4	UN experts appalled by reported human rights violations against Palestinian women and girls To give the UN a speck of credit, I don't necessarily think they're ignoring men in this respect, I just think it's difficult to violate the human rights of men you've already killed en-masse, rather than left alive. That's not to say that then UN is any good at not ignoring those deaths.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	20/02/24 09:21 AM

2	young boys swinging to the right. let’s talk about it. I commented because there's a difference between an underdeveloped mind being exposed to an excess of sexual material due to constant media access, exposure, peer pressure, abuse, etc. and your baseless fucking claim that this underdeveloped mind of a child is doing so as a "willful, deliberate choice to seek out their idea of perfection in porn". An 11 year old. Look in the fucking mirror. A child does not view pornography in an attempt to replace their ideal of women or whatever the fuck you t…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	04/08/23 07:55 AM
1	young boys swinging to the right. let’s talk about it. Yeah, I'm angry at comments like that, but I'm by no means surprised. Unfortunately. EDIT: AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, the idiot fucking Reddit Cares'd me as well. Fucking child sexualizing coward.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	04/08/23 07:27 AM
3	young boys swinging to the right. let’s talk about it. Public? How's that relevant? I was talking about your ascribing malicious/sexist(?) motives to a child who likely hasn't developed enough to be thinking anywhere near what you said they were. I don't think you can find a single 11 year old boy who is "seeking out an idea of perfection in porn", and it's fucking weird that you think they are. EDIT: You're a fucking coward who blocks me and abuses suicide help services, u/JNRoberts42.

3	young boys swinging to the right. let’s talk about it. If they spend years 11-19 Boys and young men make that willful, deliberate choice to seek out their idea of perfection in porn. Ah yes, blame the 11 year olds. They're definitely deliberately seeking out some ideal in porn, sure. That's an awful lot of bloody agency you're assigning to children with underdeveloped brains.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	03/08/23 11:02 AM

8	I am blown away at how many people are applauding Greta Thunberg for D-shaming Andrew Tate. Is it body sharing though? Big dick energy is a common phrase to describe someone it’s not like she said he actually has a small dick What would be your opinion on the following? Is it shaming someone for their sexuality though? Gay is a common phrase to describe someone it’s not like she said he actually is homosexual. or perhaps Is it gender shaming though? Girly is a common phrase to describe someone it’s not like she said he actually is physically weak, pathetic, and emotionally fragile.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	30/12/22 09:20 AM
38	How do I make peace with the fact that practically no one has progressive views on the role of men in society? Taking J.K Rowling as a current favoured internet target (no matter how justified), would you say it's fine to tell her to "get back in the kitchen and make a sandwich" in response to some anti-trans comment? Would calling out that stereotype that assigns women as homemakers by default be the same as defending the comment from Rowling? Is your answer here different to your answer regarding the Thunberg/Tate exchange?	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	28/12/22 11:02 PM
2	"Most politicians are men" Have fun, hopefully nobody else you talk to wants any nuance or clarification on your sweeping statements.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	28/08/22 06:04 PM
3	"Most politicians are men" This which means it's not a sector which attracts very many men who have been taught to strive for higher payment and "man jobs", so it becomes perpetuating societal factor. Unless you werer to do systemic reforms to target getting more men into education, you aren't solving it. Plus your spirited defence of it, plus your use of "a decade" of anecdote, provides that impression. Typically, I'd expect to see something like "one of the notable factors is..." or "an important element is..." or somet…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	28/08/22 05:47 PM
2	"Most politicians are men" So by that extention non of your presumptions are to be taken serious either as to why men in lesser numbers are represented within education and child care. Given that my presumption was "there's more than just that one reason, and you aren't considering all of them", I'm not sure what you think's the problem. You are disagreeing with it, which is fine, but that also mean non of your presumptions have any merit, given they aren't based in studies either. See above. I'm not saying the reasons I'…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	28/08/22 05:25 PM
1	"Most politicians are men" Suppose that doesn't mean anything. I mean, to be blunt, anecdote =/= data. I'm happy to start digging out sources, but though that would be a bit much. But no, your experiences, however they may be, don't support generalisations that apply to a whole gender. You were the one bringing femininity into the picture, so I just attempted to follow your vernacular. While I conflated them too, sure, you're the one who started on "female heavy" being tied to "less of a man".	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	28/08/22 04:54 PM
1	"Most politicians are men" I'm not saying it never happens, I'm saying that you haven't provided much backing for a sweeping generalisation that you're applying to all men, as well as ignored other factors that could be in play for other men. It also doesn't feel particularly useful to interchangeably use "less of a man" and "a more feminine man", because there's many ways for someone to be perceived as less of a man without femininity coming into it.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	28/08/22 04:22 PM
3	"Most politicians are men" When saying 'taught not to' (which isn't a phrase I used, but I digress) it was in terms of societal pressure for men to not enter female heavy sectors like teacher or nurse out of fear of the stigma of being seen as less men by others Taught to strive for other jobs vs taught not to go for certain jobs is a bit of a petty distinction. I also think that's a sweeping assumption as to why men don't go into teaching. I've seen no reason to think that men don't get into teaching because it's feminin…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	28/08/22 03:41 PM
12	"Most politicians are men" Money is not the only form of power. It may be a prevalent one, and yes, teachers are paid criminally little, but teachers are still often the shapers of children's minds, morals, and ideas, even going so far as to be the sole adult figures for some. which means it's not a sector which attracts very many men who have been taught to strive for higher payment and "man jobs", I don't see how men are being taught to strive for higher paying jobs. Refuse collection, the army, building sites, are thes…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	28/08/22 02:52 PM
35	"Most politicians are men" As a follow-up, I'd rather care about the gaping gap between girls and boys in basically every level of education than as to the gender of the arrogant oligarch that runs my country. That's not to say that leaders aren't important, just that changing their gender wouldn't make them any less of a bastard. I'm from the UK - our next leader is looking likely to be a woman. She's still a morally bankrupt, money-loving piece of Tory scum, and her gender doesn't change that, nor does she boost women i…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	28/08/22 01:29 PM
99	"Most politicians are men" If "most politicians are men" is a valid point in favour of men supposedly having all the power, then the prevalence of female teachers and the overwhelming influence women have on the raising of everyone should surely indicate their overwhelming amounts of hidden power.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	28/08/22 12:28 PM
7	semi-feminist madly in love with a LWMA member Anti-abortionists don't advertise themselves as fighting for the good of all women. Some do. And why would that matter if they were fighting for god? Surely a hypothetical fight for the good of mortal souls overrides such petty things as gender? Assuming the motives doesn't further your point.

