The gynocracy argument is usually coming from a reactionary position, but holy shit I can see why it’s getting more and more popular

Keep it tied to capitalism so it doesn’t become an oppression Olympics. Otherwise it’ll just become like feminists blaming the patriarchy for issues of inequality

This is good, but you need that marxist analysis. A lot of feminism and men's rights won't go anywhere because even if everyone goes to a seminar about how men are overworked and underappreciated, it won't matter cuz they still gotta pay that crazy high rent. So yeah, I appreciate you, but make sure you work overtime this week! Don't mean to be annoying, but we gotta remember what angle this sub is going for when looking at this subject

Actually pretty good response, ngl. But then I realized it was written in 2014, before it became really cool to shit on men, and it's not a huge website. Unfortunately the times have passed and most advice stuff won't look like this. Instead, it'll be the social-cultural version of "pull yourself up by your bootstraps!" which this response kinda has. This is why the manosphere has been really blowing up. Advice to get not just sex, but any sort of meaningful connection, is met with "you're not o…

Didn't finish it, but I remember it being a solid read. The main problem is that it ignores the very real power women have in the verbal realm, as exemplified by the central conceit. However, as I pointed out in another comment, perhaps that omission is part of their "argument." Similar to how emasculated men, even those who may demonize their own masculinity, eventually show their true male selves when they get aggressive during an argument. I'm of the belief of two things: the whole marxist be…

You’re questioning why a woman writer didn’t include women’s ability to persuade in a book that’s essentially arguing that men have all the power. Connect the dots lol 😭 As Warren Farrell once said, “men’s greatest weakness is their facade of strength and women’s greatest strength is their facade of weakness.”

Sperm is cheap and eggs are expensive. And that’s mixed with late stage capitalism ramping up and everyone feeling alienated and unhappy. Less pay for more work, no job prospects, student debt, lack of a viable future, etc. Deadly combo The sooner you realize this, the better off you’ll be. But on the bright side, I’ve noticed leftist women who actually take class into account are more empathetic to these concerns because it’s likely that their fathers or brothers are/were working class. Just do…

No to the first question. Of course attraction hierarchy will exist. And frankly even just personality lol Yes to the second. But it’s not a “women are brainwashed cuz emotions” thing, it’s more of a “we are ALL brainwashed by capitalism/neoliberalism.” In our current system, people are getting more and more isolated. Working longer hours for less pay, seeing their friends less, not having kids, no purposeful work, etc. In terms of women being extremely selective with their partners, there’s muc…

Sanders by far. Before we’re men, we’re people with needs such as housing and healthcare and jobs, etc. He has the most comprehensive plan and is explicitly anti capitalist
/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates04/02/20 11:51 PM

Marxism/anti capitalism/ socialism, whatever you wanna call it, is the only way forward. We also need to recognize the complex dance between men and women. A lot of lefty stuff is great. (Tho the more liberal stuff tends to be less Marxist and more male shaming.) And a lot of male directed spaces tend to go from “wahh feminism” to “therefore we need enforced monogamy.” Almost no understanding of anything beyond hypergamy. I find the former tends to scratch most of the itch, esp in recent times a…

Na the Bernie campaign is helping stem the tide against the anti male shit. Besides, don’t confuse the left with liberals. And if everyone gets healthcare and no college debt and public housing etc, most of these gender culture wars will disappear
/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates04/02/20 11:25 PM

Single gender spaces are important and it’s even more urgent to highlight the positives of male spaces since they’re becoming close to non-existent. When men gather together, they (At least have the potential to) forge their masculinity. So then once they go back to the world of women, they’re more “charged up” and attractive to them, i.e. increased polarity. You’ll notice that men act different when women are around, esp when they’re younger and more likely to put women on a pedestal. If they’r…

Amazing article. For the longest time, you would only see MRA/reactionary dudes talk about this and take it in some trad con direction. But it’s awesome to read the same complaints properly contextualized and with a course of action that doesn’t involve male shaming. Also, the point about modern feminist discourse the same as church is right on the money. Nobody likes empty platitudes “do better!/pray!” With a side of deep shame

It doesn’t start with hypergamy, whatever your belief of it is. It starts with capitalism. And as inequality and neoliberalism spreads, the worst tendencies of both sexes blossom. The solution is anti capitalist, not anti hypergamy or whatever a lot of these “apolitical” manosphere dudes/ tradcons preach
/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates29/01/20 08:42 PM

Both sexes have their own challenges to be attractive. But the monkey wrench is the digitization of everything and the smartphone era. Dudes are pretty much trained since birth to be in awe of women, but women don’t wanna be with a man who’s drooling over her and can’t contain himself, so hence the whole “where are all the real men at?” Obv includes other influences such as feminization of education, the spreading of the belief in the genders being identical, etc.

