Hmm... same age as me. I think it's partially a function of our age we come into our own as men with this realization that nobody really taught us how to be men. Or, if they did, we realize it's not the same as a father. I recognize your nick from our local subreddit. If you ever want to chat more about this feel free to message me. I'm literally just up the hill from you! :)

I'm glad you found this to be helpful. In my case I'd say that it was definitely better to have no father as my father was a criminal psychopath. Have you found it helpful to forge a new relationship or at least communication with your father's relatives? Also, about how old are you? I am approaching 40 and I have found that my need for a father has evolved with age.

Sure, women can and should get involved. However, the movement ought to be led by men and I would say the converse for the women's movement. You may call yourself a feminist but I am not. You may wish to get involved in the women's movement but I do not. Neither of us are wrong.

Yes, we can't have an honest conversation about our movement without acknowledging that there are, in fact, some rather toxic actors associated with it. I'm a man and while I wish the best for women and girls that is not my focus. The men's movement is about the health and well-being of men and boys. If healthy men and boys positively impacts women and girls, that's great, but that should never be the primary focus. Men and women are different and I think the movements must be separate; A women'…

Find your ideals and stop basing them on the actions of others. I see you are getting downvoted but I strongly agree with your statement. I've always thought it a tad misguided to frame our movement as a reaction to another movement that is commonly discussed on this sub. I think that is understandable considering how that movement/ideology predominates any discussion of gender but if we are going to make positive change I think we must centre our efforts on improving the health and wellness of …

It's spelled "knit pick," but I don't think you're knit-picking nitpicking at all. The widespread ignorance of the most basic aspects of our systems of government is deeply concerning. Edit: Apparently I'm a pedantic nitpicker who can't even spell the damn word! LOL

That would appear to be in violation of the Ontario Human Rights Code: Services 1 Every person has a right to equal treatment with respect to services, goods and facilities, without discrimination because of race, ancestry, place of origin, colour, ethnic origin, citizenship, creed, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, age, marital status, family status or disability.

Agreed. This could be cited as a good example to follow in other jurisdictions. Resistance to change or policy often boils down to no previous experience. However, if policymakers in other places learn that something like this has been successfully implemented elsewhere then they don't need to re-invent the wheel.

Thank you! Unfortunately the media has zero sympathy our movement and it is incumbent upon us to do better than those who oppose us. The fact is a lot of feminists support those radical feminist professors and in the most egregious cases they will say, "she's not a real feminist," or, "that's not true feminism." I think that's intellectually dishonest and I refuse to engage in those tactics. So, when there is a voice in our movement who conducts him or herself like garbage I will be the first to…

Unfortunately there is a dark side to the men's movement characterized by vitriol and anger. I am not terribly familiar with Elam but I can say that his communication style does not align with me or my values at all. In my view, our movement ought to be centred on the health and wellness of men and boys in our respective societies. We should constantly strive to build positive spaces and supports for our men and boys rather than tearing things and people down.

I'm not sure that men who have been subjected to genital mutilation are necessarily insecure about their status but it's not helpful tell anyone that they are somehow defective. I am intact and am hellbent on eliminating this barbaric procedure but I don't think it's right to denigrate men who have been subjected to the same. Every man is entitled to his own feelings on his body and I think we must respect that and refrain from making bold claims about men based on their genital status. That bei…

Yes, I am older than you and have never had a moment where I desired children. Many men are in the same boat. The desire for children is not an inevitable part of aging for everyone.

Not everyone's perspective on wanting children changes with age. Your perspective on this has changed whereas mine has not and will not. You are not the same as me or any other man who never wants to be a father.

I may be able to shine some light on this. I've become quite familiar with Facebook's "hate speech" algorithm and have observed that Facebook tends to remove any comments or posts that make blanket statements about an entire race, gender or sexual orientation. So, if someone put, "fat men are terrible" that would get a pass but if someone wrote, "all men are terrible" that would be removed. I have had several man-hating posts removed on this basis. So, I don't think this post was removed because…

The men's movement isn't inherently anti-feminist. That is, we shouldn't hold back on doing something that may benefit the health and wellness of men simply because feminists are doing the same for women. I think the feminists are correct to create women-only events and spaces because there is a need for that sort of thing. Likewise, I think there is a very big need for men-only events and spaces.

The last point is important. There's little if any evidence that circumcision causes impact to sexual pleasure. I'm intact and when I jerk off I pretty much only touch those bits that probably would have been hack off if I had the misfortune of being born in the United States. That is the most sensitive and pleasurable part of my body.

I agree with you. Some of the most prominent and effective champions of male issues happen to be women. In fact, when you think of the movement as a whole names like Cassie Jaye, Karen Straughan and Janice Fiamengo come to mind. Furthermore, most Canadian women love the men and boys in their lives and want the best for them. For example, when I do my "MRA elevator speech" to people in social situations I find that mothers of men and boys tend to be the most receptive. I think women are essential…

It's in Section 237 of the Criminal Code of Canada: Every female person who commits infanticide is guilty of an indictable offence and liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding five years.

I'm not sure I'm following you. I don't think we should lobby against each other. However, I know that the feminist movement, especially of the third wave intersectional variety, takes a very dim view of the men's movement. I have found that some of my attempts to advance men's issues are met with open hostility from those types and I view that as a problem.

Two movements with their own goals don't necessarily have to be in opposition to one another. I don't think that the advancement of women's equality needs to take anything away anything from men and vice-versa.
/r/MensRights12/08/18 06:54 AM

I know some hard-core feminists who agree with me on the point that feminism should focus on the advancement of women and girls and the men's movement should stick to men and boys. Furthermore, she agreed that these two movements must be separate and distinct. A men's movement that is seriously committed to the health and well-being of men and boys can not and should not seek the sanction or approval of the feminist movement.

As a "survivor" myself I happen to agree with you... and I'm sure the guy writing it does as well. However, this is an unfortunate turn of phrase that has a lot of resonance in the culture here in Vancouver. He's taking what you and I think is a shitty phrase and using it to highlight our plight.

That is a wonderful suggestion although it never crossed my mind. I was the last born in my family so I was never really around people who were much younger than myself. Additionally, I think I have internalized many of the negative stereotypes about men perpetuated by my teachers growing up.

You should not act solely out of self interest. Agreed! The whole point of a movement is to work for the greater good.

That is, how do parents and/or doctors force this procedure on an unwilling child? If it's not medically necessary surely they can't subject him to this if he objects?

I'm just happy that Mary Bryson is being taken down a notch. This, I can assure you, is the tip of the iceberg. If anything I hope this encourages more of her students to come forward with their stories.
