You are literally trying to share the responsibility of suppressing “natural sexual impulses” with the women by asking them to allow others to police their bodies (clothes).

But they have natural impulses to rape?

Thank you for taking your time to shed even more light unto this. It's strange because I do understand these points and know these situations happen. So it's a cognitive struggle because I do mostly believe many men are suffering from this. But also I can't divorce my views from my personal context. I'm sensing most here are from the United States? My experience from the rest of the world has some important differences: I do believe there are just as many women at the bottom as there are men, bu…

I'm sure it's the same thing for some of them. But it's not the same thing at all. From the moment a man decides to not participate within those dynamics it's proof enough they are not intrinsically interconnected.

Just read it. I understand and agree with many points; particularly I understand the need to tackle these issues from the male perspective as its indeed quite rare. But I'm afraid I disagree with what I believe it's the core part of the statement: I do believe we are a privileged class and that these issues are side effects of our own system. I'm sorry for making you work extra with this thread. I truly approached this sub trying to understand. Outside of that combo where you deleted one of my c…

Feminism points at the patriarchal system. That's even their core idea.

I'm just not sure what the 'undoing' means. I don't think people at the top having or not having a penis influences their policy whatsoever. Systemic sexism does exist as is informed mainly but the cultural appreciations about sex and gender. People with political and material power are part of this system too.

I understand your take but I do need to clarify something: I didn't let feminists to dictate my masculinity. My masculinity was the product of seeing the men in my family utterly destroying the women in it and later destroy themselves with their inability to handle their own issues in a healthy way. So as I child I observed those men and built myself as their polar opposite. I'm talking 80s and early 90s here. Way before the current wave of feminism. Growing up, it was just a coincidence that my…

As I said. Those preferences exist, but are they the sole cause of precarious manhood?

Read the link. Very interesting numbers, some of them very saddening. Unfortunately, the author seems to do little with them other than make a couple of speculative comments. It would be very interesting to shed some light into why these numbers are happening instead of just missing the point of who imemented them and why those social conventions are working like this in the first place. Also, some lines I find suspect but can't talk outside my are of knowledge. I do can say that autism is a gen…

Your reply materializes nicely the idea I'm taking from these replies. Can't argue against your take.

I'm always skeptical about reducing this subject about about preferences. Case in point, I do not feel I'm particularly well looking yet never had any sexual or love issues at all. That always led me to believe there might be another subjacent reason about it.

The other one I can think about is witches vs patriarchy but that sub is very tame. Still, I do believe you.

Am I right to guess that female sub you are talking about is FDS? That sub is scummy as hell.

Let me clarify. I suspect most of our grievances as men are the product of our own idiosyncrasies and undoing yet, somehow, we tend to blame women for pointing out those that affect them the most. I do not understand this logic. Have you seen the Eric Andre meme format about "men are killed and raped too?". Let me take a look at your link. Will reply once finished. Thanks a lot for looking it up for me.

Not at all. I was expecting to read nuanced takes of why I could be wrong.

You are right, dont recognize the source of that phrase. Of course, I don't agree with her nor I have ever hear that phrase discussed like that either, fortunately. The beauty of language is that it can be taken and resignified constantly.

Thanks a lot for looking that for me. Will read it carefully. From the onset, I agree with the title.

Yes, I've seen it. It's a nice phrase, a rhetoric tool of empowerment. I do not feel erased or negated by that phrase. Sorry, but I do feel it's condescending to say I've never been given the tools to dicern language. As I said in the OP and other replies here, I do research semiotics and language as a profession and heavily engage with many local feminist movements. Please, don't mistake my autism with mental capacity. I do believe feminist language is clear about this: when they make incendiar…

Do look at them, you will discover that when you remove heavily flawed feminist studies and use gender neutral definitions you will find that in every single case men are actually the victims far more often. I would like to understand where are you coming from more. So a link to these studies that say men are actually far more victimized by this would be helpful. Particularly from the understanding that in the subject of violence alone men have been the principal recipients, of course. From othe…

Specifically I'm talking about the areas the person I replied to numbered: the jailing/justice system, empathy gap, life expectancy, et al.

Ok, let's say I agree and I honestly do agree with the general strategy you are implying here: how would you explain that I have never felt my masculinity has been attacked by feminism? How would you explain the ones who are questioned and antagonized my masculinity are massively men? What does this says about masculinity? How exclusively pointing the hypocrisy and sexism within some feminist postures (and I agree there are many) helps us more than pointing our own dissonance, hypocrisy and sexi…

I do. I cousel ASD young adults. One of the points I try to press upon the kids I talk to is that they need to keep themselves accountable for their social interactions. Not only to be more mindful but contemplative and self critical instead of blaming external forces that are always more complex than our personal domains, as political as they are.

