42	Young Men Are ABANDONING The Left, Liberal Says The Left HATES Masculinity (Sort of) You don't have to pick a side here actually You are an activist for male rights. That does not need to be tied to a left or right mainstream, and in fact both these movements tend to hate the idea of male issues being addressed at all. The mainstream left endorses conspiracy theories about the patriarchy, and the mainstream right preys upon wayward men to sell harmful ideas and exploit men's bodies in prisons and militaries. But, you can assert pressure and raise awareness without a political ma…	/r/MensRights	01/06/25 03:32 AM
3	Some dumbass said MRAs and Feminists are compatible This is such a screed of buzzwords I'm struggling to interpret your post... You may want to take a step back and re-assess why you feel the way you do. Not even to change your mind but just to sort your ideas out. You may be falling into a view of politics which is more about emotional response than trying to seek a better world. Feminism has a lot of issues and there are a lot of flaws in feminist theory, but if someone holds the fundamental view that genders should be treated fairly? That is s…	/r/MensRights	27/05/25 05:52 PM
5	saying “who set that system up” is like blaming a german kid for ww2 I'd also argue our system (Call it patriarchy, call it the gender binary, call it whatever) was set up by countless invisible factors in history, from culture as a whole, to religion, to the expectations placed upon us by upbringing and parents, even to the mere reality of any sexual dimorphism existing at all and what people made of that No one created this system. It was formed over hundreds of years of culture by forces outside any one group's control. Some groups certainly fought for active …	/r/MensRights	05/05/25 11:36 AM
13	Comment Section of This Video Depressing What?? It seems toxic because it is. That's the point! It's a totally dysfunctional relationship and they probably shouldn't have moved in together. The guy has no capacity or room to have another person in their life, and the woman has no option but to take away parts of what makes this person himself. This isn't really portraying women as being overly-entitled to space, nor men as inherently abusive. It's just showing that some people are not right for each other and that may only become obvio…	/r/MensRights	15/03/25 08:13 AM
1	Why do we feel mad about the word patriarchy? So we gotta understand what patriarchy means, first For the most part - it is an invisible set of expectations which maintains people in gender roles, with the implication that society benefits men at the expense of women. There are other definitions (for example, some fringe areas of feminism believe that this is more of a conspiracy against women) but I think that's the more widely-resonate definition - it's a set of societal expectations. Patriarchy theory is not inherently saying that men ar…	/r/MensRights	09/03/25 01:17 AM
13	DEI Dying is Great for Men On the contrary, I think you are misunderstanding what is being said here... He is firing employees in the government using DEI as a cover. If a program is politically inconvenient, it can be called DEI and slashed. The firing of government employees is of course, in that respect, associated with the anti-DEI angle. This is a very bad thing. Meanwhile... This person is saying that this still does not actually kill DEI. Private companies still engage in this heavily. This person is not saying you…	/r/MensRights	24/02/25 05:45 AM
1	DEI Dying is Great for Men Like, the ultimate issue with the cutting is not DEI itself. It's that the way things are being slashed and burned under a vague assertion of DEI, to the point of places being attacked if they don't do this, is that it effects a lot of stuff which is not that For example, there have been issues in the sciences as anything with a vaguely 'progressive' inclination are being under threat Likewise, there are also places in which DEI is important. The most highly-seen places where DEI is arguably a m…	/r/MensRights	24/02/25 05:34 AM
20	“Penises are more threatening than vaginas” Back in the 2010s, I recall seeing a lot of people into male rights often repeat a similar sentiment; one which has gotten a little rare of late. It went like... "A lot of the social issues particular to transwomen are also male rights issues, because ultimately transphobes see them as men" Which is to say... When you look at ideas like "All men are potential rapists" and "Men talk over women and invade their spaces, and so must be excluded from those spaces cultivated to allow women to speak an…	/r/MensRights	02/07/24 05:46 PM
