| 5 | Is The Left For Men Anymore?I can't read the words "Classical Liberal" without thinking of Sargon of Akkad. And he is a staunch right winger and Reform advocate. Consequently as a fellow Brit, I am unsure exactly where to place you politically. The point of being left wing for me is to support change and progress that I believe takes us towards a fairer outcome for society - I am left wing because my values are left wing. Not because I think the left is 'doing anything' for me. That's a very right wing mindset, the idea th… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 30/10/25 09:11 PM |
| 34 | Millennial dads are experiencing something mums have known for a long time | Gaby HinsliffThe guardian is so blinkered on this stuff. It wasnt that long ago they were publishing op eds titled "why i hate men". I remember one that downplayed domestic violence against men too. As for the content, I havent seen this world where women worked and did all the childcare. I know precisely no couples that operated in that way. Indeed my own dad, 40 years ago, was working and coming home to play with/tend to his kids even as my mum sat around watching daytime TV as a "housewife". Granted, anec… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 18/10/25 10:30 AM |
| 2 | Should we start telling feminists that, if they want our support to restore abortion protections in the US, it's only fair that they support men's reproductive rights too?Indeed - made all the more infuriating by the fact that the woman in that court case deceived the man into the situation to start with by pretending she was on birth control specifically to get pregnant. I agree anyway with basically everything you've said. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 16/10/25 02:49 AM |
| 0 | Should we start telling feminists that, if they want our support to restore abortion protections in the US, it's only fair that they support men's reproductive rights too?I feel like you're not quite grasping the point I'm making. You're trying to argue this from the point of view of a logical argument against the status quo. That's fine, I understand what you're saying. The problem is I'm not making an argument. I am simply observing that the legal system itself says that the reason it works in this way is to protect the child. You can take issue with this all you want, but your issue is with the legal system, not me. I am simply stating the law's justification … | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 15/10/25 08:44 PM |
| 0 | Should we start telling feminists that, if they want our support to restore abortion protections in the US, it's only fair that they support men's reproductive rights too?Yes, I'm aware that's the point they're making. I just don't see why we can't have both. Why can't we create a unified approach that recognises the struggle of life in all forms and seeks to speak to those points? I would argue that this should be the ideal form of left wing thought, and that embracing it now would in actual fact lead it towards all the outcomes it wants more quickly, by building consensus amongst different social groups. I would contend that many on the left are more interested… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 15/10/25 05:25 PM |
| 6 | Should we start telling feminists that, if they want our support to restore abortion protections in the US, it's only fair that they support men's reproductive rights too?I do completely understand that. I think there's a reckoning coming either way in the end, the left/feminism is simply going to have to reach across the aisle and actually do what it claims it is doing - offer something for everyone. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 15/10/25 01:55 PM |
| 3 | Should we start telling feminists that, if they want our support to restore abortion protections in the US, it's only fair that they support men's reproductive rights too?For clarity, I was simply noting that this is how the law - as it has been explained to me at least -is set up around this point. The law considers the child's right to financial support as superseding the man's right to choose in this situation. That is the legal justification for the situation. I am not saying that makes it the ethical choice, or the right thing to do. Just that this whole discussion is often framed as something women do to men and in reality it's something the child does to t… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 15/10/25 01:41 PM |
| 9 | Should we start telling feminists that, if they want our support to restore abortion protections in the US, it's only fair that they support men's reproductive rights too?I'm not really talking about individual cases though, you will of course find people on all sides and in all groups that are 'bad people'. I am saying that in general your average 'straight white man' on the left gets no direct benefit to being socially left wing, and yet advocates for the needs of others anyway. This puts him in a different bracket to a female feminist advocating essentially for herself and her own outcomes - and we see this discrepancy when it comes to asking such feminists to… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 15/10/25 01:26 PM |
| 4 | Should we start telling feminists that, if they want our support to restore abortion protections in the US, it's only fair that they support men's reproductive rights too?I agree, this is the sane take on that problem to my eyes. I suspect most people here would accept it too. I'm a bit less sure society at large would. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 15/10/25 01:18 PM |
| 0 | Should we start telling feminists that, if they want our support to restore abortion protections in the US, it's only fair that they support men's reproductive rights too?Fair enough. My route to the left came out of Christianity, the European interpretation of which is about suffering and still doing the right thing regardless (at least that was my takeaway, not that I'm religious anymore). As such, it feels natural to me to at least attempt to prioritise the principle I subscribe to over my own outcome and to de-centre myself from what is 'right'. Women should be able to have abortions, that is something I think is right. That stands alone as something I should… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 15/10/25 01:13 PM |
| -2 | Should we start telling feminists that, if they want our support to restore abortion protections in the US, it's only fair that they support men's reproductive rights too?I agree with you, I don't think what is being suggested here is the answer. We should act based on our principles at all times, not compromise and trade favours. We should all be supporting each other. That being said, I do feel that left wing men are probably amongst the most compassionate people out there at times - they're really the only group on the left that has everything to lose and nothing to gain in the things they advocate for when it comes to social progress. None of the causes they … | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 15/10/25 12:25 PM |
