Thank you! Without this sub, I think I’d probably feel like I was going insane. 😅 But I gotta remember that’s what they want.

Awesome, people don’t usually see the vision of what I’m going for. I’ll look forward to your thoughts!

It wasn’t really there to be evidence. It was there to be mine, and supported by evidence. I wouldn’t call this paper pure philosophy, it sits more at the intersection of philosophy, prose, and research. This did begin as a project for myself at first, but I’m at a point where I’ve lost IRL friends over these perspectives, so I’m now wanting to take the paper as far as it can go. People keep construing this paper as “anti-feminist”. I endorse egalitarian modes of its practice explicitly, yet at …

You should check out my recent post, I think I get into this phenomenon pretty helpfully in a paper I’m working on.

Really just use your best judgement! Keep in mind the sub we’re on. Last time, I got a comment from someone who said they had a doctorate in philosophy, then went on to tell me to remove references to my personal experiences because nobody gives a shit. But it doesn’t take a philosopher to say that, it only takes an asshole and a qualitatively poor left wing male advocate. It just has to be constructive. And keep in mind I haven’t reworked the philosophy-heavy parts of the text yet.

I understand this, but while feminists are not RESPONSIBLE for male loneliness, there should definitely be some accountability for their part. Feminism is the leading movement in favour of gender equality. The fact of the matter is that in terms of this discussion, feminism is in the best position to generate change. Many men’s issues stem from patriarchal attitudes, but feminism cannot claim to be for “everyone” if it does not feel any kind of attachment to men’s issues. When feminism makes roo…

I’d like to respectfully disagree, on account of the so prominent notion where I live in the western world (including North America and Americanised Europe) that feminism and the left are “for everyone”. Hell, that’s the reason a lot of men are dissatisfied with the left. It’s because the left claims to be for them, but does not “walk the walk”, so to speak. As a leftist, I do agree with a lot of what you say. Leftism and feminism aren’t at fault- they aren’t deserving of being discarded. But wh…

To most of your points, I thank you, and will take them under consideration. To a couple, I disagree. It is commonplace today for professors in English and Philosophy to condone or even encourage the usage of anecdote and the first-person pronoun sparingly. I did not write of my experience because you have to care; I did so because I care, because I do not care that you do not care, and because one’s choosing not to care itself works in favour of my arguments. That said, I will be restructuring …

Thank you for making me elaborate on them! I’ve found myself having to expand on my thoughts in ways I haven’t been able to on my own, talking to commenters. The feedback is invaluable.

Sorry! I was a little touchy, this paper made some people mad last time and it was a fraction of the length. Thank you for your feedback, I’ve received some great insights already (like last time), and I’ll be workshopping this further. It feels like I may have pages more to go now!

Thank you for your feedback! I’m typing this reply at around 6AM my time but I don’t want to forget these thoughts, I’ll get them out now. You’re right, I wrote that bit about “jargonistic language” when this was about 1/3 the length, so probably time I do away with it. Same with “ostentation of academic writing”. Oops. Anyway, yes, there are feminist scholars who have worked with men’s issues. Much of the time they do, they even cite many among the same issues I’m citing. For the purposes of ma…

I understand this. However, “male loneliness epidemic” is still not a misleading term. A problem that is affecting them disproportionately is allowed to be discussed a men’s issue, just as the inverse is true for women. “Loneliness epidemic” and “male loneliness epidemic” may at once be true- they are not mutually exclusive.

Okay, so you want to hear an account from a man. I’d be happy to include one. But I’m also disinclined from pretending any longer that you’re not being kind of an asshole. This is an early draft of this paper. If you want men to write about issues that arise in association with being men, then you’re the one who should quit whining. This is about the male loneliness epidemic- ironically, it’s about how you’re wrong for so much as saying anyone doesn’t suffer it just because you don’t, and how pe…

Again, it’s not about feminism. It’s about certain feminists. I more or less described radical feminism to you in that comment. I agree feminism did cool things. I agree I am not materially impeded from writing by feminism. My point is not that women do not ever face the same issue; that’s deflection. My point is that there are too many (and a still growing number) of feminists who don’t abide by the principle of equality upon which feminism is founded for many men to comfortably engage with fem…

Sorry, when you say your input doesn’t matter as much, are you a visiting woman? Nothing against it in the least, it just makes for interesting conversation to know given the subject matter. Respectfully, this paper isn’t an attack on feminist literature. And I have made substantive edits to make it seem less so. However, feminism is not altogether irrelevant, either. I would say that this is not a critique of feminism, which I hold nothing against and have worked with the lens of myself, but a …

I appreciate that insight! It’s something I’d been considering, but now I will. As it happens, I’m an autistic man and was as a child victim of a sexual assault, which has led me to have low self-esteem, and be rather easily taken advantage of by the women in my life. I can’t say just yet how deep into things I’ll get, but there are absolutely life experiences I could put out there in the way you’re describing to great effect.

