5	" It was hard to come to terms with the fact that I was bringing yet another white man into the world. " That's just unbelievable, talk about cultivating a sense of carelessness and lack of self-awareness. From the white supermodel that uses her body to make money. I've known far too many white women who move through the world unaware of their privilege, and I've been traumatized by many of my experiences with them.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	28/10/20 11:36 PM
18	"Women supporting women" I think once you remove the specific terms, that pretty much lays out the operational dogma of most social justice organizations today. I remember the first week of college, attending an event for a school program for latinos and minorities in STEM. The keynote speech was about how as minorities, we are disadvantaged no matter what our experience is. That professors, other students, future employers are judging us by the color of our skin. That wherever we were, whatever we were studying was bec…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	27/07/20 09:59 PM
3	Tradional masculinity is exactly what is attractive to women and I feel so dumb because of it. I understand the pain you feel, you feel you did everything you could and you still lost. Try not be bitter about it. If that's what she did, that doesn't necessarily mean that's what's women do. Everybody has baggage, everybody is gambling when they date, don't let the hurt she put you through be what defines your perspective. It'll help you more to let it go than it will help anybody else, because the world just isn't that black and white.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	21/07/20 03:27 PM
15	The erasure of men from the left. As a gay man, I fail to see how any of the current LGBT+ movement helps men, even gay men. Growing up, I always observed the worst, and most persistent homophobia came from women, not men and the idea that they're SJW doesn't change a thing. Look at Stonewall, a huge issue for gay men and lesbian women; it erupted because that community didn't want police or the mafia involved in their bars/scene, it put gay men in particular at a high risk of being arrested and abused. This past year on the ann…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	18/07/20 02:23 PM
4	A misandrist ad for Virginia Slims cigarettes. Thoughts? Pretty sure they didn't say "always and only," they described a general group behavior. Also didn't say that women never self depreciate, just that men tend to self-depcreciate due to that trend. The idea that women self-deprecate "usually for male validation" doesn't make male deprecation any less bitter or less real. And if it were fact that they're doing it for "male validation," does that make it the fault of the men they are trying to get validation from? His point was that men and women ha…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	09/07/20 07:10 PM
6	My opinion on toxic masculinity and the need for a better, more productive term I completely agree. In addition, I don't think we need a better term than just "masculinity," the big problem surrounding that word is defining it and recently it has only been defined by bad qualities. The only time it is defined in a good light is if it is a benefit to society, regardless of the individuals. Mainstream discussion surrounding femininity focuses on the benefit to the individual and by extension society, whereas masculinity is discussed in terms of utility or cost to society, it …	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	08/07/20 10:18 PM
1	Critique of and an attempt at reconciling the paradox of hypergamy and women's self-reported anecdotal negative lived experiences with men Correct me if I'm wrong, but you asserted that women only go for powerful men because they're socially conditioned to, while MMDT pointed out that a lot of animals display this same kind of behavior in some form, and we are animals as well. That it is partly based in instinct. Your only rebuttle was that society changes super fast. MMDT's point was pretty clear, as was yours, but you don't offer any support for your point, only that gender roles are bad and they will fade. Not saying you're wron…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	28/06/20 03:39 PM
6	Let's take a step back and appreciate fathers instead of getting upset over the haters I really appreciate my dad. Growing up, he spent a lot of time working, and constantly stressed. I was going through my own problems growing up, and we often clashed. I always thought about how I wanted to leave and never visit, how I would be free not having to live under him. It wasn't until about a year or so after I left for college that I realized my dad is my best friend. All that time growing up, that it felt like he didn't want to spend time with us, or he was pissed around us, it was be…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	21/06/20 05:39 PM

