1	The "Alone At Night" Argument Men are nearly three times (fig 1) more likely to be the victims of violent crime by a stranger. I bite my tongue every time a woman I know talks about the dangers of being their sex because I'd like to not fight with them about it, but it's so exhausting having to pretend and nod along when understanding why women are more scared than they should be is literally the subject of study in a subfield of sociology.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	27/03/24 03:15 PM
2	'Trickle-down' feminism This is a great term. I'm going to use it next time I'm faced with that kind of argument. Then there's the other common argument, "but we live in a patriarchy, so it's up to men to fix men's issues." Oh, cool, I'll get men to do better the next time a woman mistreats me.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	06/09/23 09:58 PM

1	Google is training AI to discriminate against men I haven't looked at the data, but this isn't necessarily entirely a bad idea or discriminatory. If the features given to the model include sex or some proxy for sex (e.g. occupation as a categorical variable), then it's either picking up a bias in society (e.g. correlations with the potential for promotions and raises if the data has "likelihood of repaying the loan" as the target) or a bias in the data (e.g. the target is who historically was given a loan). The former is a little more grey, I s…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	21/08/23 05:16 PM
7	Google is training AI to discriminate against men If the additional demographic data improves the model, it's either picking up a bias in society (e.g. correlations with the potential for promotions and raises if the data has "likelihood of repaying the loan" as the target) or a bias in the data (e.g. the target is who historically was given a loan). The former is a little more grey, I suppose, but the latter is a pretty clear cut case that the model isn't actually performing better if it has a higher test metric.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	21/08/23 05:13 PM
20	What's up with Feminists claiming that women are mostly unfazed by muscular men? This is fundamentally my issue with all identity politics: inter-demographic variance is almost always less significant than intra-demographic variance.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	19/08/23 04:43 AM
7	Something I want to ask and I could be an ass for asking this. What is with the left's disdain of agency in dating and relationships?? Basically this. It's exhausting to constantly hear this narrative without any reflection.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	26/05/23 06:42 PM
3	Why is it so hard to discuss men's issues in left spaces? Mainstream leftism is just right wing ideology that just wishes different demographics occupied more seats in the oligarchy.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	21/03/23 03:06 AM
16	Help me understand rhetoric surrounding men emotionally "opening up" This language isn't unique to men, but they absolutely do preferentially direct towards them. I can guarantee you the person who called that "trauma dumping" is Gen Z or a young millennial, and a specific subset that likes to leverage real issues that don't apply to them personally, but apply more broadly to their demographic, to further bolster themselves. For some fucking reason, that generation has malappropriated numerous words and are committing a clear case of the redefinition fallacy. Exa…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	21/07/22 12:52 PM
