| 16 | Betty Friedan - Feminist, Men's Rights ActivistFriedan in general seems to have been the only feminist policymaker that insisted on actual gender neutrality. I'm not sure I'd agree with that much of her ideas, but just looking at the results of her advocacy and that interview quote "Dominance is a burden. Most men who are honest will admit that.", she certainly gets a badge for being an actually different feminist from me. | /r/MensRights | 01/07/26 09:44 AM |

I really do hate how reddit allows users to hide their post history. Reddit got so much worse after they did this. Who on earth is upvoting slop like this? Men are making a quiet, private calculation that the costs of participating in modern dating, certain educational institutions, and societal structures now vastly outweigh the expected returns. This differs from your interpretation of "The Red Pill Narrative" how? Asymmetric Soci… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 04/06/26 02:51 AM |

| 5 | Why there's feminism but there's no meninism ?There almost was meninism. It was called Masculism and Warren Farrell tried to use the term to appeal to people for a while. The term didn't appeal to feminists or some of the early MRAs, but "men's rights" stuck. I think this was because feminists liked the term because it sounded ridiculous to them, and the MRM didn't find it particularly objectionable. | /r/MensRights | 24/05/26 11:20 PM |
| 2 | Many "intersectional feminists" have a very shallow understanding of intersectionalitythe way intersectionality is used by feminists has nothing to do with the original way Yeah I'll call bullshit on this. Give me an example of the term "intersectionality" being used in the 1990s in a non-feminist way. AI says it was Crenshaw's creation. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 02/05/26 10:12 PM |

| 2 | The question I wish people would stop askingNot as sure about the slides, but this was very well written by the Tin Men again. Masculinity, fundamentally, is the state of being male. Attempts to make it more specific than that seem to me to be more often than not a vehicle for the the same feminist word games that are played with the terms "patriarchy" and "intersectionality". If the feminist ideas are under attack the terms are simple and innocuous. Otherwise they are load-bearing terms that brings with them half of the feminist worldvie… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 25/04/26 02:20 AM |
| 4 | Dear feminist guests: mainstream feminism is a hate group - If you identify as a feminist and don't hate men, you are the fringeThe argument here isn't so much whether Steinem was using feminism to subvert youth festivals, but whether that feminism had any substantial amount of true equality to be subverted. Given that she was not too long after Friedan, perhaps that could be argued, but Friedan's support of legal equality seems more to be an aberration within feminism than the norm. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 24/04/26 09:27 AM |

| 1 | Regarding the "bombshell" study, as a MRA I say wives should "obey husband" exactly as much as husbands should "obey wives"I guess I'm wrong. Still though, "listen and respond appropriately" is such a downright wonky and watered-down way to think about that word, especially in context. | /r/MensRights | 12/03/26 08:39 PM |
| 2 | Regarding the "bombshell" study, as a MRA I say wives should "obey husband" exactly as much as husbands should "obey wives"That in marriage vows, the original word, often translated as obey, means to 'listen and respond appropriately.' Yeah, ὑποτάσσω (the bible word underpinning the traditional marriage vows) means absolutely nothing of the sort. The preacher in question was torturing the source material to fit a feminist agenda. Even the etymology is "to arrange under". I find it odd that some people consider "obey" to be an absolute though, it is just the verb form of "obedience", which in English is often employe… | /r/MensRights | 12/03/26 08:27 PM |

If we do justice and solve problems without passing a value judgement on immutable characteristics, we can help people with science rather than prejudice. It shouldn't divide. It does, regardless. Intersectionalism divides because it seeks what doesn't unite people and what aren't people's common problems. Its opposite is solidarity which unites people around common experience.

| 1 | Canada’s Initiative for Menintersectionality is solely a feminist philosophy. There is no anti-feminist intersectionalism nor is there such a thing as anti-feminist intersectional analysis. But yes, we are an intersectional feminist country at that. It is certainly true that there are knock-on effects to stacked disadvantages. However the way those knock-on effects work in reality doesn't really match with intersectional analysis at all.

| 22 | Canada’s Initiative for MenLo and behold our govt is paying attention and is seeing the problem and wants to address it. LOL Our current government is arguably the most intersectional government ever. The government has no interest in the well-being of men when it conflicts with the philosophy of intersectionalism which never sees men as victims of women. You'll also notice that the CCMF isn't mentioned in its support section on domestic or family violence. You can also read that presently in the abominable canada.ca link… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 07/03/26 01:37 PM |
| 1 | "A Restore Britain Government would overhaul the family court process to ensure equal treatment of fathers" — Rupert Lowe, MPReform invited the the tories who caused mass immigration into their party. To be honest Reform's leader made it pretty clear they weren't going to rock the boat to much fairly early on. So reform is only so much different than tories, and the tories are a feminist party with a few exceptions. Also tories are basically dead as a party, so there really is only vote "splitting" between Reform and Restore, who are extremely different parties. | /r/MensRights | 18/02/26 03:37 AM |

| 1 | Why discourse in feminism is important to LWMAsThe highest sitting member of that government was found guilty of beating her husband and was never charged. Canada hasn't really had a lot of women prime ministers (one, in fact), and she was a conservative (and for less than a year). Canada has also had more than a decade of feminist governments. This isn't really accurate. You are probably thinking of a governor general, who isn't really best described as "sitting member", since she would have been appointed, and not to parliament. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 23/01/26 06:35 AM |

Yeah unless you live in an Islamic country, your friend is an actual inegalitarian feminist. Where in the world these days does an analysis of "equal pay" mean that women are being underpaid?

