Thanks for the heads up on this vid. I watched it. Here's the response I left on it: Hi Jessie. I don't know you, but your video ended up in my feed, and I watched it. I have a background in academically studying wrongful convictions, and have done work with the Innocence Project and other places in the past. Three points came to mind after watching your video: First: In doing the work I did, I learned a lot of the "sick" feelings that people have in these situations can come from the realizatio…

I think it's telling that a lot of *young* men / groups focused on young men are being vocal about this stuff - like a lot of men in this subreddit. This is a wedge to use, time to set it and strike it. How? Here are two techniques, one Personal and one Political: Personal: Send this article to *one friend* or *one text group* that takes you seriously. Tell them you'd like them to read it, and talk about it with them. If they ask why, tell them that boys & men's issues are important to you, and …

Look, you took a swing, and you missed. Twice. I get that your ego is hurt. Lots of anons have problems dealing with vulnerability, with being on a public stage - with engaging in good faith. If you're genuinely invested in what you say you are, I'll be straightforward: The people who are *doing things* will not listen to you, as long as your ego is more important to you than being able to communicate. The offer to help you still stands - if you're willing to tell me who you really are.

darling, that you think what i wrote is 'inaccessible' more speaking towards your ignorance as to what actual academic writing is, than anything i wrote Hi, I'm Ian. I'm a PhD trained researcher in psychology and the law. I specialized in decision making. My work has been published in peer-reviewed journals and cited in American case law. Back when RateMyProfessor was a thing, students gave me high marks for making complex theory accessible to them. I walked in the halls of the Ivory Tower for a…

Happy to respond to this! I'll go through each bullet point, but save the first for last. When talking about who is victimized or marginalized, we as a society don't like talking about men being in that position. So specifically talking about male victimization doesn't get much traction. Broadly agree here! Will also add that part of the reason we don't like talking about men in that position is that we silence the 'man' part of the problem. Men's problems (e.g. homelessness, suicide, etc.) are,…

I think what you're doing is admirable, u/mynuname. I don't see many people asking and engaging a question in multiple places in what seems to be good faith. In that spirit, I will add my two cents: Broadly, I agree with your idea that the "debates" about college degrees vs C-suites, suicide vs. assault, etc are wastes of time. All of those kinds of framings lead into false dichotomies and wasted energy. The problems are all real, individually. I believe that these problems deserve attention and…

That's a hell of a start, though. I get the not having a ton of faith, too - but I also know that talking to people, especially IRL, is like 80% of the battle for betterment - and it makes taking action with others a lot easier

Hey now, let's be fair - before we saw men as domestic threats we told them one of their best uses was to threaten foreign states and actors! We're treating them the same, the targets are just different now.

I can get behind that idea generally, for sure. Seeing men as individuals? Absolutely! But also: taking that path doesn't provide a coherent narrative to build power behind. When the 'right way' of thinking has no power behind it, you get... :: gestures broadly at the US and the world"

At some point (the early 00's?) people stopped understanding the 'self-effacing buffoon man' as caricature, and started projecting more of it into how they saw men's character. Satire is innocuous until political opportunists turn it into propaganda.

I can get behind a lot of what you're saying, here - especially the en masse expungement of the idea of people as individuals from politics I also know that political triage the way it's practiced today means generally speaking to groups, at least in a "everything is national stage" environment. Is what he's saying perfect? No Is it a step? Yes Is the bar incredibly low for progress? Yes Is he a potential ally in our fight? Could be Allies don't have to be perfectly aligned for us to gain power …

Ice cream sales and homicide rates actually have another variable driving them: temperature. When average temperature goes up, so do ice cream sales and the murder rate. If you don’t include temperature in your analysis, you won’t see how *temperature* is what’s driving the real action there. What that could mean in this particular case: The video focused on white men in rural counties. Two of those things are easy anchors to run to when understanding them in opposition to Kamala Harris. But wha…

You created the group for a reason. The haters don't matter. You can be aware of other people's opinions, but those opinions don't need to be considered. They don't need to alter the content or the character of the group. Does it suck? Absolutely. But if you let that taint in - if you get focused on other people's issues - you're letting them steal more time from you and the men in your group. That means less time talking, less time planning fishing trips, less time volunteering, less time helpi…

There's not a uniform celebration, it seems, varying between the US, UK, and others.