3	semi-feminist madly in love with a LWMA member Since when is masculinity men? There's no women displaying toxic masculinity? I've only really seen it used as a bludgeon and an insult against men, and against all men as a group. Even your example is about someone assigning a negative trait to men as a group. It's not applicable because feminism and women-as-a-group are not conflated. Unless you think people like, say, Marjorie Taylor Green or Amy Coney Barett are feminists. Feminism, and its negatives, are not assigned to all women. Hatred of…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	27/08/22 04:05 PM
4	semi-feminist madly in love with a LWMA member feminism represents one of the genders. This here shows what's trying to be driven home: no it damn well does not. but even if there wasn't then when we demonize feminism we're basically calling it a toxic feminism, right? Evil, bad, demon, we don't need to say some bad-sounding term to state that we think it's toxic and so then it's same as stating that masculinity (not men) is toxic. Feminism. Is. Not. The. Same. As. Femininity. Or. Women. y demonizing feminism we say that "feminism (not women…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	27/08/22 03:41 PM
2	semi-feminist madly in love with a LWMA member and um, when did I demonize men's organizations? Was it by saying "let's not demonize women's organization/women"? It was the implication that the subreddit is: but let's not mimic them and assume they're the devil, leading some horrible supremacy organization while they have to frustrated at us yell in our faces their goals and visions of an egalitarian world assuming that we're portraying women as the devil, alluding to us being a "supremacy organisation", acting like feminists are the ones wh…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	27/08/22 03:38 PM

