1	"Nearly 70% of Gaza war dead are women and children" - In reality, it's 44% children, and 26% women. Male deaths are completely ignored, even though by this data men constitute a higher proportion of victims than women. Did you read the wikipedia article? Basically every major Palestinian organization comes up, including civilians. I don't know what was chanted by Israelis in the Netherlands, but if it was racist or hehumanizing, then I oppose it. also, how is me saying Ben Gvir and Smotrich should lose their jobs and be put on trial defending them? The quote by Gallant is "we are fighting human animals", and explicitly clarified "Our war is not with people of Gaza... Our war is against Hamas". The fundamental …	/r/MensRights	10/11/24 09:24 PM
1	"Nearly 70% of Gaza war dead are women and children" - In reality, it's 44% children, and 26% women. Male deaths are completely ignored, even though by this data men constitute a higher proportion of victims than women. First, it was obvious those cabinet members were calling members of Hamas animals and not Palestinians. They have said other things that were genocidal, and for that, they should lose their positions and put on trial. Can you name any Palestinian or Arab equivalent who has done that? Here's an entire Wikipedia page on the dehumanization of jews and Israelis in Palestinian discourse.	/r/MensRights	10/11/24 08:49 PM
2	"Nearly 70% of Gaza war dead are women and children" - In reality, it's 44% children, and 26% women. Male deaths are completely ignored, even though by this data men constitute a higher proportion of victims than women. The reality is that all of history maters, but each day matters more than the day before. So October 7th is more relevant to the present issue than 1948 for the same reason 1948 is more important than 1929. Ultimately the most important day is today and tomorrow. We cannot fix past injustices by inflicting new wounds.	/r/MensRights	09/11/24 07:53 AM

Male deaths are completely ignored, even though by this data men constitute a higher proportion of victims than women. You're right that history didn't begin on October 7th. but it also didn't begin in 1948.	/r/MensRights	09/11/24 01:21 AM
4	How do we measure 'gender equality'? That last slide is something I've thought about for years but never seen written out. Just because a narrative is made from only facts, doesn't mean the narrative is true; selective choice of metrics can paint any picture.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	03/05/23 06:35 AM
3	Being mindful of personal safety, or creating a moral panic around men? Further on that slid, Russian roulette is lethal; so might be more accurate to compare with murder in addition to violent crime for a more accurate comparison.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	20/04/23 10:34 PM
2	Even the chat gpt was trained with this algorithmic gender bias Not intentionally fed biased data. It's an honest representation of the average social bias. It's just mirroring the current state of society (at least what's written online).	/r/MensRights	15/04/23 11:17 AM
-3	Two feminists criticizing small penis jokes on a feminist sub I very much agree with this. MensLib, and LeftWingMaleAdvocates are also generally good.	/r/MensRights	21/12/22 06:54 PM
18	Two feminists criticizing small penis jokes on a feminist sub Every group and movement would benefit from more introspection. Anyone who thinks they're right in every way and everyone else is wrong/bad perpetuates more harm than good. Society as a whole world benefit so much if people spent more time asking how they're wrong and what they can do better rather than just shout at everyone else to change... Trigger warning: this sub can often be very hypocritical and commit the same offences we accuse of others.	/r/MensRights	21/12/22 01:29 PM
10	Was called misogynist at work this week for keeping my door open when alone with girls and women. I will be removing the door all together. The only safe option is a no-door policy. Also, what are the laws on having a security camera on at all times?	/r/MensRights	16/06/22 04:14 AM

25	"If men don't have as many rights as women, then why don't they fight for them" <-- A question asked to me. Below is my response. It's socially more "ok" for women to express their emotions and talk of how they feel, so any shared issues can come to light and can be addressed. In contrast, men are socially conditioned and expected to internalize their emotions and not speak of the issues, so injustices toward men remain in the dark. It's a catch 22, need to talk about issues to address them, but one of the issues is conditioning not to talk about issues.	/r/MensRights	21/05/22 03:25 PM
2	The ugly truths of domestic violence I can definitely appreciate that it's something used to dismiss the reality of violence against men. But imo, if there's any truth to it, it's better to acknowledge it and make sure the argument that violence against men is as significant as violence toward women is sound. I often see criticism of feminists ignoring all facts but those that support their view. As someone who cares about men's rights, I don't want to fall to the same logical fallacies. There is no shame in being as close as possi…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	06/02/22 05:31 AM
