying they do need help and are in trouble at the same time, At best hes an idiot at worst hes a shill…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	13/03/23 10:36 PM
4	Opinion \| The Men — and Boys — Are Not Alright (Richard Reeves on the Ezra Klein Show) Again you were not listening he didn't say we should do those things he said they might help if we did them or when they were done they helped and also neither of those are changes to the system. This is what a policy change would sound like one that changes the system. "I am advocating that we created a federal mandate that requires at least 25% of k-12 teachers be male."	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	13/03/23 10:14 PM
25	Opinion \| The Men — and Boys — Are Not Alright (Richard Reeves on the Ezra Klein Show) The reason this guy is getting any play or attention is due to this right here they realized that mensrights doesn't sound crazy (because were right amazing how that works) and just shouting us down isn't helping so they need to do something about it so he and others have decided that if they act like they care and talk about it (still doing nothing of course) that they give those on the left who are about to listen to us an outlet to talk about men's issues without being swayed by us and better…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	13/03/23 09:47 PM
12	Opinion \| The Men — and Boys — Are Not Alright (Richard Reeves on the Ezra Klein Show) I don't think you listened, there was a whole lot of the education system doesn't work for men and men are not doing well but they never talked about changing the system other than starting boys a year later he in fact went out of his way when comparing the situation with women in the 70's when title 9 was passed to now with men to say that while the numbers were similar he didn't think it was for the same reasons and he wanted to be clear that he didn't think men were being discriminated agains…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	13/03/23 09:39 PM

2	Men, Intimacy & The "Right to Sex" - Between The Scenes \| The Daily Show The idea and backlash against "the right to money" is because people think of money as something it is not. People think of money as a possession that has some sort of real tangible asset and while it does for an individual masquerade as such it's not at all what it is to the economy or in truth to the individual. Money is a way to exchange value indirectly such that if you need flour you don't have to go through many steps of trading things of value to others who need what you can provide to ge…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	22/10/22 01:21 AM
4	United Nations Discovers Most Human Traffic Perpetrators are Women They're still a victim, but that doesn't excuse them "they were a victim, they are now perpetrators" that would be the correct sentence your not a victim indefinitely and your certainly not one once you are in a position or power and victimizing others.	/r/MensRights	20/10/22 02:43 AM
4	Why is nobody talking about HEAL? Just FYI women being 27% of stem workers is probably bullshit. Gender statistics when dealing with stem tend to be heavily cherry picked. I assume this statistic came from the us census if you click the link to the table and look at the actual spread sheet you will see that there's a bunch of stem related fields that seem to be separated from stem fields this includes almost all healthcare related occupations, and interesting enough the percentage of women in these occupations is 78%.

18	Time For Left To ADMIT Boys, Men Are In CRISIS This is a horrible take IMO if you listen it's quite clear that while they acknowledge men have issues they are saying that it's due to men being inferior to women. It doesn't get anymore clear than when he says "we evened the playing field in education and now women are doing better than men."	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	30/09/22 10:47 AM
8	Time For Left To ADMIT Boys, Men Are In CRISIS Isolated instances don't indicate something trends do. In general men do worse in the current education system, yes some do very well but that doesn't "indicate something else is going on." In almost any situation you can find outliers, there were quite a few black slave owners in the south before the civil war that didn't mean black people were treated equal to white men in the south at that time.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	30/09/22 10:44 AM
9	Is the right sympathetic to the MRM? No political group is sympathetic to anyone political groups don't work like that they actively search for groups they can use and manipulate. That is not to say there are not individuals or even groups of people within political movements that could be or are sympathetic, but the only way the right or left will ever look out for men is if those parties see doing so as advantageous to them.	/r/MensRights	24/09/22 08:41 PM
2	So there is a poor soul trying to talk to feminist in twoxchromosomes. He's trying to create a sub where discussion between genders can be regulated. He's finding we're a lot nicer than expected. This became an issue but who knows what would have happened had the mod bias not been there from the beginning. At the start both sides were actively trying to create a community for discussion and one where arguments would be less heated and while there was always bad actors on both sides there was a sense at the beginning that there was at least an attempt by the majority to have a balanced sub for open debate and discussion. The problem was it became apparent early on that it wasn't actually …	/r/MensRights	11/07/22 03:13 AM
2	So there is a poor soul trying to talk to feminist in twoxchromosomes. He's trying to create a sub where discussion between genders can be regulated. He's finding we're a lot nicer than expected. And funny enough it's still not enough there are constant posts on feminist subs lumping menslib with other "misogynistic" subs usually with the caveat that their slightly better.	/r/MensRights	11/07/22 12:22 AM

