5	as a trans man, how do i fit into male advocacy? Women on average now outperform men in education and employment up until they bear children. I think this is largely because the education system is terrible for young boys, but if men had significant privilege in the workplace they wouldn't be outperformed like this. If male privilege were ubiquitous, we'd be outperforming women across the board, which is just not the case.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	10/01/24 12:50 AM
14	as a trans man, how do i fit into male advocacy? The mainstream feminist movement has shut down men's rights activism at any chance it can get. Erin Pizzy, the woman who opened the first ever women's abuse shelter, was forced out of the feminist movement and is still demonised to this day for trying to open a men's abuse shelter. Likewise, Warren Farrell, who was one of the most prominent male feminists in the world in the 70s, was forced out of the movement when he started talking about the issues of men and boys. The same happened to Cassie …	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	10/01/24 12:47 AM
6	as a trans man, how do i fit into male advocacy? https://youtu.be/Ip7kP_dd6LU?si=J02-45A0XV3tBbQR Have you seen this mini documentary? It's about a feminist who dressed and acted male for a number of months. From what I recall she had a very different experience to what you described (could be wrong I haven't watched it in ages). You might find it interesting given your own transition.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	10/01/24 12:35 AM
0	I think that "Male privilege" dosent exist physical attractiveness matters for men far more than it does for women I don't agree with this. Men have many more routes to attractiveness than women (humour, charm, status etc). A woman's ability to attract a man is much more unidimensional. It's almost impossible for an extremely unattractive female to climb the dating ladder. But there's a wealth of things a guy can do. That said, being at the bottom of the hierarchy as a man is likely a much harsher and lonelier place than if you're a woma…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	31/12/23 10:26 AM
14	Have you ever heard a woman being called a loser? Do you remember a man being called a whore? It's the same thing. We shame women who have lots of sexual partners and we shame men who don't (in our eyes) make anything of their lives. Men and women are just valued for different reasons.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	09/11/23 05:16 AM
1	Have you ever heard a woman being called a loser? It's like the male equivalent of being called a whore. Women are valued on their looks and how selective of partners they are. If you dress overly sexually or offer sex too easily you're deemed a whore. Men are valued primarily on social status and what they earn/provide. If you don't earn and have low social status you're deemed a loser.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	09/11/23 05:11 AM
9	Down with patriarchy…. Wait… And girls outperform boys in education in virtually every metric. But that's just because "girls are better than boys" and not because of the system actually benefiting them.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	16/10/23 11:23 AM
1	The right-wing is harmful to men’s rights. Being told to "man up" can be a positive in certain circumstances and with the right intentions IMO, in a tough-love, encouraging kind of way. But it's literally never meant like that from feminists lol	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	28/09/23 10:14 AM
3	The right-wing is harmful to men’s rights. My take is that the extremes of both sides are bad for men's rights (and the world generally) and we shouldn't make enemies of moderates just because they disagree with us on some issues.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	28/09/23 10:10 AM
8	The expectation of men holding other men accountable and using their male privilege to help women plays a factor when it comes to hyper-agency for men. I'm convinced that much of the drive behind modern feminism is about casting aside personal responsibility and putting the blame on someone else. It gives you something you can blame in perpetuity for all your problems (men and the patriarchy). "Women should keep other women accountable" is something you'll never hear from modern feminists, as this implies that women have at least some agency and responsibility for their own actions. I honestly can't think of a less empowering mindset to have, i…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	26/09/23 09:28 AM
2	“We need to protect women” I hadn't heard that quote, that's horrific lol I mean even though I don't have sympathy with them, I think they're right on some issues. I don't think a man should just be able to identify as a woman and be able to enter a female toilet or prison. There are sick fucks out there who will take advantage of these kinds of rules (and already have). My point is the radical trans movement that many feminists now despise is a result of them establishing this victim hierarchy in which the "victims" are …	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	19/09/23 10:19 AM
1	“We need to protect women” What differences in nurture are there that cause physical strength difference and how exactly is that a result of discrimination and bigotry? All of the studies show a vast difference in strength between men and women in all societies. It is not a case of nurture. Now I will say that teaching women (and men) to defend themselves is at the end of the day the best way to protect them as you can't always rely on protection from someone else. But we should still recognise that most women are more vu…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	18/09/23 12:27 PM
-8	“We need to protect women” I get what you're saying dude, but at the end of the day, men are different to women. We shouldn't necessarily be treated exactly the same. We should recognise each others' unique troubles and strengths and weaknesses. Women are on average much physically weaker than men, so it makes sense that they need extra protection and that men are going to be the ones who provide it. It's only because feminism has spent the last few decades trying to convince everyone that women are exactly like men (and …	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	18/09/23 07:18 AM
14	“We need to protect women” I think they also don't like that men can suddenly reap all the advantages of being female that feminists have garnered for themselves in the last few decades. I don't really have any sympathy for the feminists who are now crying foul about trans men. They started the whole victim/oppressor game. It just happens that trans men trump women in the victim hierarchy.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	18/09/23 07:13 AM