1	The ugly truths of domestic violence Yes, written before I saw your context. I agree physical harm is not the only type of violence, but that's what the original post is about. I'm also not making any assumptions on which gender causes more severe injury. Eg, one could reasonably hypothesise that because women are smaller, they may be more likely to use maximum force or weapons, while men use a fraction of strength. All I am saying is that not all physical violence is equal, and should be considered. I think this is true without ma…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	05/02/22 09:03 PM
1	The ugly truths of domestic violence I agree. If you look at my response to another commenter, if we use duration of pain/recovery as the measure of severity, that would account for use of weapons.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	05/02/22 08:54 PM
-4	The ugly truths of domestic violence Great question. How do quantify the "severity" of something that is always 100% wrong. One proxy could be the duration you feel pain. Although this disregards intensity of the pain, I assume more severe pain would last longer. Perhaps you also add a multiplicative factor, where the "cost" of pain increases with time. This would take into account harm to more sensitive regions, and to people more sensitive to physical harm.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	05/02/22 05:16 PM
-7	The ugly truths of domestic violence If we are to take a utilitarian approach (try to minimize harm), then we should also be considering the severity of the attack. All domestic violence is wrong, but is it all equal? What would the stats say if it was framed as risk = probability x severity? For example, The pain from a slap from a strong person would last longer than the pain from a slap from a weaker person (assuming both used maximum effort). (Edit: the above is true if you take gender out of the equation, you can assume a homo…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	05/02/22 04:11 PM
4	For bi and other LGBTQ guys, do you ever feel weirdly tokenized/fetishized by feminism? I think you're generally right. I think though, we're better off sticking to the true definition of concepts so that we can't be disregarded for not understanding what we're critiquing. If we want to critique practiced intersectionality, we should add appropriate qualifiers, such as "woke intersectionality". If we depart from central concepts, I think we risk the conversation tangentially spiraling to a and lose all meaning (perfect example below by /u/im_a_teapot_dude)	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	05/01/22 11:24 PM
15	For bi and other LGBTQ guys, do you ever feel weirdly tokenized/fetishized by feminism? I have no issue with Intersectionality; it just says that different characteristics may interact in non combinatory/cumulative ways. The issue is that it's assumed that there are no significant systemic/societal negative to being a CIS, straight, white, or male; those necessarily only have positives. So those traits can't ever confer interact in a negative way with other traits.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	05/01/22 02:35 PM
2	A test of 'Gendered Issues'. Great idea! We need more of this!	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	14/11/20 08:47 PM
2	The core of the problem. To give credit, the expectation of paying on the first date is* going away. Nearly any date I've been on in the last 6 years, the bill was split (even when I insisted on paying). And the best dates, the girl actually insisted on paying. I've never picked up on a single girl being disappointed about splitting.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	25/10/20 04:07 PM
-3	Presidential debate moderator says women hit hardest by Covid, despite fact that more men have died from it and continue to be at higher risk of death. Random question because I don't know the numbers, but does the perspective/story change if we find out that most female infections arise because of their jobs in service and health care, but men infections arise because of macho arrogance to getting infected? This is more of a thought experiment.	/r/MensRights	24/10/20 01:33 PM
8	Sexism against men does not exist ? The 'power-based' definition of discrimination makes no sense and is a pointless qualifier. Say blues have more wealth than greens and therefore only greens can be oppressed... say we focus on improving things for greens until the gap is 0.0001% - is oppression still only possible against greens? does the direction of oppression switch instantly the second greens earn 0.0001% more than blues? at which point does the direction of oppression switch? the logical conclusion of the power-based defini…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	19/10/20 03:42 AM
5	How does left not understand that hating men will just turn more men to the right? ngl, my heart-rate blows up every time I see I received a response from there. Best way to be hated by everyone is being in the middle; you're on the other side from everyone's perspective...¯\_(ツ)_/¯	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	14/10/20 01:00 AM
7	How does left not understand that hating men will just turn more men to the right? There were definitely comments in there I was very not ok with. and I have issues with the post itself. But I think a post where the first line is "I'm glad men's health is being discussed more often" is a step in the right direction. It often seems like the position is that men are the source of all suffering and experience none themselves. And I think every step away from that extreme is worth celebrating. Like weight loss, 250 pounds is bad, but coming from 255, it's worth celebrating. and th…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	13/10/20 11:42 PM
