| 14 | Who perceives women's rights as threatening to men and boys? Explaining modern sexism among young men in EuropeThis is a prime example on how to lie and manipulate with crafted "statistics". The main problem behind this numbers are the concepts used as the foundation of the "study", because they will automatically bias the conclusion before the data collection. The main conceptual bias driving the whole paper is the false equivalece between perceiving unfairness against men and "perceiving women's rights as a threat" and "being sexist". Basically, what this false equivalence does is creating a framework … | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 04/10/22 12:05 PM |

| 10 | Is the opinion on feminism starting to change or is it just the algoritm?I think language plays a big role in this kind of phenomenon. Algorithms search for patterns and correlations between content, using words as their input. But what happens when an ideology is so normalized that the name of that ideology is not mentioned anymore by its beholders? Most dogmas, concepts and biases included within the sphere of feminism are constantly reinforced in regular "entertainment" or "informative" content, without even mentioning the word 'feminism' (your search input).

| 2 | should we be attaking feminism? Or just misandry?What an odd thing to say in an age when some of the great feminist thinkers have been referred to as "seminal" feminists even though the word "seminal" is related to the word "semen". Yes, the word "seminal" is related to the latin word "semen" which literally means "seed". What is wrong with associating the start of a thing with a seed?

Ok, but 6% of the total time is not equivalent to 6% of the total content. There is no simple way to measure the volume of content, but maybe the biggest volume has been produced in 21st century (including both academic and folk content).

| 9 | should we be attaking feminism? Or just misandry?I think we need to be precise with words here. In your question you mention "feminism" (the ideology) but then you proceed using a Bill Burr example that talks about "feminists" (the people). When talking about "feminists" (persons that identify as feminists or express the feminist dogmas), as with any other person, there is no reason to start an attack in a peaceful scenario. But people counter when they are attacked in the first place, if a person uses their ideology in a harmful way to attack… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 03/09/22 12:06 PM |

How is explaining the science behind being trans transphobic?This is where social constructivism falls, it borders on scientific denialism to completely ignore biological factors. Their importance may often be exaggerated... To be honest, we still don't know if it's exaggerated, it could be that science prove over time that in fact we are underestimating that factors.

| 2 | What Can We Do About Information Warfare?From a left-wing perspective this scenario represents a perfect example of Cultural Hegemony (in Gramscian sense): "Cultural hegemony is the dominance of a culturally diverse society by the ruling class who manipulate the culture of that society—the beliefs and explanations, perceptions, values, and mores—so that the worldview of the ruling class becomes the accepted cultural norm."

| 1 | Intersectionality??The whole idea is mathematically flawed since its inception. A simple mathematical analysis shows that the combination of variables as low as 300 objects (n) with a sample size (r) as low as 5 result in more than 19 billion cases. With this low variables, we've already reached a number greater than world population, so intersectionality at its core leads to individualism: the intersection of a few traits numerically leads to combinations that may only be applicable at individual level. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 27/04/22 02:52 PM |

I agree with almost all points, I just have one comment regarding gender roles. It is true that the ways and rituals we use to perform gender roles are a kind of "script" derived from recent social conventions ("recent" in historical lengths), but many gendered behaviors themselves have been biologically modeled throughout the course of evolution.

Essentially, "patriarchy" is an ideological fantasy (in a very Zizekian sense) that became a dogma, reinforced by its academic ideologues and therefore by the media and other power structures to the point it helped modern feminism became culturally hegemonic (in a very Gramscian sense) maintaining it in a dominant position that actually makes it part of the establishment of present times. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 01/03/22 04:32 PM |

I generically refer a possible evolutionary trend as "what most men would do if..." and is up to science (real, properly executed science, from many fields) to determine what would be this trend.

If "males" are "supposed to want to impregnate everything that moves" then why are there so many men who latch onto just one woman/partner and spend their entire life force on them?This is a very important point for this discussion. Evopsych is not about what people actually do due to current social and cultural reasons/constraints. If done right (scientifically speaking), it is more about understanding the impulses human brain may have due to hard-wired mechanisms inherited along evolution. Is true that many of that mechanisms could have evolved from centuries of social modeling, but that doesn't mean they aren't hard-wired for current generation.

| 2 | Reproductive rights vs justiceI made a post here I'm LWMA a month ago analyzing this issue from the perspective of egalitarianism and consent, is a model that still needs to be worked, expanded and refined, but it was a first attempt to put side by side the men and women perspectives about Reproductive rights: https://www.reddit.com/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates/comments/rqxwlc/the_first_step_towards_an_egalitarian_society_is/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 30/01/22 05:55 PM |
| 2 | The first step towards an egalitarian society is Reproductive Freedom for everyone, including menCertainly there is room for improvement in this initial model, I think that some open ended questions could lead to some confusions. As also mentioned by other commenter, the box with the question if "woman can abort" could be segmented into more specific scenarios, for example if she can't abort because of laws impeding her, or because of "natural" causes (ex: there are medical conditions that threatens her life if she abort, and she is technically unable to abort without risking her own life).… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 30/12/21 03:38 PM |
| 2 | The first step towards an egalitarian society is Reproductive Freedom for everyone, including menFor sure! Bodily autonomy including the right to abort is one of the components of Reproductive Freedom, and is maybe the must publicly discussed nowadays (even though it isn't already solved as an issue). But there are certainly many other components around this topic that also need to be discussed, and in particular, the ones regarding men are mostly in the shadows and we need to give some visibility and awareness. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 30/12/21 02:02 PM |

Sociology has multiple approaches, and feminism is just one of them. Feminism within academia goes beyond interpreting data. It defines it's own concepts in an ideological way and then applies the methodologies that better fit its narratives to generate its data in a way that reinforces the concepts from which it born. Or in other cases, feminist research collects data from other sources/fields but only when it fits the ideological narrative. (For ref… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 27/03/21 03:33 AM |
