-1	Majority of the AskFeminists subreddit's views on feminism are actually great. It's the hostile attitude that makes me turn away and run I dismiss him because what he is most known for and what he says most commonly are his own opinions taken as his own gospel and spoken of as if they are immutable facts of the world and he received criticisms to that effect when was a university lecturer. What credibility he does have is marred by this exact thought process and his flimsy attempts to present himself as centrist while making statements which conform to his own personal worldview with astounding overlap with right-wing beliefs onl…	/r/MensRights	29/08/22 04:59 AM
-3	Majority of the AskFeminists subreddit's views on feminism are actually great. It's the hostile attitude that makes me turn away and run They're correct that Jordan Peterson is not worth listening to. I don't think he's a grifter, but that's only because he isn't trying to sell me something. The logic basis he works upon usually has an incredibly poor foundation that then gets worse as he's allowed to continue speaking. He's put on a pedestal because he's good at the way he delivers words, but when you actually pick apart the things he's saying, it's archaic nonsense to say the very least.	/r/MensRights	29/08/22 01:18 AM
4	the importance of trans rights in the mens movement If I didn't have more Alphabet Mafia friends than I do non-LGBTQ+ friends, this would be one of the biggest reasons why I actively support Trans Rights as a CisHet man. The fact I see damn-near zero introspection in left-wing circles with regards to the issues men face DESPITE the overwhelming number of people who'd have some experience to throw into the ring, either by trans folk, gay/bi/pan/ace/etc. men, or women who've witnessed first-hand the negative effects on men's life experience legitim…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	18/08/22 08:25 AM
1	why do men have all these mens rights pages and fathers rights pages across various social media platform's yet nothing is ever done? As a single father being shafted by the courts and my child abuser ex I wish there were more men willing to actually do something rather than 10 people get togethers. I'm glad your dad taught you how to cook, I'm glad that you have the ability to pass that along. I never said ALL mens issues are our fault, that was never the point I was making in the first place. There are societal standards that are discriminatory towards men that are completely out of our control right now. Men get shit looks while taking their daughters on walks through the park and that's on a good day, There are zero actions that men can do to solve that without de-stigmatising. Please d…	/r/MensRights	08/07/22 07:53 AM

As a single father being shafted by the courts and my child abuser ex I wish there were more men willing to actually do something rather than 10 people get togethers. We can't ignore our responsibility in this. It's fine to do more protests and force people to not ignore mens issues, but we have to acknowledge which things aren't in our control, and which things are. One can lead to the other, so we need to set the best bedrock for our arguments that we can. That starts on a small scale, and can then be brought to a larger scale.	/r/MensRights	08/07/22 07:12 AM
3	why do men have all these mens rights pages and fathers rights pages across various social media platform's yet nothing is ever done? As a single father being shafted by the courts and my child abuser ex I wish there were more men willing to actually do something rather than 10 people get togethers. The social role of homemaker has a lot of skills associated with it that are typically only taught to girls, not boys. One of the reasons in my view for skewed legal custody is an assumption that men do not know how to cook, clean, and look after a child. By me not knowing how to cook, I was implicitly allowing that assumption to continue to manifest in my future kids, and while one man being an exception is not going to change anything, I can make sure my future kids don't have that same proble…	/r/MensRights	08/07/22 01:24 AM

1	Is it just me or is much of the transgender movement actually misandrist? If you can't see the inherent value of voices who actively witness the contrast between men and women on the topic of societal treatments, then you're not thinking hard enough. I agree, trans issues are not men's issues, but mens issues are trans issues, and if we're wanting progress towards egalitarianism, we need allies. Also, Trans Men and Trans Women can both speak on how society treats men overall, they've both experienced some of the problems too, it really doesn't make sense to draw an ar…	/r/MensRights	23/06/22 01:19 AM

11	Is it just me or is much of the transgender movement actually misandrist? Cis Man here, couldn't agree more, We need everyone at the table to fix this, and we need to put aside competing over who has it the worst to do that.	/r/MensRights	20/06/22 07:45 AM

-1	Is it just me or is much of the transgender movement actually misandrist? I believe this article from a Trans Woman may be of relevance. https://medium.com/@jencoates/i-am-a-transwoman-i-am-in-the-closet-i-am-not-coming-out-4c2dd1907e42 This video may also be worth a watch. This is a discussion between Shark3oZero (a growing male left-wing youtuber) and a trans man that goes by the handle bottompolitics. It talks about the overall experiences with male presentation in society, and how Trans Men are ultimately pigeonholed into adopting affects that are simultaneously e…	/r/MensRights	20/06/22 04:32 AM

