0	Am I the only one that gets triggered by "toxic masculinity"? It, like 'patriarchy,' has its uses, but chop off overly simplistic gender existentialism, add in history of opportunity, and interesting things happen. In the US, in the year 2023, we now see the best and worst behaviors are pretty universal. Unfortunately it takes a helluva lotta time and effort to even partially overcome subjective connotations when interpreting language. And it rarely makes money. We're all just humans.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	02/08/23 10:09 PM
2	The left is committing suicide: the increasing alienation of men is going to destroy our movement Ain’t weird at all. If enough unified around commonalities, where would the now much stronger ire be directed? What’s the biggest and, at present, continually growing outlier among people? What’s been a continual cycle throughout history?	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	28/03/23 01:05 AM
1	where do artistic men fit in all of this Humans are immensely capable of cognitive dissonance. Life in this universe is, unfortunately, inherently selfish. Our intelligence allows us to examine this, but some people are always looking for excuses to make the easier choices. You can very easily sacrifice your life for one person while blindly hating an abstraction of a third. Why would you choose to maintain distance from a woman at night? Awareness of potentiality. Guilt stemming from empathy. It's rightfully frustrating and without an…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	06/08/22 11:22 PM
2	Why is Misandry so Common on Female Dominated Forums/subreddits/pages Half-conscious hopelessness turning to misdirected anger seems a universal human phenomenon. All one can really do is continue to take the high road, learn, grow, and attempt to organize thoughts towards a semblance of positive change. Our propensity for cognitive dissonance combined with hierarchical structures that have become so far removed from individual reality, all at a point in history at which we have an outside context timer ticking down--well, we're in a very dangerous spot. Do what y…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	08/07/22 08:35 PM
3	The ignoring of men with mental disabilities. You are exactly correct, of course. It is erasure. It is a giant blot of cognitive dissonance. However, as it's particularly complex and nuanced, and because there's such diversity between those adversely affected, and because they're so often misinterpreted and misrepresented, it's immensely tricky to address. There is no emotional, driven, unified front to really break through discussion at present. No powerful organizations fighting for the neurodiverse; few, in fact, advocate at all, but rat…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	20/03/22 03:01 AM
6	Empathy has a genetic component, men have lower empathy on average, but the genetic component is not responsible for men having lower average empathy. What then? Hoo boy. For those who follow such things, Simon Baron-Cohen is not entirely well-regarded. It's also worth stating that psychology, while unquestionably useful, is still several steps removed from actual quantifiable data. What IS quantifiable is basically transcribed into comparative analysis, which brings all the problems of observer-dependent implicit biases to any models derived therefrom. You have to take leaps of logic, and the distance traveled is subjective. Regardless, this is fairly o…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	24/02/22 04:52 AM
16	Looks like we are being discussed on /r/askfeminists Take the high road. Always. There are increasing signs that more and more people are beginning to understand the divide in what powerful, corporate-backed 'leftists' support, and everything else. While this alone won't necessarily help any side of the sex/gender war to more clearly see the flaws in their reasoning or the gaps in their empathy, it has been a huge blockade for the last 30 years. Assuming, of course, climate change doesn't render all of this meaningless! Fun times.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	02/02/22 04:19 AM
3	Growing up, I've never had any male friends. But now my female friends are just toxic. Think on this: Once a brand of dog-eat-dog capitalism so permeates all aspects of life, is it inevitable that celebrations of difference will eventually become weaponized by some?	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	14/12/21 03:16 AM
9	do some women see men just as sex objects? Break down the concept of "sex object." What precisely does it mean? Is it "appreciating the sexual desirability of another without thinking and appreciating their thoughts and personality?" How do you think and appreciate another's thoughts? Empathy. Do you believe men and women both slide from either extreme along the scale of empathy? I know I wouldn't give any further attention to anyone who claimed otherwise. I have seen more than one man as the tenderest father or husband, and more than on…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	31/10/21 10:00 PM
0	TERFs only hate trans women because they hate men. Reduce, reduce, reduce. There's usually little of value to be found in such simple statements encompassing such complexity. Reduce. Reduce, and there's ultimately no difference to be found in hate: only the valence and target. It's such a very simple emotional filter of persisting fear and anger: thus, sadly widespread. A person of lower base empathy does not require justification to themselves to engage with it, and cognitive dissonance, continually present, allows all sorts of contradictory th…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	29/10/21 01:41 AM
10	Netflix is a vile, misandrist cesspit of hate There's a reason Fleabag is still the best show with a woman protagonist, and one of the best, period: it doesn't shy away from portraying everyone as humans. Horribly, gloriously flawed humans. The main character is a terrible person--as well as highly sympathetic. It's complicated. Human.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	27/10/21 09:40 PM
2	Have you read the Brief History of Misogyny? What did you think about it? Another way to put the idea is, while thinking on these things, recall that all war is class war at its basest level. Then keep in mind that 'class' is not a defined person or persons, but rather our natures. And then keep in mind that all of this is not some simple aphorism meant to shut down discussion, but rather a framework through which events can be filtered to distill deeper understandings. Trying to narrowly define something so complex as greater or lesser assumes some fixed valuation, w…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	16/10/21 08:27 PM
2	Belgium: An incel facing exceptionnal trial by jury for hatespeech People aren't their genetics--except when they are. You cannot understand another whose genetics and subsequent life differ--except when your own brain 'decides' otherwise. Neural atypicality is quite a complication for what I'd warrant to say is the dominant view of 'social justice' in the Western world and its adjacents, as it's a more conspicuous display of genetics influencing who we are. And the more pronounced the divergence, the more horrible the examples of oppression going back through …	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	12/10/21 07:55 PM
39	An anthropologist at Harvard arguing that "we really need to get rid of males". An anthropologist making the assumption (or at least arguing from the position) that biological sex is the only, or even primary influencing factor of violent behavior, despite a huge body of evidence contradicting it? I mean, really? And I'm sure some think they can just make an algorithm (biased by whichever data they choose to utilize, as well as that of the creator's themselves) to figure it out for us, washing their hands of the affair.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	11/10/21 07:58 PM
23	I am a woman. I am autistic. I don't see how this sub is supposedly misogynistic or hateful. A slow twisting of ideology towards more fanatical thought. It seems inevitable with any human organization: As it grows in influence, those who veer more towards seeking power rather than being driven by altruism creep into the ranks. Those capable of masking their lack of empathy rise into leadership positions, as the empathic rarely want to lead. From there--and especially when dealing with issues rightfully emotionally wrought--those who actually ARE acting upon empathic imperatives can, unf…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	04/10/21 10:24 PM