Intersectional feminism is the most mask-off of all the types of feminism. No other form of feminism will just outright tell you that white people should be discriminated against for the sake of equality. Most of the other forms of feminism aren't willing to outright say that men should be actively marginalized, but intersectionalists are quite happy to do so! Other forms of feminism typically go out of their… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 16/01/26 11:00 AM |

You can scroll through their twitter feed and the problems will be readily apparent. It isn't just that the UN women are intersectionalists, which would be bad enough.

It used to be that publishers got money both from male readers and female readers -- especially female readers, but certainly both! The present environment created by publishers harms their ability to make money in total.

That is not now Canada works, however. Check this out: Section 28 applies “notwithstanding any other provision in the Charter” (Dickson v.

| 2 | Andrew Wilson is probably one of the worst representatives we could possibly have for mens rights...Ah, fair. I'm actually not aware of any significant positive news for the MRM in UK/AUS at all despite the increase in feminist law and policy. Some of the other EU countries have gotten shared parenting stuff IIRC, but since most of that information isn't primarily in English I don't know about anything broader. In the US and Canada, however, feminism could theoretically lose almost all of its political power in the next 20 years for gender-related reasons. | /r/MensRights | 23/11/25 09:34 PM |

That is true. The discussion isn't wholly pointless, but that much is true. The average person generally doesn't understand how to interpret statistics so I don't fault you for not knowing this- but surveys, even when distributed by a relatively accurate source such as YouGov, are considered at the lower end of the levels of evidence hierarchy.

| 1 | No, for the last time, men do not get killed less than womenThe brief answer to this accusation is that no one knows for sure which sex kills the other more. Indeed, after reading the statistics from my source alone I did realize this. The first mostly-female method is poisoning. The second is the wife hiring a professional killer, The third is the wife persuading a boyfriend to do the killing."

| 6 | No, for the last time, men do not get killed less than womenThe reason for that, however, comes down to the fact that men are, in absolute terms, victimized at higher rates than women. This is not the case, however, when it comes to domestic homicide. Expressing the result as a percentage of homicides does result in some wonderfully misleading graphs which is par for the course for feminist misinformation, but in this particular case there is still a substantially greater amount of known domestic homicides with female victims than male victims.

But yeah, women are more likely to be killed by their spouse, ex-spouse, or boyfriend/girlfriend than men are in an absolute sense (and not merely in the sense that a greater proportion of female homicide victims are initimate relationship related), and this can be confirmed from other sources (link).

I believe the following are true: "63% of 100 = 63" "100 less 63% ["of 100" is implied] = 37" "63% less than 100 = 37" "37% less than 100 = 63" "63% greater than 100 = 163" "100 plus 63% ["of 100" is implied] = 163" (for some reason "more" is ungrammatical here and "greater" doesn't seem right either) "163% of 100 = 163" "58.73% greater than 63 = ~100" "158.73% of 63 = ~100" These… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 15/03/21 11:47 AM |

Fair enough. I suppose it was to much to think you'd read me charitably, or read me fully, or even catch on to the relevance of "barely pubescent". Anyways, here you go: Saying 5 years old shouldn't share bathroom or sleep in the same bedroom/bed, is saying something sexual is going to happen Um, no. No it isn't. Parents are often fine to have young siblings share a bedroom. Separation of bathrooms has more to do with teenagers, and also … | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 02/02/20 07:56 AM |
| 3 | If the word sexualize means "to make sexual", then our society sexualizes boys from the moment we tell them it's "inappropriate" for them to use the same restroom / locker room as women.they are separated from girls for the same reason men are separated from women, that male sexuality is inherently threatening to women. If that's what Coraline is saying then I missed it entirely, because that's neither obvious nor true. The truth is that separation between genders in NA has more to do in its origins with the puritans, separating women and girls from men and boys for the sake of chastity (protecting barely pubescent boys from visual sexual stimulation).

