2	Misandrist and feminist lore I've heard the toilet paper one too. Another one I heard a feminist friend say the other day is "Men are so brainwashed by misogynistic porn they'll try to do piss-play without asking for consent." Which is just so insane to think that there's an actual widespread problem of men who just start pissing out of nowhere during sex. It's just so obviously ridiculous because consent aside, who wants piss all over the bed? You do that kind of thing in the shower. A lot of this kind of rhetoric is also …	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	05/02/26 09:36 PM
2	RFK Jr. is Asking the Wrong Questions About Circumcision. Here are the Right Ones. So as someone who is presumably opposed to routine infant circumcision, What would a more effective means of getting this conversation to more people? I think your problem is the same as any niche activist group. The people who care enough about the issue to be involved in the movement are going to be more emotionally driven and care more about the issue than the people who casually agree with you. When I see an account entirely dedicated to any type of niche activism (LGBT activists, men's righ…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	17/10/25 06:16 PM
-1	RFK Jr. is Asking the Wrong Questions About Circumcision. Here are the Right Ones. They're more real than a poll posted on reddit. Not saying you can't critique real research, but if you're going to then you have to apply the same standards to research that affirms your worldview too.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	14/10/25 12:18 AM
-3	RFK Jr. is Asking the Wrong Questions About Circumcision. Here are the Right Ones. They arise, as one respondent put it, "after I educated myself about what circumcision does." That's the problem. You are spreading highly exaggerated and biased results which will result in an overreaction from people who buy into the information. See my response to the other commenter. I am sure there are some outliers like the example of the man who said orgasms feel like pissing, and I have full sympathy for them. But as an outsider to your movement it seems clear that many of you are gettin…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	10/10/25 04:40 PM
1	RFK Jr. is Asking the Wrong Questions About Circumcision. Here are the Right Ones. Ah, I did think you were OP. But yeah, fair enough to call out Morris, I don't think published research is above critique.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	10/10/25 12:44 AM
1	RFK Jr. is Asking the Wrong Questions About Circumcision. Here are the Right Ones. Okay, fair enough, but if we are going to hold peer reviewed research to that level of scrutiny I still can't believe any results from an informal survey of a biased sample. For comparison- if the same survey was conducted in a subreddit that believed circumcision improved sexual satisfaction, would you believe the results? From the Earp paper OP just cited: Apart from this issue, there is a deeper concern, which is that sexual experiences are subjective and complex: they cannot be reduced to a …	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	10/10/25 12:30 AM
-1	RFK Jr. is Asking the Wrong Questions About Circumcision. Here are the Right Ones. While I don't support circumcision, I have to point out that this survey is basically entirely useless because of heavy selection bias and the fact that very few if any participants have a frame of reference for whether their sexual function worsened after circumcision. There have been countless scientifically conducted studies on this, and according to this systemic review of dozens of studies, there was no high quality evidence that circumcision decreases sexual pleasure. From the review: Thes…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	09/10/25 11:26 PM
-6	Left-wing politician body-shaming short men Yes they do fit the definition, and I think the left needs to be less hyper-sensitive overall, I don't need them to also become hyper-sensitive about men. I'm not going to pretend this bothers me to make some point about leftist hypocrisy.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	07/10/25 05:31 PM
-17	Left-wing politician body-shaming short men Personally I don't care. It's probably a bad strategy but I think being over-sensitive about insults is an even worse strategy.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	07/10/25 04:45 PM
–	Cultural Analysis: Feminist Retellings Of Mythology Yeah I've been a bit disappointed by this sub since joining since a lot of it seems to wanting to just create identity politics for men. I find r/stupidpol to be better on this issue.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	03/10/25 04:28 PM
5	Cultural Analysis: Feminist Retellings Of Mythology Great analysis. I'm so tired of people projecting modern epistemology and ethics onto ancient texts (or even stuff from just a century ago). It's annoying when people on this subreddit will turn around and do the same annoying identitarian things they criticize feminists for.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	02/10/25 05:52 PM
2	hello everyone,i come from china I'd avoid MGTOW or anything that is actively rejecting women and relationships with them entirely. The MGTOW movement in the US is mostly bitter far-right guys and is not a good model to follow. I'd look at Korea and how the gendered divisions there have become really ugly. The 4B movement there is certainly part of the problem, but men reacting by doing the same thing has not helped. In my opinion the left wing or progressive movement should focus on material conditions and universalism. Femini…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	02/10/25 05:46 PM
