11	Share your questions and comments for Erin here! I’m so excited for this!	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	11/03/21 11:33 AM
4	"Women And The Pandemic" Talking about amazing women is great! I don’t think a single soul has a problem with that. Great people exist everywhere of every color and gender and we should celebrate as many as we can	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	11/03/21 07:08 AM
0	Why people always say "women and people of color" ? why putting women in one category with POC ? Because historically, those were the groups that lobbied the fiercest for their own rights. Men were assumed to already have them.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	11/03/21 01:09 AM
1	My post history makes me look like a misogynist Yep, but this is the internet. Not real life. People ont he internet are a lot more binary than in real life	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	10/03/21 07:28 PM
2	My post history makes me look like a misogynist I’m not sure there’s a good reason to be over there unless you already agree with what they’re saying. It’s not a place for anyone who advocates for men’s issues.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	10/03/21 12:12 PM
8	The gender bias in how we raise children. It’s because women have the lion share of the voice when it comes to discussion of gender. So when something affects them, it’s “new” information in the gender discussion.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	10/03/21 09:30 AM
0	I know this seems like an impossible task, but.... can we attempt to make a truce with the feminists subreddits? They’re not perfect. Don’t get me wrong. But I’ve seen more and more male centered comments gain traction there, a lot of quasi-feminist gaslighting being either downvoted or heavily replied to with other who disagree. It’s getting a lot better in my opinion. But it’s no where near the quality of this sub	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	09/03/21 08:34 PM
-12	I know this seems like an impossible task, but.... can we attempt to make a truce with the feminists subreddits? r/MensLib is kinda a middle ground imo especially since it’s increasingly becoming more tolerant of male focused opinions. It’s getting a lot better but I still like coming here because I think this sub focuses a lot more on left wing ideals and approaches to men’s issues more than any other sub does.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	09/03/21 09:01 AM
19	Male Victims Of Coercive Control Here ya go. Coercive control is a strategic form of ongoing oppression and terrorism used to instill fear. The abuser will use tactics, such as limiting access to money or monitoring all communication, as a controlling effort Really popular tactic among abusers, especially female abusers because of its lack of needing to be physical/violent.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	08/03/21 11:16 PM
1	International women's day vs Men's day Pre nuptial agreements certainly help make divorce easier and less stressful for both parties because it is legally binding and can be used in court. . There are ways to protect yourself.	/r/MensRights	08/03/21 11:14 PM
0	opinion: UN women helps nobody Putting women in office helps the women who get a chance to be in office. It also helps pave more paths for women to hold office	/r/MensRights	08/03/21 11:10 PM
0	opinion: UN women helps nobody That’s still part of an initiative that they spearheaded.	/r/MensRights	08/03/21 08:15 PM
-1	opinion: UN women helps nobody Here’s an article about some of the stuff they’ve accomplishment and some of their shortcomings. Twenty years on, progress is hard to chart. There have been improvements. Fewer women are dying in childbirth, more are holding political office, and FGM has shot up the agenda. Again, blanket ignorant statement like “UN Women helps no one” isn’t useful to the movement in improving the lives of men.	/r/MensRights	08/03/21 08:02 PM
3	Violence against Men Men aren’t killed because they’re men, they’re killed because they not women. I think that’s what people need to start saying to highlight the ways in which men are the invisible majority of victims of every genocide, war crime, and physical violence.	/r/MensRights	08/03/21 07:58 PM
1	Sources request/ debate plans or ideas There’s a lot less pressure on women to have children than there was in the past and there is a growing expectation for women to be “working moms”. There is such thing as a “Motherhood penalty” where moms who take time off to have a child have a harder time coming back into the workforce. Idk why you would need to counter that because it doesn’t reflect itself in the gender pay gap until they make a choice to have children. I’d use that point to advocate for more parental leave and social welfar…	/r/MensRights	08/03/21 07:55 PM
7	Without men, women wouldn't exist (and neither would men). Women have a fear of men because of differences in physical strength and rates of violence disparities between men and women.	/r/MensRights	08/03/21 07:50 PM
10	A question for "men's rights activists" This is a troll.	/r/MensRights	08/03/21 07:49 PM
1	International women's day vs Men's day Dude, get a prenuptial agreement and make insurance on preventing emotional/psychological turmoil in the off chance you divorce.	/r/MensRights	08/03/21 07:48 PM