I agree - wealth inequality is worse than it has been any other time is human history. Oh - you mean one-sided gender "equality" I'm struggling to find it right now, but an article linked on r/philosphy discussed how philanthropy is fundamentally flawed, because the causes the ultra-wealthy throw minute fractions of their wealth at are fighting the conditions that made their mass accumulation of wealth possible. They are donating money into the system, but they continuously pull 10-fold from the system. In addition, these foundations rarely target the core issue e.g. treating wealth inequality as a purely gendered issue	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	18/06/20 05:09 AM
20	A new proposal will give women free screening and coverage for anxiety under the American ACA. Men will be excluded It's not even that men are excluded because they are less likely to need it, it's that men exhibit anxiety different than women. Look at the crazy stressful and dangerous jobs men have worked over history, plenty of them have had anxiety, but it looked different. Men typically present with anger, alcoholism, depression, and irritability under anxiety. In men, anxiety isn't addressed, because these symptoms are treated as symptoms of being a man. It doesn't make those behaviors acceptable, but th…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	12/06/20 04:54 AM
3	Idea: Experiment or study to find out who is to blame for creating male gender roles, how do you think it can be done and who would be interested in carrying it out? I've talked about it in this sub before, but growing up as a gay guy, it was always girls ridicule I feared, not boys. There were boys who made fun of me for my sexuality, a supposedly close friend even publicly declared "I wish they[gays] were all dead." But the boys were harmless, if we didn't agree, we didn't interact. It girls who were relentless, and persistent with their insults and public humiliation. The same happened to girls who might have identified as lesbians. I feel like a lot of p…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	08/06/20 11:57 PM
13	How the self-fulfilling prophecy of male feminism works What do you think about identity politics involvement with this sort of phenomenon? There is a lot of demonizing of men by mainstream feminism, but more broadly among the democratic party and the left, identity politics and insectonality have been their MO. In that framework, men are a non-entity, a lot either find some way to conform to that or find a group that support their self-interest rather than treating it as the problem.

13	How the self-fulfilling prophecy of male feminism works Personally, I'd look at them more as companies. The causes they support, the fandoms they associate with, the brands they wear, all play into their PR and their success. Not that all celebrities are complete shills or that they can't do anything meaningful, certainly the further up you look the more you'll find, but so much of what they do in the public eye are career moves, not necessarily representative of their character. They're actors after all. Especially with social media now, their perso…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	08/06/20 10:56 PM

2	"My dad knows my mom needs to loosen the reins on me but he knows there’s nothing he can do so he doesn’t try" - a female friend I believe it is critical that we acknowledge the influence women have in society, we still act like women do not have the right to vote, but they've had the right to vote for a while now and hold responsibility alongside men for a lot of things happening in the world. Even before the right to vote, women still had social influence and they still hold that social influence today, if not greater.

There could be discussion, you could post facts, you could ask OP specifically about his views and discuss the discrepancies between his and yours. The only thing you've done here is state that YOU are not willing to participate in discussion, especially since you were the first comment on this thread.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	30/05/20 02:01 PM
1	State of the sub. I agree, I think this sub has a lot of potential, but we need some organization with regards to what sort of post go up, and we need have so more constructive discussion regarding the issues we face. A lot of male oriented subs get categorized as right-wing, but we get some unique hate because we are not right-wing, but the idea of supporting male issues, or criticizing feminism, seems pretty foreign to the left. I understand the emotion behind some of those rage posts, but that sort of behavior…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	28/05/20 12:40 AM
2	Discussion about schools killing SAT No, the article states that within the SAT there are sections that favor men, and some that favor women. Favor in this instance isn't to mean that these questions are intentionally set up to be easier for men or women, just that men or women may disproportionately score higher than the opposite sex on certain types of questions or subjects in general, based on the testing data collected by the SAT. What this article does is accuse the writers of the SAT of intentionally create a test that favors…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	27/05/20 06:30 PM

It's hard to quantify the sort of experience it induces, depending on the conditions it is done in, the type of procedure, and the skill of the person doing it. The main difference is one is way more widely practiced across the world, while the other is practiced in a geographic areas that overlaps with the most heavily affected of the opposite gender.

Gender norms, society is a much more complex web of interactions than 'men control everything, men hold the entirety of the blame.'

13	Some balance to how we look at history Wow. Great discussion skills. I believe they are talking about gender norms rather than laws. Gender norms have always dictated what type of work each gender does. Women tend to have lower-risk jobs, due to their role in childbirth.

Look at breast cancer awareness, it's not bad that people support it by any means, but every year businesses release and sell products they changed pink and they rake in a ton of money. Some of that is going to charity, but thousands of businesses pad their annual profits during breast cancer awareness, they're just able to encourage looser spending when it's "for a good cause."