10	semi-feminist madly in love with a LWMA member ye I mean it's suppose to be solely pro-women without being anti-men, I know it doesn't do the job well, nonetheless I think the aim is still set at egalitarianism, I forget the exact citation, but I think it was u/a-man-from-earth who usually has an 1800s feminist paper to hand that states otherwise (EDIT: some sort of declaration? I want to say Niagara Falls in 1864, but my memory is spotty. If anyone knows what I'm on about, help would be appreciated) Either way, my response is again, don't k…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	27/08/22 02:18 PM
7	semi-feminist madly in love with a LWMA member I read a lot here about women demonizing men, which I don't argue with, it's a thing, but let's not mimic them and assume they're the devil, leading some horrible supremacy organization while they have to frustrated at us yell in our faces their goals and visions of an egalitarian world This, this is what irritates me. One, who the hell's running a "supremacy organisation"? Two, why is your first response to "feminism is often anti-men" to quickly demonise men's organisations? Three, who's sayin…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	27/08/22 02:13 PM

21	semi-feminist madly in love with a LWMA member Providing an analogy that focuses solely on "feminism is just pro-women" and completely ignores the many times when feminism is anti-men is not going to go well.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	27/08/22 01:57 PM
17	semi-feminist madly in love with a LWMA member It is. I wrote "one can usually opt out" meaning that ANYONE can usually opt out, unless rape is at play. Sorry for the confusion! No worries.

53	semi-feminist madly in love with a LWMA member the term "toxic masculinity" is very misleading and harmful to men due to perceived blame that this term carries, although it was created with good intentions to help everyone recognize harm inflicted on all genders resulting from harmful male gender expectations Created with good intentions, don't kid yourself. I could say it was created to demonise men and provide an easy term to pin them as the cause of many, many negative things. one term should just be "harm done by male gender expectations…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	27/08/22 12:59 PM
66	semi-feminist madly in love with a LWMA member I'm not gonna tackle all of that, but some bits which stand out to me. overall there is less women than men in the so-called institutions of power meaning in government, church and in property ownership in places where there's an equal or greater amount of women in institutions of power women hold less powerful positions than men In my view, this is entirely misleading, because it's a point used as a bludgeon against all men. 2 men vs 1 woman would make this true, but it's not a useful idea if t…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	27/08/22 12:45 PM

7	Why is mainstream media trying to protect Amber Heard so much? What do they get out of it? That goes beyond my extremely surface level expertise - see the actual legal professionals reviewing the trial for proper, likely more trustworthy opinions - but I'd guess unfortunately, probably not. "Is Amber Heard a piece of shit / abuser / liar" is not what this trial is asking, it's asking "Did Amber Heard knowingly defame Johnny Depp, and is this evidenced to a certain standard." The dubious info around the article that she wrote is an example of a potential set of lies that would be legal…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	20/05/22 11:13 PM
12	Why is mainstream media trying to protect Amber Heard so much? What do they get out of it? Because defamation/libel/etc kind of cases can often come down to some element of the law or whether a standard of evidence has been reached regarding the speech under examination, not whether the party actually did it.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	20/05/22 09:34 PM
2	Discussion about tokenism in Marvel movies Some good examples But this is faaaaar from the biggest issue. Yeah, it's cringe and agenda-pushing at times, but there are definitely far bigger problems.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	20/05/22 12:38 PM
2	Discussion about tokenism in Marvel movies I think there absolutely are scenarios mostly, if not all, in comic books (rather than movies) where character replacements, legacies, or name-borrowers have been blatantly done for representation. However, two things: That doesn't make them inherently bad, just that they're done with eye-rolling motivation (in my opinion). They can be anywhere from hollow to bad (Ironheart) to good or rounded out into actual, likeable characters (say, Miles Morales). She-Hulk and Batwoman may (may, and as far a…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	20/05/22 11:25 AM
6	pro-choice vs anti-infant circumcision Yes, infant circumcision is done on someone elses body, but if the point is making sure people aren't using unsafe procedures if you can't stop them by making them illegal, shouldn't it also apply to circumcision? This feels a little different, partly due to abortion being the decision of a functioning adult, while infant circumcision has no input from the affected party. I think the idea of someone being able to want a medical procedure on themselves and to be able to consent to it is a massive…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	10/05/22 08:54 AM
104	Everyone here needs to be mentally prepared for Johnny Depp to lose and Amber Heard to win. People also have to remember that Johnny Depp's trial is not "who abused who", it's "did Amber Heard defame Johnny Depp". It may not even come down to who the jury buys into emotionally, it may come down to much finer points on what counts as defamation.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	09/05/22 12:42 PM
4	Looking for honest discussion to understand this sub The beauty of language is that it can be taken and resignified constantly. Tough to ignore the origins though.

