| 1 | Reddit is a hate site. Let's report it as such.Yes, Reddit is a hate site. Which is why I and many with me left. Why are you still here? | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 06/06/26 01:29 AM |

| 2 | Are “incels” bad?China where MOST men are permanently single This is simply not true. Yes, there are many single men, but it's far from a majority of men. I've been living in China since 2010, and I've seen how it's difficult for many young men to date, but most eventually do. Here are some links that a quick search brought up: https://www.bbc.com/worklife/article/20170213-why-millions-of-chinese-men-are-staying-single https://www.newsweek.com/china-has-nearly-35-million-more-single-men-women-1592486 https://www… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 09/09/23 09:06 AM |
| 2 | I'd like to talk about the state and future of this subNo. We moved to https://kbin.social/m/men. It's just that some community members are hesitant to jump ship and don't understand (or simply don't care) how destructive and unethical spez (the CEO) has behaved in the last few months and what that is going to mean for Reddit communities down the road. A long-time inactive mod decided to reboot this sub, and here you are. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 10/08/23 04:42 AM |
| 5 | Mid-week check-inJust a rare check-in. I am no longer active on Reddit. Come on over to https://kbin.social/m/men if you want to discuss male issues with me or other Rexxiters. | /r/MenSupportMen | 13/07/23 12:44 AM |
| 18 | So long!Thanks for all you've done! It was a pleasure working with you. I do hope you'll become active at kbin, maybe after a well-deserved break. The community would benefit from your equanimity and well-chosen words. Whatever you end up doing, I wish you all the best. So long and take care! | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 01/07/23 07:43 AM |
| 5 | So long!No, it's not. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 01/07/23 07:37 AM |
| 8 | So long!How do you figure it will get you banned? Who do you know that got banned for the kind of views we've been expressing here on LWMA? Be civil and make good arguments. That should count for something. Ernest, the kbin.social lead admin, does not seem interested in making a political stance, just in running a general purpose server. So, I'm not expecting any problems in this regard. And if they do pop up, we can move to another instance, or spin up our own. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 01/07/23 07:36 AM |
| 26 | “I’m not like the other feminists.” - men - kbin.socialExcellent article on the double-faced nature of feminism, which presents itself as egalitarian, but in practice is more often than not just straight-up misandrist. It references Karen Straughan's famous rant 'You're the true feminist. Some random person on the internet.' to counter oft-repeated motte-and-bailey defenses of feminism. I agree with the author that: When it comes to equality, feminists’ actions speak louder than their words. If you still think the term “feminism” is worth reclaiming… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 25/06/23 12:40 PM |
| 0 | Goodbye Reddit. Come on over to kbin.social/m/men.The suggestion to do so was 95% upvoted... Clearly it was the will of the community. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 24/06/23 08:45 AM |
| 1 | Goodbye Reddit. Come on over to kbin.social/m/men.Oops. I just saw I already replied to you. Oh well, I'll leave this comment up as further clarification. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 24/06/23 03:16 AM |
| 0 | Goodbye Reddit. Come on over to kbin.social/m/men.The level of conversation there is nothing compared to this sub Because few people have made the move yet. It continues to grow tho, and we'll get a boost in a week when suddenly the majority of mobile apps stop working. You can be an early adopter and help establish our presence there. Yes, claiming the men namespace is a bold move, but I think it's going to work in our favor and help us to promote our views. Being a safe space was never our goal even here, except being a safe space for civil d… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 24/06/23 03:12 AM |
| 0 | Goodbye Reddit. Come on over to kbin.social/m/men.And OP's response of basically "that's what we want!" That's misinformation. We do want to allow civilised debate (e.g. about the existence of patriarchy, or the nature of feminism), but not bigotry. Nobody's rights or existence are up for debate. We are explicitly egalitarian and will enforce that, just like we have done here. I vote for this sub going private or NSFW. The majority voted for keeping the sub open. NSFW was never an option, as it doesn't apply to the content of this sub. And admi… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 24/06/23 02:37 AM |