3	Aren't you all tired of the obsession to put women in stem The goal will always change. Feminism tries to paint itself like a movement by individuals; it is not a corporation, it's not an institution, it's by individuals so you can trust it. But those individuals, decades ago, built institutions, and those institutions created careers, and those careers create fields of education and training, and those fields create more jobs.

In other words, that "16%" is the difference of two independent numbers.

11	Creating new vocabulary thrashing on men to "empower" women. Sorry to say this, but are they sure that men are the fragile sex? Feminism never would have succeeded if society truly hated women the way, or to the extent, they claim. Women are a part of society, it's pretty insane to think so many things in our society, especially in the social sphere, are oppressive to women when women are at least half of society. Not to mention women in most western civilizations have more social influence than men. Feminism doesn't "empower" women, it removes agency from women and empowers those who removed it.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	05/03/20 11:54 PM

The school system shift in pushing girls to succeed has also increased the drugging of boys.

Trying to define it as "all inclusive" just lowers the bar across the board and eliminates that personal liberty to choose what kind of man you are, to learn from your experiences.

But what is the injustice if they have to continue working like men, earning money and contributing to their pension? The argument that all women paid in so all women should get a payout is invalid. They will still get their money, just …	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	24/11/19 04:36 PM
1	Feedback Sticky: Thoughts on "low effort posts" I feel that low effort posts tend to be more inflammatory ones, I'd favor taking those down. Seems like they're posted out of anger than rather than reasoning and real justification. You need to explain what you saw rather than linking to a provocative article.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	22/11/19 12:11 AM
3	Difference in the way feminists talk about pressure and advantage Definitely a flawed strategy, but as certain politicians have shown over the last few years, even a flawed strategy works in a race to the top if you have an audience willing to ignore facts. When a women complains about being held back or restricted by the "patriarchy," but if a man tries to explain how being male isn't all rose-tinted, or how other men shit on men, then it either doesn't exist or "we asked for this. I think it is hilarious how similar feminism is to Trump's administration, not…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	29/10/19 11:41 PM
5	Difference in the way feminists talk about pressure and advantage Literally anybody, you do it, I do it, groups do it, individuals do. Let me break it down for you. People use words Words have meaning Many words have the same meaning, with different connotations You choose specific words for specific connotations Many groups, from activists to marketing departments, are aware of this They use words and double-standards to convey their message over that of their competitor/general antagonist Some claims may be true, some may be false, or everywhere in between, …	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	29/10/19 09:27 PM
10	Difference in the way feminists talk about pressure and advantage Dude, take it easy. You're simplifying things down to "better/worse off." All this thread is illustrating is that groups choose their language to reflect the best of them, and when they're against another group, they will reflect the worst of the other group. You're making some leaps.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	29/10/19 08:44 PM
7	Difference in the way feminists talk about pressure and advantage I agree, it's the way "mansplaining" was a hot topic for a while. It's just being condescending, it isn't specific to men, it's condescension and women can do it too. Language is a powerful thing, the words you use and hear greatly influence the way you think.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	29/10/19 08:36 PM
1	U.S. Soccer says the women’s national team gets paid more than the men’s team Both sides in a deal usually have some sort of input, negotiations are like poker and both sides are trying to run off with the pot. Plenty of psychological science has shown women to take the safer bet, while men will make bigger risks for bigger rewards. I'd believe it if both men and women thought they chose the better deal until they heard the other. Still one side isn't suing over making less.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	24/10/19 12:53 AM
1	A question of pessimism. I like what Aaod says in reply to another comment; A lot of enlightenment think came from male thinkers, much of which benefited women and laid the ground work for feminism, women's rights, and human rights in general. I don't think men are responsible for women's rights, but the feminist movement acts like all men currently, and always have, made a coordinated effort to stifle women. It is not a gender issue, it is a corruption issue. Equality is about equality with all 100%, not just with the …	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	24/10/19 12:38 AM
1	U.S. Soccer says the women’s national team gets paid more than the men’s team What I'm confused about though is... say I and another person are starting equivalent positions at a company, both going into separate salary negotiations. If I were to just take their first offer, whereas the other person negotiated a higher pay rate or some additional benefits, I'd be a chump, but that'd be on me right? So if both teams went into separate private negotiation and accepted different offers, what is the legal basis for suing over that? Is that even how those deals work? Either wa…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	24/10/19 12:25 AM
5	A question of pessimism. I think the problem is that you are looking at the problem from the start as men only produce bad and women only produce good. If you want to assume that men are responsible for the shape of society, then that includes the good and the bad. That's a conflict. If you take the other, that men are responsible for bad, and women for good, that conflicts with the narrative that women have been oppressed and powerless for nearly all of history. In truth, there have been good men with influence and bad…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	22/10/19 05:26 PM
1	U.S. Soccer says the women’s national team gets paid more than the men’s team Can somebody explain why there is a lawsuit if the pay structures are a result of separate collective bargaining agreements?

