| 11 | Let's be clear about Jordan Peterson ...To the people who says he gave out good advice about cleaning your room...I'm sure your mum told you that too, it's up there with wipe your arse and wash your hands, it's hardly advice, it's setting quite a low bar. The guy promotes an extreme theistic weirdly judgemental view of the world, and he's clearly the darling of Google's YouTube algorithm. That he is considered an ally to any men is disappointing, even more so because he's a psychologist and should know better. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 06/04/25 11:20 AM |
| 13 | Labor And Men, Whats So Leftist About Mens Issues Anyways?It's nice to hear someone from the USA aggressively make the case for a stronger Labour movement. It would probably be a good idea to incorporate a plan on how you are going to stop the fascists too, as they're currently destabilising the world from your country. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 17/03/25 07:06 PM |
| 39 | "Left-wing"I can't speak for others specifically, but for me, and the things I write here, it's essentially about linking capitalist neoliberalism (often united with feminist ideology) and the broad trend of ignoring actual data and evidence to the poor treatment of men. It's a space where people don't instantly react to male problems by prescribing a bit more freedom/guns/capitalism/conservatism/Americanism in an effort to address things. For me I'm economically left wing, not only because I think it woul… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 02/03/25 08:50 AM |
| 33 | NPR Publishes Article about the Lifespan Gap on Facebook, Wall to Wall Misandry Ensues in Comments SectionDespite Facebook, like most US social media, being a sewer of rage bait I don't find these responses too surprising. Confronting people with information that directly conflicts with their beliefs, particularly when they consider those beliefs part of their identity, will often illicit an aggression response. Which of course increases engagement, and is precisely what Facebook wants. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 20/02/25 06:02 AM |
| -4 | Thoughts on this? I've seen many feminists use terms like class war and capitalism to avoid blame for men's issuesThey are, that's why they are different words mate. One is the person, the other is the ideology. You can be doing feminism without actually being a feminist, and you can be a feminist without doing feminism. I know nuanced thinking has been less popular since Trump took over the hamburger kingdom, but it's not exactly a challenging concept. For example you are arguing against working class solidarity, you are doing capitalism, without necessarily being a capitalist. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 16/02/25 06:52 AM |

| -13 | Thoughts on this? I've seen many feminists use terms like class war and capitalism to avoid blame for men's issuesFeminists don't cause men's issues, so they shouldn't take the blame. Their ideology does ignore them, misattribute them, or make them worse though. We definitely should concentrate on class solidarity and fighting capitalism, as they are actually things that could make life better, which makes it a bit rich for a feminist to request that, as their ideology prevents solidarity and blames patriarchy primarily. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 15/02/25 08:51 PM |
| 36 | I asked on r/AskSocialists why we don't vote out the rich. The answers were revealing.In the USA they had the choice between capitalist party A or capitalist party B, and they'll never have any other choice for as long as their empire persists. If they wanted an actual left wing alternative they would absolutely have to unite the working class, which would mean figuring out how to appeal to men again and dropping the habitual alienation, but honestly I think it's more likely that the USA would descend into a right wing capitalist Vs far right religious civil war than ever bother … | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 13/02/25 10:41 PM |
| 4 | Can we return the sub to leftist male advocacy?George is (AFAIK) English center left, which in USA terms is a communist. He (can correct me if I'm wrong) supports healthcare free at the point of use, free tertiary education, keeping the death penalty illegal, and treating everyone with rights, dignity and respect, which puts him economically much further left than the current UK Labour government (nominally a left wing organisation). | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 09/02/25 04:48 AM |
| 3 | Can we return the sub to leftist male advocacy?I'm genuinely curious as to where you're from,as in which culture or country? If you're a capitalist there are plenty of right wing spaces to discuss your ideology. I think that healthcare should be free at the point of use (socialism), like it is where I was born, but isn't now where I live. I believe education from preschool all the way to university should be free at the point of use (socialism), like it used to be in my country, but capitalists changed it to saddle is with debt.