14	As a feminist what can i do to support men’s rights without diminishing those of women? So like, there's a lot of reactions here. And there are a lot of people who are angry at feminism in general. There's a lot of history to that. People will cite the historical opposition from feminists to male domestic shelters, and for pushing for causes which further advantage women in places where they are advantaged, and a lot of other things. And, I'm sure the opposite is true as well, and you have noticed - a lot of feminists are very angry at the MRAs for supposedly undermining their own …	/r/MensRights	11/04/24 07:44 AM
1	Would you say that "patriarchy" is a vague and obscure boogeyman? Okay this is political theory. Follow me on this. So, this is something at the heart of radical feminist theory (Opposed to choice feminism, etc, which have fallen out of favour) The idea is thus: The Patriarchy is, when put simply, the idea that society is and has been for many generations, set up for the benefit of men at the expense of women. This is, depending on context, either literal (Ie, men as the people who rule the country and make the laws) or something 'invisible' (Ie, woman being d…	/r/MensRights	07/03/24 05:27 AM
6	Japanese animes like High school DXD and Fairy tail get lots of shit online for sexually assaulting women for humor and fan service but American movies and tv shows like Thor love and thunder and the loud house have those exact same scenes but a man is sexually assaulted instead and nobody cares. Hrrm... I don't even know if this is particularly a gender thing. A lot of people are just really weird about anime, and treat the same thing a lot more harshly Many people in the anime fandom have noted that western releases will get away with full sex scenes and obvious fanservice so long as it's western-made - but Japanese releases will try to censor away those same things in international releases to meet the global standard, or be unusually scrutinized in online circles or by publications. …	/r/MensRights	05/03/24 05:00 AM
6	Is it true that gender neutral doesn't exist because of patriarchy ? People are just saying "Patriarchy isn't real" but I feel like that doesn't explain things very well So, first we have to look at the actual facts here. The reality is that rape laws are often gendered, either explicitly (Ie, if Rape is defined as when a man forces a woman to have sex against her will, that cannot by definition be done to a man) or implicitly (Ie, if rape is defined as forced penetration, a woman can still do that, but is far more likely to rape in other ways.) Then, the rest …	/r/MensRights	26/02/24 09:07 PM
0	Why are men's problems discussed primary by Conservatives, whilst women problems prinarily by leftists? Man, a lot of people just citing rather conservative rhetoric in the comments, haha But, I think more than anything it's to do with the tribalism of politics, and how the left and right - especially in the US - tend to define themselves as opposites to one another So: Feminism has been a leftist issue historically. I think you have a good understanding of that. And, Feminism was, when the MRA movement was developing, often an oppositional force to the MRAs. Now. This is for a variety of reason…	/r/MensRights	17/02/24 11:27 AM
7	A feminist argument against mens rights: men are oppressed because of other men. So, I see this argument sometimes. It's typically a feminist-aligned argument, and I think you need to understand some feminist theory to really unpack it. So, if I think of it from a feminist perspective, this argument is operating off a lot of unsaid assumptions. What some people mean by this is not what other people mean, but I think it's something like this... First, I think what this is trying to say is essentially "Men's problems are caused by other men, and therefore are the fault of th…	/r/MensRights	02/02/24 09:53 AM
5	Kicked out of debate group on my university campus talking about MensRights You're out now, so whatever happens will be an uphill battle concerning the things you are directly talking about here. But if this feminist group really is making students to whom English is not a first language feel unwelcome, and ganging up to oppose and silence particular perspectives, you might consider how this could be rather discriminatory in and of itself	/r/MensRights	04/04/23 07:37 AM
13	Why are men expected to die in war There are debates on this, and a few theories... The one I have seen is that is most resonate to me is that it ultimately comes down to survival. This idea that some gender roles have emerged for various cultural reasons, while others are very broadly applied to unrelated cultures dye to circumstances of environment and what is effective to live in the long-term. Male disposability is one of the latter - Societies are set up in some ways to protect women and thus future generations, so you get a…	/r/MensRights	22/02/22 10:57 AM