No it isn't. Parents are often fine to have young siblings share a bedroom. Separation of bathrooms has more to do with teenagers, and also adult supervision: particularly men and girls sharing a space. I don't know about you, but in my country there are family changerooms (much less common nowadays) so in some cases 5 year olds do share such a space (usually bathro… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 02/02/20 07:24 AM |

| -1 | If the word sexualize means "to make sexual", then our society sexualizes boys from the moment we tell them it's "inappropriate" for them to use the same restroom / locker room as women.Okay, so if Zarya was a pedo in-lore, people would understand you if you said that Zarya is a sexualized character? This isn't a comparison that's worth making, it's its own issue. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 02/02/20 06:51 AM |
| 1 | If the word sexualize means "to make sexual", then our society sexualizes boys from the moment we tell them it's "inappropriate" for them to use the same restroom / locker room as women.It really isn't intuitive. Is a man who sees, say, Zarya (Overwatch) as strangely masculine (thereby projecting prejudices...) sexualizing her? If you say that Zarya is a sexualized character people aren't going to understand you. Feminism likes to exploit this sort of misunderstanding as I pointed out. It is inappropriate. Not a word game. If you need to go into this much detail about what words technically mean, you're the one who's playing word games. How kafkaesque. Brilliant. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 02/02/20 06:38 AM |
| 2 | If the word sexualize means "to make sexual", then our society sexualizes boys from the moment we tell them it's "inappropriate" for them to use the same restroom / locker room as women.The prejudice against male sexuality starts before you even have one. Sure, but that is not what "sexualize" means. When sexualize means "to make sexual", it doesn't mean that you can replace every instance of "to make relating to the two sexes" with sexualize. The reason for this lies in the definition of sexual: relating to the instincts, physiological processes, and activities connected with physical attraction or intimate physical contact between individuals. relating to the two sexes When s… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 02/02/20 06:25 AM |

| 1 | Female Psychiatrist sleeps with patient. She Looses license. Make patient is the problem. Insane bias in Canada.I think the idea being had here is that no colleagues should be on the investigative panel, because there may be a competitive relationship between them. Normally I'd say the reverse, that there is an incentive to be especially nice to your colleagues because you might end up needing something from them or being one another's superior later. | /r/MensRights | 02/02/20 01:01 AM |
| 1 | Canada "A father contacted us from jail after he was arrested for failing to pay child support arrears to the Family Responsibility Office. He was unaware that he owed any support, and he had custody of his child when he was arrested." Tweet with me to seek justice.I think what the judge is getting at there is that although he is broke on paper the guy seems to the judge to have been illegally protecting his wealth by having someone hold onto it for him. That part isn't as disturbing as the article tries to make it sound. | /r/MensRights | 02/02/20 12:53 AM |

He was unaware that he owed any support, and he had custody of his child when he was arrested." Tweet with me to seek justice.Here is a slightly less rosy story showing that in Ontario prison for failure to pay even when unemployed is a thing. This guy in my link is some sort of fraudster, so not exactly a nice person, even then, it is troubling to read about: Justice Kurz sentenced to Mr. Garrick to 90 days in jail unless he paid the arrears of $55,000. The judge then added that if the ongoing support was not paid, Garrick would serve a further 3 days for each and every default.

| 1 | /r/Antinatalism claims men have the urge to rape and that we should forcefully sterilize everyone to prevent rapists from being born.If they want others to do things to their own bodies, they should prove they are willing to do the same. I suspect many of them already have. These people would have so much guilt over having created a child if they did so. Procreation is worse than grand theft (for obvious reasons, losing $100k probably doens't hurt as much as life), and many of them consider procreation worse than murder. | /r/MensRights | 31/01/20 12:31 AM |

That's entirely against human rights as a whole. No, you see, procreation is against human rights as a whole. Forcible sterilization is protecting those rights. | /r/MensRights | 31/01/20 12:26 AM |

| 1 | What exactly are the consequences of 'hypergamy'?Also in a relationship, a person is simultaneously the consumer and the product. People only realistically have relationships with others of comparable attractiveness. This means that it is just as easy for person of average attractiveness to have multiple partners (of similar attractiveness level) as it is for a highly attractive person to do so. This could be the case to an extent if the sexes were interchangeable and supply was more plentiful than I surmise. But the sexes aren't interchangeab… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 30/01/20 10:21 PM |
| 1 | What exactly are the consequences of 'hypergamy'?Supply essentially becomes infinite In this case there may be a difference between supply actually being infinite and merely "satisfactorily large". In the case of the latter what happens in markets is that lower quality goods disappear from the market as they are no longer worth consuming (or producing). This happens with grains for instance IIRC. Same with old electronic devices likes ancient computers. With infinite supply, things become more interesting, but with large supply, in every case … | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 30/01/20 11:11 AM |
| 3 | What exactly are the consequences of 'hypergamy'?Demand for partners is essentially fixed, so eliminating exclusivity functionally increases supply. This is pretty silly. Demand for partners is not fixed, it is made fixed by enforced monogamy. Eliminating exclusivity destroys supply for all but the most attractive. It isn't about "hoarding" women (there's no way to enforce that in a poly society), but rather about consumer choice skewing to the top of the social ladder. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 30/01/20 03:51 AM |

There's a reason that I singled out English and not Philosophy, Psychology, or Music. But those arts should be pursued in University so that they may be pursued after university also. A great many arts majors never had any intention of ever applying their training, a pure bourgeoisie waste. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 29/01/20 09:50 AM |
| 2 | Any feminists whose work you like / find interesting?I don't think she ever self-identified as a feminist.