| 22 | Can we return the sub to leftist male advocacy?We don't want anyone to stop speaking out, claiming and cementing human rights is essential. We just don't want to be blamed for them not having those rights in the first place. There is a difference between wanting, as an example, access to birth control, and wanting access to birth control and claiming that it doesn't exist because of a secret conspiracy of men prevent it. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 09/02/25 04:37 AM |
| 32 | Can we return the sub to leftist male advocacy?Feminist capitalism is the dominant paradigm in the west, it's not "barely organised", their way of framing things dominates the political and media landscape from Canberra to London. And the USA dragged us into invading Afghanistan because the Taliban asked for evidence Bin Laden masterminded the 9/11 highjackings from their country, and rather than provide it the USA occupied their country for 20 years and killed a shit load of people. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 09/02/25 04:29 AM |
| 4 | What are the essential basics someone new to male advocacy should know?If it was to someone genuinely new, I'd tell them to default to Hanlon's razor if they want constructive dialogue. (Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity). I'd just replace stupidity with ignorance, to be less offensive. Some feminists simply do not know about, and have never been exposed to the notion of men's problems. On a similar note I'd encourage them to look into the apex fallacy, which shapes the world views of many about men. There are other logical f… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 08/02/25 10:53 PM |

| 8 | Traditional masculinity shouldn’t be something men strive forBut weird to target a single small ethnic group from England. What do you know of the pre Christian peoples of my island?

| 6 | Strategic disinvestment from masculinity linked to poor psychosocial outcomesJessica Pfaffendorf and Terrence Hill, working collaboratively to publish in the Sex Roles journal. Its important when your views of what appropriate masculinity are have been shaped by a dominant feminist /capitalist narrative, to understand the actual impact of what happens to men under that paradigm. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 24/01/25 11:34 PM |

I'd suggest respectfully that you don't know very much about stoicism. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 24/01/25 11:25 PM |
| 3 | Strategic disinvestment from masculinity linked to poor psychosocial outcomesAsking for a specific philosophical approach to be cast out is incredibly authoritarian, and you are doing precisely what you claim to want the left to not do. I was quoting the reasoning as laid out in the article I posted. There are those of us on the left who find that stoicism and assertiveness work for us. For me. That's why I stated, at the very beginning, "at a very personal level". You should practice what you preach. You claim to want an improvement in men's mental health because they'r… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 24/01/25 11:23 PM |

| 4 | Strategic disinvestment from masculinity linked to poor psychosocial outcomes"You are not everyone", yes, that's what personal was referring to. And at no point did I claim that stoicism was historically dominant. Edit: I'd also like to stress that there seems to be a distinct difference between what certain people understand stoic to mean and the actual practice and understanding of stoicism. Writing love poetry and living your life according to stoic principles are in no way mutually exclusive. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 24/01/25 11:12 PM |
| -8 | Strategic disinvestment from masculinity linked to poor psychosocial outcomesOn a very personal level I'm not particularly surprised that people moving away from stoicism and assertiveness is bad for our health. Even if they're socially unpopular they've served me well. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 24/01/25 08:22 PM |

| 24 | Israel to release 50 Palestinian prisoners including 30 serving life sentences for each female soldier hostageThe "women and children" narrative has been incredibly strong during the attacks on and invasion of Gaza. It implies that all males are combatants, even aid workers, medics, journalists, etc end up being seen as somehow not as worthy as "innocents". It is good that Israel is giving up some of it's hostages too, although they do hold considerably more of them. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 16/01/25 07:18 PM |
| 12 | Noticed something strangeThe most wealthy country to have ever existed, with the largest military and economic empire ever created, the USA, is run on right wing principles and is massively wealthy in monetary and resource terms. Yet because of their ideology they refuse to house, clothe, feed, educate or provide medical care to their population. If you can't see the fundamental problem with rightism you might be in the wrong place mate. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 13/01/25 09:45 PM |
| 8 | Noticed something strangeThat may be true in your country. To me left wing simply means against capitalism and for people, in favour of healthcare and education free at the point of use, in favour of the right to housing and food, and support for equality before the law. I personally go much further in wanting essential infrastructure and companies to be publicly owned, and for foreign militaries (the USA) to leave our countries so we can actually make left wing changes without the threat of violence hanging over us.

