1	How to date in a liberal College? just find good people to be friends with, and turn your brain off with respect to social issues in conversation to start; there's a reason why polite conversation steers clear of religion and politics unless there is a common thread. college is a melting pot, so bringing controversial topics to bear early just bears controversy. frankly, you become who you surround yourself with, so try to fall in with the right crowd of people, the smart ones and the hardworking ones. the best advice is to fi…	/r/MensRights	06/07/23 03:28 AM

1	My girlfriend is trying to get me to get a vasectomy well for me personally i dont want kids cus im disabled and a) dont wanna bring in life that i may not be able to help live to their fullest and b) especially dont wanna give this disability i have to someone I would love. so my personal only real option for bio children in future is IVF based, and thats only if gene selecting for kids is allowed. also i wouldnt want kids if i wasnt able to afford a round or two of IVF; if thats a barrier cost-wise then bio kids are out of the question, given al…	/r/MensRights	06/05/22 05:06 AM
2	My girlfriend is trying to get me to get a vasectomy can sperm be recovered after a vasectomy straight from the source for use in IVF? i know it would possibly be invasive though	/r/MensRights	04/05/22 02:28 AM
1	So I am new to the idea of “men’s rights” and am genuinely curious what you guys are advocating for. Could someone provide a couple of rights you guys want to see passed? (Serious replies please) Holy shit are you really in a Men's Rights space arguing that people assigned male at birth are more likely to commit sexual assault and be dangerous to women? As an innate feature?? WTF	/r/MensRights	03/12/21 08:58 PM
0	An appeal to all the feminist/anti-MRA lurkers here "Masculanism" is a good word, gonna figure out privately where it fits in the social rights sphere. Sounds like anti-egalitarian men's issues proponents off the surface of it.	/r/MensRights	09/11/21 09:04 PM
6	What are your questions about male suicide? As a male with a disability & chronic pain condition I'm curious if others in this same category set have experienced the same kind of suicidal thoughts as I.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	04/11/21 08:21 PM

25	I’m tired of women saying “if he wanted to, he would”. Disability too. I want to do great things for the person I love but I'm not always able to, physically.	/r/MensRights	14/10/21 12:06 AM
6	is it possible to have a romantic relationship with a woman where you could be emotional? maybe I just got very lucky with who i ended up with, or I chose (and got chosen by) a very nice woman, or something like that, but my one and only relationship has been with someone who is very genuine and kind and takes my feelings seriously. I have no problems being emotional with her and she's never done anything to delegitimise or ridicule my pain	/r/MensRights	21/09/21 04:04 AM

3	California corrections officer 'with a depraved mind' who cut a hole in her pants for sex with inmate in front of 11 other prisoners is jailed for seven months if the genders were worse and it went to conviction + reached the media, some places have nasty people who get away with nasty shit, and when you're working within the 'justice system' there are all kinds of potential pathways out of getting caught.	/r/MensRights	04/07/21 07:46 AM

3	Seeing how people take this person seriously is such a relief, and gives me hope society is progressing toward treating sexual assault seriously. No it isn't, even a little bit. Consent is important for proper sex, and cannot occur when one or both parties are highly inebriated.	/r/MensRights	03/06/21 05:37 AM
2	Study: of 1,500 men who committed suicide, 91% had been in contact with a health agency to seek help. The notion that men die because they don't ask for assistance is untenable. for better or forse worse (IMO, it's for worse), a ton of society is based in "zero sum" philosophy, in order to promote competition and advancement as a whole, based on presumptions of what "advancement" means at the time. Naturally, there are billions of competing factors to gender based scholarships. Some factors make it so that men are penalized via "zero sum" utilization (scarce resources because there's finite money/slots available, unusual increase in prospective 'buyers' increases the …	/r/MensRights	01/06/21 05:47 AM
3	Study: of 1,500 men who committed suicide, 91% had been in contact with a health agency to seek help. The notion that men die because they don't ask for assistance is untenable. bro, two wrongs don't make a right. its valid to protest the "yesallmen" type bullshite, but its not ok to take the same extremist hate but from the other side. Hate is hate, no matter what, and its not friendly to direct it at entire groups indiscriminately, especially for an immutable characteristic	/r/MensRights	01/06/21 05:29 AM

