4	Legalizing Sports Gambling Was a Huge Mistake - "problems seem to concentrate among young men living in low-income counties" Wish I knew. Twelve step programs aren't for everyone but showing up once definitely won't do anything. As it is, I'm getting close to giving up and closing the meeting I wound up chairing by default as nobody else has shown up in a month.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	28/09/24 12:55 PM
3	Legalizing Sports Gambling Was a Huge Mistake - "problems seem to concentrate among young men living in low-income counties" As someone who has spent a lot of time in casinos and now a lot of time sitting in various churches in recovery, all I will say is that while young men may be more into sports betting I've met people of all demographics and choice of betting. But what we've been seeing locally as gambling expands further with more legal or quasi-legal online options (and it was already pretty widespread here) is that we're getting fewer and fewer people. A lot of people who might show up once and never again.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	28/09/24 01:12 AM
6	If this passes, we will be oppressed equally. I'd support this. But again, there's zero value in getting away with it. Want a Pell grant or student loan? Applying for a job (government or contractor) that requires the ability to get a clearance? Heck, perhaps any government job? Looking to get an FHA loan for that house purchase? And so on. Sure, you'll probably "get away with it" in that you won't be prosecuted. But you've potentially made many parts of your life much harder. I'm sympathetic to the idea that even the Selective Service registration shouldn't…	/r/MensRights	11/07/24 08:38 PM
15	If this passes, we will be oppressed equally. I'd support this. Not really. It's already a requirement that every male citizen registers with the SSA or is legally blocked from a host of government programs. Federal grants for education is one of the more common examples.	/r/MensRights	11/07/24 04:22 PM
6	I’m starting to worry that the discourse is pulling me to the Right. At least in the US, I think the Democrats are pretty much riding a wave of the Republicans generally being so unacceptable that some people who consider themselves generally liberal or center find themselves stuck going Democrat if they vote at all. I think the Democrats are going to be in real trouble if the Republicans ever toss Trumpism and the hard right tilt of the last 15 years. There's definitely some people willing to go back to voting as Rockefeller Republicans out there. For that matte…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	10/06/24 04:29 PM
1	Boy Scouts Rebrand As 'Scouting America' To Boost Inclusivity I knew some girls who were under the BSA umbrella because they were in either Exploring or Venturing. While all troops in either organization are what the scouts (and more importantly, the adults) make of it, I'm well aware of the stereotype that GSA would never be as physical or outdoors as BSA, even if you disregard BSA properties like Philmont. I agree that the changes are not inherently bad. It's also worth pointing out that the strict division in the US was rare when it came to internationa…	/r/MensRights	08/05/24 05:18 PM

1	Gen Z men are leaning more conservative while Gen Z women are much more liberal There was an article in the New York Times awhile ago about how all branches of the US military are having trouble recruiting except for the Marines. Presumably because the Marines easily have the strongest brand and identity.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	29/01/24 04:46 PM
2	"Margot and Greta making a billion dollar movie but Ryan getting nominated is exactly the point the Barbie movie was trying to make" Dame Judi Dench was a great M. It probably helps that my first Bond movie was Goldeneye, but she always had a real presence even in the short amount of time she was on screen. And she was great with the extended time in Skyfall.	/r/MensRights	24/01/24 09:38 PM
4	'Disney's biggest flop yet': Star Wars fans say female-led next installment is destined to fail after 2015 comments from feminist director said her goal 'is to make men uncomfortable' The problem with Arrival, which I did enjoy, is that without the context of the original story (Story of Your Life by Ted Chiang) it's somewhat difficult to understand what's going on. The opening montage with her daughter is confusing and easily ignored until the very end of the film. It's a film (and a novella) as much about first contact as it is about a way of viewing the world and how language affects that. The important part is that Amy Adams' character learns to view the world and even ti…	/r/MensRights	04/01/24 04:16 PM
5	Why I believe in this unspoken 'footpath' rule that can indicate your boyfriend doesn't really love you OP: Women want special treatment and for men to sacrifice themselves! It's not really a TikTok "rule". I was taught it as a part of chivalry and general civilized behavior decades ago (Grandma insisted her grandsons were going to be perfect little Southern gentlemen) dating back centuries. Like a lot of behaviors, it's a sign of politeness and some chivalry, perhaps a bit old fashioned. Like holding doors for anyone, opening and closing car doors (mostly men for women), moving a chair for someone sitting down at a table (again, mostly men for women), saying hello …	/r/MensRights	08/11/23 07:15 PM
-3	I am a member of the Boy Scouts of America and I'm not a fan of girls joining. Showing my age here somewhat, but both Exploring and Venturing have been co-ed for decades. Frankly, there have always been girls who wanted to be part of mainline BSA because it gave them something that their local GSA organization couldn't or wouldn't and who came along on events. I generally think this is a good change, with the only better change of the last 20 years being the Mormons getting pissy and leaving.	/r/MensRights	04/10/23 04:05 PM
1	90% of Ukrainian prisoners of war tortured by Russia. Of course almost all are men, of course it's not mentioned Kipling is often worth quoting. You talk o' better food for us, an' schools, an' fires, an' all: We'll wait for extry rations if you treat us rational. Don't mess about the cook-room slops, but prove it to our face The Widow's Uniform is not the soldier-man's disgrace. For it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an` Chuck him out, the brute!

10	What's the Focus of Menslib? Any subreddit (and any other commenting space for that matter) that often has a majority of comments deleted is a sign that it is not a place to actually have a discussion.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	18/08/23 04:39 PM
-8	I am still trying to figure out what "emotional labor" means. Well, it can be if you're being told it while at work. As I said, the initial concept was exactly that sort of thing. If I remember correctly, the first person to really articulate the concept (Arlie Hochschild) has spoken out against the concept creep that the term has gone through.	/r/MensRights	15/08/23 06:17 PM
220	I am still trying to figure out what "emotional labor" means. The original concept of emotional labor isn't a bad one. It was mostly meant for workers in service jobs--cashiers, front of house staff, reception, counter agents, etc.--who have to look happy and be pleasant the entire time to customers and the public regardless of how they may be personally feeling. It got picked up and twisted (like a lot of concepts) into basically having to spend any time thinking about or keeping track of things. How a wife with a husband and children performs a bunch of …	/r/MensRights	15/08/23 03:42 PM
