| 8 | As a feminist I might be over looking the men's issue. So tell me what are they?No. Male circumcision is steeped in the same barbaric history of removing sexual sensitivity from boys, as FGM was. Most FGM is the removal of the prepuce, the clitoral hood, and not the entire clitoris. This type of FGM (type 1a) is directly comparable to circumcision, as it is quite literally the removal of the exact same biological tissue as the male foreskin. As I said in a previous comment - please educate yourself. | /r/MensRights | 26/11/24 09:02 AM |
| 6 | As a feminist I might be over looking the men's issue. So tell me what are they?You are wrong. One is not worse than the other, as there is far too much variance in both procedures. Eg an adult woman in the UK who consensually goes to have her labia pierced, will be classified as a victim of FGM. A young Filipino boy having his foreskin sliced off over a wooden stump by a village elder, and then ‘washing’ the wound in a dirty river as part of tuli… Or a Jewish baby boy being circumcised and then having the mohul place the wound into his mouth to provide ‘oral suction’, as p… | /r/MensRights | 26/11/24 08:57 AM |

Since then CALM no longer specifically caters to men, but women too, and just seems to be another generic commercial blob. Plenty of women have done wonderful things to specifically help men.

| 42 | Are definitions of psychopathy centred on men?Feminist advocacy talks often about how ‘medical models are designed around male bodies’. If you go far enough back then yes; drug dosages, symptoms, and treatments, were often designed around male bodies. This led to the invisibilisation of many women, where the unique ways in which heart disease, stroke, or cancer presented in female bodies, was often overlooked, minimised or ignored entirely. But whilst there is a kernel of (albeit exaggerated) truth to these claims, one thing is entirely mis… | /r/MensRights | 30/08/24 09:42 AM |

| 90 | Is the education system rigged against boys?The last 50 years have seen the scrutinisation and overhaul of our workplaces to make them more accommodating to women. It’s the field of ‘systemic bias’. 80% of board directors are men, and such men, through no fault of their own, will more often design a working environment, and style of work, that is naturally more suitable to other men.

| 8 | Women to be able to avoid sitting next to men, on IndiGo flights.No it doesn't, as women and men will still be sat with one another, and this technology could actually make it possible for a predatory men to temporarily select 'woman', and see (and target) exactly where all the women are sat. Not to mention, as much as SA is a major problem in India, the idea of a man raping a woman whilst he is sat next to her, 30,000 feet in the air, in a plane where security is absolutely paramount, is hard to believe. | /r/MensRights | 31/07/24 09:09 PM |

| 86 | What can the largest database of domestic violence research tell us?If you make your political ideas a fundamental part of who you are, it makes them so much harder to change. When your beliefs are built into your community, your work, your lifestyle, and how you identify; when you’ve quite literally bought and worn the t-shirt, changing such opinions is much like changing your skin. It’s difficult. One of these stubborn ideas is the antiquated notion of domestic violence being a “gendered crime”, and that ‘the vast majority of victims are women’; with male surv… | /r/MensRights | 18/12/23 12:08 PM |

| 91 | Why does nobody talk about biphobia against bimen?Bisexual men experience a unique type of biphobia, that sees them as cheaters, disease carriers, or as ‘secretly gay’. Much of this reveals itself within the dating market, where many of the women who are supportive of equality, free love, and bisexual men, suddenly refuse to date them. A kind of sexual nimbyism, so to speak. Two thirds of women would not date a bisexual man who has had sex with another man. More than four in five would not date a bisexual person altogether.

| 3 | Why the solution to building men's shelters is not simpleYes shelters often say this, but in fact what they actually have are male perpetrator programmes. Perhaps it could be the same as the UK, where all councils have a legally duty to protect survivors, but this just means sending men to homeless shelters or a hotel - neither are fit for purpose. Yes I am apprehensive about suggesting any man contacts an abuse service, anyone who has spoken to / read about men who reached out for help would say the same.

| 12 | It's not all badYou said that already, and still no.

