In the meantime, I have been doing my homework. One of the things I want them to do is make a supplemental report to the UN about men's issues. I suspect they won't want to do that because it is too much work, so I have been putting together the report myself, so they don't have that excuse. For example, I reviewed all laws with gendered language after 1960. See here: https://www.reddit.com/r/MensRights/comments/1… | /r/MensRights | 19/05/26 09:36 PM |

| 29 | What does feminist actually mean?'Feminism' is made intentionally vague by feminists in order to deflect criticism. But w can look at what the feminist movement does and use that to define feminism.

| 2 | What are some examples where the concept of toxic masculinity is used to condemn men and masculinity in general?Masculinity are the things that we associate with men, not necessarily things that are unique to men. Being a good man is a subset of being a good person. A good man is a good person. The question you should be asking is what is the difference between a good man and a good woman. And that comes down to good use of the differences between men and women. A good man/woman uses those differences for good. | /r/MensRights | 06/02/26 07:06 PM |
| 1 | What are some examples where the concept of toxic masculinity is used to condemn men and masculinity in general?He views manhood as inherently bad, it is based on putting someone down. He can't see anything positive in a masculine identity. That's the misandry. One important distinction we need to make is between a gender identity of manhood that only exists by putting somebody down and a moral identity that is genderless. When someone does the things you mentioned, you could say, “That’s being a good man.” But I would simply say that’s just being a good person. | /r/MensRights | 06/02/26 06:32 PM |

| 1 | A potential response from feminists when the misandry perpetrated by feminists is called outI think this feminist is talking about overt misandry. The problem is that misandry is not always overt. For example : this feminist claims misandrists are a minority in feminism, then implies men are oppressors. The thing that distinguishes 'feminism' from 'women's rights advocacy' is the idea that men oppress women (patriarchy). That's a misandrist idea, and it's fundamental to feminism. | /r/MensRights | 30/07/24 07:36 PM |

It's important to focus on rights, because international human rights law means governments have specific obligations to protect, respect and fulfil human rights.

For example, electric chairs were designed to accommodate men, but not to benefit men. Just because something was design to accommodate men, doesn't mean it benefits men. Also, the implication with the word 'designed' is that there is an intention, but often other things, like market forces, cause the result.

Don't try to change everything all at once. Also, I found it helpful to ask myself 'does this help me achieve my goal' when tempted to find short term relief in something.

| 6 | How to quantify male and female privilege?Anyway, I am writing here to request you all to take up a project which can quantify who is more privileged and who is more disadvantaged, men or women? We should not do this. Taking and incredibly complex dynamic situation and boiling it down to a single variable is not helpful. In fact, I'd argue that oversimplifying complex situations is what propagandists and ideologues do to manipulate people. | /r/MensRights | 13/09/23 08:50 PM |

You may want to point out that feminists are the ones pushing the idea women don’t have agency. For example, denying and minimising female violence, blaming culture for women’s choices eg pay gap and pink tax, hell, even the idea we live in a patriarchy is denying women’s agency.

| 13 | Men are oppressedI don’t think ‘oppression’ is the best way to think about these injustices. The problem with thinking about them as oppression is it makes you think of an oppressor. This limits the way we think about solutions to these problems.

Most evidence suggest traditional masculinity is bad comes from the Conformity to Masculine Norms Inventory (CMNI). The CMNI is a mostly collection of negative stereotypes about men.

We’re about to have a discussion about patriarchy in my college class, and I’d like to know what my best arguments against patriarchy would be, and which arguments would show there are instances which there is bias against men. Thanks!Patriarchy as described by feminists, is a theory developed by women talking to women about women's experiences. To be a good explanation of society, it would have to have included men and men's experiences in it's development. Also, to prove women's oppression, you have to establish that women have it worse than men, not just that bad things happen to women.

| 71 | What do you think is the biggest issue men are facing right now?No one cares about men's issues. Edit: Specifically, there are very few formal mechanisms, organisations, political parties, media outlets, etc that care about men's issues. It's not an easy problem to solve because progress on men's issues requires a lot of parts to work together. there needs to be multiple systems in place to make it happen, but there is very little political will to make it happen. | /r/MensRights | 01/10/22 04:59 AM |

| 3 | What exactly is toxic masculinity?Toxic masculinity is typically defined by feminism as a set of attitudes and ways of behaving stereotypically associated with or expected of men, regarded as having a negative impact on men and on society as a whole. This shows the problem with the term. It's defined by feminism. The whole concept of masculinity within feminism is a problem because it is based on what feminists imagine men to be like, not actually listening to men when they describe what being a man is like. | /r/MensRights | 30/09/22 03:24 AM |

| 6 | What exactly is toxic masculinity?the reason they believe this is because they themselves view power and strength as a masculine trait, Absolutely true. I've been through something like 20 hours of a feminist symposium on masculinity, and they conflate masculinity with power and dominance over and over. Other sources even say that when women abuse their power they are showing masculine characteristics. Feminists seem to be incapable of seeing women's power and insist that only men have power. Crazy. | /r/MensRights | 30/09/22 03:13 AM |
| 1 | What exactly is toxic masculinity?It doesn't really matter what feminists say 'toxic masculinity' is. There's a difference between what people say it means and how people actually use the term. I think the most revealing thing is how people respond to the problem of 'toxic masculinity'. The proposed solution to 'toxic masculinity' is nearly always is re-educating men. Men are supposed to 'unlearn' toxic masculinity. If these are the proposed solutions, then the definition of 'toxic masculinity' must be a problem that men have th… | /r/MensRights | 30/09/22 02:57 AM |

What do you mean by a 'feminist lens'? What is your justification for using a feminist lens? Isn't that like using a Eurocentric lens to understand Africa?

So paternity fraud is partly due to biology making it possible. The empathy gap has deep roots and has probably existed for as long as humans. The problem with feminism is that the movement prevents us from having honest discussion and making progress on men's issues whatever the source. | /r/MensRights | 21/09/22 10:02 AM |

The same thing is true for a women' rights advocate. To be a feminist, you need to believe feminist ideas, and associate with other people who share those ideas.

Misandry is prejudicial negative attitudes about men. Misandry and misogyny are linked. A prejudice against women, requires an opposite prejudice against men.