This is the dangers of lacking nuance: power is not a binary state. Those powerful few were not the only people wielding privilege: Among classes and social stations there always have been particular privileges relative to those contexts. Allow me to point even further how your argument fails to grasp nuance: The issue is that everyone was treated as property. That's generally true but erases the spectrum of particularly treatment. In other words: both men and women suffered, but they did not su…

I would not even be surprised if you never read any theoretical Feminist material either, outside of some homework assignments or something like that. Masters degree in sociology, anthropology and arts. Pre PhD studies in critical semiotics and identity politics. Currently academic researcher heading the social studies department. You are precisely the kind of person who makes me suspect about this community. The kind of man who surely will try to scream at my face I'm a sex traitor. You think y…

I thought I explained enough to assure I'm not merely accusing. After all I did submit myself to all of this. Yet I agree my tone is not always the most appropriate. I'm within the autist spectrum and we tend to be terser, if not denser. My apologies.

This is a very interesting topic. One that could lead to us into a redefinition of agency. First, I understand that's my personal experience. That's why I even admit it's a kind of privilege that I need to acknowledge. As you might imagine —re the subject of precarious manhood, I do not fit the general idea of a masculine man. So I tremendously understand the struggles about constantly defend my identity as a man and even "worst", a cis straight man. Yet, guess what sex and gender have been the …

There ARE significant issues with many feminist discourses, indeed. Are we, as men, providing a sound counter alternative that's not generally antagonistic? To me it's not clear how to constantly point (I'm talking about the little I've read from this sub, not you) to the disagreements with some feminist submovements it's analogue to advocate for masculinity. To me, it would be a lot beneficial to start talking about ourselves.

I thought about it. But didn't felt right to point my finger at specific individuals that might be misrepresentating the communal spirit. My hope was to get some replies examining those very ideas. So far, unfortunately, the replies here are massively supporting them instead.
/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates13/03/22 06:32 PM

I see your point about the label. Myself I use the word the same way I've seen is used here. To me, feminism is inherently intersectional and thus encompass a spectrum of studies, from academic feminists to essentialists and every in between. Many of those are quite toxic and exclusive, indeed. But even within the general feminist ranks those are quite critized.

Feminism itself is radical sexism. This is the only point ill address to because of how asisine it is. And because the rest of your reply it's just internet rhetorics. You have never really read theorical feminism authors, have you?
/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates13/03/22 06:24 PM

Would be impossible because "what feminists says" is inoperative. There's not single minded feminist group so I can't apply the same statement to all of them.

I did said I just found this community and that an hour long skim doesn't paint the full picture. I could very well kept to myself my first general impression instead of looking for a more personal take.

This is another take I like and helps me to understand the general position of this sub. Thanks for this. I do believe some of those areas of male disadvantage you mention are the undoing of a decadent male dominated system. A mix of presuppositions, condescension and misunderstanding. I'd admit I'm lost on your police killings analogy. I've never seen anyone argue male killings by police are indicative of anything beyond that most violent threats are male. There was a great 2019 Forbes study on…

I understand this take and it's the kind of discussion I was expecting from here. Thanks for writing this. I understand and even agree with your takes on the concepts of toxic gender roles. At the very least sheds more light unto the subject. I also don't disagree with your last two statements. There ARE some feminists that take a very radicalized posture against masculinity. My problem lies within generalization.
/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates13/03/22 06:06 PM

Totally. And my take on this antagonism is not for the benefit of the feminists but men. It's never good to spend so much energy focusing on the "enemy" instead on focusing what we are.
/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates13/03/22 06:02 PM

Yes. But it fails to address specific arguments. I do agree that SOME feminist ideas wielded by SOME feminist groups are reductive, aggressive and dismissive. But I'll always object against platitudes and generalizations.

That's a blanket statement and not addressing any specific point. I did say I'm here for nuanced discussion.

Less problematic masculinity? As defined by who, feminists? So, are we disbarring any discourse originated from feminist theory? Ipso facto? I'd do say it's also problematic for us men too. You then go on to list competition. Do you think competition is problematic? Do think a drive to compete is solely a masculine trait? Is it also problematic when women compete? Are they exhibiting problematic femininity in that case? I do think there's a quite nocive and evident level of competition that's ve…

I never understood takes like this. You all seem awfully lapidary and fatalist. I’m NOT good looking, like at all. I can’t even say I’m that charismatic and at most was considered a little mysterious and I fucked around a lot, was with whoever I wanted and finally married a great woman. Only at high school I considered myself unlucky about sex/love. So, to me, this all sounds quite a self fulfilling prophecy at best and incely at worst.

You can kill a man, but you can't kill an idea.