Thank you for commenting, I appreciate that. It’s honestly been driving me a little insane. That conversation went on way too long, there were times it actually felt like I was talking to some kind of AI designed to regurgitate the same feminist rhetoric I wrote this essay to let people know we should be spared. This paper was designed so that as soon as you refuse to engage with it on the terms it lays out, you’ve already reinforced its message. I’m going to have a new draft ready soon, I’m int…

If it’s any consolation, I got tired of her not getting the most fundamental point I made this post to bring to light and reported her to mods for pretty clear gatekeeping. She hasn’t gotten back to me again so she may be banned. Which is just as well if she can’t handle being told things aren’t the way she’d have them be.

If men say that they don’t want to have their issues lumped in with feminism, and women like you say “too bad”, that is quite literally being against those men. There’s… no moral grey area here, you’re just convincing yourself there is. This is the conceit I warned of in my paper. Women did not invent thinking about men. That is one of the most stupid claims I have ever heard anyone stake. If women think women invented thinking about men critically, then fuck thousands of years of the philosophy…

I’m sorry, are you serious right now? No, you do not get to credit feminism with the conception of men’s issues. You’ve missed the moral messaging COMPLETELY if you’re just going to repeat “yeah but women talk about men”. Yeah. That’s the problem. Men want to talk about men. And they don’t want it demanded it’s done under the umbrella of your framework. The ‘masculinity studies’ conceived of by feminism are a half-measure, because women can’t understand men as well as they give themselves credit…

You’re… I don’t know how to make this simpler. The approach of asking men what’s wrong and exploring that is not flawed. It’s the only approach to understanding men that ISN’T flawed. You’re STILL trying to push feminist theory here in ways I explicitly criticise it being pushed, substituting its own theoretical framework for men’s voices. You said you didn’t feel right speaking to men’s experiences, but you’re slapping a lens of feminism over it because it’s the way you know how to engage with …
/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates19/09/25 07:53 PM

No, it isn’t. Feminism much of the time actively discourages masculinity studies. There’s a reason it’s still an emerging study and gets men laughed out of discussions on gender. Feminism’s fight for equality is highly selective. I’m not saying that’s deliberate, but it’s an unfortunate feature of a lot of feminism in practice. To make the same point again, it presumes to speak for men, and men are saying “hey, if you guys were so interested in equality for all in equal measure, what’s the deal?…

Not all feminists are bad, that isn’t the point of this post. They’re just experientially different, and sometimes misguidedly fall into traps of logical fallacy based on assumptions about men that are very deeply entrenched in our societies. Edit: Anyone downvoting this comment (because some of you are), grow up. I’m very, VERY clearly still on your side.

I feel like you both are operating on definitions of different brands of feminism, and one is definitely more aggressive in its ideology of female uplifting, enough so that it loses sight of ways in which it puts down the non-female. That said, there absolutely are good and healthy brands of feminism, and some people can lose sight of that, too.

Fair! Yeah, I can dial that back for sure. It’s not essential to the argument, after all. I’m about to go to bed but I’ve gotten a lot of good feedback and resources from posting this so I’ll probably be back with a final draft sometime next week (:

Interesting! Honestly, overfedvenison and whetstonefires make seriously compelling points that align pretty damn closely with my experience. A lot of this sounds… yeah. If I want a place to go and express myself, and be cared about, there’s the right wing. But being a (relative) leftist and aspiring philosopher is awkward, that way. I can’t do that, or I won’t feel like I have any right to claim I know what I’m talking about when I get into right from wrong. So to be fair, I think I belong to a …

That is not my experience at all. I was called a creep the other day for being present on the same university campus as an ex girlfriend; the university I attend. I personally have been turned away from teaching positions for my sex; told that parents ‘won’t feel comfortable’ with a man around their children. I’ve been told to my face that when a man wants a child, it’s more like wanting a pet than when a woman wants a child. I bring up men’s issues, and what I hear is women in my “gender studie…

Oh, the student is absolutely projecting. But the practical difference between acting like a cruel person and being one? Nothing. If you don’t make the effort not to suck, you’re… gonna suck.