A few hours later LWMA is back. 3 – Once open, I post that I do not think the current mods are fit for purpose. 4 – However, as a newly assigned mod I decide to work with them anyway. 5 – I spent every night s… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 20/07/23 12:51 PM |
| 7 | @thetinmen is leaving r/leftwingmaleadvocatessubtly trying to create doubt over the current head mod. Subtly? I was explicit in how i felt the mods had failed to keep LWMA going, did little to restore it, or even help me rebuild LWMA when it was reopened. This is not a power grab, I said repeatedly, I never wanted to even be head mod, and I still don't want to be long term. But I volunteered my time because I love LWMA, and so many here asked me to step in. So I worked every night since then to bring it back to a good place. I did this alo… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 20/07/23 12:39 PM |
| 9 | @thetinmen is leaving r/leftwingmaleadvocatesYes I certainly could have chosen better words. But I don't want it to be lost that (a) I was the one who cleared the mod queue that was neglected by the current mods, (b) contacted people apologising for them not being approved, (c) shared with the LWMA community the plan of action going forward, (d) rebranded the sub and encouraged my community to come back, (e) compiled a list of people who I felt were good moderators to replace me. I did that with no support, and I openly shared my annoyance… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 20/07/23 12:31 PM |

| 209 | The Male ExperienceContrary to popular belief; life as a male is not always to live it on easy mode. From the day many are born, to the day they die, it is often to live a life of vulnerability, violation, disadvantage, and neglect. Whether it’s the needless infant circumcision of babies on day zero, the way boys are left behind in western education, how they are so often sexually violated in adolescence, the unique vulnerabilities in adulthood, or lack of rights in fatherhood; the many issues that plague boys and… | /r/MensRights | 20/07/23 07:23 AM |
| 6 | @thetinmen is leaving r/leftwingmaleadvocatesAgreed. I don’t want to be head mod, at least not long term, and have said that a few times. I just got a lot of support for being the one to get things back in order, after the disaster of the current team. These last few days I thought I had done that, had worked hard to rebuild, and was excited to continue. Now I am ‘not needed’. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 19/07/23 06:30 PM |
| 15 | @thetinmen is leaving r/leftwingmaleadvocatesTo be clear, I would not have appointed my mods here (largely because they’re very busy), I had already gathered a list of people who are members of both communities that I thought would be suitable for LWMA, and was contacting them today. Then this happened. To be honest, this talk of my mods seems like a paper tiger, but if there is truth to it, I want to find out the details. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 19/07/23 06:27 PM |
| 16 | @thetinmen is leaving r/leftwingmaleadvocatesI get brigaded all the time, I know what it’s like, I do not want to brigade LWMA.

| 10 | @thetinmen is leaving r/leftwingmaleadvocatesI know. I genuinely was excited to relaunch LWMA and try and bring more of my community here. I even did a little bit of rebranding! Oh well. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 19/07/23 06:02 PM |
| 12 | @thetinmen is leaving r/leftwingmaleadvocatesYeah I never wanted to brigade anyone. I just wanted LWMA to know why I am leaving, and that I am not happy with the mod team. You refused to allow such a post. I then said I’d do it on my page instead, to share my story, which I am entitled to do Then you approved the post.

| 18 | @thetinmen is leaving r/leftwingmaleadvocatesNo, I asked you to approve this post so I could transparently share that iam leaving and why. You refused. In response, I said I was going to make what you are doing public on my page, to share what was going on, as my community is essentially the same as LWMA. You then approved the post. I do not plan on sharing anything on TheTinMen for as long as this post remains open and the discussion transparent. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 19/07/23 05:57 PM |

| 3 | The straw that breaks the camel's backI don't understand, this isn't basic maths, its basic common sense. An overrepresentation of women in the general population impacts the numbers for both life-time and annual prevalence. Do all these missing men magically reappear for the annual data? The proportion of men:women within the general population is the same, whether you're asking 'have you been abused in your lifetime', or 'have you been abused in the last 12 months'.

| 3 | The straw that breaks the camel's backLifespan doesn’t affect yearly incidence, that’s why I asked for those numbers, and neither is a measure of frequency Yes it does, it impacts everything. Men have higher mortality rates in America, leading to a smaller male population (167,323,115 vs 171,611,692). Meaning the absolute number of male victims of DV ( even yearly rates), is a larger % slice of all men. We should be looking at weighted (%), which is 5.5% for men and 4.5% for women, (12 month prevalence of physical violence.) | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 18/07/23 05:30 PM |

| 7 | Sympathy for the devilI do actually post frequently about Black men, and totally accept that they pay a double penalty when it comes to so many intersectional issues – particularly education, criminal justice, health outcomes, violent crime and police brutality. I don't know if you're familiar with my page, but I have shared probably a dozen or so posts on the unique experiences of Black men, (and gay men, trans men, and men/boys from developing countries).

