It's such a mindfuck that people who are supposedly feminist will somehow enforce 1950s gender expectations of men through contemporary expressions of shame.

I'd like to be able to cite those stats, any chance you know a source?

The word "individualism" has a huge amount of connotations, as I have learned recently after being schooled earlier in this thread about anarchism. I think especially in the US we have a pretty unique conception of "American individualism" with connotations to libertarianism and some conservative beliefs, which is why it it might feel weird (as it did to me) when someone says that fighting hierarchy requires individualism. Perhaps especially in the US, "dismantling hierarchy" feels like a left-w…

I think it's more of a matter of degree of how militantly misandrist the person is. I guarantee the crowd that would say "they're still men" is smaller than the crowd that wouldn't. But the race analogy is weak against either group: a group that is just merely pre-2010 woke will dismiss it already; a group that would say "they're still men" is even deeper in. The movement that distinguishes between black men and black women, intersectionality, is actually a huge asset to the men's right's moveme…

I don't think the analogy with race is effective even though I think it is a good analogy. The reason it's not effective is that most people dismiss it without thinking honestly about it. Someone who sees themselves as progressive and sees you as conservative (which, anyone who is advocating for mens rights is in their eyes) will pretty much dismiss it on the spot as some sort of trickery. The most common response I see is for them to respond that the analogy is, itself, racist. The shallow just…

This is a genuine question, not disbelief, as a male advocate-- What are the third spaces feminists are eroding? This is the first time I have heard this point made.

I'm all for criticising acadmeia. I think I read what you were saying to mean "eymology / dictionary = academic" which is what I was confused about, but you might also mean that the trend to use "patriarchy" so broadly is academic (which it might be, idk where that push comes from). But I realize thats my misreading. I'm still confused what you mean by individualistic. Maybe you support particularism? It also reminds me of intersectionalism. I get why you want to use the word individual but when…

I'm kind of suspicious that fighting hierarchy requires leaning individualistic as more communal anarchists do exist. I'm also hesistant to call etymology "academic" roots, if that's what you mean by that--descriptively, with or without academia, language has connotations that are informed by the roots. But we are on the same team, it seems like your conclusions are the same as mine even if I'm confused about that reasoning.

IMO the biggest flaws are socialism needs "perfect" conditions to work, and that it has to be decided by... people, and people do not have a good track record when it comes to getting perfection. I feel like this is not a take borne out of much thought about it. All systems needs perfect conditions to work perfectly, unlees you can credibly say socialism needs more fine tuning than others (which is fairly easily disputed). Roughly the same criticisms you make are credibly made about capitalism. …

I agree completely. I was thinking earlier about the word "patriarchy" and how it has sort of become a stand-in for "everything broken about the system today." I appreciate how some feminists have expanded feminism to be anti-capitalist, anti-hierarchy, and other progressive directions of feminism. However, I can't help but feel frustrated when I hear sentiments that use, for example, "matriarchy" to essentially mean "a system that fixes everything broken about the system today", or "anti-capita…

I have a lot to say about this--I hope some of it will be helpful. I am hoping that by sharing my own experiences that you get something out of different facets of it. Years ago, I identified as a feminist. I was a moderator of several socially progressive online spaces. I read Bell Hooks for fun. I was chronically online (which was exacerbated when covid hit) and spent most of my time on Breadtube, where I learned about what was essentially the proto-Maga movement as different content creators …

I think that it is misandry, but that it is a common sentiment that most people don't feel a need to challenge. I think it is harmful however. For example, I hear people use the sentiment to excuse relationships with large age gaps with older men, which tend to be harmful (even if critique of those relationships tends to come more from the lens of misogyny). The sentiment came from a person close to me, who came out of an abusive relationship with an older man, who said they entered it because "…

You can kill a man, but you can't kill an idea.