1	How does left not understand that hating men will just turn more men to the right? Do you have any recommendations of similar female-centred subreddits? /r/feminism tends to have many posts that seem more based on tribal fighting than (though this post was good to see).	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	13/10/20 05:04 PM
11	How does left not understand that hating men will just turn more men to the right? a thought I had: Feminism has been successful with the narrative that some of what they are fighting for is also beneficial for men (there is some truth to this; eg "macho" attitude being bad for men). In the same way, men's issues are also beneficial for women. Eg. I would not be surprised if most assault of women is done by men who have fallen through the cracks of society (eg villainization, neglect by the school system). Paternity leave would make it easier for women to pursue their careers.…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	13/10/20 03:59 AM
2	Hate is the direct result of the patriarchy theory. It's true with regard to political and monetary power. But There are other forms of social power that are not in the hands of men.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	09/10/20 12:13 AM

1	Study finds that women are at an advantage in most countries. ... as determined by the specific metrics chosen. All people face advantages and disadvantages. Could the truth not be somewhere in the middle? This should not be an all-or-nothing dualism of "only one sex faces discrimination while the other has only privileges.".	/r/MensRights	30/09/20 01:43 PM
2	Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Champion Of Gender Equality, Dies At 87 There is a valid argument that diversity is beneficial for productivity. If your company is faced with an issue, do you want two very smart people that think the same, or two people (not both as smart às the former) but with different knowledge/perspectives. I see it as a Venn diagram of ability, where when you're hiring, you don't just want to maximize circle diameter, but also cover a larger area in the context of whom you already have. That said, I think gender or skin colour is a crude proxy…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	19/09/20 12:29 PM
30	'Toxic Masculinity' as a term, is toxic. Ultimately, its issue is linguistic ambiguity. "Toxic" can read as either a defining term of all masculinity (i.e., "masculinity is toxic"). Or it can be a limiting adjective of masculinity (I.e., "the subset of masculine characteristics that are toxic). I always read it as the former. The other issue, is that there's no counterbalancing term for the good/neutral characteristics of masculinity. That is, the only adjective ever used in conjunction with "masculinity" is "toxic". This makes it seem…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	15/09/20 12:34 PM
-1	Feminist guide on how to gaslight men when it comes to expressing men's feelings I agree. One thing I hate the most is rage-bait designed to elicit anger rather than to find positive-actionable solutions. I don't think it's to "discourage positive change" per se, but to strengthen a tribal bond, but yes. This sub does have it (especially comment section), but it's not the world; I don't think it's got worse for "tribalism" than r/Feminism (which I'm also subscribed to). You can check out r/MensLib (which criticises tribalism in men's rights discussion and promotes positivity…	/r/MensRights	08/06/20 12:05 AM
10	Feminist guide on how to gaslight men when it comes to expressing men's feelings "male fragility" may not be the most technically correct term, but men are asked to talk about their feelings more (and thus the issues underlying them), but they are then villainized for talking about "men's issues". The left half of this graphic is basically referring to the general view that "Men's right's" movement is bad/unjustified. damned if you do, damned if you don't.	/r/MensRights	07/06/20 08:12 PM
18	Feminist guide on how to gaslight men when it comes to expressing men's feelings This is something I've been thinking about a lot recently. It seems like men are in a catch-22. It's argued that "the patriarchy" and "toxic masculinity" gender roles say that men should withhold their emotions and be steadfast by all means, which hurts men. Therefore, in combating toxic masculinity, men should speak up about their feelings. However, when men do talk about the root causes underlying their feelings, that often stops fitting the dominant feminist narrative, and men are villainized…	/r/MensRights	07/06/20 07:56 PM
7	If we should say #BlackLivesMatter instead of #AllLivesMatter because black people are getting killed at higher rates, Why isn’t it ok to point out that black men are being killed at higher rates than black women? To add to this, I think that addressing the issues that lead to Black men being killed disproportionately will ultimately lead to fewer White men (and all women) to be killed. eg. things like over-policing of poor neighborhoods, demilitarization, reduced use of excessive force, will help everyone. If we talk about male disposability, I think Black men are at the top of the list in the eyes of society, and helping them would address a huge chunk of male-female gaps (e.g., disproportionate killing…	/r/MensRights	03/06/20 12:44 AM