| 7 | Sympathy for the devilPlease calm down with the accusations of lying and cherry picking. Yes, I have gone back over the data for this draft post and you are right about multi-ethnic groups. I suppose it's difficult to separate out such a group considering anyone of mixed race is in there – I'll have a think about how I can address this. And no this is not one citation or cherry picking, there are numerous studies and surveys showing that white men are most at risk to suicide, particularly from deaths of despair.

| 26 | Sympathy for the devilAnother WIP draft, so please let me know of any errors / feedback! Question: why is the most ‘privileged’ member of society, also the one most likely to kill themselves? It’s a question that will tie many a feminist in knots of outrage; spluttering nonsense as they blabber on about patriarchy backfiring, or toxic masculinity, or some meagre lip service about crying. So again – why do men, especially white men, choose to end their life at such high rates? Perhaps it has something do to with the h… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 09/03/23 06:41 PM |

| 32 | It's time to talkIt’s good to talk. And over the last five years I’ve seen a wonderful renaissance of mental health advocacy encouraging men to do so. But whilst I recognise and applaud the importance of men and boys developing their emotional literacy, talking about their pain, and building relationships with fellow men like them, so too I believe that talking is just the first step of progress. The next step is everybody listening. And after that comes societal change. Men and boys have shown incredible braver… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 01/03/23 11:49 AM |

As for the rates, this is essentially saying if we take 100 American men and 100 American women, those men will die at 1.4 times the rate as the women.

Yes, that’s right.The suggestion that simply my meeting a man, on any given day, you have a one in six chance of dying.

Whenever I find myself talking about domestic violence, or sexual abuse, or parenting, or body image, or gender equality in general, often the response is, "ah so you’re a feminist too?"

They are, in many ways, the same thing. A faceless system of oppression, power and control. A cartoonish conspiracy of domination; that is omnipresent, impossible to describe, open to interpretation, and well… meaningless.

| 15 | What are men's rights?This is really interesting. Thank you. It's difficult, as you need to basically quote entire paragraphs from the Children Act to make the point of fathers lacking equal rights, and I hoped that clause did so succinctly. As we know – in the UK, fathers either need to be married, or named on the birth certificate, to have full parental rights (responsibility), both of which the mother can deny.

These are tax funded organisations, that are refusing to protect one in three of DV survivors. In London, where I live, there are no shelters for men.

| 8 | Small changes make big differences.I've just had a look and honestly this kind of thing fills me with utter despair. I don't condone anyone using this shaming language, but I do have some understanding for how some women can fall into it, considering their lack of lived insight into the male experience, the communities they often exist in and the fact they may be dealing with trauma involving men. But to see men using these hateful and bigoted ideas and perspectives, toward other men, especially in a sub for men's mental health m… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 09/12/21 08:25 PM |
| 9 | Small changes make big differences.I must admit, I find it painfully ironic how feminist communities ask that men step out of politics around women’s reproductive rights, yet they themselves gate keep, and try to control the entire conversation around men’s mental health. I don’t understand how these people are so unaware of their own hypocrisy. As for a post about it, I’ll have a think. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 09/12/21 03:24 PM |
| 16 | Small changes make big differences.Fundamentally I believe in challenging ideas, including many of the central pillars of feminist theory, particularly the concept of patriarchy. We seem to be endlessly smashing it, with no end in sight, or perimeters set for when such a smashing is complete. Meanwhile the issues of men and boys continue to exist, and develop further. I genuinely feel we cannot start to fix the issues men and boys face, whilst we insist upon this obscene and cruel fairy tail of Western patriarchy.

| 38 | Small changes make big differences.I think we can all agree that a widening and deepening of discourse around gender is of benefit to everyone. For me, my push back around the term ‘male privilege’ revolves entirely around how it seems to suggest there is just one type of privilege, of which men are the sole benefactor. As whilst there certainly are male ‘privileges’, there are also alternate and opposing privileges experienced by women too. So is there space to change the conversation?

