3	How open is this sub to working with feminists? You're spot on!!! I'm a huge fan of campaigns around specific issues. E.g., antiwar campaigns, fighting for universal healthcare, pushing for nuclear disarmament. It prevents this trap people fall into where if they don't agree on every single issue, they can't work together on any issue. Hell yes, I'll work with right-wingers who oppose our foreign imperialism, on that issue. Politics is about power. And power is gained by, among other things, expanding the tent. The Left, such as it exists, ne…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	13/12/24 05:31 AM
66	How open is this sub to working with feminists? Yes of course we can work together! Feminism is a difficult term because it means so many different things. I used to call myself a feminist, or, following Bell Hooks' advice state that I "advocate for feminism". In my mid-thirties now, having spent a lot of time in leftist activist spaces, I'm not really interested in the hardcore-identity-politics-style of feminism that seems to have taken over. And as a result, I don't claim myself to be a feminist anymore. Of course, there are other issues w…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	12/12/24 04:32 AM
1	While Harris is better than Trump, she is no male advocate nor progressive Democrats are doves? Any cursory reading of history makes this statement laughable.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	30/08/24 06:34 PM
1	While Harris is better than Trump, she is no male advocate nor progressive Vote third party, friend. Don't succumb to the logic of the abuser: "you'll never do better, babe".	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	30/08/24 06:34 PM
0	While Harris is better than Trump, she is no male advocate nor progressive Also lol @ the idea that the Democrats aren't a party of war. Trump would maybe get us out of Ukraine, which would be great. He's a wild card and could certainly start some wars, but pretending like he's more pro-war than the Democratic Party is factually incorrect.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	28/08/24 07:36 PM
1	While Harris is better than Trump, she is no male advocate nor progressive EVERY PRESIDENT IS A CRIMINAL. The two parties represent THE SAME INTERESTS. They just keep you in line with fear-mongering. And yes, the people actually, literally, currently, on video doing an actual, literal, modern day genocide are more genocidal. Your thought process ignores actual material facts for some hypothetical future. They're murdering Palestinians as we speak. Just know you're approving that with your vote. Try this documentary out: https://youtu.be/ECFpW5zoFXA?si=dv1euWTa9M1-BhdD	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	28/08/24 07:25 PM
1	While Harris is better than Trump, she is no male advocate nor progressive You are literally parroting DNC propaganda. How do you not understand you're writing a blank check to a war party? Remember how we survived Trump already? Trump would be awful, sure...but what is worse is waiting any longer to start a REAL political project that empowers working class people. The Democratic Party is designed to absorb popular energy and use it to the benefit of the corporate state. And if genocide isn't a red line for you...I really don't know what to say.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	28/08/24 04:28 PM
23	Male privilege is useless when a man doesn't have any other privileges to enhance it. Exactly. Am I on top of the world because I'm a straight white man (gasp!)? Or am I on the bottom because I'm working class and poor? What about the abuse I suffered as a child? Or the drug addiction and mental illness I grapple with? It's so frustrating that only a few of these complexities are outwardly apparent to the ill-intentioned, who then go on to assume my life has been easy and comfortable.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	26/08/24 04:31 PM
1	While Harris is better than Trump, she is no male advocate nor progressive You're so brainwashed. Keep thinking short term, "tHiS iS tHe MoSt ImPoRtAnT eLeCtIoN oF oUr LiVeS", every year and watch the country slide into oblivion. Politics is a game of fear and leverage. When you lemmings vote Dem every year regardless of how truly awful they are, there's incentive for them to change.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	26/08/24 02:09 AM
2	Men and the Democratic Party Quixotic to still believe the Democratic Party isn't a thoroughly corrupt representative of capital and the military-industrial-complex. It's fanciful politics like this that hold us back from forming a real left movement in this country.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	25/08/24 11:08 PM
0	While Harris is better than Trump, she is no male advocate nor progressive Classic idiocy. I never said Trump was a friend to the Palestinians. You're ready to be a lapdog to their literal murderer's though. Did you know there are third parties?	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	25/08/24 12:16 AM
-4	While Harris is better than Trump, she is no male advocate nor progressive I don't support Trump, but do you really believe his prosecution wasn't political? The rest of your post just reads like a bunch of buzzwords, politics purely as aesthetics and vibes. In all your excitement about nebulous identity wins, you're ditching the Palestinian people. For...Kamala Harris? What a joke.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	24/08/24 02:27 AM