1	Apparently "toxic masculinity" is misogyny while "toxic feminity" is not misandric Please don't make me type it out a fourth time. Child Support isn't based on cost of living, but what is (at least the presumed) intention of Child Support? Because to my understanding it was something crafted to ease cost of living as having another mouth to feed is a significant financial stressor. If the Cost of Living is Zero, for what purpose would child support exist for? At that point (Assuming childcare fees are also at Zero), You could absolutely make the argument for dismantling Child …	/r/MensRights	30/05/22 06:05 PM
1	Apparently "toxic masculinity" is misogyny while "toxic feminity" is not misandric It's almost like we need to address that exact problem by fixing numerous societal problems that lead to underlying predispositions towards certain judiciary outcomes. Damn, I wonder if someone's already advocated for exactly that three times already... Real talk, if the child support money is the reason of the day that custody battles lean heavily towards women, then isn't the true underlying solution an easing of the costs of living such that having a child isn't so financially debilitating fo…	/r/MensRights	30/05/22 04:38 PM
1	Apparently "toxic masculinity" is misogyny while "toxic feminity" is not misandric I just said "dismantle any remaining biases beyond" I'm not sure how you read that and still commented about biases that need dismantling as if that's not what I just advocated for fixing, but i'm impressed regardless. Also, just a really poor comparison overall. There's only one bit there where the comparison is fair, and you missed it entirely. I'm going to explore this example specifically because you brought it up. "That's like saying we need to teach women to not wear revealing clothes so t…	/r/MensRights	30/05/22 07:17 AM
1	Apparently "toxic masculinity" is misogyny while "toxic feminity" is not misandric You're right, that's a slight mess up on my part, under modern circumstances, the mother generally gets the custody of the child, I neglected the historical import of a son to 'continue bloodlines' among many other reasons. but it doesn't really degrade the solution I proposed in either case. The solution is still "teach young men how to fend for themselves the same way we do women and guide them on how to be the best parent they can be. Then dismantle any remaining biases beyond."	/r/MensRights	30/05/22 06:05 AM
0	Apparently "toxic masculinity" is misogyny while "toxic feminity" is not misandric I definitely am coming at it from a "Both sides are in the wrong" viewpoint. I've seen Feminists trend towards misandry in some circles and i've seen Mens Rights Advocates trend towards misogyny in some circles. I spend more time in egalitarian groups these days than Mens Rights Groups because (quite frankly) Mens Rights groups tend to be really vengeful about their lot in life, and despite how my heart aches for the people in places like this talking about how they've been hurt through domestic…	/r/MensRights	30/05/22 05:55 AM
-1	Apparently "toxic masculinity" is misogyny while "toxic feminity" is not misandric I advocated for both sides to take actions to fix it, I just specified the actions of men as, well, we're men. It's the bit of the equation we can actually do, there isn't much point in going over the list of things women can do to solve that same problem because this subreddit is predominantly men. It's a bit like shouting into the void on the off-chance women see it, but I get your meaning. The social isolation problem. I specified that men should try to be friends with women without trying to…	/r/MensRights	30/05/22 01:01 AM
0	Apparently "toxic masculinity" is misogyny while "toxic feminity" is not misandric Fair, engage with it when Feminism is ready to hear. I get it. I'll still be advocating for tearing down the barriers of ignorance and doing as much as I can to bring about that readiness sooner, all I'm really asking for is for Men's Rights to not fall into the same ignorance we're criticising feminism of. For what It's worth, I frame it as a struggle to solve the same issue for a few reasons. It illustrates that fundamentally both Feminism and Mens Rights are trying to solve the same problems,…	/r/MensRights	29/05/22 04:30 PM
-1	Apparently "toxic masculinity" is misogyny while "toxic feminity" is not misandric We could fix that you know. Them not understanding men's issues isn't their problem, it's ours. How do we communicate what our issue is, and how do we explain these problems and how they cycle back around to the problems that they experience. Mens issues and womens issues are two sides of the same coin. We can fix one while fixing the other. We could shout from the rooftops that "hey, Here's a problem, here's how it affects you, here's how it affects me, can we work together to solve it" but we'…	/r/MensRights	29/05/22 04:05 PM
-2	Apparently "toxic masculinity" is misogyny while "toxic feminity" is not misandric I am. Edit: If you want to edit out the part where you said "defend yourself without me" that's fine, I'm aware i'm getting downvoted again and it saddens me because there are a lot of people genuinely hurt by what's going on with mens issues and I'm trying to advocate for solutions to that beyond just venting about how feminists don't care about us. I haven't put much emotional weight behind these comments, I'd hoped that there would be folks around here that could get on board with the nuance …	/r/MensRights	29/05/22 03:11 PM
3	Apparently "toxic masculinity" is misogyny while "toxic feminity" is not misandric Last I checked the Church was conservative, but that's not to say both sides don't have it.	/r/MensRights	29/05/22 02:45 PM
-3	Apparently "toxic masculinity" is misogyny while "toxic feminity" is not misandric Yes. Unironically, Yes. If you go to a feminist board on the topic of them complaining about being permanent housewives and child raisers and suggest that if you want to work towards fixing the concept of them being permanent housewives and child raisers, then we (Use 'we', not 'they', we're both a part of the solution remember) should advocate for men to be taught how to cook and how to clean the house so that they can divide the labour equally.