Talking of podcasts, I’ve just finished one with a researcher on male suicide, who despises the term ‘toxic masculinity’ too.

| 17 | The Ugly TruthWe may not like it. We may not want to believe it. We may be afraid to share it, or talk about it with our friends. But it remains true. And that’s the thing about truth. It’s not measured in mass appeal, and it’s not up for debate. Truth isn’t an opinion and it doesn’t come down to likes, shares, comments or followers. Truth is not a popularity contest, which is good, because we’d never win if it were. It’s not pretty, it’s the ugly truth.

Instead, isn’t it also good to ask *why* men can’t cry?What kind of cold world creates these unfeeling men? Is it a world that asks men to talk about their feelings, then denies the issues they speak about even exist? Or if they do, men surely did it to themselves?

| 14 | More excellent work by the so called 'equality' movement.Thanks for this feedback, I just changed the wording to help this in the final Instagram post – nice one! | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 13/02/21 03:37 PM |

| 3 | The Tin Men: PodcastI'm curious to know where you would want to go with it politically I've been strongly leftwing all my life, even before I knew what 'left wing' was. I'm a Labour party member and a passionate remainer, who was at the People's Vote and BLM protests. I believe in socialism in many circumstances, but I also believe there's a place for a reformed capitalist society in other areas too – perhaps Rhine Capitalism. I also adopt ideas from Classical liberalism, mainly the idea of the individual ahead of … | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 12/02/21 11:02 AM |
| 5 | The Tin Men: PodcastI'm probably going to use my first name, I don't know yet. It's not live, so if I can cut it out in post production then I will. But I can't help but ignore this feeling that i'm doing nothing wrong, if anything I should be proud of this. By hiding who I am, I am giving into the trolls and not presenting myself with the same transparency that makes me content unique. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 12/02/21 10:41 AM |
| 1 | The Tin Men: PodcastIt’ll be part scripted and certainly edited, but also conversational in areas. I imagine about 20-30 minutes. What do you think? | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 12/02/21 10:35 AM |
| 5 | Treat the issue, not the gender.Did they provide a source? It sounds like they’re confusing DV with perpetrators of violent street crime. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 12/02/21 10:34 AM |
| 2 | The Tin Men: PodcastYes please! That would be great - you can also loop me in at [email protected] if useful. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 11/02/21 06:42 PM |
| 10 | The Tin Men: PodcastYes, I’d love to get their perspective too! | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 11/02/21 06:41 PM |
| 5 | The Tin Men: PodcastThank you ❤️ | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 11/02/21 06:40 PM |
| 7 | The Tin Men: PodcastI'm keen to just be myself, I don't want to hide and any voice filter will give people the presumption of guilt. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 11/02/21 04:11 PM |

| 5 | Two sides of the coinI’d just ask at what point does the ‘patriarchy’ become so damaging to men that it no longer fits as a system designed to their benefit. Like honestly, where are the majority of men advantaged exactly? Here’s some good points I’ve been putting out too. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 11/02/21 10:08 AM |
| 4 | Treat the issue, not the gender.You can share them directly on my Instagram page @thetinmen where they combine quite nicely into shareable slideshows. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 11/02/21 10:05 AM |
| 2 | Two sides of the coinPlease! Was this unmarried women? | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 11/02/21 12:35 AM |
| 10 | Two sides of the coinFor months and months my posts would just get harassed and hated on, people would just pour conceit and cynicism over everything. But slowly I patched it up, changed my approach, learnt from my mistakes and now these people have just pissed off. I never noticed how much hate I got until I started reposting old stuff during these last few months, and reading the old comments. It was awful to see what are clearly my good intentions and hard work beating torn to shreds by a bunch of assholes, every… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 11/02/21 12:12 AM |
| 9 | Two sides of the coinI'm certainly no expert in coverture laws, but what I've read is that some laws 'made husbands responsible for their wives’ debts and for their wives’ reasonable maintenance during the marriage', but I too would like to know how this debt was created by the woman. Another interesting thing I've read was: 'A married woman had the right to be maintained in a manner commensurate with her husband’s social status. If he refused to provide for her appropriately, she could sue and win support from the … | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 10/02/21 11:14 PM |