Also their newly developed transphobia has firm links to Feminism, and isn't"just" about not wanting penises in women's bathrooms, it's about scapegoating yet another minority. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 13/01/25 09:30 PM |

If you genuinely want to be less lonely, or have men be less lonely in general trying and being proactive, create a club or society or group. From martial arts, to D&D, singing, retro video games, drinking tea, it's not impossible to find a hobby and others who share that interest, and honestly men tend towards being more comfortable in a shoulder to shoulder settings, engaging in some form of joint activity.

| 44 | Genuinely curious about itI'm an atheist, I don't believe in anything that doesn't have evidence to back it up. The patriarchy is a conspiracy theory based on the apex fallacy, and inspired by ideas such as anti Semitic conspiracy theories, and religious notions of original sin. I can even give you something simple to observe to make you question whether you think the patriarchy is real yourself. Find a local WW1 or WW2 memorial and read the names, they'll all have something in common. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 25/12/24 06:00 PM |

They'll pay lip service to men's problems if it lines their pockets. The left seeks to liberate the working man from this servitude to the wealthy rightists. The trouble is the American "left", which sets the narrative for the American empire (the West) more broadly has also been taken over by rightists capitalist ideology, and now pretends to concentrate on identity politics rather than … | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 15/12/24 07:33 PM |
| 64 | Feminine advantage in harm perception obscures male victimisation."Cultural shifts, including feminist movements and the push for gender equality, have heightened societal sensitivity to harm against women. While addressing critical issues like workplace harassment, these changes have also perpetuated an imbalance in harm perception." Which is in itself a further shift away from gender equality. It's a difficult question, how do we convince people that male suffering is equally as bad as that of women? | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 13/12/24 09:43 PM |

If men genuinely held power there would be a system in place, that broadly benefitted us, but by almost all significant metrics men come in second. We work longer hours, we live shorter lives (naturally there are 105 males born for every 100 females, but we only make up 49% of the population), we make up 95% of the prison population, we make up 80% of the victims of stranger violence, male ge… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 12/12/24 09:04 AM |

I'm married to a feminist, and we are able to find common ground politically, but I find quite fundamental parts of the ideology, even it's name to be deeply problematic.

There's also the issue that all identity politics based beliefs (which have largely emerged through the dominance of the USA particularly in the Anglosphere) are in direct conflict with working class solidarity, and I no longer think that's entirely an accident.

Baby boys can get infections or other complications from the procedure, resulting in full or partial loss of the penis, and sometimes death.

Trying to get the word out!Just for clarity I'm not American, but they (the USA) does essentially dictate the political landscape for the rest of their empire, so I'm invested in their political outcomes. It strikes me as utterly bizarre that's it's taken this long for "left wing" politicians in the USA to realise that they're leaving men behind, and that might not be a good idea. It's why I hate identity politics, like feminism, because it effectively undermines any chance of working class solidarity. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 31/10/24 11:31 AM |

If you had stayed part of Britain then not only would homosexually not be illegal, but gay marriage would also have been made legal. The current state of affairs of independent countries is their own choice, and can't be blamed on an empire long dead. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 16/10/24 11:07 PM |

The fact that it still exists is a product of a more general sense, pushed by both capitalists and feminists, of male disposability.

| 6 | I think it's high time we teach men to be independent and support each other.I say are you living in the 1950s? I'm 40, and was taught by both school and family to look after myself and my home, and equality was fundamental to our culture, so of course we are allies of queer folk. I also think it should be up to the individual if they are happier in a relationship or not. Sure encourage independence and resilience, but we have evolved to prefer bonded pairing, to develop close family units, and denying that may well be as harmful as being overly reliant on it. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 27/06/24 10:08 PM |

However people in general, not just feminists, seem reluctant to let men experience our full range of emotion, going so far as to criminalise those who lose the energy required for the emotional labour of self suppression. Hostility to a hostile environment is a valid reaction, rage, fury, anger, resentment, wrath, lust, hate, envy, these are all valid parts of the humen experience.