16	Anyone else notice that a feminist's definition of a man doing the 'bare minimum' is often far more than a man doing the actual bare minimum? I've written this elsewhere, but I'm really disappointed in how intersectionality has been coopted anymore. The foundations of intersectionality as a social justice tool are very solid, but it's being used in such a bass-ackwards way in modern times, where rather than looking at commonalities of oppression it focusses on the set of people who are "most oppressed" based on how many marginalized groups they are a part of. As far as I understand it, intersectionality sought to reconcile together ma…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	01/05/21 06:31 AM
3	Complaining about the patriarchy is actually just complaining about the aristocracy & usually a sign of deep set mental illness resulting from indoctrination into a misandrist cult that is so common now that no one can see it is a cult (more inside) Made note of that in my final edit, thank you for catching it in case I'd have missed it though. I needed to look at the actual list of culty properties because my specific memory recall is super bad.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	12/04/21 03:51 PM
13	Complaining about the patriarchy is actually just complaining about the aristocracy & usually a sign of deep set mental illness resulting from indoctrination into a misandrist cult that is so common now that no one can see it is a cult (more inside) Was going to downvote you for the title, then was going to upvote you for the post. Settled on a no-vote. Most of the body of your post is definitely fair to present, and I agree with those parts. However, there certainly were, in past, harmful patriarchal ideals perpetuated across all classes (one example is the characterization and demonization of Lilith in religious texts and lore as a woman created alongside and equal to Adam, who refused subservience to him). Patriarchy is not the problem…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	12/04/21 03:33 PM
13	AN update on the reddit admins being fine with abuse directed at men. I'm a leftist men's advocate as well, and I agree that we need to build bridges rather than burn them. The main point as I read it to why the far right taking hold of it is that they want to burn the bridges, to make it a wedge issue and radicalization point the same way as gun rights have been used. The left needs to loudly and unequivocally show their support to the men's movement or else the far right will be perceived as the only place that takes men's problems seriously and has a solution…	/r/MensRights	07/04/21 07:42 PM
1	Reddit admins clarify that they're fine with hate if it's directed towards the right people. Primary criticism is that the first response is a tiny bit vitriolic in the last little bit, but honestly I wouldn't be surprised if the admins only respond to vitriol and delete all other mails so that if things do get leaked to media, they get sympathy points.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	05/04/21 09:02 PM
30	Reddit admins clarify that they're fine with hate if it's directed towards the right people. Nice to know that reddit admins don't know the difference between "and" and "or". One would think that's important for programming, but w/e i guess. unless they were just ignoring the part that says "identity or"? Who knows.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	05/04/21 08:54 PM

27	What you need to know before talking about issues on this sub. Have to agree with you here, but we also need to be aware of, and call out, actual alt-right, incel-esque, anti-equality, hardline/hateful MGTOW individuals who may try to invade the space. Politics makes strange bedfellows, and we should absolutely welcome discourse appropriate to this space from those willing to talk peaceably (and who won't try to poach away members), but it is our responsibility to protect this space from losing the >left-wing< spirit and egalitarian passion this space truly…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	23/03/21 11:17 PM
3	I was refused service today in the U.K. because I’m a man It's a small local shop with owners who OP knows personally, its gonna be a bit more touchy and personal than that. I don't think the owners of the shop had "must discriminate against men" in the job description or anything, so why should it go farther than a reprimand against the employee? Unless of course there's a pattern of behavior there, but it doesn't sound like that's the case.	/r/MensRights	14/03/21 07:00 AM
1	The Elders of Zion or the Elders of Patriarchy ? the feminist and nazi discourse are very similar. they see a conspiracy everywhere. and blame the collective gender/race instead of the individual. There are plenty of other examples for this kind of thing happening but I don't think this is a good one. I just don't think the nazis were all that interested in makeup theory	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	16/01/21 05:23 AM
1	"Patriarchy" conspiracy theory & feminism version of patriarchy debunked in 30 seconds - more debunk clips in comments - "patriarchy" often used by privileged, rich, middle class, PHD, white women to distance themselves from the system they are themselves part of by claiming it doesnt apply to them! I'm super interested in responding to this but it's gonna take more effort than sleepy 4 am me can muster up at the moment. I will come back to this tomorrow, if that's ok? Thank you for the conversation thus far it's nice to talk over problems and keep my head on track. One quick point I'd like to make is that by "traditional" I mean more of the conservative ideal of a society ala 19-20th century middle class atomic family America (for the times/places where education is readily available to …	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	09/12/20 09:38 AM

Here's the tribalism. You realize that's exactly what feminists say about Men's Rights Activists? How about you tell me why MR activism is not about being a hate group bent on the subjugation of women, and I'll take your statements and reframe them into why feminism isn't either?	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	06/12/20 10:22 PM