Come on over to kbin.social/m/men./r/blind is specifically moving to their own Lemmy instance because of accessibility concerns: https://np.reddit.com/r/Blind/comments/14eaf68/open_alpha_rblind_a_community_on_lemmy_brought_to/ See also https://np.reddit.com/r/Blind/comments/14h3w8z/moving_to_rblindcom_and_links_to_beginners_guides/ It might be worth making an account on rblind.com and subscribing to kbin.social/m/men from there. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 24/06/23 02:02 AM |

| 1 | Goodbye Reddit. Come on over to kbin.social/m/men.If you are on kbin.social, you should be able to find it easily. If you are on another instance, you may need to explicitly search for kbin.social/m/men and subscribe. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 24/06/23 01:36 AM |
| 2 | Goodbye Reddit. Come on over to kbin.social/m/men.Will this sub and what’s on it still be up and available to view? That's how I left it. For how long it's going to stay that way is anyone's guess. Archived? https://theredarchive.com/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates I wish you the best either way. Thanks! You too! | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 24/06/23 01:34 AM |

| 11 | Goodbye Reddit. Come on over to kbin.social/m/men.Hand moderation over to someone if need be I have. /u/2717192619192 said he wants to keep this sub up, and there are a few others on the mod list. Nobody else applied. but don't expect us to follow into a space that isn't well designed, and where opposing the feminist orthodoxy is likely to get us banned. You're more likely to get banned on Reddit. And with the Fediverse we can always set up on another instance. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 22/06/23 10:06 AM |

| -15 | Goodbye Reddit. Come on over to kbin.social/m/men.I feel like the community name is way too broad and attracts ALL men including feminists and conservatives. So we are having a broader reach. I think that's a good thing. We're still explicitly an egalitarian community, and can moderate accordingly. But if activity increases and the need for a more protected community arises, we can always establish offshoots, or moderate more strictly. The level of conversation there is nothing compared to this sub It's early days. More and more people are comi… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 22/06/23 03:39 AM |

| 4 | I’m second-highest on this sub’s moderator list, and I volunteer to take over as head moderator and assemble a new moderation team if the others resign.That never stopped us here. It's just that the feminist community there predates ours. We just need to get in there and make our arguments, just like we've been doing here. And we have way more exposure there, because we make it to the frontpage and to the "related threads" sidebar of other magazines. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 18/06/23 11:16 PM |

| 2 | The future of LWMA (with poll)Heartfelt thanks for your work here. I wish you good luck in your future endeavors! Thanks! It's appreciated. Reddit was unique. I disagree with you there. Digg used to be pretty similar, and they made a similar mistake as Reddit is making now, putting money over community. And now people no longer know what Digg is (or was). hosting on a smaller, privacy-oriented social platform will cut down active readership 10x or more As the poll shows, we have less than 500 active members as is. We can reb… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 18/06/23 02:56 AM |
| – | The future of LWMA (with poll)So, the community has spoken. The majority of voters want to keep the sub open (for now), tho there is a sizeable minority for rejoining the blackout, which I must say pleases me. But a blackout is rapidly becoming a non-option, with Reddit admins strong-arming mods to reopen or be demoted [1] [2] [3] [4]. This is very scummy behavior, but by now totally expected. It only strengthens my resolve to try to move our community elsewhere. So, we are staying open for now, and are reconsidering our opt… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 18/06/23 02:27 AM |

| 1 | Why I think Kbin and Mastodon are the futureBecause its devs are tankies and are known to remove content critical of China and North-Korea and to ban authors of such criticism on the instances they administer. See https://lemmy.pineapplemachine.com/post/5781 and https://mstdn.social/@feditips/106835057054633379 As a human rights advocate I do not feel at home there. And Kbin usability is improving day by day. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 17/06/23 06:43 AM |

| 1 | The future of LWMA (with poll)You have at least two weeks. And we do intend to leave the sub with read-only access. But Reddit might arbitrarily decide to ban the sub or appoint different mods who could remove content. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 17/06/23 02:38 AM |
| 1 | The future of LWMA (with poll)We're moving activity off Reddit, yes, but intend to keep the sub read-only to keep access to existing content. We're discussing details and alternative options such as only allowing links from kbin.social. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 17/06/23 02:33 AM |
| 2 | [update] Subreddit blackout June 12-14 and moving off-platformNeither. As spez has shown, communities here belong to Reddit Inc. And that's exactly the problem. I'm just trying to move the community to a platform that isn't greedy or arbitrary, and that offers a better outlook for the future. I also notice that the people who are most critical of my decision are ones that have very little prior activity in this community... | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 17/06/23 02:22 AM |

I have chat disabled, because I hate it, but not DMs. Anyway, the right way to go about this is to send the sub a modmail. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 16/06/23 12:50 PM |

Not an official one. But community members, including /u/TheTinMenBlog, have started Discord servers. Do a search. The community here was/is great.

