10	How open is this sub to working with feminists? Two things first: I assume you're operating in good faith, regardless of what I may think of feminism as a whole. Otherwise, there's little point for me to respond. I'm not a Tater tot, so any defense of your cited male relative or Tate is incidental. From my standpoint, I don't see much point in working with feminists. Even if you recognize and want to distance yourself from fanaticism in your neck of the woods (which I appreciate!), you and I still have foundational, irreconcilable ideological…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	12/12/24 07:32 AM
2	Are you worried about the consequences of the fertility rates going down in developed countries? It had to happen at some point or else it would lead to our extinction. Perpetual population growth on a planet of finite resources is unsustainable, especially when the developed world demands ever more resources per capita. I'm not denying any of the problems of population falling into decline, just saying that both directions of population change have major looming problems. Hell, it's likely that even with the population increase deceleration starting now, it might be too late to avert globa…	/r/MensRights	15/07/24 08:31 AM
9	I keep hearing people say that men are generally only allowed to express anger, but in my life I’ve never even seen that allowed. People who say that have never been a man with a pathetic voice. My voice sounds like a castrated 12 year-old putting on a facetious conceited affectation. If I get visibly or vocally angry, people aren't scared, most either laugh or treat me like a child.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	29/05/24 07:23 AM
61	Is Male Loneliness Self-Inflicted? Loneliness is one of the only problems that you CAN'T fix on your own, no matter how hard you try. Do people who fall into depressive, asocial cycles tend to acclimate to it and develop a sense of inertia about making effort to change, even if they have the means to do so? Yes, they do; I have been guilty of this myself. If this was the full extent of the feminist position, I would have no objections to it. However, let's say that man drums up the willpower to take decisive action: He signs up f…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	03/04/24 08:12 AM
29	Does anybody else realise… I might have just coined that exact term right now, but it's when a Confederacy apologist says "the Civil War was about states' rights," all you have to do to is ask "states' rights to do what?"	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	30/12/23 11:06 AM
26	Does anybody else realise… The term "pick me" is slut shaming. Seriously, just adapt the Confederacy checkmate and ask them "pick her to do what?"	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	30/12/23 09:18 AM
5	"You should read Bell Hooks" a semi-rant about the experience of talking to feminists The most important thing to know about feminists, even more important than the fact that the single core statement their entire ideology rests upon is a fallacy of composition which directly stems from hypergamy bias, is that they explicitly reject empiricism. Sorry to take a page out of their playbook, but for more background on this I'd highly recommend watching this series on the science wars and this video on the philosophical origins of feminism. Once you understand that feminists are not o…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	16/11/23 05:06 AM
1	How do you see the future in 10-20 years? Will politics be forced in the long run to look at men’s issues from a non-feminist perspective? Probably not to any significant degree (outside of niche internet spaces like this one) within my lifetime. Will the left be forced to really look at men because alarmingly many will turn to the populist right? What color do you want your dragon, or does it not matter because you're blind? We already know how they react to that exact stimulus, one or both of two options: 1) Triple down on continuing …	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	31/10/23 06:54 AM
22	Are “incels” bad? This should be required reading on this topic.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	02/09/23 10:42 PM
137	What's up with Feminists claiming that women are mostly unfazed by muscular men? It's virtue-signaling lies all the way down. If feminists convince someone that women aren't attracted to muscular men, it achieves the following: Prevents the interlocutor from asserting that any women are shallow to any degree Asserts that only men are shallow for being attracted most to physically fit women Deceives the interlocutor into believing that women's sexual preferences are (and implies that you can and should conform yours to be) morally virtuous and informed by political ideology A…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	18/08/23 11:32 PM
12	As a woman, what can I do to be more supportive towards men? First off, the title of this post is an indication that you're in a supportive frame of mind. That alone is further than a lot of people go. I found it so sad to read and I offered my support and explained that I actually find it an attractive quality when men are open about their feelings and cry sometimes. It wasn't taken very well and I got a lot of replies/ messages telling me I was a liar I was full of s***, im trying to manipulate them etc. This reaction comes down to the fact that the att…	/r/MensRights	23/06/22 06:09 PM
11	Men’s Issues are a Joke. More than that, it's slut shaming. What else do you think "pick me" could possibly be referring to? And if you need further confirmation, just ask a feminist "pick her to do what?" or "what does she want male approval to do?" and see how fast you get banned.	/r/MensRights	10/06/22 07:31 AM