Women are equated with VIP, aristocrats, super rich people. This unearned 'higher-than' value is the definition of benevolent sexism All people that others fall upon themselves to protect first and foremost, If by people, you mean all people, yes, but the unspoken part is men should fall first and doesn't cast their capacity to do stuff in question. If I'm reading you right, you're saying that "VIP does not equal incapable". Have I characterized what you're saying correctly? If so: That seems to…

"Women and children first" is both misandrist and misogynist. That it is both is POWERFUL, because it's a point that can be made to build bridges with people who aren't on our side. ***!!!*** If you're talking to someone who is explicitly pro-woman & unaware of or indifferent to men's issues, there's a chance you can build a bridge by discussing the details. Here's how I use it: First: How is it misogynist? It is a long-standing cultural example of benevolent sexism - the idea that women should …

I can understand the sentiment - it *hasn't* been viable to run men's issues. But right now, there's a lot of "where do we go from here" socially and politically. For the next 6 months, it's important to put the message out there - to educate and build up "our team" so that we can put more force behind our vision - behind getting men's needs addressed. If you need examples of people doing the work, I recommend Richard Reeves and the American Institute for Boys and Men I also recommend: 1) Find a…

I don't think that's the smartest play. Subsuming men's issues under the force of a much stronger ideology with *substantial* baggage risks weighing down progress with infighting and gatekeeping. Better to be neighbors than to move in together - at least for the next decade or so.

Here's a link to the moment OP is talking about. I think your characterization of Hank's argument is too narrow, u/ScholarSubstantial36 Hank doesn't specifically call out any men's issues but he calls out *all interest groups* that are claiming "if Harris listened to (us) she would've won." Hank is not buying that (at this time). The argument as he made it would carry the same implication for feminists / unionists / anyone.

it's not a 'too bad' situation - it's a "how do we build up a diversity of male voices" situation. We don't have to agree 100 percent to build a coalition - let's not make the mistake the neoliberal wing of the Democrats did

Step 1: Organize. And that doesn't mean you need like 100 people. It means you need you and one other person. That's how you start. Step 2: Find something the two of you can do locally that supports boys & men It can be volunteering at homeless shelters, with afterschool programs, collecting blankets and warm clothes for winter for boys and men in need. Ideally, you can devote 1-5 hours a week IRL to this. Step 3: Talk to people while you're doing whatever you're doing Whenever you can, find out…

Not true. We can start now - so that we are better able to capitalize in 4 years. Waiting all that time just lets other people have an easier job in 4 years.

Answering your question: because the GOP made a flaccid effort to promote some half-ass aspirational version of masculinity. As it turns out, flaccid and half-ass beat out *no attempt at all*. Adding to your question: 10 to 12 million Democrats* stayed home last night. Most of them were men; they didn't vote. They saw *nobody* who wanted to make their lives better. Million. Men. Had. No. Hope. We can do better. We must do better. *if my math is right; it may not be

We must do what the Democrats and the GOP failed to do: organize here and IRL in ways that include men in a better future. Trump will be *BAD* for anyone who is a man, and especially for left-wing men. We *need* to have spaces and plans that are better, and WE NEED TO SUPPORT EACH OTHER. WE NEED TO SUPPORT THOSE WHO NEED IT IN A SPIRIT OF MUTUAL AID AND RESILIENCE. Arms open, eyes up, backs strong, one step forward at a time.

Nobody has done anything for men - and that's the point. The difference about today vs. 20, 10, even 5 years ago is that there are more and more people like Reeves, TheTinMen, and others who are talking about the issues that we face and *people are starting to listen*. If there is anything I am grateful for from the pandemic, it's that the disparities that impact boys and men the most got accelerated SO MUCH that it's nearly impossible to ignore them. I guarantee if you strike up an IRL conversa…

And if Harris / Walz win - we need to be in Tim Walz & Doug Emhoff's inboxes and offices making the case that men need action NOW. We have been good allies. We will be good allies. But right now?
