6	Is the fact that the accusations against Graham Platner hardly dented the momentum of his Senate campaign a sign of progress? I simply can't respect being this gullible. People know what their tattoos mean, especially educated politician types. People who get Nazi tattoos are the kind of people who know what a Nazi tattoo is, whether it's because they're thoughtful Nazis or contrarian edgelords. People who get tattoos as a group activity know that the symbol has a meaning that they could look up, if they haven't encountered it in a dozen conversations already. This also means that we aren't really having a conversation…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	15/06/26 11:55 PM
15	Is the fact that the accusations against Graham Platner hardly dented the momentum of his Senate campaign a sign of progress? Most straight white men don't have Nazi tattoos, they're actually a rather uncommon affectation these days. Editing in a blanket response to replies: If you think the Nazi tattoo is cool/fine/tolerable/forgivable, you should just say that up front like a grown-up. This goalpost-shifting cowardice is pathetic, we all know that it wasn't for being "a straight white man", which is the whole thing the initial comment said.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	15/06/26 09:43 PM
9	Is the fact that the accusations against Graham Platner hardly dented the momentum of his Senate campaign a sign of progress? I would have expected anyone who self-identifies as "left wing" to dislike the guy with a Nazi tattoo, because Nazis are bad. We can dislike Nazi tattoos even when you think that the tattooed guy is masculine-coded, and his detractors are feminine-coded. Life isn't just about gender, and genders aren't teams. It's good if people to vote for Platner in the Senate race, now that the primary is over, but I find it hard to view the normalization of Senate candidates with Nazi tattoos as a sign of pr…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	15/06/26 09:22 PM

3	If harris/walz lose, and insofar as they are losing male voters The first line of the reddit post: "Kamala Harris's team ran a completely stupid ad" The ad in question? Was not put out by Harris' team, it was put out by different people.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	06/11/24 12:51 AM
1	If harris/walz lose, and insofar as they are losing male voters They already think that and it isn’t misinformation It's an extremely straightforward lie to say that the Harris campaign put out an ad that they didn't put out. The ad that pissed people off is not from the Harris campaign, but the subreddit post says that it is.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	06/11/24 12:50 AM
-5	If harris/walz lose, and insofar as they are losing male voters I'm familiar with the line of argument that we should be happy to believe lies because they feel true. It's a bad argument. If the truth backed you up, you wouldn't need lies. Or, to sum up the problem with this line of thinking another way.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	06/11/24 12:49 AM
0	If harris/walz lose, and insofar as they are losing male voters The fact that this subreddit is so fond of anti-Harris misinformation makes all of this tricky. 85% upvotes on a post that lies about what ads the Harris campaign is responsible for, and the post is left up by moderators despite clearly violating subreddit Rule #13. This is a lot of endorsement for blatant and partisan lying. If this subreddit decides to be a group of people who platform and fall for misinformation on election day, it's going to be hard to be taken seriously when the subreddit t…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	05/11/24 11:47 PM
6	Democrats are repeating the mistake of 2016 This post is what a wave of misinformation the night before a US election looks like. Kamala Harris's team ran a completely stupid ad They didn't run the ad, this is simply false. The only 2016-style mistake here is people spreading fake news and libel about the Democrats, and people choosing to fall for it because they prefer being mad to voting responsibly. Please don't fall for this stuff, please don't make this subreddit a GOP misinformation factory.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	04/11/24 05:04 PM
0	I find it suspicious that feminists ignored rigid male gender roles when explaining why men rape. Feminists constantly discuss this stuff to explain rape. They don't always do it well, and they don't do it in 100% of conversations, but it's a very common discussion point as a basic factual matter. This is like 101 routine feminist conversation stuff, it's not some massive blind spot. We really shouldn't fall into the trap of inventing hypocrites in our own heads, or trying to call people wrong by claiming that they aren't engaging with subjects that they constantly engage with. Your entire p…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	20/09/24 10:56 PM
17	Forcible mobilization should be considered as a war crime However for some reason this does not apply to men who are subject to forced mobilization. The reason is that conscription is a useful military tool (or at least, most militaries think it can be). The problem with your logic is that we don't call things "war crimes" because they're morally wrong - if we did, we'd call war itself the crime. We call things "war crimes" because they're morally wrong and not necessary for waging war effectively. Everyone understands that people will ignore any conve…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	14/05/24 12:21 AM
31	Gender Disappointment in 2024 is Almost Always About Boys. "A shameful secret kept from the public eye but omnipresent in online mom spaces" Even if we take the anecdotes at face value, the content doesn't back up the headline that gender disappointment is almost always about boys. Modern-day gender disappointment is primarily an online phenomenon (mom groups, Reddit, etc.) because people don’t want to be judged. I think almost every parent has a slight preference toward having a child of the same sex as themselves A perfectly plausible interpretation is that gender disappointment is mostly a same-gender thing, and mom's groups have …	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	11/05/24 08:42 PM

