Clearly you've never heard of the patriarchy, which states that men are responsible for causing all of the world's problems, and for fixing them.

The comic in question showed up in my feed this morning and it was truly disgusting. The old tired "only men are responsible for the behavior of bad men because they'll listen to them but they won't listen to women." Everyone can call out bad behavior regardless of your gender or the other person's. The only reason to gender it is if you're coming from a place of hate. For my sanity I gave it a downvote and scrolled on without reading the comments. I'm already aware of the culture of that subred…

If you're looking for emotional support for coping with negative stereotypes about men, posting to a social sciences subreddit is a really bad idea.

The author Debra Soh has some really good takes on men's issues, I'm glad the MSM is giving her a platform. I've watched some good podcast interviews with her on YouTube.

OP didn't say a word about women. He said we shouldn't be brought down by people who hate men. Women aren't necessarily misandrists and misandrists aren't necessarily women.

Hard to know whether this is a positive development, given Australia's track record, but wow that article is dripping with hate. The author writes "improving boys’ mental health should not be overstated as the solution to gendered violence" and "It’s essential that beliefs in boys and men 'falling behind' ... are strongly refuted." She is legitimately worried that any resources or even any concern might be spent on men and boys' actual well-being.

Those are bad faith questions designed to paint responders in a bad light. My thoughts on those false accusation questions is that, these are things that happen sometimes but not necessarily often, so I would answer "somewhat agree." And that would be used to promote a narrative about women being oppressed because the evil manosphere is teaching men not to believe them. These studies are almost never objective searches for truth. They're designed to try to prove the ideas about systems of oppres…

In some less developed countries, especially Muslim ones, women have less rights and get less respect. It isn't proof of a global patriarchy conspiracy where all men are collaborating to hold women back, but we should have sympathy for the women who live in these cultures.

I've never thought that argument meant much to critical theory "woke" people because they believe the rules are different for oppressor groups and oppressed groups. Negative generalizations about men are fine, but negative generalizations about black people are not, because the two groups fall on opposite sides of the oppressor/oppressed line.

That would imply that diversity initiatives should exist in the first place, rather than a simple commitment to not discriminate.

Yes, the existence of extremists doesn't invalidate an entire movement. That, specifically, is my beef with the documentary, and the portrayal of the manosphere by most sources. It suggests that people looking out for boys and men are usually bad actors. I'm not meaning to portray anything about what the documentary might have said about women.
/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates17/03/26 07:54 PM

What you're describing is more like Critical Theory. Intersectionalism is just one part of it. Intersectionalism is about getting bonus oppression points for belonging to more than one "marginalized" group, such that your total oppression is greater than the sum of its parts.
/r/MensRights16/03/26 01:51 PM

Feminism and the manosphere both have a wide spectrum of views ranging from healthy concern and advocacy for real gendered problems, through to outright hatred and demonization of the other gender. I get angry with how eager society is to only see the positive side of feminism and only the negative side of men's advocacy. This documentary just reinforces that.

That may or may not be a good thing. Great, if societal changes have caused a greater variety of people from younger generations to be capable board members. Not so great if this is a plan to discriminate in the name of "equity".

If, against all evidence, you believe that all differences between men and women are socialized and none of them are intrinsic, you come to the conclusion that different outcomes for boys and girls must be caused by prejudice or some kind of failure of society to socialize boys and girls correctly. So programs like this are an attempt to "fix" that. Maybe 40 years ago it was harder for a woman to get hired for a technical role but we are so far past that.

You aren't the first person to have thought of this. https://www.newsweek.com/men-attend-women-job-fair-lie-about-being-nonbinary-1832042 (I don't condone the misandrist tone of the article)

A lot of it comes from Marxist influence, where people are encouraged to see everything in terms of an oppressor group and an oppressed group, without much concern for details at an individual level.

Strange article. She has reasonable insights about the challenges young men face. She has reasonable insights about the challenges young women face. She correctly states that hardship shouldn't be a competition. So why poison the whole article by trying to make the case that women have it worse?

Women are evolved to be pickier than men. This can't be "fixed" except maybe through some horrible form of coercion, which is a non-starter. Having more difficulty finding a partner is a challenge inherent to being a young straight man. But we can still help men who are suffering through this by giving them emotional support. Try to build up their self-esteem and resist the idea that their worth is tied to their ability to find a partner. Help them get out of the house, meet people, and be socia…

I wish we lived in an alternative universe where the same term always meant the same thing to everyone. Discourse about social issues would be so much easier and clearer. But in reality, for example, if someone is complains about liberals, you have no idea whom they're talking about, until you figure out whether they're a conservative who hates leftists or a Marxist who hates classical liberalism.

