15	Australia's national domestic violence hotline does not accept calls from men. All men are referred to a service which "helps men change their abusive and violent behaviour". Reddit is all about shaping the accepted narrative.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	30/04/24 03:54 PM
11	Why don't men protest more? Because protest amounts to publicly labelling yourself an activist, which means others will pigeonhole you. You become a target for smears and personal attacks, and if the media notices your protest they’ll just pick some half-cocked line that serves the interest of their corporate masters and then that’s what everyone will think of you. The state uses man vs. woman division to keep men in check by keeping the machinery of family law and divorce favouring women. Like, you look after your stay at…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	29/03/24 08:46 PM
15	Why do you suppose that subs like this don't get overrun by feminists? You’re being downvoted or ignored for basic rudeness. “I get to see how guys are feeling and roll my eyes at it all” is such a patronizing take. People will engage with you respectfully here if you actually decide to bring something worthwhile to the conversation. But as you say, that would be a headache, right?	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	24/02/24 06:17 PM
3	Gillette doubles down on hating all men - removes all downvotes. Boycott>Downvote The ad isn't helping us resolve any of that historical bullshit. It's dividing people who shouldn't be divided, perpetuating stereotypes and continuing the cycle of fear of men by not allowing anyone to move past it. It's a cynical ploy pandering to people who believe men are bad or dangerous by nature. This ad isn't aimed at men, it's aimed at women shopping for razors. To Gillette, it's all worth it. Controversy sells. Suckers like us will keep discussing the ad. Gillette doesn't care about wo…	/r/PussyPass	18/01/19 01:42 AM
2	Gillette doubles down on hating all men - removes all downvotes. Boycott>Downvote I hope you're right.	/r/PussyPass	18/01/19 12:42 AM
9	Gillette doubles down on hating all men - removes all downvotes. Boycott>Downvote I am still trying to figure out who the target of this ad is. It's not men. I think you've figured it out.	/r/PussyPass	17/01/19 11:37 PM
5	Gillette doubles down on hating all men - removes all downvotes. Boycott>Downvote The ad implies that men as a class need to be better people, because look at this old footage of a man slapping a woman's ass. It propagates the stereotype of the bad man. It actually might lead women to fear all men, because look, here is a million dollar ad campaign saying there is a massive problem. Maybe good, respectful men aren't the majority! (hint: they are) The only winner here is Gillette.	/r/PussyPass	17/01/19 11:34 PM
0	Gillette doubles down on hating all men - removes all downvotes. Boycott>Downvote Yep. This is a successful campaign, sadly. Make us all fight each other, make a buck... That's America in 2018.	/r/PussyPass	17/01/19 11:30 PM
112	Gillette doubles down on hating all men - removes all downvotes. Boycott>Downvote The problem with the ad is that when you call out a group for any reason, you're forgetting that groups are not homogenous. "Come on, men, be better" will be heard by a) a few rapey asshole men and b) a whole lot of normal, respectful men, who outnumber the rapey guys by a very large margin. Women will see the ad and have their "men are dangerous pigs with a thin veneer of civilized behaviour on top" stereotypes reinforced. The normal, respectful guys will feel attacked and speak up about it, on…	/r/PussyPass	17/01/19 08:04 PM