This simply isn't the case. Nature is a very cruel place, and has no concept of society or freedom. Biology doesn't know what society is either, human pack-forming has a hard limit. The reality is that complex society (civilization) has existed for such a very short time frame that evolution can't have impacted it. Tribal society has…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	06/12/20 10:03 PM
2	YES! MRA's fighting back in Kenya - UN/WHO is forcing men in circumcision. Due to resistance it is now shifting to non consensual circ of infants - In Philippines 70% of boys get PTSD (Circs are done IN PUBLIC age ~10 - see paper and 40% in one cohort were infected) oh wait you meant this comment, ok. I thought I saw you replying to a different comment, I'll give this one a read. Edit after reading: Did you mean to respond to me or the guy claiming foreskin removal hardened the skin leading to less STDs? When I referred to skin tautness I didn't mean hardening against entry, I meant the skin is under extra tension and thus more likely to break. Also, I presume you mean in your last line "does not require circumcision"?	/r/MensRights	06/12/20 04:25 AM

Yes, I'd seen that while doing further research myself after I got invited to r/intactivism, I believe that's an excerpt of the second pinned post on there (i think I've read that post a while ago as well). It doesn't really change my mind on the issue (hence why I didn't update my comment after learning) but it does give more informed theories and evidence than just hypothesizing to use in future.	/r/MensRights	06/12/20 04:02 AM

The answer to discrimination, according to you is.... more discrimination? The answer to under-representation of one sector's needs is.... ousting a minority group from the fold of leadership? Buddy, I'm getting the feeling that you aren't that left wing or egalitarian at all. Honestly I was going to continue to make points and counterpoints but that frankly disgusting sexist sentiment that women intrinsically "have an in-group bias" really puts me off talking with you.

Uhh. I never claimed that quotas were the answer. In fact they just serve to make the problems worse. I agree with you that quotas are harmful discrimination. All I'm saying is that there is a representation issue where certain interests may not be heard because of historic and systemic biases (Side note, why are you complaining about "left wing parties" when you are on a left wing board, with a left wing tag?

Frankly you have a hard agree from me on your first two paragraphs. All I have in response to either is conjecture for fringe cases long past in regards to these points. One counterpoint I would make, though, is that the world was patriarchal in the realms of power and money up until very recently, on a human scale of things. Outliers have existed, to be sure, but the general rule was that the realms of money and power were relegated to men. I mean, heck, women apparently weren't guaranteed the …	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	05/12/20 09:52 PM

I appreciate what Jordan Peterson has done to open my eyes to some issues, but I'm afraid I've outgrown some of his philosophies. Primarily I don't think he addresses two major factors that are very important in these discussions. First, that discussions in regards to the "oppression olympics" of which gender has it worse, societally, generally ignores the real question of "who is oppressing these individuals?" which typically has its roots in either a) harmful societal standards or b) class war…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	05/12/20 08:41 PM

Due to resistance it is now shifting to non consensual circ of infants - In Philippines 70% of boys get PTSD (Circs are done IN PUBLIC age ~10 - see paper and 40% in one cohort were infected) I addressed that above; from someone with a smattering of biology courses, I understand that STDs are primarily transmitted via micro-tears in the skin as a result of friction during sex allowing contaminated bodily fluids to cross the skin/blood barrier. Circumcised penises have more skin tautness and cause more friction, resulting in more micro-tears for both parties; at the risk of TMI, I've certainly experienced even large-scale tears even when using lubrication. The STD argument for MGM mak…	/r/MensRights	05/12/20 08:25 PM

Due to resistance it is now shifting to non consensual circ of infants - In Philippines 70% of boys get PTSD (Circs are done IN PUBLIC age ~10 - see paper and 40% in one cohort were infected) It makes the opposite of sense too, ffs. Less skin=more tearing due to friction (in both parties!) =much higher risk of STD transmission into the bloodstream. I just don't understand any part of the logic behind circumcision. From all that I can read, it's just a barbaric, old religious practice originally intended to minimize sexuality and need for sex education in order to maintain control.

1	Fool me once.. I don't think they considered Obama to be God's chosen lol, quite the opposite I'd wager.

3	Fool me once.. I don't think I'd call the sentiments I've seen "tolerating". There have been plenty of members of the Trump movement who have lauded him as God's chosen. I've seen it in my family, who I'd thought was relatively secular, government wise. C'est la vie. You're right, though, that I'm misrepresenting such statements as being solely in the realm of "evangelicalism" as opposed to the blanket "religious conservatives", there could be some confusion there.

While I agree that two adults are within their individual rights to meet for adulterous reasons, it doesn't absolve their responsibilities to other parties (through marriage or national interest) nor should it be excused on the religious or moral stage, should it be brought up by the initiator's supporters.

The biggest complaints I've seen about the Trump/Daniels affair were that it was blatant infidelity/adultery by an individual lauded by evangelicals throughout the Republican party as ranging from being an upstanding and moral Christian to God's chosen to the second coming of Christ himself. I'd certainly agree that the affair would not be justly categorized under metoo under my understanding (though my understanding may be lacking).
