1	Why exactly is there less compassion for male rape victims? I really don't understand. There are a few things leading to the typical response to male rape the major three are IMO the following. Empathy Gap Societal Male Expectations Most people do not understand (nor want to) what rape is The Empathy Gap isn't really an explanation as much as a verified observation There are quite a lot of guesses as to why it exists but there is to my knowledge no verified reason/s. The observation is that in almost all cases from per-birth to after death, both men and women in any given situatio…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	04/08/26 02:20 PM
5	Patriarchy When the term Patriarchy is used on any forums about or tangential to feminism it's almost always referring to a nebulous concept of a concerted design that subjugates/harms woman and girls and promotes/benefits men and boys. It is hard to be at all more specific as there are a plethora of different feminist branches and each one views this idea differently. Aside but Relevant Often confounded/or purposely confused with a patriarchal society: ...a social structure where men hold primary power an…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	04/06/26 07:33 PM
6	Genuinely curious where women get the idea men sexually assault men more than women There are at least two major factors here. (Excluding Bad Actors) Very few people deeply understand statistics, specifically their inherent limitations. Any person given multiple differ options on data to back their claims is far more likely to remember/choose/present those that are most biased toward their viewpoint. Neither of these are unique to feminists, men's activists/advocates are just as likely to be effected. Statistic Understanding First and most important a study or report of any kin…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	02/05/26 02:37 AM
3	Is it misandric or misandristic? misandric is correct. In english the -ic suffix means relating to or characterized by, whereas -ist means one (a person) who does an action. Related to misandry is misandric A person who practices misandry is a misandrist. On a related note the term misogynistic makes little sense linguistically. As it means anything related to what a misogynist might do including things unrelated to misogyny so peanut butter eating would be just as misogynistic as beating a women if you saw a misogynist eating …	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	15/04/26 07:29 PM
4	Debate over the term "sexism" There is an easier way to deal with people trying to do this and similar things. When you label something sexism your signaling that this behavior is shameful when they equivocate the definition they are trying to avoid associating with it as shameful. Almost anyone who tries to equivocate like this has two qualities: They are, have, are planning too, or support others who participate in that behavior. To some degree feel some degree of guilt because if they did not there is little reason to try…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	30/03/26 09:03 AM
4	Liberal feminism uses men as a scapegoat for the failures of capitalism Capitalism otoh with all its flaws rely on self-organization according to some key rules. There is only one rule of capitalism that is essential to it, that being that access to money ensures continuation and the more you have the less chance you have of failure. If you look at the corporate world today and compare it to the past it is quite apparent that the general trend is fewer corporations that are larger and are controlled by less and less people. Many people sing the praises of capitalism…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	23/03/26 08:02 AM
7	Thoughts on Bell Hooks? I just don't think "Patriarchy Theory" can achieve this. I don't think men can fix the Male Gender Role on our own, and I think that gender role is the major block in reaching gender equality. It's doubtful men can fix or change the male gender role at all at a societal level. For most men their morals/ethics originate or are influenced early in life by parents, teachers and peers but in each case the morals/ethics are heavily policed by females if not outright predominately female centric. Pare…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	16/03/26 02:47 AM
2	Homelessness and Men (thoughts on feminist arguments) Stats are often skewed to count only rough sleeping in terms of “homelessness” ass there are many women who are effectively homeless (sleeping or couching at a friends house, having less visible forms of homelessness) These are some of the problems with the above argument: This broadens the definition of homelessness in such a way that the resultant numbers becomes what is desired by the biased augmenter. The definition addition should not be based on a specific circumstance but broad conditions…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	31/01/26 01:01 AM