The odds that you're going to go to jail for making eye contact with a woman at the gym are zero, any stress like that is going to hurt you more than it protects you. You seem to understand that on some level, so I want to make it clear that I'm not trying to make you feel shame or embarrassment about your anxiety.

3	UN should consider Killing of Drafted Men as Civilian Casualties I get that you have a good intention here, but this would be counterproductive in practice. The only meaningful rules we can hold to in international warfare are rules that limit human suffering without substantially limiting military effectiveness. We try to stop armies from killing civilians, because that's not a good way to win a war anyways, but we don't try to stop armies from using machine guns (because no army would listen). We try to enforce decent norms on POW treatment, but we don't tr…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	15/01/24 07:54 AM
18	I really love this scene of Zootopia. It depicts exactly the feelings of men who can't bear to be shown as dangerous . Every bunny knows a bunny that has been attacked by a fox. Everyone knows a fox that has been attacked by a bunny, a fox that has been attacked by a fox, and a bunny that has been attacked by a bunny. There are some statistical skews in there, but they're not so big that people should talk as if only foxes attack only bunnies. Every bunny knows a bunny If you only know the specific stories from one of those combinations, that just reflects who you have certain kinds of conversation with.

Maybe the algorithm found a troll, maybe it found a way to show you opinions that would get warped across a communication barrier, maybe it found an honest opinion from the world's drunkest teenager - none of those situations are worth your attention.

2	What's up with Feminists claiming that women are mostly unfazed by muscular men? People like to claim that their personal preferences are universal, and people like to moralize their personal preferences. This isn't a unique issue with pop feminism and male bodies, though there might be particular blind spots and trends that make it show up more than it would otherwise. at I've seen a lot online ... Thirst tweets about Henry cavill are not rare.... endless thirst posts...

5	The "Male Dominated History" of Earth's civilizations. Yeah, this one of those issues where people uncritically import logic from conversations about racial discrimination into conversations about gender. In the context of racism, it can matter what happened a few generations ago, because wealth and trauma and career opportunity gets passed down through families. In the context of gender, there's no meaningful generational carryover. Most babies are born from mixed-gender couples, and children of any gender inherit from both parents.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	16/08/23 07:01 PM

13	For 133 years of the last 200 years the head of state of Britain (and many other countries) has been female. How can this possibly be viewed as a patriarchy? I mean that the British monarchy doesn't run Britain, so female monarchs in the past 200 years doesn't say anything about who runs Britain. The reason British monarchs didn't legislate something is always "British monarchs don't legislate anything". To be honest, I'm being a little blunt about this because it's such an absurdly bad argument, rotten down to the core in a half dozen different ways. It's not the kind of flawed argument you get when someone makes an honest mistake while trying their…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	31/07/23 01:15 AM
15	For 133 years of the last 200 years the head of state of Britain (and many other countries) has been female. How can this possibly be viewed as a patriarchy? What bizarre argument about a country where parliamentary supremacy was established more than 200 years ago. Next time you feel like you're going to resolve a complicated question about the history of political power, with a simple gotcha-style question, take a breath and slow down. This isn't so easy that you're going to think of amazing arguments that no one else has thought of, while not bothering to think about the actual history and country you're discussing.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	31/07/23 12:00 AM

Homelessness is going up as the cost of housing is skyrocketing past wage growth. Drug use is inevitable, in an increasingly large population of homeless people with no hope of a better life. They have nothing else to live for, and nothing to lose by ODing. I've never touched a drug harder than weed, but if I were homeless I'd be looking for fetanyl within six months.