79	Reddit doesn’t care about you. It's important to realize that all these social media companies will ruthlessly and arbitrarily suppress whatever content they want regardless of its validity. We can use these platforms to connect, discuss, and offer support, but I do think it's important to work on other ways of connecting and focus on connecting in your own community. These are not our platforms and reddit will never hesitate to remind of that.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	11/07/24 07:22 PM
32	How do folks feel about men's groups? Literally just got home from my local men's group. It is fucking amazing and a kind of support I've never had in my life prior to this last year. I guess it's kinda geared towards just general support, but I've brought my addiction and mental health issues into the group with good results. Lots of good men dealing with the same or dealing with any of a variety of other issues (fatherhood, illness, relationships). What I want to see would probably just be more of them. Media coverage or not. This…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	02/07/24 03:39 AM
3	Men's Issues in The Middle East and North Africa. See also: Aaron Mate and Max Blumenthal. Chris Hedges is good too. These are Westerners who have spent time in the region, have a rigorous journalistic standard, and aren't afraid to call out the US empire. Thanks for your recommend too!!!	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	29/06/24 11:16 PM
10	The myth that men are safer This^ The problem with so much of the identity politics stuff is that there's no nuance. I'm sure women are in more danger in a lot of situations, but as the OP points out, that situation can be reversed.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	29/06/24 06:08 PM
20	Could feminist double standards contribute to rape culture? (Mona Chollet and the topic of mother on son abuse) Horrific. I experienced emotional incest with sexual overtones from my own mother and it has made life really hard. I can't imagine what this poor young man experiencing statutory rape had to go through in life.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	16/06/24 04:33 PM
2	What do we do when the inevitable male far right backlash comes? What proportion of the population believes that position? Certainly they probably have an outsized voice, but is it even worth crafting policy based on some niche, zealot position?	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	07/06/24 10:51 PM
11	What do we do when the inevitable male far right backlash comes? Getting rid of capitalism absolutely does change that issue. Living in scarcity and precarity under capitalism pits people against each other. There will be less necessity to have a scapegoat under a more fair system. Not to mention, a necessary step in smashing the capitalist order is a class-based movement of mutual solidarity between races, genders, nationalities, etc. A movement that's infighting about who the wicked gender is will never get it done.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	07/06/24 03:11 PM
14	What do we do when the inevitable male far right backlash comes? Can't play that game though. They'll always call you something. "Class Reductionist" to me=someone who knows how to drill down to the fundamentals.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	07/06/24 03:07 PM
13	How Society is Pushing Men Toward Toxic Conservative Values and How AWDTSG is Accelerating It You're caught in a distortion...arguing against Biden is not arguing for conservatives. https://www.usnews.com/opinion/blogs/robert-schlesinger/2015/10/23/mitt-romney-finally-admits-that-obamacare-came-from-romneycare I'm not sure what your argument might be. Where can you show anyone in the Democratic Party fighting for universal healthcare with more than platitudes? And I'll take any opportunity to mention what Israel is doing in Gaza right now. It's a genocide paid for by our tax dollars.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	10/04/24 09:51 PM
11	How Society is Pushing Men Toward Toxic Conservative Values and How AWDTSG is Accelerating It lol, ok. If actual genocide isn't a red line for you, you're lost. Also the infantile "anything anti-Biden is pro-Trump" repetition. You a leftist interested in actual change, or just a Democratic Party lemming?	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	10/04/24 09:19 PM
11	How Society is Pushing Men Toward Toxic Conservative Values and How AWDTSG is Accelerating It Democrats aren't working on universal healthcare. Biden said he'd veto it, but even AOC isn't doing any real work on it at this point. Remember how Biden campaigned on a public option, weak as that is...and didn't do it? Obamacare was originally literally a Republican plan. It did some good things, but was engineered as a payout to insurance companies. Genocide: Gaza. Edit: funny how there are no actual retorts, just downvotes. Thought this was a leftist sub...	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	10/04/24 08:30 PM
4	How Society is Pushing Men Toward Toxic Conservative Values and How AWDTSG is Accelerating It Great take. I catch myself having reactionary impulses myself with the omnipresent idpol shoved down our throats. But ultimately, that's not the way. Women have struggles that we don't and vice versa. We all need each other.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	10/04/24 08:24 PM
9	How Society is Pushing Men Toward Toxic Conservative Values and How AWDTSG is Accelerating It Friendly aside: voting blue gets you no closer to universal healthcare. Even Obamacare was originally a Republican plan. (Democrats also conducting actual genocide right now, FWIW)...	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	10/04/24 08:21 PM
9	Carville in NYT: "48 percent of the people that vote are males. Do you mind if they have some consideration?" -- was excited to read this. Rare Carville W.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	28/03/24 10:23 PM