9	Coding Female to Male Affection Giving as "Motherly"? Oh, funny you should mention that: My parents actually home schooled me too, but only for 6-8th grade, in large part to ensure that I wouldn't go to sex education. I was also the only kid in my entire fifth grade whose parents opted them out of human growth & development/preliminary sex ed. They would've home schooled me all through high school too, were it not for the fact that my mom admitted that she could not teach me or my siblings most subjects a high school level. As a result, I think tha…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	07/05/22 01:53 PM
20	Coding Female to Male Affection Giving as "Motherly"? Oh, man, I could talk about this for hours. Let's see if I can keep my comment shorter than a novella. This issue practically guarantees that I (and presumably many other men in a position like mine) will never have any kind of romantic or sexual experience ever again. First, some background: I grew up in a fundamentalist religious household so I obeyed my parents' condemnation of premarital sex and believed that my future wife would be magically, deterministically placed in my life with no effo…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	07/05/22 09:17 AM
23	Looks like we are being discussed on /r/askfeminists I've had this thought for years (but I'm sure it's not entirely original). Feminism, and politics more generally, is replacing religion. Christianity is on a gradual decline in the US and the Western world more broadly, but there hasn't been a coincident rise in skepticism, empiricism, understanding of the psychology of belief change, nor anything else of the sort. Thus, most people are still operating on religious modes of thought and still yearn for religious community and moral certitude (and…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	02/02/22 07:55 AM
13	Looks like we are being discussed on /r/askfeminists This shit dashes any hope I might have left for society. How can I hope to put up any meaningful counternarrative when the leading, highly communicable pattern of sociopolitical thought is completely devoid of intellectual honesty? Feminists don't consider being empirically wrong on any point, no matter how small or ancillary, a possibility. They don't believe they are capable of logical fallacies (or even if they do, the ends justify the means), so they just lead with them. They believe that ev…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	02/02/22 07:15 AM
29	The myth of incels and self-worth well maybe try living a few years in their shoes? I doubt most people would even last two weeks.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	02/09/21 01:11 AM
21	How has feminist shaming/normalized misandry harmed you? I grew up in a fundamentalist Christian household which was extremely damaging to my sexuality and social development. When I first started to make my way out of the faith, I thought I'd be heading into a refreshing new world where I wouldn't be shamed anymore for aspects of who I am which are beyond my control, that I wouldn't be blamed for actions of my (or other people's) long-dead ancestors, and that I wouldn't have to contend with such a high degree of logical fallacy and dogmatism anymore.…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	25/07/21 03:49 PM
8	Excellent Leftist Anti-Feminist Site Not to sound like I'm simping for her too hard, but Prim is a goddamn unicorn. I have never seen another woman on a public forum espouse the same combination of positions that she does. Even the women among the Honey Badger people she's adjacent to seem substantially further right than she is on economic and other social issues (such as taxation and anti-abortion).	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	21/07/21 07:01 AM
20	Has anyone else noticed a general hostility towards men on the autism spectrum within leftist spaces? The chief reason for this (but not the only one) is that having autism doesn't make us not men. As such, we still must be treated according to that inexorable original sin ascribed to us. It doesn't matter if I've never lifted a finger toward a woman, it doesn't matter that conflict terrifies me to the point that I could never bring myself to even attempt socially or physically dominating a woman, and it doesn't matter how readily some socially failed men will bend to a woman's every whim (wheth…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	21/07/21 06:34 AM
6	Hey virgins. Let go of your shame. It's hard to know exactly how many, it may not even be a majority, but a significant portion of people do care and do use sex as a metric of social worth. It's funny that you should mention anime because I actually forbid myself from watching any (despite two of my closest friends being huge JoJo's fans) solely because I can't afford to adopt any more traits that can be associated with my virginity. You're correct that confident posturing will reduce the likelihood of people people making fun of…	/r/seduction	16/10/18 09:03 PM
26	Hey virgins. Let go of your shame. You seem to misunderstand where a lot of virgin anxiety comes from. A good portion of it is internally produced as you say, but another (and I would argue larger) portion of it is rooted externally in social expectations. If I tell someone that I'm a 23 year-old virgin, this is loaded to the brim with numerous implications. Sex is not simply a choice of leisure activity completely isolated from all other matters, it is an indispensable developmental milestone and barometer. If I am many years be…	/r/seduction	16/10/18 06:45 AM
