| 3 | Men's mental health suffering in the workplace, survey findsThe sample was 1,450 men with recruitment done using two strategies: The first strategy involved engaging the services of a market survey firm to recruit workers in BC. The second strategy involved recruiting workers across Canada via social media advertisements and the HeadsUpGuys website. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 24/11/22 08:00 PM |

| 16 | Men's mental health suffering in the workplace, survey findsA new survey from HeadsUpGuys on men's mental health in the workplace has found its way into the Canadian press. Some of the findings include: A survey by the website HeadsUpGuys found that nearly half of Canadian men score above the threshold for probable major depression. // The survey found one in three participants report thoughts of suicide or self-injury “at least a few times a week” and 55 per cent being lonely, which the report says is a risk factor for suicide. // With the survey focuse… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 23/11/22 10:48 PM |
| 1 | Male advocacy TwitterAgain, when you talk about people who are 'your own' or 'owe a debt to' it feels tribal, religious or even a bit mafia-like. You making and acting upon a value judgement of someone based on what you hoped they would be or do, rather than accepting them for who they are as similar yet different. This is an important distinction because the tribal game is one that identitarians play and win, and one that people who are leftwing and/or male advocates will likely lose for the foreseeable future.

| 1 | Male advocacy Twitterbut it is good practice to hold those nearer to you to higher standards than those who oppose you. Why? I see that kind of behaviour as more in line with the quasi-religious right than the left. It's also the type of judgemental attitude that reinforces gatekeeping and heirachies. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 22/11/22 10:46 PM |
| 1 | Male advocacy TwitterBlaming the right for the failure of the left is a very dangerous (and common) line of thinking. Agree. There's a broad coalition that supports humanistic principles and policies, which cuts across a reductive left-right tribal split. Hold those on your own tribe accountable when they disrespect men or invalidate their issues The idea of "tribes" and holding people "accountable" in general works against those who support men's issues and equality in general.

| 1 | 1 in 6 Hiring Managers Have Been Told to Stop Hiring White MenTrue. Earlier this year I did some work with a cybersecurity company. The market was - and remains - insane and they were desperate for anyone competent. Diversity was never mentioned. I realized that if you're in a role where age, gender, sexuality, or race will materially impact your employment, your contribution doesn't really matter and you're probably in a bullshit job. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 12/11/22 04:20 AM |

| 16 | Thoughts on Movember?It started in Australia, where there's been a lot more support for men's health, then spread to the UK, US, and Canada in the early 2010s. It's a great charity and I've collaborated with researchers who've received Movember grants. I don't know the full story, but I heard that support started to decline from around 2015. They've lost some major corporate backers and participation has dropped. All that to say, we'd all benefit from more people supporting and spreading the Movember message. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 11/11/22 08:07 PM |

The frustrating parts are that research published in 2022 is at the point where this is deemed a contribution: a key requirement for service provider organizations to work with Sheds was that they understood the ethos and Shed environment.

At the headline level, men who want someone empathetic choose a female therapist, while if they want someone relatable and accessible choose a male therapist.

| 1 | BTS is doing their military service. Good opportunity to highlight conscription to the world, and feminist inaction.I feel like there needs to be a distinction between the third and fourth wave feminists who value equality and are really humanists, and the kind of person who oppose things like conscription equality, efforts to support boys and men in schooling etc. Something like Marxist feminism vs liberal feminism. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 17/10/22 05:12 PM |

The argument is that it's necessary discrimination required to right past wrongs. I don't buy that, mostly because we know enough from science and history to understand that once a group of people have permission to discriminate over another group/s, they don't stop and equity is never achieved. If you wanted to pursue equity, I feel it needs to be based on wealth. I just can't find a humane reason for why,… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 17/10/22 02:25 AM |

From the report: A key underlying issue that has been raised both in this inquiry and also in the APPG’s previous two reports, is the pervasive male-victim blaming narrative. It is clear that the phrase 'toxic masculinity' is damaging and adds additional stigma and barriers to male help-seeking. This damaging narrative suggests that masculinity itself is at fault and that, if men would only talk more… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 15/10/22 07:32 PM |

The European Court of Human Rights found a Swiss man was discriminated against because he is male. Currently, women whose husbands die are paid a pension for the rest of their lives, while men only receive payments if they have children under 18. The "male breadwinner" concept is not enough to justify this, the ECHR found.

| 1 | Time For Left To ADMIT Boys, Men Are In CRISISHonestly, I don't see how you can say this is "refreshing" It's refreshing that solutions are offered. So often, including in this sub and indeed in your comment, there is 100% criticism or rejection and zero progress. I expect that from the right, but the left is about progress and that means offering up something that others can critique and build upon as a means of sustaining progress. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 11/10/22 03:41 PM |
| 1 | What's happening to boys in school?But what's the solution to all this. Part of it is more small-group learning.

The author offers a couple of hypotheses: Story 1: Men think “#MeToo means if I accidentally say the wrong thing, I’ll be cancelled/fired.
