If anyone's interested in Crenshaw's intersectionality, but wonder if it has any possibly flawed components... you might like Norman Finkelstein's criticism, in his book "I'll Burn That Bridge When I Get to It!" [edit] Keep in mind Crenshaw introduced this in a law review article. He breaks it down into 3 components: A single individual can suffer multiple forms of oppression: Agrees and mentions pre-Crenshaw lit on this. The oppression of Black women is distinct from and greater than the sum of…

Yep, anthropologist and activist David Graeber said: There seems, indeed, a decided lack of sympathy for noncombatant men in war zones. Even reports by international human rights organizations speak of massacres as being directed almost exclusively against women, children, and, perhaps, the elderly. The implication, almost never stated outright, is that adult males are either combatants or have something wrong with them. And indeed, human rights org Amnesty International said "we do not consider…

Someone said "Men do not get representation is largely due to other men," Some points I use in response: Many men also fight for freedoms for everyone. For example, a guy coined the term "feminism." And maybe his utopian socialism has more radical feminist implications than any radical feminist I know. This is why many leftists traditionally focused on: - Institutional analysis, not identity politics. - Reason and elementary moral principles, not ideology. - Elites vs their populations. - Teamin…

Seems there's a reason they don't instead say: "Yes, organize with us to take down The Man that treats you like cannonfodder! Let's win each other some dignity."

BTW I don't mean to dissuade anyone's freedom of expression. But the OP wrote: I have decided to take this one on my own because most of the guys are very uneducated in this realm That's going it alone. Leftists organize solidarity and support for strength in numbers. Hell, even rightwingers do that; no one wants to be jumped alone. There's good books on this, like Marshall Ganz's "People, Power, and Change: Organizing for Democratic Renewal." Downloadable at Anna's Archive.

Don't do it, it can have dire consequences for your reputation and career. Yeah, a 3-on-1 fight looks like a major disadvantage, with the consequence you can get canceled (aka censored and blacklisted). If it's published somewhere, hiring managers may learn about it, and some may prefer not to work with you. The risk analysis doesn't seem good, unless you're independently wealthy or want to make this your career or something. And a debate is a fight, an irrational institution, because you can't …

Yes. Today's men's movements often organize as a reaction to mainstream bureaucratic feminism, but the problems go deeper — down to institutions like nation-states, wageslavery, family, bureaucracy, etc. Take red pill manosphere. Why train like spartans? Because nation-states and wageslave markets tend to be pretty darwinian — you're only valued according to your relevant skills, social connections, and/or capacity to inflict violence. Even schools are organized as darwinian tournaments, grading…

Source: 6. Epistemic Silencing: Labeling a woman a "misandrist" undermines her credibility and dismisses her claims without engaging with their substance Hedges (2024); Hopkins-Doyle et al. (2024) By that logic, labeling a man "misogynist" should have similar effect. Probably all her claims could be reversed like this. It's like she knows such accusations (like "antisemite") are usually deployed as thought-terminating cliches to silence someone. Rather than claims to seriously investigate, with …

Weirdly, r/anarchism's mods informed me that this is a "hate sub." Even though a rule here says, "We have no objection to the genuinely egalitarian aspects of feminism." I noticed their weekly "Radical Women Wednesday" and "Radical BIPOC Thursday" posts are always conspicuously empty; and they have far less traffic than this sub, despite being a decade older. Seems they alienate women and BIPOC, who probably participate here far more.

Oh sorry I didn't mean to imply that you were! Just that leftists often demonize incels... if they treat incels respectfully, then hopefully they treat other men respectfully too. I wonder if people demonized postal workers too, back in the day. Anyway, hope it helps, sorry if it doesn't. fwiw I also like The Demon's Manual, on dealing with irrational social rules.

So what if I quote bell hooks to feminists? I quote Adam Smith to rightwing libertarians. And maybe Norman Finkelstein to you. I try to speak on someone's level, not smell my own farts. Not to be manipulative, but to better understand their perspectives. And right now they're criticizing me for posting here on an "MRA" sub. Are you just two sides of the same coin? Would you both switch sides if you swapped genders? Regarding the psychotherapy sub... I probably wasn't clear: if you're undergoing …

You might find r/PsychotherapyLeftists useful! They're good and serious. It's unfortunate that we leave it up to a class of professionals to learn our mental structures — and pathologize them. When they call you crazy, maybe think of this quote: In a pathological society such as our own, in contrast, those individuals who do somehow manage to preserve that inborn artistic “genius” with which all children begin their lives, do so at tremendous personal cost; they are typically driven half mad by …

My biggest concern about r/leftwingmaleadvocates is that if we define our advocacy mainly in opposition to feminism, we stay tethered to its framework and risk becoming a reaction to it. This is hard to avoid. Graeber & Wengrow popularized "schismogenesis", which is people defining themselves in opposition to another. So your tribe may have clearly better kayaks, and mine has better shoeshoes, and we both know it — doesn't matter, I'm not adopting your goddamn kayaks. Or like online discussions,…

Yeah, leftists fight for underdogs, but we need to start by investigating. Just like any other crime, with reason and rationality. Because humans mislead and lie; someone claiming to be a victim may actually be an abuser. And in many countries, people imprisoned on false charges are threatened with prison rape! False victims may not even be aware they're lying. There's psychotic people who believe their own false claims. I spoke with one who almost ruined a male coworker's career, until everyone…

There's lots of half-joking in manosphere lit... but I think sigma males are basically an ad-hoc buggy description of one facet of anarchist guys, as misunderstood by a rightwinger. Masculinity will always be partly defined by the female gaze, as long as men wish to learn cultural patterns that tend to stoke female desire. But which female gaze are you interested in arousing?

You can kill a man, but you can't kill an idea.