3	Examples of Subtle, or Outright, Hostility Towards Men in Left Messaging If you are a man on the left you get called a "class reductionist" if you choose to focus on class issues (the issue that effects pretty much everyone) instead of self-flagellating about how you're part of the problem on issues of race/gender/sexuality. Ironically now you get called a "performative male" for doing that, but trying to be politically active and not trying to focus on universal problems rather than pandering is enough to get you ostracized from many organizations.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	22/09/25 04:53 PM
7	What are your thoughts on pornography and sex work? My problem with OF is that it is supposedly less exploitative, but effectively a majority of the women who join will never make any money and are basically just putting their nudes online for free. It's a get rich quick scheme with no guarantees, and if you do succeed you have to continually market yourself and interact with your followers to maintain income. Is that less exploitative than porn where they are at least guaranteed a paycheck for a scene? In the sense that you cut out much of the p…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	18/09/25 04:55 PM
6	As a feminist ... I don't disagree with anything said here, though I'm not really going to go around advocating for women to join the draft. That just means more people have to be in the draft and will be resentful for it, it doesn't really benefit men so it's not "male advocacy." There's lots of different opinions in this group though. Similarly though, I've heard many variations of feminist viewpoints, and while you might have a nuanced view of toxic/non-toxic masculinity, I've definitely encountered feminists …	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	16/09/25 04:36 PM
-1	"We hear, "women and children" all the time, but don't exclude the men also being harmed, their lives matter too. It's time to acknowledge: the people which Israel, with the aid and support of their allies are slaugtering, are noncombatant men, women, children, and babies." I think that's an oversimplification. The liberal establishment and older/Zionist progressives care a lot more about Ukraine. The reason Gaza has become such a major issue on the left is because it is genocide, not a war, and unlike Ukraine, the US is actively supporting the aggressors.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	12/09/25 04:56 PM
26	"We hear, "women and children" all the time, but don't exclude the men also being harmed, their lives matter too. It's time to acknowledge: the people which Israel, with the aid and support of their allies are slaugtering, are noncombatant men, women, children, and babies." The bar is set so low in this discourse it's tragic. Part of the reason people fall back on "women and children" is because Israel will claim any military age male is "Hamas," so any easy rebuttable is to point out how many people killed are women and children that no one can convincingly argue are soldiers based on a surface level understanding of Arab society.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	11/09/25 04:42 PM
5	has long since been time for america to revitalize and evolve the male gender identity. I'm one of the people who called BS and I can see where you are coming from here, and I agree I think OP means well. But what I am reacting to is not the idea that androgynous men should still be considered men. Partly because it progressive Western society, androgynous men are considered men. No one is saying Bowie or Elvis are women. So then it begs the question what OP is actually asking for, and the implication is that he is suggesting we should strive to be more androgynous in order to "rev…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	10/09/25 06:15 PM
1	has long since been time for america to revitalize and evolve the male gender identity. I don't think it's wrong for you to engage and share your opinion here, but I think people may be reacting to your use of the term "androgynous" because they have a different understanding of its meaning and want to be masculine, not androgynous. Androgenyous is defined as: "the quality or state of being neither specifically feminine or masculine : the combination of feminine and masculine characteristics." So definitionally you cannot be both solely masculine and also androgynous and people her…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	10/09/25 06:02 PM
13	has long since been time for america to revitalize and evolve the male gender identity. I like where you are going with this but you lost me at androgyny. Sorry, I don't want to be androgynous or perceived as androgynous. I do like fashion and performative dress, but not glam rock feminine coded dress, I want more ways to express masculinity through fashion without it being being perceived as androgynous. I want to be able to be expressive while still being perceived as masculine. As for music, I similarly agree there are fewer male pop stars, but I also don't like pop. What I real…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	09/09/25 07:01 PM
4	Is the "male loneliness epidemic" a narrative or not? Apparently there are articles that say that the "loneliness epidemic" affects both genders equally Honestly I wish it wasn't framed around gender at all, because it is true that loneliness among women is on the rise as well even if it's not as high of rates. And unfortunately framing this around being a problem experienced primarily by men has created a stupid backlash where men are either told it's a personal failing, or that male loneliness is turning them into a burden on women. It's too bad we can't have one issue that people acknowledge disproportionally impacts men, but maybe if it wasn…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	09/09/25 04:47 PM