So, I stand by my decision to leave this platform on July 1, and move male advocacy activities to Kbin and Mastodon. I invite all community members to do the same. But if there are mods currently on the list or community members who wish to take on active moderation of this subreddit, our modmail is open, as I have repeatedly said. I will not stand in their way. Bu… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 15/06/23 10:40 PM |
| 1 | Instead of closing the sub...It's an interesting idea. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 15/06/23 01:54 PM |
| 3 | Instead of closing the sub...Exactly. It's unpaid labour for a company who is just seeking to fill its pockets, and taking away our community-built tools for curating this space. Fuck that. And since I have no patience for trolls, I banned that dude who thought we've been doing this volunteer work for our own ego. Fuck that too. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 15/06/23 09:17 AM |
| -1 | The future of LWMA (with poll)See, you and I just make different choices. This incident is the last straw for me. I'm done with Reddit. The only other active mod here has indicated that moderation will be impossible without the third-party app he's using. None of the other mods still on the list have spoken up about taking on moderation duties to keep this place going. No one new has applied to do so either. Without moderators, this sub will be inundated with trolls and spammers, and end up getting banned for being unmoderat… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 15/06/23 09:04 AM |
| 2 | The future of LWMA (with poll)I have never heard of kbin before this post. It's a relatively new kid on the block in the fediverse. But you may have heard of Mastodon or Lemmy before. No other sub I participate in is transferring there. Maybe not now, but come July more will. I went there, and it neither looks nice nor does it have any content. Looks are subjective, but I think it looks good enough. Functionality is more important. And content, that's a matter of community members willing to participate. Rexxit is only barel… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 15/06/23 08:48 AM |

| 3 | Why I think Kbin and Mastodon are the futurethe general public doesn't care about reddit beyond funny videos&memes But they will care that quality goes down and spam goes up, as moderators and power users who supply the bulk of the content leave the platform. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 15/06/23 06:09 AM |
| 4 | Why I think Kbin and Mastodon are the futureYouTube is quite different, because serving video is much more costly. A text-based forum is way easier and cheaper to run. Why Mastodon over Twitter? Because there is not one person or company having a stranglehold over it. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 15/06/23 06:08 AM |

| -1 | [update] Subreddit blackout June 12-14 and moving off-platformJfc way to destroy the only decent male community here. You can blame spez for that. Just give mod to someone who wants to do the work or something, No one has applied. And I wouldn't recommend it, because the company is making it harder. no one cares about this dumb bickering between mods and Reddit A lot of users are also affected. And when mods leave, it will have repercussions on the quality of discussions. The only dumb thing is not to take this "bickering" seriously. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 15/06/23 01:15 AM |

| -7 | The future of LWMA (with poll)Did anyone seriously think it would be limited to a two-day blackout? Of course further action is being planned, now that Reddit once more has given its users and mods the middle finger. Lots of mods and power users will be leaving the platform on July 1st if Reddit doesn't reverse course. And there have been successful protests in Reddit's history. We got rid of Ellen Pao. We got rid of Aimee Knight. Now it's time to get rid of Steve Huffman, or we will leave the platform. Reddit is nothing wit… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 14/06/23 10:47 PM |
| -1 | The future of LWMA (with poll)We're not removing this space. It will be set to read-only, so people can see we moved to kbin.social. So we will continue, but just in a different place. I really don't want to have to create yet another goddamn login just to continue these discussions. Just do it. It takes like two minutes. Certainly that's worth it? | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 14/06/23 10:30 PM |
| 4 | The future of LWMA (with poll)Read up on the decentralized nature of the Fediverse. It's easy to spin up your own instance if you want, and still be part of it. Most instances are owned by individuals who are open source enthusiasts. It may not be perfect, but it's surely better than current alternatives. There is no corporation behind Kbin, but if it grows to hundreds of thousands or millions of users, then an organizational structure for server admin and the involved finances will somehow need to be set up. Hopefully a not… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 14/06/23 10:24 PM |

| 17 | The future of LWMA (with poll)I am sick and tired of how Reddit is treating us. It feels like an abusive relationship. There is this constant background fear that an admin will look at us wrong and shut us down, just like they did with /r/misandry and with /r/menkampf (tho later they unexpectedly unbanned it again). No valid reasons given, no appeals answered. Secondly, I've been asking for help with moderation over the past year.