When comparing along any other axis, reasonable people consider high crime rates as evidence of disadvantage. Poor people commit more crimes, racialized people commit more crimes, undereducated people commit more crimes. This doesn't mean that high crime rates among men can be used as a gotcha to "prove" that men are overwhelmingly disadvantaged in general, but it does reveal the sloppy logic people might rely on here.

As as alternative to youtube videos, the sources from the Wikipedia article seem decent.

2	Can these feminist-aligned, male advocacy groups (MensLib, Good Man Project, NOMAS) make any sort of meaningful contributions if everything they believe is bounded by feminism? You should look at the subreddit sometime - it varies heavily by day and which moderators are active, and the community is often at odds with the moderation to some degree, but this a bit too far removed from the truth. It suffers from these problems, but it's not consistent or universal. They're incapable of allowing any narrative to proceed discussing any problem a male can have without first heavily disclaiming that whatever that problem is, women have it worse, and that the only reason they'…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	15/07/21 06:24 PM

I've never had a mod from any other subreddit ban* me without notice, then try to gaslight me into believing I wasn't banned. "Censorship" is a weird and probably unhelpful word to use in the context of discussing different degrees of subreddit moderation, but the place is lacking in transparency to an unusual extent. *Or whatever the term is for "none of your comments or posts ever show up for anyone else".	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	15/07/21 06:14 PM
8	Why aren't men more afraid? Real-life violence rarely resembles a boxing match. Any large man can easily be taken down by a knife or a bottle, by the element of surprise, by numbers, or by an attacker who is simply willing to escalate unexpectedly. Being larger and stronger wouldn't make you safer. It would actually make you less safe, because violence is limited by social factors.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	03/07/21 05:21 PM

If real, the reason this is one "women's" and one "gender neutral" bathroom is to imply that transwomen are men. This is a case where transwomen and men are both being targeted, and cis women are being placed above everyone else. But hey, don't let basic facts get in the way of a lazy transphobic joke.	/r/MensRights	02/01/20 02:41 AM

1	TIL 34 > 44.8 It’s pretty solid evidence on the reason for the earnings gap though. How? Leaving the incorrect headline aside, the point in the article is that the pay gap is increasing while the hours-worked gap is decreasing. That finding doesn't support hours-worked as the sole factor behind the pay gap, or make a stronger case for it.	/r/MensRights	17/09/18 04:43 PM
1	TIL 34 > 44.8 The first line is poorly written, and misleading in the context of the headline, but not strictly wrong. It's saying women are working more hours (relative to the hours they used to work) and men are working less (relative to the hours they used to work). This is a clear example of wires getting crossed between the journalist/columnist who wrote the article and the editor who wrote the headline.	/r/MensRights	17/09/18 04:41 PM

96	Eliminating feminist teacher bias erases boys’ falling grades, study finds So, this whole blog post seems to be written with the assumption that grades can come from two places and two places only: Test scores, and bias. Issue is that the non-test skills that teachers also take into account do have academic relevance. Turning in assignments on time, and putting the correct amount of work into assignments, reflects abilities with future academic/career relevance. Making grades 100% about test scores is not an inherently correct (or even egalitarian) approach. This doesn…	/r/MensRights	28/12/17 05:08 PM

Fraternities are also a networking thing, and at least claim to be very useful for men looking to get into the business world. Rightly or not, this is probably motivated from a perception of fraternities being a "gettin' jobs and gettin' payed" club that's also for men only. If sororities presented themselves as the best way to get into nursing/teaching, I can imagine some men wanting in.	/r/MensRights	19/02/17 02:13 AM

0	"Why?" is this even a serious question? Men have been told not to rape for a long time, and rape is a lot less common in the developed world than it used to be back when it was socially acceptable, and it wouldn't be at all unreasonable to correlate the two. Where most of us live the issue is that rape is already extremely socially stigmatized, often regarded as worse than murder, and this "why don't we tell men not to rape" business is just facetious pandering with a dash of misandry.	/r/MensRights	04/01/13 03:01 AM