1	International women's day vs Men's day No, not every woman will bring emotional drama into your life and you don’t have to associate with women that do. Have higher standards for the women you interact with and date because there are so so SO many women who are calm level headed and a joy to be around.	/r/MensRights	08/03/21 07:47 PM
2	Woman's day. No, Father’s Day is pretty celebrated and I’m pretty sure Google had a doodle for it last year. yep they did. I believe international men’s day should be celebrated too, but Father’s Day is a thing most people recognize.	/r/MensRights	08/03/21 07:44 PM

Providing food to 90 million people in over 75 countries Assisting more than 34 million refugees Authorizing 71 international peacekeeping missions Working with 140 nations to minimize climate change Assisting about 50 countries per year with their elections Providing vaccinations for 58 percent of children in the world Helping about 30 million women a year with maternal health efforts Protecting human rights with 80 treaties and declarations They’re obviously not perfect, but to sa…	/r/MensRights	08/03/21 07:42 PM
3	opinion: UN women helps nobody Are you a fucking troll?!?! Dude fuck you, women are people too. It’s perfectly okay to have organizations that focus on helping women.	/r/MensRights	08/03/21 07:41 PM
-14	Woman's day. Father’s Day is Celebrated. Idle hag you guys are talking about.	/r/MensRights	08/03/21 11:08 AM
3	International women's day vs Men's day That’s fucked and dumb advice. Women in general are as great as anyone else is. They are people first, women second and this type of thinking will hurt men not help them. Honest advice, go to therapy. Talk to a counselor, a licensed professional about how you feel about women and your own personal relationships and learn how to stand up for yourself without being a callous person towards a particular gender.	/r/MensRights	08/03/21 11:05 AM
23	Why is men's, father's days not acknowledged the way women's, mother's day is? Because mothers are seen as more important than fathers. It’s not much more complicated than that, since the 1920s there been a movement away from placing importance on the father as men started working longer and longer hours and women spent more time with their children.	/r/MensRights	08/03/21 11:03 AM
-2	opinion: UN women helps nobody UN women definitely helps people but it’s mostly focused on women. Just because they don’t focus on men doesn’t mean they aren’t helping anyone. However, there should be more outreach front he UN in general in order to assist men who are genuinely struggling the world over.	/r/MensRights	08/03/21 11:01 AM
0	This Clown World is not fixable anymore. Are you: Straight, SuperStraight, Gay, Lesbian, SuperGay or SuperLesbian? It comes from people who do not want to date the Bearded Lady and of course this exploded inside the LGBTASDF community as it was "invented" by some men. That’s has very little to do with men’s rights especially when there’s actual issues that deal with male bodily harm. Leave LGBT and sexuality alone. If you don’t want to date trans people, that’s fine, keep that shit to yourself. It has nothing to do with promoting the welfare of men. I dont know what the hell sports has to do with any of the conversation. This is just fucking dumb, low effort, quasi bigotry at its finest and it would be better if it didn’t exist in this subreddit. Men’s rights…	/r/MensRights	08/03/21 10:59 AM
1	This Clown World is not fixable anymore. Are you: Straight, SuperStraight, Gay, Lesbian, SuperGay or SuperLesbian? It comes from people who do not want to date the Bearded Lady and of course this exploded inside the LGBTASDF community as it was "invented" by some men. This is such a fucking low effort post that has literally nothing to do with affirming men’s rights at all. Take your quasi-conservative bullshit somewhere else.	/r/MensRights	08/03/21 10:53 AM
2	How do I / should I, respond to statistics where women are mentioned but the topic has nothing to do with gender? It’s a way to add to the urgency of the issue. Highlighting female victimization is more likely to make people sympathetic to your cause	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	07/03/21 08:27 PM
1	Teach me how to debate with feminists teach me how to encounter their false statistics and teach me how to respond to their questions properly? You really shouldn’t try to “debate” with people you disagree with because if you do, you’re not trying to learn, you’re trying to win and honestly, you’ll get nowhere doing that. Listen carefully to what they said, take it, do your own research and see if what they said holds up. If it does, great. If it doesn’t, also great, find some sources/evidence that counters what they said and perhaps talk to them again and engage in a reasonable conversation.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	07/03/21 08:25 PM
3	I'm really beginning to hate the expectation that I be self-deprecating regarding my gender You really shouldn’t view your whiteness or maleness as oppressive or evil or something you should be self-deprecating about. It’s just a part of you, you never had any agency in so why talk about it positively or negatively.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	07/03/21 08:23 PM