Loneliness can come from lacking a romantic relationship, lacking friends to hang out with, or both. If someone's main issue is wanting a romantic relationship and failing to find one, their pain is still very real. The fact that a bad relationship could theoretically make things worse doesn't make the pain any less real. We shouldn't call someone in this situation "incredibly privileged" even if they aren't facing any other major problems at the moment.

That is yet another problem with the diagram. It implies a false equivalence between the wedges. The pros and cons of being a man vs woman are very different from the pros and cons of being rich vs poor.

I agree with all of your points. But wanting a fair system isn't the same as wanting 50/50 outcomes. I just think that we should emphasize that our desires for change come from wanting fairness, rather than downplay it. The people who conflate fairness with equal outcomes need to be set straight, and that is a whole other can of worms.

Passionately disagree. We need to shine a light on the absurdities at the heart of third wave feminism and critical theory, and the ways that these ideas hurt men, rather than take on an us vs. them attitude. I understand the point you're trying to make about if we start in the middle, they will only ever meet us half way. But advocating for men to have better outcomes than women will only lend credence to their "patriarchy" narrative about men collaborating to stay in power and keep women down.…

As is so often the case, the waters are muddied by shifting definitions of words. In my 25+ year relationship with my wife, I have on a couple occasions talked her into having sex when she didn't really feel like it. (It wasn't more than a couple of times, a very long time ago, and I don't recommend it.) By today's "enthusiastic consent" definition, that would make me a rapist, and I suppose I fall into the "97%" who got away with it...

I read the abstract, and it appears that the researchers found that most feminists believe that there are no inherent differences between men and women, and that men need fixing because they are socialized wrong. I could have already told you that that's what they believe... Then the paper jumps to the conclusion that feminists couldn't possibly be misandrist because they believe that society turns men into terrible people instead of them being born that way.

I think of Orwell all the time when I see certain elements on the left intentionally manipulating language and redefining words.

Its a lot like the old incel boards, where an echo-chamber of negativity can lead to some pretty stupid ideas gaining traction. This is good news - people will see this hate and condemn it, just like they did with incels, and "feminist" will likewise lose the original meaning and become a generic pejorative for any misandrist. Right? Right?

Most of the viewpoints you describe are not those of society at large, but of a particular group. Fight against those ideas, but you don't need to feel like the world is out to get you.

I find the history of the word incel to be telling. To start with it described anyone who couldn't find a partner. Then some but not all people who identified with the term developed some unhealthy views about women. And that was the only thing the world cared about. Not their tremendous emotional suffering. Not their suicide risk. Just the misogyny. It was so important to reinforce the narrative around the oppression of women, that people actively (and sort of successfully) tried to redefine th…

I understand what it feels like to be in that position, but you have to play it a little bit cool. She should have just taken credit for her contribution without "calling him out." Say "I'm glad that technique I suggested worked so well." Don't say, "it would have been nice if you had given me credit." I really don't know if Gen Z is worse about this sort of thing than young people of the past, but academia's recent focus on victimhood can't be helping.

Generally, if you use the term patriarchy, people will assume you mean the feminist definition of it. I'm much more concerned with demonstrating how that concept of patriarchy is wrong, than with encouraging some other usage of the word.

I haven't really studied the different branches of feminism and I'm not sure that I care to. They all seem to share the belief that we live in a patriarchy where men are oppressors and women are oppressed. This is the concept that I reject. In the present day, in developed countries, men and women each have their own unique set of challenges, and they are of similar size. Society as a whole is both the cause of these challenges and is responsible for fixing them. As far as left-wing, I reject Ma…

I think that what you're describing may apply to the early dating phase, where the boy is expected to woo the girl. But in long term stable relationships I don't think this is gendered. I think men and women are about equally likely to care for each other.
/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates21/10/25 11:33 PM

Some people overstate the size of it, when they say 90% of women are going for 10% of men, but it is very real. It matches what we see in real life, and makes a lot of sense from an evolutionary perspective. Feminists appear to believe that all findings of evolutionary biology are automatically wrong, and that they must contrive any argument they possibly can to try to discredit them.

The moment they do, it gets lumped into the "manosphere" and considered harmful by default. This very subreddit is a place for men to support each other, and many consider it a hate group. Now that I think about it, awhile ago guys who were suffering from loneliness and low self esteem due to their inability to find a partner did create online spaces to support each other.

