For all the talk I've heard about "men's patriarchal entitlement to women's bodies", I've only ever seen or experienced the opposite (regarding sex, protection, and provision).

| 48 | "Because gender roles are becoming obsolete, men feel like they don't have a purpose" How true is this statement really?Men Going Their Own Way is men's liberation and freedom from socially imposed masculine gender roles and expectations. The problem is that society in general still needs someone to perform these roles and therefore can't afford to have men walk away or liberate themselves. Actual, real, men's liberation is a threat to society as it's currently constructed and I think all sides of the political spectrum percieve this in some way, consciously or not. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 09/12/24 10:48 PM |

In the early to mid 1990s, this was through the establishment of Division 51 of the American Psychological Association, The Society for the Psychological Study of Men and Masculinities (SPSMM). The Society for the Psychological Study of Men and Masculinities (SPSMM) first became a division of the American Psychological Association in 1995 in recognition of several growing are… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 23/04/23 10:16 AM |

Look at the reporting on the Gujba college massacre which explicitly targeted men and boys leaving 44 dead.

The whole paper is well worth the read. A second strategy is displacement.

It's not advocating, or even necessarily beneficial, for men. Economic opportunities and how they frankly affect dating and relationships, and how this particularly impacts men.