27	The pejorative term "manchild" is part of a pattern of gender norm enforcement where men are expected to spend their hard earned money on women and children instead of on themselves and their hobbies “Man child” is simply a slur that people (primarily women) use to put down men who don’t meet their expectations. It’s a simple as that, it’s offense and we shouldn’t tolerate it.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	07/03/21 08:20 PM
1	This poor souls literally went to uni in a developing country and was immediately brainwashed into only having feminist ideas and equipment, including soft core porn being in-feminist. Don’t go to uni unless you want to learn nonsense and go into deep debt Nah, college is still worth it. I majored in computer science and wasn’t really subjected to the anti-male bias that you’d see in the humanities.	/r/MensRights	05/03/21 04:19 PM
1	For saying both genders problems should be treated equally my male friend called me an incel... Aside from the content of the argument, you don’t use a slur like that against someone else you’re arguing and it shows that they aren’t mature enough to have a decent argument with you	/r/MensRights	05/03/21 09:04 AM
2	This poor souls literally went to uni in a developing country and was immediately brainwashed into only having feminist ideas and equipment, including soft core porn being in-feminist. Don’t go to uni unless you want to learn nonsense and go into deep debt Dude, just go to college from something in STEM. You’ll actually learn something of value	/r/MensRights	05/03/21 09:01 AM
5	Don't you dare bomb when there are children, and gasp women involved!!! It’s so uncomfortable seeing this and realizing how little your life is worth as a man.	/r/MensRights	05/03/21 08:29 AM
20	There's no reason to believe men will start emotionally supporting each other within our lifetimes. It’s easier to breakdown and cry in front of my male friends than female friends. It’s really women that expect us to be strong and stoic unless the emotion has anything to do with them.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	03/03/21 09:12 PM
6	There's no reason to believe men will start emotionally supporting each other within our lifetimes. I disagree wholeheartedly because I think men do emotionally support each other in ways that look alien to women or a lot of onlookers who think that emotional support looks like hugging, crying and being being intimate. I’ve been lucky enough to have male friends who are there for me whenever I need help, both emotionally and physically (like we play soccer together on a team), but we were once stranger that met on a Sunday afternoon in the summer to play soccer. Since then, we’ve connected ove…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	03/03/21 09:11 PM
5	Female supremacy in the justice system. You’re cherry picking an example of literally the only case where women get punished more harshly than men do for similar crimes. The example of IPV is an ANOMALY and it’s quite literally a criminological fact that has been proven over and over and over again that men get harsher punishments in the justice system. Stop spreading misinformation. And if you’re feminist, you’re ruining feminism with this shitty logic.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	03/03/21 06:08 AM
9	Happy Women's History Month, everyone! I'll see you in November for our day when we get to talk about our testicles and prostates...🙄 Idk what’s the problem with Women’s History Month	/r/MensRights	01/03/21 01:50 PM
3	AskMen has been posting a lot of feminizing articles such as this. Maybe men want to piss standing up? Maybe we want to be different than women? What the actual fuck. These are the kind of articles you write when you need to hit that quota of 7 articles a month and you’re on your 3rd (and it’s Feb 28th). Peeing standing up is much more enjoyable than peeing sitting down. Also more useful in public spaces.	/r/MensRights	01/03/21 05:52 AM
2	Being friends with a woman... I’m sorry for your experience but and important step in overcoming trauma is to learn to trust/allow yourself to trust the other person while also setting clear boundaries. This means, you need to communicate your fears and some of your issues with the women you’re close too, if they’re good friends, they’ll understand and it would be a heart to heart talk. I recently made female friend and we spent time talking about our pasts. Mine includes some abusive relationships where I was the victim of …	/r/MensRights	01/03/21 05:44 AM

3	Construct a new framework to establish a rational academic and social critique to modern feminism I definitely agree. Trans-people are certainly not a monolith and I find it a bit disturbing that this particular trans-woman’s voice was elevated above everyone else’s. Norah Vincent is quite an interesting character who’s experiences I think do a lot for bridging the gap between male and female perspectives on men. I really need to sit down and read her book in its entiret	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	27/02/21 01:37 PM
11	Construct a new framework to establish a rational academic and social critique to modern feminism This is something I’d like to see too and to be honest, there are some critiques of feminist ideas of masculinity with some proposals to a more like Belinda Brown suggesting some anthropological evidence.pdf). Yuchen Yang also does a good job of dissecting how hegemonic masculinity is a pretty big part of the problem. So there are some critiques. Side note: while looking into the foundational aspects of hegemonic masculinity and where the source of its ideas come from, I’ve found that it mainly …	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	27/02/21 04:57 AM