I never see MRA's expecting feminists to do more for men. At most some point out the hypocrisy of those feminists who claim to support men's issues, while actively doing the opposite. I don't think advocating for one gender obligates you to also advocate for the other, as long as you're not advocating for harm or hate toward the other.

I just pointed out that double blind studies show testosterone has impact. I didn't say anything about evo psych's explanations as to why that is the case.

/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates01/10/25 06:53 PM

I don't think bioessentialist is a fair way to frame the belief that social pressures and biology both have meaningful impact. Recognizing that there are some small observable differences isn't the same as believing that all men must or should act one way, and all women must or should act a different way. Sexually dimorphic behavior is an established fact, regardless of what fiction you concoct to suggest how evolution should have resulted in a different outcome.
/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates01/10/25 05:19 PM

There have been numerous double blind studies with a placebo that show that testosterone influences behavior.
/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates01/10/25 01:41 PM

There is an overwhelming amount of scientific evidence proving biological differences in behavior, and people in the social sciences are way too eager to dismiss evo psych when its insights complicate their world view.

If boys were shown this perspective early on, it might help them see that chasing relationships isn’t some built-in instinct. It really, really is a built-in instinct. One that has kept the human race existing since time immemorial. It would be great if society stopped assigning value to men based on who they can attract. And if a guy finds he can be happier without a relationship, more power to him. Nobody should treat him like he's doing anything wrong. But there is no way we can expect a shif…

How could communism allow for everyone who wants to have sex to be able to have sex? It really isn't like food - there aren't consent issues between the grower of the food and the eater of it.

If we had communism and there was no money and so there would be no prostitution. How would swapping a planned economy for a market economy cause everyone's sexual desires to be met?

Some people on the Incel boards had some pretty unhealthy views about women, and unfortunately the frame around incels became "these are entitled hateful people who should be despised" instead of "these are lonely suffering people who should be supported."

No, it's not just feminism that's keeping men oppressed. It's really both feminism and the traditional gender roles. I agree that it is both. And both sides have had influence on government policy.

Well, that's a unique Marxist view, at least. The typical Marxist would just say all men are bourgeois oppressors.

How much context do you need? Those scriptures were all written by Paul as instructions for early Christians on how to live, and most Christians consider them to be God's inspired word.

Christianity is absolutely misogynist. The bible advocates for men being in charge and women being subordinate. The only thing that bothers me is when feminists or other leftists support Islam at the same time they oppose Christianity just because they're on opposite sides of the "oppressor"/"marginalized" paradigm.

When my wife had hip surgery, I took over her chores and drove her everywhere for a couple months. When I had shoulder surgery, she took over my chores and drove me everywhere for a couple months. (We both WFH full time.) Yes, things can go wrong, and divorce arrangements aren't always fair to men. But it is certainly poss…

I don't think there is any legal standing for considering incels a protected group. But to cast those who use incel as an insult in a negative light, you shouldn't concede the definition to be: >The term “Incel” (involuntary celibate) refers to a loosely defined online subculture of men who express frustration about not being able to form romantic or sexual relationships, often with misogynistic views. Insist on the original definition - that it refers to everyone suffering from the inability to…

One can be egalitarian without pretending that differences between men and women don't exist. I've always hated the term "essentialism" though. The differences between men and women are relatively minor and there is lots of variance. The existence of such differences doesn't dictate a rigid mold for how any individual should live their life.

Society only allows members of "oppressed" groups to support other members within the group. Men favoring male-owned businesses over female-owned businesses would be about as popular as the KKK.

I don't know why social science insists in seeing everything as one group must be the oppressor, and one group must be the oppressed. "How foolish those MRAs are for believing that women are the oppressor group and men are the oppressed!" Could it be that women have one set of challenges, and men have a different set, and maybe in both cases these challenges are caused by society as a whole, and not by the other group maliciously collaborating against them?

I'm not an incel now, but I went through a very difficult span during my teens and early twenties of not being able to find a partner.

Incel is a man who is suffering from his inability to find a sexual partner. Some incels may have formed online communities with unhealthy views, but that doesn't mean all incels should be automatically grouped together with them. Anyone who uses incel as an insult is promoting the idea that a man's worth is defined by his ability to get laid. Promoting this idea actively contributes toward rape culture.

Because lonely men are seen as a potential threat. Many feminists don't make a distinction between "suffering from loneliness" and "feeling entitled to women's bodies." If you assume that men are oppressors and women are oppressed, then a man who is hurting from lack of companionship might be dangerous, and his emotions are completely secondary compared to the fear he may cause.

There is usually no reason for recognizing bad behavior in others to be gendered. If somebody does something wrong, make it about them, and not their gender.