Both of those subs were doomed from the start due to those running it being heavily biased feminist to begin with, I participated in both subs and on a previous account I even participated in the creation of the original rules for Femradebates neither worked out in the end. FRD almost did work but there was a very slight bias from the start and it got worse over the years but what sealed the deal is when the original head mod left they gave control to a staunch feminist who then gave control to …	/r/MensRights	11/07/22 12:14 AM

I would highly suggest you look into first/second wave feminism. First suffragettes did not call themselves feminists nor did most of them ideologically hold with the few around that called themselves feminists at that time. Second suffragettes were not good people in any sense of the word. There was a great deal of racism and classism not to mention the whole white feather nonsense. I would just highly suggest you do some research as with a great deal of history the small amount you were taught…	/r/MensRights	11/07/22 12:07 AM
4	@the_dadvocate has almost a million followers on TikTok and is promoting a healthy discussion about men and relationships It's not performing emotions its managing emotions it's an important distinction because men actually are far more often required to have emotional labor as part of their jobs due to how we expect men to be stoic at all times.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	09/07/22 09:15 PM
9	Great... now male's MRA don't want to talk with me because they see me as a woman now It's not the same thing at all. Feminist means you choose to be part of an ideology someone can't assign that to you. MRA just means men's rights advocate its not an ideology its just a descriptor. Do you advocate for men's rights? then you can be labeled an MRA. Do you have to call yourself that? No, but it doesn't change that the label applies. It's the difference between calling someone a voter vs a Democrat.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	28/06/22 02:15 PM

An ally is someone who is not part of your group but has interests that align with yours that you are choosing to associate with for some purpose. The key part being they are not part of your group. For example is a war another country can be an ally your own countries military is not an ally as they are part of your country. This is why many feminists refuse to call male feminists feminists but will call them allies essentially refusing to allow men to be fell…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	28/06/22 02:03 PM

31	Great... now male's MRA don't want to talk with me because they see me as a woman now There's not much men can have as reproductive rights reasonably but there are a few things that are reasonable. One thing that is overlooked by many is that due to how reproduction works women have 100% certainty(minus weird hospital baby switching) that their child is theirs whereas men have essentially 0% certainty without paternity testing. Even if paternity testing is available this asking for a test is problematic as most women will take this as an insult. The simplest way to deal with this…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	28/06/22 01:46 PM
8	Is this square one for men? Their labor is more valuable to the capitalist class This is the wrong term it's not more valuable its more exploitable. Value means you will protect what you value and you will invest in what you value. At minimum if men's labor were valued then the lives of men on the job would be proactively protected.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	23/06/22 01:46 PM
1	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. This is true but only if you have no children once you have children you are no longer saving money and with two children your probably falling behind.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	19/06/22 05:51 PM

12	I'm just now realizing how often the term "mutual abuse" was used during the Depp v Heard trial. IMO Mutual abuse (in contrast to reciprocal) would be when both parties are/or would be abusive in nature regardless of the other partner and their abusive nature. I would guess that in these cases the violence will escalate quickly and both will be aggressive at least in the types of DV they engage in. In the case of JD and AH I don't think this follows at all while there are times when JD behaved in ways that you could term as abusive it's pretty clear from all testimony that in most cases he …	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	12/06/22 03:03 PM

Minister: "If done, there will be complaints from women's organizations". Just want to point out that the statistics do in most cases report that women suffer more often from domestic violence. but... The statistics, common sense, and psychology all show that men are very adverse from self reporting abuse and statistic that rely on crime reports are problematic in so many ways it would take multiple posts to report on how biased they are towards women.

2	Why boys die of illnesses much more than girls and what do we do about it? It's trivially easy to find a few recent papers that call into question this in specific raising some concerns on how exactly testosterone effects the immune system and the papers that have concluded such doing so in ways that were not at best done very effectively. The following two were found in the top links simply searching the phrase "Testosterone being immunosuppressive" I obviously am not a scientist but it seems its not as fairly well established as you have said. https://www.nature.com/…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	01/06/22 10:21 AM

I have a hard time believing any explanation of male deficiencies without a huge amount of evidence due to the fact the prevailing zeitgeist is to find any fault men have and attribute it to men just being worse than women. Some research show this disparity I assume but my question is how biased is this? There are so many ways even the best research can be twisted to fit what we want to believe, and the reality is most people want to believe that any failings men have are innate and not a failin…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	01/06/22 07:38 AM
0	Being a white male isn’t automatically playing life on easy mode per se The problem with discussing race as bias or benefit is people take individual situations such as known instances of racists targeting someone negatively and then use this to justify using known generalities to pass judgment on individuals, and hence commit the same type of crime they just derided on someone else. Their definitely are racial, sexual, cultural, and other inequalities in every society.

That's a stupid argument, your directly applying a generality to an individual situation and making base assumptions.

That's how GG was going to win support from the mainstream, and that's how men's rights are going to win support in the future. Yes and no.