| 2 | An original view on the ‘male gaze’ and what it really means.That's a bit of a "No True Scotsman" argument. Not really. Because I'm talking about liberal values, which are all about freedom and letting people live their own authentic lives. Just because nowadays there are plenty of people who call themselves liberals who betray those values, doesn't mean that liberal values changed. It's just that people have moved away from it. We should convince people to return to true liberal values. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 09/06/23 12:43 PM |

If we accept, as we should, that homelessness is a gendered issue, since something like 70-80% (depending on country and study) of homeless people are men, we have to accept that sexual assault is also a gendered issue. No, we do not accept RAINN's manipulated statistics. A closer look reveals that sexual assault is NOT a gendered issue. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 24/05/23 10:01 PM |

That is a pity, says Gjalt Jellesma, chairman of the Association of Parents in Childcare. "Because more men on the work floor, that is an enrichment." Staff shortages in the sector have been causing problems for years.

However, it’s also hard to find men’s advocacy spaces that aren’t overrun with violent misogyny, and yet they exist and are worth finding. False equivalency.

But my impression is that there are very few who are willing to put their money where their mouth is. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 22/02/23 10:59 AM |
| 57 | Highlighting the hypocrisy of feminists with respect to the JK Rowling drama and Mens RightsThe two sides on that just slightly disagree about who to exclude. They are both radical bigots. Erin Pizzey already found this out in the 1970s. Edit: Oh, look at that! We triggered a feminist, who reported this comment and the post as "promoting hate". I'm sorry, but being a feminist is not an immutable characteristic, but a choice, and thus not a protected identity. And in fact, it is the feminists who are promoting hate (towards men and trans women). So, stop wasting time. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 22/02/23 09:44 AM |

| 10 | I think that positive masculinity is just traditional masculinity without of the negatives of traditional masculinity, how it really isn't realistic for most men, and how some on the left use this to push bootstraps narrative for menOne way to look at it is seeing them as energies that everyone has a mix of, but men on average having more masculinity and women on average having more femininity. This is the approach used by for example David Deida, in his book The Way of the Superior Man. Another approach is to look at what traits men show more of and are more central to what it means to be a man, without seeing those as exclusive to men. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 01/02/23 03:25 AM |

The problem is that society has changed rapidly since the 1950s, and while a lot has been achieved to liberate women, we have fallen far behind in liberating men and redefining masculinity for the 21st century. It's a confusing time to be a man. This is exacerbated by the fact that generally it's not looked upon favorably when we men do something for ourselves.

It's the hatred of women that makes an incel not the inability to form relationships. Except that that's wrong. Incel means involuntary celibate.

| 1 | Should men and women get the same amount of retirement? Or should they start retirement at the same age?You haven't addressed my wage gap argument yet.

| 1 | Should men and women get the same amount of retirement? Or should they start retirement at the same age?I don't think we can compare these issues. People want to marry the person they love, and gay people couldn't, for legacy religious reasons. In the case of retirement, people want to stop working as they get older.

I don't see how you can argue that. I'm arguing for the most straightforward equality under the law: everyone gets to retire at the same age. You're just trying to make it more complicated and introduce a huge overhead.

Or should they start retirement at the same age?It kinda sounds like victim blaming when you call the life expectancy gap a lifestyle choice. Of course I'm not victim blaming. But just as we say that the wage gap is due to personal choices, I don't see a convincing argument for why it's different for the life expectancy gap.

There are a lot of choices that led up to that situation. There is the added care, attention, and social connections given to women that men don't just choose to not have. Agreed.

| 1 | Personal Feminism vs Institutional Feminism - the source of the problem?Some of us are both, but I don't know how many. I would guess the majority, by far.

I mean, I could identify as equity feminist. I just don't think it's useful. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 26/01/23 01:22 AM |
| 27 | Should men and women get the same amount of retirement? Or should they start retirement at the same age?Some research suggests there is no or little biological basis for the life expectancy gap, which would mean it's mostly down to different life style choices.

This also keeps things simple from a legal perspective. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 26/01/23 01:10 AM |

Yes, evolution may have given females the drive to look for providers, but it's not like we humans are slaves to such drives and can't rise above that. It's a similar monolithic view of gender that feminism has. We need to consider the individual. And then we see that there most certainly are women who are motivated by love, or altruism. They aren't all robotically looking to reproduce with a male with good genes. Humans are more complex than that. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 18/01/23 10:13 PM |

| 1 | Men receive contradicting messages about dating from societyIt's mostly coming from specific women (who have had bad experiences) and incomplete advice.