It’s an alright article with good intentions. The main thing I would press him on is asking what a boy REALLY is. He has a claim to know some universal knowledge, his proverbial red pill if you will, so I wish he would explain more. Cuz it’s a huge claim lmao The reason he needs to make this explicit is because this can easily turn against boys. Anybody can just say “oh well I care about boys” but that can easily lead into something silly like “so I’m gonna make sure they never play sports becau…

Yeah maybe but I think it’s more rhetoric. And at most, it just supports the core ideology of capitalism, empire, fascism, etc. But the core are those ideologies and unequal spread of power/wealth

Also cuz a lot of them don’t have any understanding of capitalism. They realize shits fucked up, but they don’t have the macro perspective so they just blame someone. Kinda similar to a lot of working class people blame immigrants

Trans people are allies for sure. This sounds objectifying as hell, but their very existence only proves that there’s SOMETHING to the gender binary, which I believe that there is. And this is the very reason TERFs exist. If anything, if you truly believe there’s no differences between men and women, then of course you should see Trans people as “sexist.” Trans people are also some of the best “referees” in the gender wars. Most men and women go through their whole life just being men or women. …

You guys should read the book. It’s a lot less triumphant in tone compared to the article and esp how a lot of guys make it out to be. But yeah I don’t know if I’ve ever seen more animosity between the sexes lmao a big part is social media and smartphones. People are on their phones more -> they’re more anxious because being on digital tech 24/7 isn’t conducive for developing grit -> they then see the language of social justice/gender dynamics -> misapply broad concepts for their own neuroses, e…

The reason most people, both men and women, have most issues today is because of capitalism. And also urbanization to a certain extent. I can’t emphasize enough how much capitalism infects our society. Read Capitalist Realism by Mark Fisher. Read Marx or at least Marxist economists. Feminists go on and on about patriarchy, toxic masculinity, mansplaining, etc is because they know they have a problem, but they don’t have the language for it. Same for men who think gynocracy is the root of all pro…

People that fight for male issues tend to be very right wing. They read one evo psych article about how hierarchies can be good for people to aspire to, so then they’re like, “actually, extreme inequality isn’t so bad!” People that are left wing tend to believe that gender differences are just societal and that male issues are related to patriarchy. It’s plagued with a toxic relationship to the masculine and just absolutely no understand of the dynamics between masculinity and femininity. Most p…

In other good news, some Democrats (an actual LEFTIST at that), are waking up to this reality. Check out this tweet by Rep. Lee Carter of Virginia. https://mobile.twitter.com/carterforva/status/1196471510199885828 Great step forward. We need to take these talking points away from the reactionaries.

Make sure to keep capitalism into account. Private prisons exist. The more prisoners and the longer they stay, the more money some people make. A lot of manosphere dudes just look at sentencing gaps and think, “see! Feminism! Male disposability!” Of course there are other factors, and male disposability absolutely makes the gap seem more “ok” to most people, but don’t forget the elephant in the room

Men’s liberation can def happen, but it’s never going to be a “men’s lib” movement. It sounds weird to everyone. Men will look at them as pussies and women will look at them as betas. It has to be a part of a broader socialist movement. Releasing people (mostly men) from jails, Green New Deal for millions of blue collar workers (mostly men), making teaching a viable career path by increasing pay (thereby increasing rate of male teachers which will help male students who feel suffocated in a over…

Yeah def. We’re probably the most alienated and alone that we’ve ever been as a species. People are “connected,” but likes on an IG post aren’t genuine communication. And this ties to capitalism along with, of course, technology making easier to not see people IRL

Yeah, I get you. But the thing is that a lot stuff that makes you okay with yourself is also what makes you attractive to women. So I was only thinking of the former when I wrote that sentence. Cuz if someone thinks that single men are “attacked”? Then yeah, they got some stuff to work on

Good angle. We should still have universal childcare, but only as a part of a broader socialist agenda. Yeah this is why you need to vote Bernie over Warren. You can tell Warren still has this romanticism over capitalism, hence her vocal support for universal childcare. “Because, well, of course both parents will be working full time and never have time for their children!”

There’s a lot more at play, esp capitalism, but nice read. I appreciated the criticism of the “toxic masculinity” slur being casually thrown around. I’ve noticed it’s very convenient for people that don’t wanna acknowledge how neoliberalism has affected our lives. Which is probably also a reason why it’s super common to see middle class women use that term
/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates20/11/19 09:17 PM

Yeah I’m super grateful for this space. It’s refreshing to talk about these issues in a way that bypasses the reactionary tendencies of the right, which only enforce capitalism and other shadow characteristics, and the self-shame tendencies of the “left,” where it seems like being a heterosexual male is the new Original Sin.

Read Iron John. And while you’re at it, some David Deida and The Boy Crisis. If a boy doesn’t have a way to be masculine in a health way, his natural energy will get perverted and then you have that “toxic” stuff. That’s why dads and male only groups are important. Boys learn how to be men by looking at men. No exceptions. Plus read Jacobin because it’s tied to our economic climate as well. And also check out I-Gen. kids growing up with smartphones has done a lot of good, but also a lot of bad. …

Dang what a surprise, when masculinity is seen as a disease, people start to view boys’ natural tendencies as sick. Who woulda thunk? Btw for any man reading this who’s interested in education, DO IT! Doesn’t even have to be a full teacher. Something like a tutor goes a long way

It was bougie media writers getting uncomfortable at some good ol populism. But of course they can’t say that “the poors are being too loud and angry” so instead they say “Um, uh, he’s white and a MAN.” And for the white dudes who thing that these sorts of writers look ONLY down on white dudes, that’s just what they say explicitly.

You’re not wrong. Tho still, that’s more of an application problem than an inherent problem with the concept itself.

To be clear: Bernie all the way and it's not even close. With that being said, I like that Yang is talking about this, but I hate that he's the only one talking about it.

Eh I think the main problem is how people talk about it. Neoliberalism makes everyone, including well meaning liberals, obsessed with the individual. It's not meant to be applied to a single person or situations, but rather extremely broad societal trends that undoubtedly do go in certain directions.
