22	I'm really confused about MensLib take here. I used to be pretty active on menslib but not so much anymore. There is a weird aura of self loathing, this neurotic self flagellation that eats and eats away until there's nothing left. That sub is toxic. The mods are mad with power, too quick to crush dissent, and any critique of feminism, even a mild one, is verboten. It feels like the best way to be a proper menslib style feminist is to rip your own teeth out, convince your friends to do it too, and smile about it through the pain and bleedi…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	21/07/24 11:35 PM
4	I believe Men are severally underrepresented in animated media that challenges sexism. I watched the What if finale the other day and while I did like it Captain Carter...bugged me a little. I mean pretty much the whole season, except the Kahori episode, bugged me. I think the problem I have with captain carter is that she represents couple of things. The 2010's girlboss badass female character trope, which in this case means, a female character that is really good at fighting, quips (the quips seriously got on my nerves) and not much else. Marvel hates sincerity. The...ugh...musc…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	31/12/23 10:20 PM
1	So, it happened, I got permabanned from menslib. I got a comment deleted just for saying "There are aspects of patriarchy that are reinforced by women." Menslib has a strange aura of chivalry and self loathing about it. It's almost allergic to men feeling good about themselves. It's sin with no redemption. I'm weaning myself off it for good.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	11/11/23 12:32 PM
5	I'm I the only one who noticed some feminists do this odd thing where they want the best of 3 worlds? The messaging we receive from feminists is incredibly confusing. Sometimes it feels like they don't really hate traditional masculinity that much. Just the stuff that negatively affects them. The Andrew Tate stuff...hate it with the intensity of 1000 suns. Chivalry, protecting and providing for women, service and self sacrifice. Trad stuff...they don't seem that bothered by it. Progressives can only think of two things when it comes to gender roles for men. The super vague "Masculinity is whatev…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	01/10/23 03:51 AM
102	problems for short men Or, if they are insecure, they're told their issues aren't real, that they need to "just be confident" "be their authentic selves" and "learn a skill to draw women in." The internet loves it's sickly sweet vague platitudes, loves to say that height, looks and money don't matter, except they do. Loves to say that authenticity and vulnerability is what matters, except that usually means crying at sunsets and Pixar movies. Not the ugly stuff.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	09/02/23 10:55 AM
4	Why the term ‘toxic masculinity’ needs to be retired I personally do not like the phrase because it gets tossed around so much nearly everything men do or don't do is attributed to it. It's the reason we don't recycle, it's the reason we don't eat vegetables, it's the reason we play violent games with high difficulty settings. It's a catch all phrase for any male behavior, good or bad. Mostly bad. There are guys out there who beat themselves up for liking anything even vaguely traditionally male because they're worried they won't be seen as woke e…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	11/07/21 10:49 PM
2	Is it just me or is “fragile masculinity” just the new “man up” half the time? I'd say most of the time it is. Both phrases are used to illicit shame and to get men to act a certain way. Something that people on both sides of the aisle don't seem to understand is that calling out someone's insecurities only makes them MORE insecure, not less. Then they get shamed for having insecurities in the first place, everyone has insecurities, it's normal. No one is 100% confident 100% of the time. Shame is not a motivator for positive change, it only makes people dig in their heels …	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	20/06/21 03:19 PM
36	I don't know how many of you need to hear this. Being a left-leaning guy can do a real number on your self esteem if you let it. There's this strange air of self-loathing, this self flaggelation we have to do to feel accepted. In order to prove we aren't toxic, that we 'aren't like those other boys' we have to loudly declare how different we are. It feels like more and more, we have to trade one box of Ill fitting stereotypes for another one wrapped up in therapy language instead of barbed wire.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	11/02/21 11:13 AM
7	Re: Do you guys hate feminism? No, I don't. It just isn't a perfect movement. Women empowering themselves is a good thing, but our culture's turned equality into a zero-sum game. There is this weird neurotic self-flaggelating I see from left leaning men sometimes and it's unhealthy. Like you have to push yourself down to lift women up. It's almost as if guys feeling good about themselves is a crime.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	07/02/21 12:21 PM
