| 9 | Legal Consequences of Getting RapedHave you gotten any productive reactions? | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 06/12/24 05:38 AM |
| 12 | Did anyone get an archive of the comics situation?Someone linked to it on one of this sub's recent posts. I haven't thoroughly read the linked comment, but someone in SubredditDrama left their observations on inconsistencies in Afraid_To_Try32's post/comment history: https://www.reddit.com/r/SubredditDrama/comments/1e0refc/comment/lcpejjl/ Now that it's in contention whether it's true or not, I don't think the post itself can be used as strong evidence for how men are assaulted and ignored. However, that means the experiences men posted in resp… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 13/07/24 08:06 PM |
| 29 | Is all this a good use of our time?This is why they say ignorance is bliss. Once you see things a certain way, it's hard, if not impossible, to go back to the way things were. I get how you feel. I agree with what u/Educational_Mud_9062 wrote, I just want to add some of my thoughts. This place does not only exist for established members, but also for newcomers. If discussion ends and the sub dies, that's one less place for positive, quality discussion about male issues. There are other, similar subs, but the ones I've seen are sm… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 17/05/24 02:18 AM |
| 3 | What would Cointelpro do?Just want to reiterate how horrible the block function is for discussion and debate. It's an absolutely terrible implementation of a block feature. It's a tool ripe for abuse. When I was blocked by someone, I didn't realize I couldn't reply to other people who replied to the blocker. I didn't know what was going on until I poked around help threads, and I found it unbelievable. It's a swift and silent way to stifle people, and I don't know if it was made that way out of laziness, malintent, or b… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 15/05/24 02:36 AM |
| 13 | A New York politician cheering on the protest against a men’s shelterYeah, I'm not a fan of it either. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 19/03/24 09:45 PM |
| 13 | A New York politician cheering on the protest against a men’s shelterThere seems to be more nuanced discussion about it on the r/nyc sub. Link: https://www.reddit.com/r/nyc/comments/1bhc9lb/brooklyn_residents_protest_proposed_homeless/. Seems like the worries are about the shelter's location and the potential increase in crime if the proper wraparound services aren't provided to help people get their lives back on track. Although, it being a men's shelter probably doesn't help with optics as opposed to if it were a women's or family shelter like you said, u/Stand… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 19/03/24 09:32 PM |
| 1 | I majored in Gender Studies (Australia) AMAI'll have to read up on it then, thanks. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 05/03/24 11:53 PM |
| 1 | Anyone else wary of public spaces?This is how lynchings used to happen, it is how 'cancel culture' has happened More and more people need to keep making this connection and calling it out. Opening the door wider and wider to mob justice and no due process makes society so, so, SO much worse. Violence and economic exclusion do nothing to solve problems, they only harm the vulnerable and embolden false accusers and supremacists of various types. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 04/03/24 01:55 AM |
| 1 | I majored in Gender Studies (Australia) AMAFrom what I've read about the origins of intersectionality, it looks like it started off as a useful tool for highlighting how the overlap between a person's different identities can create certain kinds of struggles others are less likely to face. But what people have done with it since then is the real issue. Instead of keeping it as a useful analytical tool to address everybody's struggles, identity politics-supporters have turned it into a weapon to minimize certain groups' struggles. I find… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 04/03/24 01:19 AM |
| 1 | Came across a 17-year old post critiquing how feminism is used to promote continuing guilt in men.I posted this in breadtube, doubt it will get traction there. The post was removed over there, so I'm going to go off of your TL;DR. heteronormative complex with a significant queer component What, exactly, is the definition of that? I might have an idea, but it's not entirely clear to me. And can you clarify what you mean by "significant queer component"? EDIT: Never mind, I found your definition on another post. These are also the same folks that tear apart our organizing efforts on the ground… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 24/02/24 04:22 AM |
| 7 | I majored in Gender Studies (Australia) AMALike we can add an infinite number of categories to intersectionality making determining who is more privileged a big mess. Maybe that mess is preferable though. What you're saying sounds to me like people seeing life as more than a mythological struggle or sociological model and fully acknowledging, "People are complex human beings and have different life stories, so making judgments based solely on the visual information I have in front of me isn't a totally reliable process." That sounds grea… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 24/02/24 04:05 AM |