I'm far left, I believe that healthcare, education, police and military should be publicly funded and free at the point of use, and I think that essential infrastructure and industry should be owned collectively by everyone, not by private individuals, parti… | /r/MensRights | 01/06/22 11:09 AM |
| 4 | "It's very bad time to be a man - there is hostility everywhere"Mass shootings in the developed world are incredibly rare. They're a problem in the USA because no-one thought to amend the constitution to include the right to healthcare, but some nugget thought that everyone carrying weapons was a sound plan. | /r/MensRights | 28/05/22 08:23 PM |
| 6 | "If men don't have as many rights as women, then why don't they fight for them" <-- A question asked to me. Below is my response.In my country men literally fought a civil war to get democracy. Then fought the first world war to get enough leverage for universal suffrage. While women patted themselves on the back for how successful they were because they protested a bit and got given the same rights. | /r/MensRights | 21/05/22 10:01 PM |
| 1 | Women Uber Drivers can now deny male passengers in AustraliaI recently moved here, after a discussion my partner and I won't be using Uber ever again. Discrimination isn't ok. | /r/MensRights | 21/05/22 01:36 AM |
| 12 | Why don't baby boys have "my foreskin, my choice"?You'll find Americans, Jews and Muslims continue to mutilate little boys even in countries with free healthcare. It's not specifically money related. | /r/MensRights | 04/05/22 06:37 AM |
| 3 | Just found out men get 63% higher prison sentences 😦We make up, at least in the UK, Australia, and the USA approximately 95% of the prison population, but only 49% of the actual population. The imbalance isn't just in sentencing, it's also in the types of crimes that can carry custodial sentences combined with the pressure put on men to be the "breadwinner". | /r/MensRights | 03/05/22 12:48 AM |
| 2 | 'Gender corrective mechanism' had the reverse effect.This is a stupid system, but Malta isn't considered progressive or liberal by European standards, they're heavily religious, corrupt, and currently have a huge amount of support for Russia politically. | /r/MensRights | 02/05/22 09:41 PM |
| -3 | Financial abortion, a men's rightThe far right will never want to be seen as against "traditional family values", it would be political suicide for them to enable men to step away from children financially, so sadly not going to happen in much of the Anglosphere. | /r/MensRights | 28/04/22 08:54 PM |
| 9 | Financial abortion, a men's rightI'm left wing and I support this idea. Considering the far right have controlled both countries I've lived in for a long time, they seem to support a spurious narrative of "traditional family values" which involves forcing men to pay for things they don't want in order to capture them as wage slaves for longer. | /r/MensRights | 28/04/22 08:48 PM |
| 8 | Why is nobody outraged that the CDC literally has a propaganda page promoting circumcision?It's no surprise, it's been the USA along with some backwards religions pushing the mass male genital mutilation on the west for some time now. | /r/MensRights | 24/04/22 10:29 AM |
| 1 | Hypocrites, how do they expect to be taken seriously?Jordan Peterson being one of the few mainstream voices that oppose feminism is deeply depressing. He's pro Christian, pro capitalism, both ideologies that have been used to curb stomp men's rights for centuries, but because he takes a stand against the woke feminist nonsense he's celebrated as a fucking hero. | /r/MensRights | 13/04/22 09:23 PM |
| 3 | Why is this subreddit under so much hate?You guys have left leaning media? In the countries I've lived in almost all of the media is owned by far right corporations, pushing for men to be locked up/used as wage slaves. | /r/MensRights | 13/04/22 11:28 AM |
| 2 | Why is this subreddit under so much hate?I'm far left (publicly funded healthcare, education, military and police are a good thing), and I'm a men's rights advocate. I know the yanks can't understand it, but in the UK and Australia it's the far right that have been pushing the feminists agenda for the past decade. | /r/MensRights | 13/04/22 11:25 AM |
