85	Dear Feminist Lurkers, I agree with basically everything mainstream feminists believe besides the parts like “prejudice against males doesn’t exist/doesn’t matter/isn’t institutional”. That’s just factually untrue and I think they’ll figure it out at some point but sure is taking a while. Probably having to do with a lack of compassion for half the population	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	09/02/26 06:50 AM
50	Misandry will never be taken seriously because it has a very narrow definition compared to misogyny I always understood misogyny to mean the negative ideas that people have about women, and the unfair effects those ideas cause for many people. I always thought it was a worthwhile pursuit to be on guard against these ideas because we are all conditioned to have them and they do obviously cause some serious harm. Naturally, then, I thought misandry would mean the negative ideas we have about men/males, which we are also conditioned to have and which also cause harm? Noooo. I’ve been screamed at …	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	27/01/26 04:20 PM
16	This is feminism - pushing for forced vasectomies for men. The comments even push for it for 12 year old boys. I’ve seen too many people seriously advocating similar ideas to believe that. Does this sound like satire to you? These are just a few of my ideas. You know, off the top of my head, these interventions sound harsh only because we're not used to restricting men's autonomy the way that we restrict women's. It is high time we start viewing men as potential risks to society that require supervision. The truth is simple and deeply uncomfortable. Our social crises are not caused by women having too mu…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	25/01/26 05:29 PM
19	This is feminism - pushing for forced vasectomies for men. The comments even push for it for 12 year old boys. I found the transcript using youtubetotranscript. I don’t recommend watching the whole video mostly because it’s boring and she spends the majority of it saying nothing new or stimulating, it’s just entry-level feminism. It does get pretty weird towards the end though, so if you want to hear what she wants for society I’d start here. Let's start with reproduction. Mandatory vasectomies at age 18 subject to reversal upon the completion of a criminal background check, financial review, completion …	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	25/01/26 05:10 PM
19	Circumcision classed as possible child abuse in draft CPS document The way people think about penises and foreskin is incredibly misandrist, it’s what led me here in the first place. “It’s gross” - “it’s ugly” - “it’s useless” - “cutting it off is harmless, you’re doing them a favor” The things that people think and openly say about a natural part of the human body are unreal. Imagine people saying this shit about labia minora in the year 2026. When doctors or authorities in America talk about this topic they never associate harm with removing this part of the …	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	13/01/26 11:04 PM
1	The Left Has An Insatiable Desire to Body Shame Short Men Fascinating. So do these top comments qualify to you as misandrist or what: we should stop saying small dick energy we should stop saying small dick energy (again) it’s odd that body shaming men is considered acceptable (some sub-responses go into detail that it is in fact wrong) body shaming men is gross to watch “Gotta stop making jokes about physical features of anyone we don't agree with” “men using the word females pisses me off” body shaming men is hypocritical I guess you didn’t spend muc…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	10/01/26 04:21 AM
1	The Left Has An Insatiable Desire to Body Shame Short Men Did you check out the link I sent? Do you think the misandry in there is worse than it was 5 or 10 years ago?	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	09/01/26 10:19 PM
1	The Left Has An Insatiable Desire to Body Shame Short Men Exhibit A: https://archive.ph/ix0Q1 These comments would not have been popular five years ago. It is the right that is a lost cause for men.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	09/01/26 09:31 PM
5	The Left Has An Insatiable Desire to Body Shame Short Men I don’t think so. I’m seeing a definite shift in queer and woke groups. People are noticing the patterns more and more, talking about them, sometimes even using the infamous m-word, and they’re not being told to stfu so often. I used to be a doomer too but my view of the future on the left is quite optimistic now. If I may make a bold prediction, 10 years from now you will see people in progressive groups openly talking about misogyny and misandry in the same way as if it’s obvious communal know…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	09/01/26 08:46 PM
13	The Left Has An Insatiable Desire to Body Shame Short Men Oh yeah, being against misandrist, public body shaming is “defending nazis”. This comment was totally made in good faith. If Newsom made a misogynistic comment about the WH press secretary’s body would you consider that acceptable? Or are you going to defend nazis? I think you’re likely still completely missing the point and applying your values differently depending on the sex of the people being hurt.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	09/01/26 12:57 PM