| 1 | Came across a 17-year old post critiquing how feminism is used to promote continuing guilt in men.Sorry for the late reply. People just don't apply these concepts to their own lives or the people around them in a self-critical way. I see what you mean. I think part of the problem is a lot of people hold onto whatever messages make them feel superior to other people over what makes them feel temporarily guilty but would actually help them grow. If they don't think people should internalize/actualize these ideas, the advocates for these ideas should come right out and say it rather than hoping… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 13/02/24 02:10 AM |
| 3 | Feminism should be assertive, but it does not have to be antagonistic.Thank you for the kind words. Why bother being objective at all, we have no chance of getting a word in on it own issues let alone valid criticism. The way I see it, we can't fight fire with fire. That turns people away. If I didn't find this sub, I would've thought men's rights would be much more of an uphill battle given how divisive r/MensRights can be and uncritical r/MensLib can be. But this place was a breath of fresh air. If we lost objectivity, how many people might we lose think there's… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 07/02/24 08:09 PM |
| 1 | Feminism should be assertive, but it does not have to be antagonistic.We shouldn't give feminism the benefit of doubt, the only possible way forward is to dismantle this ideology based on conspiracy theories. Not feminism as a whole, but individual feminists who straddle the line. I think some can be convinced to work for men's rights even if they don't leave the broader feminist movement. It's not be an ideal situation, but not trying to reason with moderates means we ignore a group of potential advocates. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 07/02/24 07:31 PM |
| -1 | Feminism should be assertive, but it does not have to be antagonistic.Our societies put children and women needs first and almost always has - hence our success and survival up until this point. It has put their material well-being first, but there's a difference between a group surviving and a group thriving. Children and women have survived, but I think society has historically kept them from thriving by trying to fit their personalities and roles into boxes. "Children are to be seen not heard" and "women should be submissive" come to mind. Feminists cannot be c… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 07/02/24 07:21 PM |
| 2 | Came across a 17-year old post critiquing how feminism is used to promote continuing guilt in men.They're not even investigating if something is actually the result of inequality, say, questioning the makeup of a department where a male friend just got hired on to make sure that their female representation is up to par. This simply isn't done. They're just not even thinking about it. Does the "they" here mean men in general or feminists in general? My argument is that these Progressive ideas, to the holders, largely live in this theoretical space that "unbounds" how radical they can actually… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 07/02/24 02:49 AM |
| 2 | Came across a 17-year old post critiquing how feminism is used to promote continuing guilt in men.I actually don't believe "feminism" exists. I mean obviously it does. But I think it's more complicated than that. I believe that there's a second political axis, basically from pluralist to authoritarian, and Progressive is on the top, authoritarian half, and Liberal is on the bottom, pluralist half. I absolutely agree. I've thought about how feminism is rather splintered, like religion has denominations or political parties have factions. At the broadest level, the major goals or beliefs are t… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 07/02/24 02:24 AM |
| 3 | Came across a 17-year old post critiquing how feminism is used to promote continuing guilt in men.Thank you for the thoughtful reply. I think I'll make a more substantial reply in the coming days, but I did want to touch on a few things you said. I actually like to think of personality traits as being a big example of this. Our society does privilege and give preference for certain personality traits, some of them positive and some of them negative. But I think there's this big thing that we're not supposed to talk about this. I agree. Which traits do you have in mind? When I read that, I th… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 06/02/24 04:58 AM |
| 3 | Came across a 17-year old post critiquing how feminism is used to promote continuing guilt in men.I don't think all of feminism is currently unnecessary in that, without a strong egalitarian movement right now, women's concerns might be forgotten. We still have a long way to go in addressing and working through certain concerns. Failure to identify health issues in women comes to mind. But I absolutely do think we need an egalitarian movement, ideally with both a men's wing and a women's wing to make sure neither side gets forgotten, in my view. I wish I could say that the larger men's r… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 05/02/24 07:42 PM |
