| 1 | Are Men Inferior to Women? Her Campus Article Defends Teaching 5-Year-Olds Misandry as "Necessary">because as far as I had been told, women were braver, more curious, and more intelligent. I want to focus on this claim in particular. Women are more curious according to the Greater Good Curiosity Quiz. But, that might be due to women being more likely to answer "yes" to questions on surveys. https://greatergood.berkeley.edu/article/item/how_curious_are_people_from_different_backgrounds More importantly, they don't tell you their sampling methodology. It looks like those results are based on a… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 18/07/26 04:55 AM |

"Progressive." just means "Democrat." People think that these words have trans historical meanings. But they don't. It used to be that "conservatives" opposed cutting the income tax. It used to be that "progressives" supported eugenics. Women are more democratic than men. But men and women under 30 are both more Democratic than people over 3… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 25/06/26 08:08 PM |

Its not like male beauty standards are neutral or anti-sexist. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 17/06/26 05:45 AM |

But if you look at experimental administration of exogenous testosterone, then there is no relationship between testosterone and aggression. https://www.semanticscholar.org/paper/Is-testosterone-linked-to-human-aggression-A-of-the-Geniole-Geniole/b57b9b63bdff2c3cd09a5d7379bbd5c5f04f2494 Also, there is no acade… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 30/12/25 10:49 PM |
| 1 | Men are opening up about mental health to AI instead of humansDo these A.I. companies track the gender identity of their users? If not, then how do we know that men are using A.I. as therapists more than women and non-binary people are? If we don't know that, then phrasing it as "men are opening up to A.I. instead of humans." is disingenuous. It should be "Humans are opening up to A.I. instead of a therapist." | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 02/07/25 10:34 PM |

| 7 | the neo masculinity reform movement a game changer and my brain child.>🔥 Trans women do not need surgery to be valid. The medical industry has weaponized gender transition, forcing trans women to undergo medical procedures to be socially accepted rather than allowing fluid identity formation. As a trans woman, the medical industry never forced me to undergo medical procedures to be accepted as a woman. In fact, they hindered me from getting hormone replacement therapy.

But, if the society whose population being replaced is inherently oppressive to women, then what stake do women have in that society surviving? The internal logic doesn't hold up.

Most men who are sexually assaulted report female perpetrators. Also, most of the male inmates who have sex with female correctional officers are minors. So the idea that they are not victims is very dubious. https://malesurvivor.nz/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/StempleFloresMeyer2016femaleperpetators.pdfAlso, "considered the other way around" by whom?

In American English, "left wing" just means "whatever the democrats are doing." similarly, right-wing just means "whatever the Republicans are doing." The entire left-right division in politics is socially constructed and causes more problems than it solves. You can read more about it in "The Myth of Left and Right."

It was between the 1920's to the 1960's when the 2 parties slowly swapped platforms. That is not what Lewis and Lewis said in the "The Myth of Left and Right" They say that there wasn't really a left-wing party or a right-wing party in America until FDR's new deal. Then, being left-wing meant being in favor of a large, active government, both in foreign policy and domestic policy. So pro welfare st… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 16/02/25 12:52 AM |
| 10 | I thought r/men was a neutral sub for men. But they’re as censorious as men’s lib.Making it illegal to criticize the left is problematic because "The left" in America, is just whatever the current democratic party is doing. For example, it used to be that being on the "the left" meant being pro-war. But that changed once the Democrats turned against war. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 15/02/25 12:47 AM |

Yet I’m sure they don’t see that as all women being violent killersWomen also have access to guns. So the pivot at the end to weapons access makes no sense. Its true that men and women have the same rates of serious mental illness. But the kinds of illness are different. Women are more prone to depression. Men are more prone to substance abuse. So it isn't an entirely fair comparison.

| 5 | I can't make this shit up...Something else they got set up yesterday was an "Inequality Bakesale." In this bakesale, the males had to pay more for the same goods as the girls, I don't have the exact numbers for everything they sold, but for example, guys had to pay 70 cents for a muffin, and girls 50 cents. They said they did this to know what it's like to have to pay more (proportionally). Biggest problem is this one, since women actually control most consumer spending. They make less money, but they spend more of other p… | /r/MensRights | 13/11/18 11:07 PM |
| 11 | So I tried to talk to my family about my feeling towards my circumcision...I tried to talk to my parents about this. It went terribly. I couldn't bring myself to open up about my own feelings. So I kept just repeating other people's arguments about it. My dad kept trying to change the subject. My mom just said that the doctor told her that "Boys like to look like their dad ( in terms of penis)." Just realized that that makes no sense. Guys don't routinely compare dicks with their dads. | /r/MensRights | 04/11/18 07:22 AM |

And the stuff on men and masculinity that they want us to look at is all about men wronging others. Not the problems that men face.

| 1 | A feminist is calling for all men who accidentally impregate a woman to be forcibly castrated, and for all males in the US to receive vasectomies at the onset of puberty. Thousands of people are agreeing with her - and this is perfectly acceptable to Twitter’s moderating team.Where did you hear that? | /r/MensRights | 16/09/18 10:10 AM |

Thousands of people are agreeing with her - and this is perfectly acceptable to Twitter’s moderating team.There is a female birth control pill. But not a male birth control pill. So really its the woman who is in the best position to prevent pregnancy. So putting all the responsibility of preventing it on the male makes no sense. The point is that the phrase "irresponsible ejaculations" begs the question. | /r/MensRights | 16/09/18 04:37 AM |

Be responsible with money in domestic/romantic relationships. Know that if you are irresponsible with money, this necessarily impacts your partner and since women still make less than men overall (and live longer), this is a feminist issue." Why are they talking about living longer like its a disadvantage?

| 11 | Feminism is a doctrine designed to dominate men and to train them to abandon their self interest. See if you can find hypocrisy and dishonesty in the training manual."4. Give women space." If you exclude homicide, there is no statistically significant difference in the rate at which men and women experience violence. https://www.bjs.gov/index.cfm?ty=pbdetail&iid=6166. Most victims of homicide are male. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homicide_statistics_by_gender. So I am confident in saying that men are actually more likely to be a victim of inter-personal violence than women. So why are women so afraid of violence? | /r/MensRights | 14/09/18 08:49 AM |

I have a sleep disorder that makes it really hard, or impossible, for me to get a job and move out of the house. I can't really express my feelings to my parents because our worldviews are so different on everything. So my big problem was just finding someone I trusted enough to express feelings and vulnerability too. | /r/MensRights | 19/08/18 06:14 AM |