20	Vent: I am tired of the widespread normalized hate we are facing as men and being expected to just shrug it off. Are you saying the situation is getting bad enough in other areas that you no longer consider any male issues a priority? My response would be that creating an environment where men/boys feel safe, welcome, heard, and understood in left-leaning groups - convincing them that the left has compassion for them and wants to improve their wellbeing - eliminate bigotry against them and give them equal protection under the law where it doesn’t currently exist - is essential in getting more of them to su…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	08/01/26 05:15 PM
8	I dont view men as "human" You should stop spending time in toxic spaces where people say bigoted things about large groups of people. Many ‘incels’/misogynists feel the same way about women. Of course they do, they spend all their time hanging out with misogynists.	/r/MensRights	20/12/25 10:05 PM
1	the philosophical work and pro male and pro transgender advocacy stuff i do is central to my life and it seems to be going nowhere and is increasingly seeming pointless and i need help. In your view, what is a predominately male issue that doesn’t come off as “an extreme nothing burger”? What would you prefer to lead with? Genital cutting not being taken seriously is far from unique among male issues. (And I don’t think male suicide would fare much better) When it comes to individual activists, I say just let people talk about what they’re passionate about, maybe what’s harmed them personally. Whatever sticks sticks.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	13/08/25 07:37 PM
20	Tom Powell Jr. is a Misandrist If you don’t want to cut your children don’t cut them, if you do want to cut your children then do it. Really insightful stuff, thanks Tom. Yall are really worked up about what other people do. Gee I wonder why. After finishing the video I don’t think it’s right to characterize him as “neutral on circumcision”. He seems pretty firmly opposed to genital autonomy advocacy and the ideal of genital autonomy in general, so pro-status quo.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	13/08/25 01:57 PM
5	Is there anything that makes you feel you have a male/masculine identity? I also identify as a male because I have male parts. That’s about it. I present myself as towards the masculine side of the spectrum because I’ve always done that and it’s easy to do, but I don’t really care about gender at all, and I don’t really feel comfortable calling myself a “man”. Sometimes I “act like a woman” and I’m cool with that. Trying to “be a better man” is something I have no interest in doing. I want to be a better person. I also prefer if I don’t have to deal with lopsided gend…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	12/07/25 03:15 PM
11	Male disposability is a human right, apparently Reintegration? Progressive culture has always been sexist. It’s more unfiltered now, but that seems true of basically anything. We’re talking about a group of people who define themselves as having a strong moral compass - thoughtful and critical of tradition - endeavoring for equality and stronger protections for human rights - and yet, in the same Western societies where these people live and operate, child genital cutting traditions are enacted en masse for decades, affecting mostly males, an…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	24/06/25 03:02 PM
1	How would you say feminist/ misandrist discourse has affected your personal politics? I do not, sadly. English speaker in the US. My initial comment was a little too America-centric, sometimes I forget there are more reasonable parts of the world where perhaps there’s good discussion to be had on both sides. Anyone who hitches themself to the right wing here, as it exists today, would be hard pressed to defend their position in a way I imagine most of us would find reasonable. They’re almost all either evil, unserious, self-absorbed, or want to organize society around a religion.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	04/06/25 01:53 PM
2	How would you say feminist/ misandrist discourse has affected your personal politics? Well, I did say “usually”. I understand not every serious right winger is evil, self-interested, or advocating for a supernatural being. I don’t know of any, but if you have any recommendations for someone I would benefit from listening to (someone active today) I’ll check them out.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	04/06/25 12:44 PM
40	How would you say feminist/ misandrist discourse has affected your personal politics? I have not become more sympathetic to right wing ideas. Any right wing messaging that sounds appealing is usually just a cynical attempt to manipulate people to their side - there’s no real good will behind it. What has changed is I’m now a lot less charitable towards many “progressives”. I’ve realized that many on the left are about as awful, fundamentally, as their conservative counterparts - they participate in left wing politics for personal gain only, or to fit in with the crowd, not for an…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	04/06/25 03:50 AM
18	They are not our allies Yep. They define a pinprick as mutilation, but cutting out the frenulum (a major erogenous zone) for no other reason than “I felt like it” isn’t. It’d be funny if it wasn’t so horrific.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	08/05/25 08:38 PM
108	They are not our allies This reminds me of when I hung out in feminist spaces years ago. When someone would bring up western genital cutting traditions, so many feminists would say things like “it’s not comparable to FGM in the slightest, FGM is actually harmful whereas the male cutting traditions are basically benign, even calling it MGM is problematic because it downplays FGM, it’s incredibly problematic when men try to hijack our platform to talk about circumcision, it’s misogynistic when people use the term female …	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	07/05/25 08:13 PM