4	How Woke Became a Weapon I think it's wrong to call shame an epidemic, but the whole "woke" online shame is definitely an issue. Shame can be a useful tool in a culture, but when you're not interacting face to face, or you're doing it as some competition, you can't gain anything but a self-absorbed sense of satisfaction. Shame is a huge part of Catholicism, but publicly deriding and humiliating a person is not. At least when it's in person you feel the shame to tell the person privately or be constructive, rather than a…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	17/10/19 01:19 AM
12	'Shy and awkward' student, 19, faces jail after sex assault conviction I love: " We can think of no motivation for you to touch the victim other than sexual. " That is some gross logic. Can I sue for every time a girls touched me to show interest and made me uncomfortable? Can I assume that I had I not pulled away, they would have grabbed my crotch? No, because that's not the kind of system we live in. Feminist propaganda hurts men and makes women weak. It treats innocent boys as if they were truly monstrous men, simply because both have a dick. Then women are taug…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	10/10/19 11:24 PM
3	So what does everybody here think of the current controversy over the joker movie? Look at the schools. Boys have consistently been falling behind girls in school, mostly do to changes that were implemented to help "level the playing field," studies have shown that it has helped girls in school, but they still fall behind in real world work. The trend views boys confidence as the issue here. The issue isn't the fact that girls and boys are different and learn in different ways, it isn't that girls aren't taught that same confidence growing up. Hell, it isn't even an issue of s…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	02/10/19 08:27 PM
2	So what does everybody here think of the current controversy over the joker movie? More upvotes to this. If there was any want for real equality, there would be femininity and masculinity, not just feminism and toxic masculinity. Can you imagine the outcry if any male group exclaimed the same reassurances feminist do. There would be riots if men started "embracing their inner god" but as long as what's inside you isn't male you can say anything you want.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	02/10/19 08:12 PM

But in all seriousness, straight relationships are terribly one side. There's a lot of talk about how relationships are not transactions and expectations are what ruins a relationship, but I feel that generally the side that tends to argue that, also tends to benefit. Men and women, are just very different in general. On an individual basis we may share a lot, we're all still human, but those differen…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	02/10/19 07:13 PM
1	"A false dichotomy, also known as either/or reasoning, is the artificial reduction of all the choices available in a discussion to two... Of course, reality is rarely so simple. Instead of an artificial binary choice favoring an ideology, life offers a diverse landscape of choices and consequences." It's a teams thing. They want to act like they've transcended competition and sides, but their whole platform is very "us vs them." I used to argue that it feminism was a great example of sexism, because why would a movement that cares so much about equality, go by a gendered term, but I would just be called mysoginistic for saying anything. Feminism is about advocating for women in every space, I'm not saying anybody can't, but you can't be feminist and claim you only care about equality.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	30/09/19 04:24 PM

Instead of an artificial binary choice favoring an ideology, life offers a diverse landscape of choices and consequences." I agree with it for the most part, but I feel like the second half is saying, lets change the norm meaning for words so we define what we want by words that state the status quo. (I don't thinks that's necessarily what she means, but there's a vagueness) But I get what you mean. Feminist should not just be a glorifilying title. Another commentor said social justice types are often just bigots on the "right" side of history, and I entirely agree.
