13	NowThis somewhat disingenuously frames endometriosis as man vs woman by comparing it to male pattern baldness The amount of funding that the NIH gives to male pattern baldness is conspicuously absent from these slides. They clearly intend to imply that it is a lot more than the agency gives to endometriosis, based on the last slide. But it never actually says that, and it's very suspicious that they would leave it out considering how central it is to their argument. Instead of male pattern baldness, it compares NIH funding for endometriosis to NIH funding for Chrohns disease. And then it compares the pr…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	21/06/26 04:35 PM
118	Leaving autism subs due to misandry... God I fucking hate the claim about autistic women being "trained" and"forced' to mask more than autistic men so goddamn much. Really, do they truly think that's the most likely and logical explanation for women being better at masking? Not that society enables and ALLOWS them to mask more due to cultural expectations for their gender? That women are permitted to be shy and quiet and take passive roles in social interaction without being seen as weak or weird or creepy? That people often actively…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	13/06/26 05:51 PM
4	Autistic men are not "coddled" My god, the number of people I've seen talk about intersectionality as if it's just a bunch of "oppressed/privileged" toggle switches where you add up each column to determine someone's score is so infuriating.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	19/05/26 03:40 PM
28	Autistic men are not "coddled" Fucking thank you. I've made basically this exact argument repeatedly. Make autistic women take the initiative of approaching, initiating, and driving their relationships and social interactions like is culturally expected of men and see how well they mask. I'd bet dollars to donuts their supposedly superior ability to mask would instantly disappear.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	19/05/26 03:27 PM
2	Feminist student organisation made SoCal gym inclusive - by banishing men - so that "women and non-binary students can exercise with a sense of ease" If you actually read the linked article, it's only one room, and they didn't actually banish men (though not for lack of trying). Federal law bans discrimination on the basis of gender in higher education, so at this point they just have a yoga room that is designated as a safe space for non-men to use but is still technically open to all.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	16/04/26 05:21 PM
1	"Boys will be held accountable." Absolutely. That's what I was trying to say in the original top comment. There's a tendency to focus on systemic injustices in the one context in which they disproportionately affect women (which is usually related to sex in some way) while ignoring how substantially the same thing disproportionately affects men in virtually every other context	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	25/03/26 01:37 AM
0	"Boys will be held accountable." Sure, though I think that's the use of the phrase feminists mostly objected to, at least initially. Maybe occasionally they were talking about actual little boys trying to kiss little girls or lift their skirts or whatever, but I think their main criticism was about people treating high school, college, and young adult men as if they were little boys getting into mischief when they did things like what was depicted in those movies or worse. For example, I recall one time I heard the phrase frequ…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	25/03/26 12:35 AM
1	"Boys will be held accountable." I think the "boys will be boys" thing is very generational. You're absolutely correct that it was primarily used to describe just boy's silly childhood behavior, and I agree that it was almost never used as an excuse for actual unambiguous sexual violence. But I do think in prior generations there was an attitude that a certain amount of what we today recognize as unacceptable sexual harassment was just the sort of boyhood mischief that should be expected from young men. You can see a lot of thi…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	24/03/26 11:30 PM
2	"Boys will be held accountable." I think this is an example of a larger issue where a problem that women experience specifically in the context of sex is magnified and treated as a generalized inequity when men are disproportionately disadvantaged by the issue in virtually every other context. Yes, there has traditionally been a problem with people dismissing sexual harassment and assault of women with a "boys will be boys" attitude, and that is a problem that should be addressed. But in essentially every other context women ar…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	24/03/26 07:42 PM
10	"Men create men's problems so men can't complain!" Many feminists also have a blind spot for the ways women uphold and contribute to structural cultural problems that disproportionately affect men. In the example given about men being disproportionate victims of violence, the argument that men are solely responsible for that violence fails to grapple with the reality that we live in a culture in which success with women is a primary marker of men's value and a major motivator for their actions, and in which there is a long and still prevalent hi…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	25/02/26 08:35 PM