15	Question for intactivists about FGM to MGM comparison The female homologue to the foreskin is the clitoral hood, so removal of the foreskin can be directly compared to clitoral hoodectomy, classified as FGM Type Ia. Far less harmful procedures (like pinpricks) are also classified as FGM. We all start as female in the womb. When the developing fetus is exposed to androgens, female organs morph and change shape and the clitoral hood becomes a foreskin, at which point it becomes legal and socially accepted to mutilate it. Fundamentally the same struct…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	01/11/24 10:46 PM
6	Homophobic Misandry? Ok, I think there’s a difference in language here that was tripping me up. I’m not sexually interested in a foot, but at the same time I wouldn’t say I’m repulsed or that I find feet repulsive. They’re just feet, in the same way an elbow is just an elbow. This is the same way my partner has described to me seeing female sex characteristics.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	28/10/24 11:06 AM
9	Homophobic Misandry? I haven’t seen the studies you’re speaking of so I’ll shut up until I have. But you’re saying my gay partner who is only sexually interested in men (to clarify: males), but is not distinctly repulsed by female sex characteristics, is therefore not homosexual but in fact bisexual?	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	28/10/24 10:50 AM
9	Homophobic Misandry? Some puzzling statements here so I feel the need to push back a little… They are also the only sexuality that is repulsed by female sex characteristics. This is not a requirement of homosexuality, many gay men simply aren’t interested rather than being “repulsed”. Homosexual men are the true sexual minority on the planet ??? Our struggles are very specific and they only pertain to us. There are indeed some struggles specific to gay men. Others are shared and you can find some overlap and common …	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	28/10/24 10:35 AM
10	On a leftist subreddit. Feminists claim to care about men, while also saying we commit “a lot of physical and mental violence to women and children” and that we deserve to be treated like shit… What days were those?	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	18/09/24 02:09 PM
18	Why aren't there more bisexual men? The mean age of woman respondents in the Gleason, Vencill, and Sprankle article (where bi men were rated as much less attractive and dateable) was actually 21. Old conservatives and young progressives being somewhat unified on this isn’t really surprising, I think. A toxic view of bisexual/gay men stems from toxic views and expectations of men in general, and mainstream progressive circles have hardly challenged anyone on those core ideas. Some work has been done, but the progressive preference …	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	11/09/24 01:17 PM
25	While Harris is better than Trump, she is no male advocate nor progressive I think there’s much more of an avenue to tackle the genital mutilation issue via Democrats than via Republicans. I care more about that than almost anything else. Republicans closely guard tradition and “parental freedom” and generally just don’t really care about human rights. Democrats are mostly just ignorant. Both sides are misandrist but that’s much more likely to change on the left.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	23/08/24 10:43 PM
64	This is gross. And it feels like it's everywhere now I subscribed to this sub for a short time until the topic of male genital cutting came up and I realized exactly what sort of people I was dealing with... here are a couple of screenshots https://imgur.com/a/QR8VwkE	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	07/08/24 10:07 PM
15	What are people's opinions on TERFs and trans rights in general? Yeah, transmisogyny certainly exists. And not just the direct kind like your beauty standards example, there’s even some truth to the mainstream idea that hatred of trans women stems from misogyny, and that people see trans women as “lowering” themselves by rejecting manhood. But misandry is the larger piece of the puzzle, and most progressives miss it because they simply refuse to look there. Trans women suffer for it, everyone suffers for it. Hopefully the left begins to understand in our life…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	17/07/24 06:46 PM
30	What are people's opinions on TERFs and trans rights in general? You’re right, but misandry (as in anti-male bias) as a source of problems doesn’t play well with the dominant progressive worldview. Men rule the world -> men are the source of problems for both men and women -> men are perpetrators, and women are victims. (It’s worth pointing out here that to most people, including most progressives still, men is basically a synonym for males and women for females). Under this worldview, to claim a group of women is oppressing a group of penis owners on the bas…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	17/07/24 06:03 PM
23	How bad is the current state of academia? "of course the main goal here is women's welfare, but this particular thing hurts women by hurting men so it's ok to talk about it" Hopefully this kind of thing is realpolitik on the part of the authors. If a men’s issue hurts women, the incentive to address it is far greater, and of course it makes it possible/popular to discuss the issue in many circles where it wouldn’t be otherwise. The practical upside to pursuing that angle to male rights greatly outweighs the downside, imo. It’s been my h…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	16/05/24 07:13 PM