| 15 | Treat the issue, not the gender.This was one explanation given by OP u/gregathon_1 One thing to consider is that many people who murder their spouses are often trapped in abusive relationships themselves. Their murder is usually seen as being either retaliatory or in self-defense. This theory is known as the "battered partner syndrome", and it applies to both men and women (although there is something of a double standard when this explanation is applied to men). One researcher noted that according to several key criteria of t… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 10/02/21 09:14 PM |
| 15 | Two sides of the coinThe UK, I’m not sure how voting rights worked elsewhere if I’m honest. More info here. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 10/02/21 06:58 PM |
| 13 | Two sides of the coinThe point I’m making is that most men, and all women had no right to vote (until 1918). | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 10/02/21 06:35 PM |
| 53 | Two sides of the coinThe conversation of gender equality is detailed and riddled with nuance, yet we often only talk about one side... | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 10/02/21 03:55 PM |
| 22 | Treat the issue, not the gender.Kudos to u/gregathon_1 for their data that I used for this. Abused men have nowhere to go – and I really do mean nowhere. America has just two refuges for male survivors of domestic violence. London has none. In fact, in 2018 the whole of England had only 20 beds dedicated for male survivors, with 3,600 for abused women. Whilst Earl Silverman who ran Canada’s only refuge for men (out of his own home and with his own money), had it closed down and subsequently killed himself. So no, there is no s… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 10/02/21 03:20 PM |
| 3 | Is this the tone of voice we need?<3 Thank you! You LWMA guys are all making it possible. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 08/02/21 04:17 PM |
| 1 | Don't F**ck with us, Jezebel writers admit to abusive behaviour.It's made even worse because feminism is supposed to be about encouraging men to take their health more seriously, because let's face it, many of us don't. But here we have someone physically assaulting a man for showing concern for his well being.. sadly ironic. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 08/02/21 10:49 AM |
| 13 | Re: Do you guys hate feminism?My content is one of the resources being used here and I don’t hate feminism either. I just want it reformed. Feminism remains an extremely useful tool to help support women through difficult life experiences, I don’t want to deprive anyone of that. It’s the political and radicalised rock throwing feminism that I want ended. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 07/02/21 11:31 AM |
| 1 | What do you see?I recommend going full screen on a computer, maybe download and open in preview. Then move your face slowly toward the screen until your nose is touching it and back again, sometimes it helps to kind of cross your eyes. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 07/02/21 09:21 AM |
| 1 | What do you see?This is an interesting take on it too, hadn’t thought of that. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 06/02/21 08:12 AM |
| 3 | What do you see?You may well be right, I’m really just trying out different approaches and tones of voice, so it’s good to get your feedback. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 05/02/21 11:51 PM |
| 31 | What do you see?This is something new, I don't see why men's rights can't be expressive, poetic and human centred too. It can't all be pie charts, empirical data and numbers with lots of zeros on the end. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 05/02/21 04:36 PM |
| 8 | Don't F**ck with us, Jezebel writers admit to abusive behaviour.This is perfect. It’s incredible how often feminist slogans can be used against those using them - ‘consenting to sex isn’t consenting to parenthood’, for example. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 05/02/21 01:17 PM |
| 2 | Don't F**ck with us, Jezebel writers admit to abusive behaviour.Do you have a link to this? | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 05/02/21 09:10 AM |
| 3 | Intersectional MisandryThis was so interesting, thank you! | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 05/02/21 09:08 AM |
| 5 | Don't F**ck with us, Jezebel writers admit to abusive behaviour.Same. Some of my followers have been contacting the owners of Jezebel to ask why.. [email protected] Feel free to ask them too! | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 05/02/21 06:22 AM |
| 15 | Don't F**ck with us, Jezebel writers admit to abusive behaviour.It’s not just the physical damage of DV that hurts, it’s the emotional damage of why is this person who I love doing this to me? Also, physical differences in size count for nothing if the smaller person has a bottle, a glass or worse. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 04/02/21 08:11 PM |
| 7 | Intersectional MisandryI agree, it’s not something I want to overly dig down into - but the compounding of racism/homophobia etc with misandry is a perspective I’ve not seen before, despite compelling evidence. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 04/02/21 07:30 PM |
| 6 | Intersectional MisandryWow, that is.. completely counter productive. This division of left leaning politics into smaller and smaller oppression based groups is so disheartening. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 04/02/21 07:28 PM |
| 4 | Intersectional MisandryIs there any more info on this? The idea of gay men being ostracised from the LGBT community is shocking and something I'd like to cover. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 04/02/21 06:56 PM |