1	Are Misandrists feminists? No, it’s not misinformation. However, I think it’s a complete misreading of what the MRM stands for and who’s considered the MRM. People like RooshV and Return of Kings are way more PÚA focused and don’t even talk about men’s issues outside of dating. So it’s biased	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	21/02/21 10:10 PM
1	Are Misandrists feminists? SPLC Link P---- is the only real empowerment women will ever know. Put all the hopelessly wishful thinking of feminist ideology aside and what remains is the fact that it is men and pretty much men only who draw power from accomplishment, who invent technology, build nations, cure disease, create empires and generally advance civilization. Women whether acknowledging it makes us feel warm and fuzzy or not, depend on men for all of that and the only tool they have at their disposal to have any so…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	21/02/21 05:29 PM
1	Are Misandrists feminists? They identify as feminists more than men’s rights activists for many reasons. 1) Men’s Rights Activism is obscure. They’re researchers on Genocide/Social issues and might not be aware of MRAs. 2) Men’s Rights Activism is wrongfully maligned in modern media: Media has painted MRAs as being all tradcons who want nothing more than to establish male supremacy over women and preach hateful rhetoric against women. This is, as you likely know, very false because there are plenty of left-wing male advoc…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	21/02/21 01:44 PM
1	Are Misandrists feminists? I disagree heavily. I think men can very much enforce negative gender stereotypes against other men, just as much (but tbh to a lessen extent) than most women and certainly most feminists. Many Feminists heavily reinforce patriarchal values that demean men but misandry is just man hating. Also Adam Jones and his colleagues are an example of non-misandrist feminists	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	21/02/21 05:25 AM
8	Are Misandrists feminists? Some misandrists are feminist but not all feminists are misandrists. Misandrists are just people that hate men for being men, they include other men who send men to die, ignore male suffering or are overall shitty to men because they’re “not women”. Men can be misandrist too.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	21/02/21 12:09 AM
2	My experience presenting as a woman on an online chat room. And how it affected my perceptions. Hmm that’s interesting. Now I want to apply to become a bartender at 40 lol. But seriously, though I’m sure it does happen, I’m curious about how often and in what circumstances	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	17/02/21 04:19 AM
12	When was the last time you were asked for consent? Never. Imo, is one of the most frustrating and heart aching things in life as a man: we never feel desired in any capacity and our boundaries are rarely respected.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	15/02/21 03:46 AM
19	My experience presenting as a woman on an online chat room. And how it affected my perceptions. This was super interesting read! One thing I don’t think a lot of women understand about men is that we really can’t empathize with the whole “being over sexualized” thing. Men are rarely sexualized and/or appreciated when they display any level of sexuality. In fact, they’re actively shamed for it. It would be nice to feel desired. I think this is an interesting experiment and even one you could highkey, write a book about!	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	15/02/21 03:44 AM
3	Does Feminism support male issues? Coined, popularized etc not entirely sure about the word’s first usage but I do know that bell hooks is at least in part responsible for its popularity.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	14/02/21 03:20 PM
4	Does anyone here do any actual activism? I have an Instagram page called @male_liberation if you’d like to check it out.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	14/02/21 01:34 PM
4	Didn't I notice something? I don't understand what I said wrong. The problem is that aggression is associated with being male. Simply as that. My biggest issue with this is that there’s really no way to objectively do this without injecting your own personal bias especially when using gendered language does not change the fact that aggression happened nor does it really tackle the issue of aggression. Basically, when you associate aggression with masculinity, you’re showing a personal bias with ascribing violence and aggression with men. There is no benefit t…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	14/02/21 01:31 PM
7	Does Feminism support male issues? Ok, I want to give a bit more of a balanced take on this question because it seems a lot of the responses are simply “no, feminism hates men, always has, always will”. Feminism is a very strange movement and very difficult to actually define because there are so many issues and perspectives given its age, longevity and it’s widespread acceptance in mainstream American gender politics. With all that said, I think the analytical approach that the Men’s Movement has in looking at male oppression bo…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	14/02/21 01:27 PM
