1	This community needs to open up to the idea feminism to at least some degree. Of course they could. I am not denying this at all nor defending them. I'm just saying there was a rational, self-interest reason for this: doing this, they secured a system that worked mostly in the interest and benefit of female victims. And they were able to get away with that because society already had this sort of prejudices against men.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	17/03/25 06:26 PM
0	This community needs to open up to the idea feminism to at least some degree. Yes, and I wouldn't say they exploit workers out of malice, but out of self-interest. This is an important distinction if we want to go beyond mere moral arguments in our analysis of politics. The key difference is that I would say that the contradiction between capital and labor is necessary to the capitalist system. The interests of men and women are not necessary contradictory. Otherwise, it's a good comparison, and it shows why we cannot reduce this to "feminists being malicious," but rather…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	17/03/25 05:38 PM
-1	This community needs to open up to the idea feminism to at least some degree. What is the definition of "doing something out of malice"? To me, this implies the will to cause harm.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	17/03/25 05:08 PM
-4	This community needs to open up to the idea feminism to at least some degree. I agree with you in a way. Anti-feminism is the opium of MRAs. Antagonizing feminism is, most of the time, a waste of energy and resources that could be better spend in things that actually matter. In my opinion, opposition to feminism should be issue based. Ultimately, most of the gender problems of men are not cause by feminism, they are not the core of the problem, although they very much can be part of it when they promote sexist policies that disadvantage men. I think it's more sensible to …	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	17/03/25 03:06 PM
1	Gender Specific Laws in Spain Backfire For the difference of legal rights for victims of sexual violence, you can check the law itself. Men are excluded from all the rights in Article 33. There it says: Artículo 33. El derecho a la asistencia integral especializada y accesible. 1. Todas las personas comprendidas en el apartado 2 del artículo 3 de esta ley orgánica tienen derecho a la asistencia integral especializada y accesible que les ayude a superar las consecuencias físicas, psicológicas, sociales o de otra índole, derivadas de l…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	25/08/24 01:40 PM
2	Gender Specific Laws in Spain Backfire I can give you sources for any of these claims in Spanish. But unfortunately, I am not aware of any in English.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	24/08/24 01:58 PM
-1	Gender Specific Laws in Spain Backfire I don't want to be pedantic here, but no. The conviction rate is the probability of being convicted. What you say would affect the volume of reports (which this law has undeniably increased), and thus, the total number of convictions, but not the probability of being convicted given a report/trial.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	24/08/24 12:50 PM
0	Gender Specific Laws in Spain Backfire Because conviction regards the offender, and thus, it's not normally affected by measures regarding the victim.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	24/08/24 12:40 PM
8	Gender Specific Laws in Spain Backfire With such approach they are bound to get way more convictions of men and then pretend the system is working. The law does not affect criminal procedure, so it does not affect the probability of convicting men. ANY difference based solely on your sex if completely unacceptable! I completely agree! In my opinion, the Spanish model is perverse. But people, even in Spain itself, often make wild claims against it that are not really true. For example that it takes away men's presumption of innocence,…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	24/08/24 12:20 PM
55	Gender Specific Laws in Spain Backfire This is a common misconception. You cannot change your gender to get a more lenient sentence. People are sentenced according to the gender they had when they commited the crime. To explain things to non-spanish speakers. In Spain there are to different laws for partner violence. One is called "violencia de género," which exclusively protects women from male partners, and the other is "violencia doméstica," that covers other forms of partner violence (straight men, gay and lesbians), as well othe…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	24/08/24 01:48 AM
5	The absolute state that is r/menslibb In any social or political movement, there are a variety of competing perspectives. If the movement is big enough, for any given perspective, it is always possible to find some dissenting voice. Is it ever possible to claim that "the political movement X espouses Y" or "political movement X did or achieved Z"? What would be a valid criterion to make this kind of statement? In my opinion, these statements are not so much about what "the people in movement X individually think", but rather about "…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	26/04/24 02:21 PM
-6	Looking for honest discussion to understand this sub Many people seem to be angry with feminism on this thread, but very few seem to have a clear idea as to what they're intending to achieve by antagonizing it. I mean, feminists do have some regressive positions on some issues, but how much would the situation of men really change if feminism were to disappear tomorrow? Not much. That's why I think that antifeminism is the opiate of "male advocacy". A sterile waste of time and energy. Personally, I think that feminism is a movement for women's rig…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	13/03/22 07:54 PM
2	Looking for honest discussion to understand this sub In my life, and online, I saw more Feminists than non-Feminists demand various forms of "neo-chivalry" from men. In my opinion, it's about equal. Conservatives and feminists tend to ally themselves on those issues. No, them lobbying for anti-male laws etc and and trying to benefit the female sex at all costs is what makes them the enemy. That, and the frankly-speaking often disgusting premises of their ideology. Not much good for men and egalitarians can come from that stuff. It's okay to critic…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	13/03/22 06:58 PM
7	Looking for honest discussion to understand this sub Well, I think that it's okay, and sometimes necessary, to be critical of feminism. Feminism is focused on women, not men, so not all their takes on masculinity are useful to understand men's gender issues. More often than not, their views and analysis of masculinity tend to be superficial (toxic masculinity is one of those shallow concepts in my opinion), and there is a preference to see male problems as self-inflicted or a by-product of their own agency rather than as structural forms of discri…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	13/03/22 05:53 PM