7	how to show to women that advocating for men does not mean anti-women? Although the terminology is outdated, in a historical sense, my understanding is that which has been dubbed "the patriarchy" is referencing the gendered social construct that placed men into the primary power roles. Ie, political, economic, and religious. The basic definition, sure, but feminism has men as the oppressor and women as the oppressed, linked to critical theory. How do you refute that those roles (and thus the powers in them) were held by men? Often, those roles were held by men. Tha…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	02/02/22 08:39 AM
12	how to show to women that advocating for men does not mean anti-women? This isn't representative of the fundamental ideology that feminism advocates for in my conversations at all. I, and many others here, do not base our opposition to feminism on people talking shit (although it's not like it helps), we base it on how fundamental feminist concepts such as the feminist idea of "the patriarchy" are a load of crap (though that's obviously not to say the concept is impossible, just that we're not in it). What is the "fundamental ideology of feminism" for you?	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	01/02/22 05:17 PM
7	how to show to women that advocating for men does not mean anti-women? ? I didn't complain that women's issues don't have enough discussion. Must have not expressed myself in an understandable way. The context of OP's post was that for male advocacy to be effective in the larger capacity we need women to join to advocate for male social issues. The question was eluding to how to get through to the hopefully rational women in this regard. My response was to recognize what their blockages are. No, that's fair, if that's what you meant then I misunderstood, my bad.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	01/02/22 04:50 PM

As happened with this one, downvoted and ignored until I poked. Oi. And this is very much more dismissive IRL.

13	how to show to women that advocating for men does not mean anti-women? That's fair. Assumed the reasoning possibly inaccurately. I do still wonder how reactions would have panned out differently as based on my experience of the way people treat your questions based on perceived gender in male advocacy discussions. Yeah, that's fair, my quarrel was with the assumption, not the idea. Emphasis on the "TRY to provide discussion on men's issues solely on their own." Even on this sub many (most?) posts (I could be subconsciously noticing inaccurately) are reactions to se…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	01/02/22 03:50 PM

Just pretended to be a guy trying to understand and expressing the trouble with doing so. Lol Ok then. No downvote has a reason explicitly attached to it (unless someone comments with one), so why are you snapping to the conclusion that you're being downvoted because you're a woman, rather than, say, that you're professing a point that's often brought up and often refuted? You're also bringing up sai…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	01/02/22 02:46 PM
19	We need to stop saying this As long as we're trying to deflect blame because some women do it too, we're just helping the violence (against men) to continue. My point was that no, we shouldn't blame women as a whole for the women who abuse children. Seems like you've either misunderstood me, or you're awfully defensive. Sympathy for the male victims of male violence doesn't stop it from happening. That's true, yes, but neither does blaming all men for it. Begging for tears of compassion wont stop it from happening either. …	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	01/02/22 01:30 PM
22	We need to stop saying this If this kind of thing were just naming the perpetrators, is it a suitable response to - as highlighted in the OP - things like child abuse to say "Well, sure, many women may be abused as children, but it's usually by other women"? I wouldn't say it is. Because that's not simply naming the perpetrator, it's directly framed as a counterpoint. And the counterpoint seems to be that the crime is minimised because the perpetrator and victim are of the same gender. Hopefully you can see how the analogy…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	01/02/22 01:09 PM
5	Women/ men dominating relationships? I think you're unlikely to find a whole lot because that's not the most definable of qualities to study. "Dominating a relationship" is something that'd probably be studied by surveying people, and will not only be subject to a number of difficult-to-test factors, but also entirely subjective.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	08/12/21 10:26 AM
23	Thoughts on r/femaledatingstrategy Do you feel that it's just just filled with misandry and sexism? Yeah, that seems pretty dead on to me. If you're cooking up your own specific community slurs for a gender, you're not a non-sexist group.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	19/05/21 04:02 PM
1	Intersex people are statistically as common as red heads are in the usa. How does redpill/purple pill ideology deal with this? Oh deary me, stats. There's not much that can be done overall, because that's a big question, but basic probability tells you that since intersex people are about 1.7% of the population, redheads who are intersex will be 1 to 2% of that 1.7%, let's say 1.5% for the sake of argument. If I haven't messed up, that's 0.0255%. Blue eyes are about 9% globally, and about 17% in the USA. That means that we're looking at somewhere between 0.002295% and 0.004335% of the population.