-9	Apparently "toxic masculinity" is misogyny while "toxic feminity" is not misandric I've already gotten a message from reddit regarding self-harm and suicide and all that after my first comment, which is new. Not sure if that's a direct result of my comment just getting an automatic response from Reddit or if someone reported it for self harm or something, but I digress. Okay, sure, but what does that prove exactly? I commented what I did here because I'm trying to advocate for solutions to mens problems, some of which are caused by other men and women.

-18	Apparently "toxic masculinity" is misogyny while "toxic feminity" is not misandric I mean I can be more prolific in comments sections on this subreddit if you want, I usually stay away because with posts like this, it's toxic as all hell and genuinely degrades my mental health if I browse it too much, which this subreddit is ironically supposed to be helping. But yeah, I'm horrified by it too. I do genuinely believe that this subreddit, which at some stages feels more like a venting subreddit than a Mens Rights subreddit, can have the underlying problems addressed. I fundament…	/r/MensRights	29/05/22 01:22 PM
-39	Apparently "toxic masculinity" is misogyny while "toxic feminity" is not misandric Currently, I would too, and I'm male, Some of the groups surrounding mens rights advocacy can be incredibly toxic and problematic, same as any movement. You will inevitably get the behaviour that toes the line of acceptability, even moreso in groups feeling hurt and neglected, but an advocacy to cover mens issues in a large movement being labelled as hypocrisy is ultimately undermining the very thing you're seeking underneath that tone. Because ultimately, if you're not seeking egalitarianism wi…	/r/MensRights	29/05/22 12:11 PM

0	Just got reported for promoting hate. Cant reach out to anyone to verify whats the promotion in the comment. What do you guys think? I mean I can explain it again, your message reads like you're dissatisfied with LGBTQ+ issues, it's not a huge leap to go from "dissatisfaction" to "distaste", so your comment can be read as a distaste for LGBTQ+ issues, a distaste for people living their lives as they see fit. While (I hope) this interpretation is a misunderstanding, that's ultimately not how your comment reads. Whether or not your ultimate goal is virtuous is besides the point if you're typing like our issues are the only ones…	/r/MensRights	03/02/22 06:02 PM
2	Just got reported for promoting hate. Cant reach out to anyone to verify whats the promotion in the comment. What do you guys think? I think if you'd calm down for half a second you might realise that Trans people are one of the key factors in solving the societal problems relating to both womens AND mens issues as they have the unique perspective of seeing both sides of the coin. Is the report unreasonable? Possibly, I think ultimately it was interpreted as an undermining of LGBTQ+ issues, which it certainly reads like, and definitely is an implied promotion of hate.	/r/MensRights	03/02/22 04:38 PM

9	I feel kinda bad laughing at this, but hey you get what you deserve... I don't feel like it's right to celebrate individuals for being fired, it's easy to fall into a revenge mindset but these people need income during a pandemic and now they need to actively search for a way to support their families during arguably one of the largest global events that will happen in any of our lifespans.

1	Why should men be open with their emotions? There's something to be said about stoicism in a positive light, but in my case, i have gone from an extremely emotional child to not even knowing my own emotions, which can be mistaken as stoicism. I can't tell internally when i'm sad, happy, or angry, i only know when i'm either unmotivated, laughing or shaking. A lot of the cause was due to social interactions, i wasn't beaten up physically. But in my bid to fit in and be a part of something when i was younger, i had to try to shut that out. …	/r/MensRights	25/12/18 11:00 AM