| 5 | Why is this subreddit under so much hate?AFAIK it's not a "leftist" thing. In the UK and Australia we've had right wing governments for a really long time (12 years and 9 years respectively) and they've been consistently pushing the "all women are oppressed victims, men should be locked up/impoverished/ignored" bit the entire time. The far right have been consistently shitting on men's rights while falling over themselves to accommodate women at every turn. | /r/MensRights | 13/04/22 11:21 AM |
| 3 | A new report has exposed the negative effects of coercive control on men. These include anxiety, depression, post-traumatic distress and suicidal ideation. Currently, “men’s voices are systemically minimised or ignored and men are not recognised as a valid victim group.”Excellent study, exposing issues that men have to deal with that Western society tries to sweep under the rug. Hopefully this is the first of many. Sadly I doubt the government in the UK will listen to the recommendations, the right wing love ignoring men's issues. | /r/MensRights | 12/04/22 08:26 PM |
| 4 | Thoughts on circumsisionIt sounds like you're having a problem that maybe a doctor or a sex therapist could help with. Genital mutilation isn't a solution. | /r/MensRights | 09/04/22 08:09 PM |
| 1 | Staring is now a crime In London. Keep your eyes down lads.Over a decade of the far right ruling the UK, passing laws criminalising things like whistling and looking at people. | /r/MensRights | 07/04/22 12:03 AM |
| 5 | Staring is now a crime In London. Keep your eyes down lads.You understand that the legislation behind this was created by the Tory party, not Labour right? | /r/MensRights | 07/04/22 12:01 AM |
| 2 | Staring is now a crime In London. Keep your eyes down lads.Just a quick FYI for Johnny foreigner. Criminal law isn't London specific, if staring is a crime in London, then it's a crime in the entirety of England and Wales. Also, despite the author's attempt to implicate Sadiq Khan for passing this law, he didn't, and can't. Mayor's don't pass criminal legislation, that is the job of parliament, controlled by the right wing Tory party, for over a decade. | /r/MensRights | 07/04/22 12:00 AM |
| -2 | My company created resource groups for all sorts…except white menIt's corporate America that's pushing this agenda on the rest of the world, literally the home of the right wing. The further right your employees are the more hours you will work, the less they will pay you. The international worker movement has had to fight tooth and nail for basic men's rights, while the right have just used us as disposable sources of profit | /r/MensRights | 04/04/22 08:29 PM |
| 8 | My company created resource groups for all sorts…except white menIt's not a democrat/ republican thing. The USA has been pushing this nonsense on the rest of us regardless of who was in charge. It's a corporate capitalist "embrace gender studies and critical race theory" because it's profitable mindset. | /r/MensRights | 04/04/22 08:24 PM |
| 10 | Found this crossposted to Imgur - thoughts? (A post from a trans person on now being male)Glad that the scales have fallen from their eyes, but then they blame it all on "white imperialism", they're still living in cloud cuckoo land. Smh. | /r/MensRights | 02/04/22 09:25 AM |
| 5 | Asking as a feminist: What is the ideal societal outcome with r/MensRights?Equality. Equal life expectancy, equal working hours, equal likelihood of going to prison, equal treatment in war, equality in genital mutilation, equality in child custody, equality in access to services and education, equality in public safety etc etc. | /r/MensRights | 01/04/22 11:00 PM |
| 2 | I feel like my school might be discriminating against boysI'm also in Australia, and although this country is prima fascie quite sexist, there are some institutions you can use to apply pressure regardless of the person or persons being discriminated against. The Australian human rights commission link would be a good option, particularly if your school doesn't respond to your concerns, and you have evidence (I'd suggest recruiting some friends and witnesses). | /r/MensRights | 25/03/22 08:18 PM |
| 7 | Why are the mods on the man-hating subs just extremely hypocritical?You can say cunt on the internet. Being able to speak freely is an integral part of male liberation. They control your thought by first trying to control your speech. | /r/MensRights | 24/03/22 08:28 PM |
| 280 | Dear Society, you made it clear you don't care about men. So I'm going to stop caring about you.Also don't work unpaid overtime, or work too hard at your job. We don't live as long, and work more hours, so kick back and relax a little. | /r/MensRights | 24/03/22 08:23 PM |