Edit: this paper isn’t the kind that draws on research to disguise irrationality as rationality. Anyone can produce a faulty study, and anyone can buy into the findings of one. My goal is to make my core argument in terms of basic moral reasoning which can be neither argued against nor dismissed as failing to meet ethical standards. When women say women have a problem, we as a society treat women as having a problem. When men say men have a problem, we as a society are writing men off as problem…

Yes. I am making reference to works that have been used to define frameworks of ethics for centuries. If you’d like, I can send you the names of the works I draw on. But the point is that feminism is about the absolute right of a gender to self-determination, and conveniently forgets that fact only when it comes to men. The majority of voices in the field of gender studies are female. A great number of STUDIES in the field of gender studies in relation to men rely on statistics for violence, and…

Saying the male loneliness epidemic is a sexist myth is a sexist myth. General attitudes towards men in many societies are shifting in a bad way, while attitudes towards women trend towards the positive. Men’s mental health is critically under-recognised as a problem, and if you’re a man with mental health issues on account of that gendered empathy gap, you get made fun of and demonised. It isn’t a ‘narrative’. You should go read the philosophical essay I put out today in this group. It deals wi…

It wasn’t a very melodramatic comment by the other guy OR me. Yours blows things WAY more out of proportion. You can’t say “don’t be dramatic” and spend paragraphs saying we’re being too sensitive, acting like slaves or a minority that gets stoned to death. Come on, buddy. That’s just ridiculous, and if you can show me where someone actually acted like that to warrant your remarks, I’ll eat my own hand. Nobody you’re responding to is acting “like a slave”. You’re just acting like they are.

You say that, but you’re making the mockery. Yes, the issues aren’t as bad. But that isn’t in and of itself cause to belittle them. It doesn’t mean they don’t exist. The hypocrisy of suggesting men’s issues aren’t mocked or ignored in the same breath as you mock and ignore them is.. pretty unbelievably stupid.

When I say “women like you”, I mean no offence by it. Or rather, I do, but you are misinterpreting it grossly. I am not referring to women as a demographic by any means. When I say “women like you”, I mean women who come into men’s spaces with nothing but toxicity and expect everyone to love you for it. If you want not to be what I’m calling a “woman like you”, be more respectful, and conduct yourself more respectably. If you’d prefer I just say what I mean by it, then fine, you’re belligerent, …

To reiterate. My problem isn’t with your opinion itself. It’s with this being a space for the discussion of men’s issues, and yourself being woefully ill prepared to discuss them respectfully. Endorsed it “in their own way”? Maybe it’s just me, but actually, wait, no it’s not, because that’s 100% speculation, interpreting OP’s words such that they support your narrative.

It’s not Tate driving people away from you. It’s you yourself, queen. Treat men with a degree of compassion and understanding if you want men to feel you’re due compassion and understanding. It’s a very simple premise, and there’s no excuse not to accept that things should be fair on that fundamental fucking level like most of us have learned since Kindergarten.

This post doesn’t excuse men like Tate. It appeals to people like you to show some fucking compassion lest men keep being driven as far away from modern feminism and its snowballing toxicity as they can get. YOU missed the point of the post. Which was to not assume the worst of men. If you aren’t capable of that, you really shouldn’t comment.

Yeah. Men are prone to risk-taking more so than women. I wouldn’t dispute that. It just isn’t fair to rely on that fact alone (like this guy did) to inform your perspective. Saying men who die by s*icide are weak (which the guy above me did say; guessing he edited his comment when he got called out so much for it being a shit take) is a toxic and profoundly ill-constructed argument favoured by those who can’t be bothered to put more than a token effort into learning about the issue at hand.

Right. You’re citing personal experience. A singular narrative.

We’re not talking about stats for trauma centres. That’s… actually entirely apart from what we’re talking about.

This is an opinion. Not a fact. OP’s post is factually evident if you do reading on the subject. Your take is not. It makes sweeping generalisations of all men (textbook logical fallacy), blames them for their problems (shirking any acknowledgment or respect for your fellow human), and excuses misandry unquestioningly, without even a token attempt to understand that you do not understand.