| 1 | A man needs to emotionally support his female partner; but reciprocation is mankeeping, which is oppressive and misogynistic.I'm not a million miles off being communist as it is, this is a left wing sub after all. I also didn't say it had never helped anyone, it's just failing women and men in present form by not delivering what both actually need to enable each other to be better partners. Anyway, I'm aware you're on a windup here. Sorry that the discourse is threatening. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 14/10/25 04:34 PM |
| 5 | A man needs to emotionally support his female partner; but reciprocation is mankeeping, which is oppressive and misogynistic.Fair points, though I don't think this is all modern women by any stretch, my partner is certainly attentive and supportive to my emotional wellbeing. It may well be true that I am moreso to hers, but she is going through greater challenges presently than I am. What I do think is that there is a conflict within feminism about this point - it claims a man should open up but simultaneously claims that he shouldn't burden women with his feelings. My gut feel is there is no coherency to what feminis… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 13/10/25 04:59 PM |

| 24 | Harvard professor Richard Wrangham thinks it is a 'very good idea' to eliminate human males from existenceI mean tbh, give it a few decades and we won't need women for reproduction either. Added to that we'll have AI inside humanoid robots which will be close enough to pass for the real thing that we'll cure the male loneliness epidemic in one fell swoop. Whether all this 'progress' is a win for humankind, I don't know. But if there is a worldwide cull on males, I think the remaining women will be surprised at how aggressive they are with each other, and how pointless life would be. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 18/08/25 08:28 PM |
| 2 | I genuinely can't understand how so many people don't see the hypocrisy in calling oneself "pro-choice" while opposing paper abortion.In which case fair enough, but what if that is actually the situation? My original point here is that for all feminists rattle off how this is some sort of punishment for men etc etc, in reality it's a product of considerations around the child rather than the woman. I find it easier to handle on that level. Useful chat tbf. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 18/08/25 02:38 AM |
| 1 | I genuinely can't understand how so many people don't see the hypocrisy in calling oneself "pro-choice" while opposing paper abortion.I went back to abortion because it is the point being argued as the starting premise - so in essence I was restating the case in an attempt to underline why the situation is treated the way it is. I appreciate that you have introduced adoption into this but as I said at the start of my post, the financial responsibility is transferred in full at that point. Seemingly the rule is that if the child has no parents willing to take it on, then the state has to step in. So I suppose the inevitable que… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 18/08/25 01:23 AM |
| 0 | I genuinely can't understand how so many people don't see the hypocrisy in calling oneself "pro-choice" while opposing paper abortion.If she does that, it is transferred into the hands of others via the state. The child is still provided for. You may consider that this argument holds no weight, and I'm not going to argue with you really, but this is the legal reason for the situation at least insofar as it has been explained to me. It is not that the law is prejudiced against men because they are men, it is a byproduct of other realities coming to the fore. 1 - A woman can abort a child unilaterally because it is her body and … | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 18/08/25 12:56 AM |
| 1 | I genuinely can't understand how so many people don't see the hypocrisy in calling oneself "pro-choice" while opposing paper abortion.Well, fair enough then. Like I said, I agree that men should be able to walk away but the argument here isn't really men vs women's rights, it's about the state versus men's rights. The child has a right to be provided for naturally, it is unfair to expect anything less - so if we want progress on this, we need to take on the state, | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 17/08/25 04:18 PM |
| 1 | I genuinely can't understand how so many people don't see the hypocrisy in calling oneself "pro-choice" while opposing paper abortion.Agreed, as said in a separate comment, that would resolve the issue. But you'd have to get that past the right wingers who would resist it on the basis of state intervention. "Why are we paying for other people's kids" | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 17/08/25 04:05 PM |
| 1 | I genuinely can't understand how so many people don't see the hypocrisy in calling oneself "pro-choice" while opposing paper abortion.So the fallback of the state stepping in is fine in my mind, I want to be clear that I agree with the wider opinion on this issue in this sub. I'm just observing that the legal situation isnt favouring women over men, its favouring children over their fathers. If we take a separate action to ensure for the child's wellbeing that doesnt implicate the father, then the law would presumably not insist on the father remaining in the picture. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 17/08/25 03:39 PM |
| 6 | I genuinely can't understand how so many people don't see the hypocrisy in calling oneself "pro-choice" while opposing paper abortion.I will agree that it is a convenient argument for feminists that suits their purposes rather than being something they would hold to on principle, but as far as law goes, this is apparently why men do not get to walk away. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 17/08/25 12:08 PM |
| -5 | I genuinely can't understand how so many people don't see the hypocrisy in calling oneself "pro-choice" while opposing paper abortion.I heard an actually good argument on this front - not that im saying i agree with it completely but it does at least take the dynamic away from male and female. The gist is that if a man could choose to be absent in a way that didn't impact the child once it is a human being with rights, there would be no issue. The problem comes in because its not the man vs the woman, its the man vs the child. And the child takes priority in that case with a 'right' to expect financial support from its parent.… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 17/08/25 09:56 AM |
| 5 | If the people on this sub are opposed to feminism, how do we solve mens' issues while also solving the issues affecting women?I'm curious which laws they are - I'm UK based, lived in Scotland for a while within it. Not a challenge, just curious. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 02/07/25 09:10 PM |
| 1 | How do we decouple the unspoken idea that a woman’s sexual selection of a man is a form of cosmic justice that rewards him for being a good man?Appreciate I'm late to the party, only just found this sub, but this post is utterly superb. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 02/07/25 08:01 PM |
