| 3 | Have You Experienced or Witnessed Mistreatment of Men Based on Physical Appearance or Social Status?Yeah this has happened to probably most men, myself included- bit of a double standard in society that it tends to be accepted too when aimed at men. I tend to think you see this kind of behaviour as well as racism, sexism, all of it, in all populations. When that’s not acknowledged you get angry boys and men that see the injustice and think it’s sanctioned by society, because in a way it is. This was me aged 13-14. This is why I tend to think compensating groups by allowing certain behaviours f… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 04/10/25 03:10 PM |
| 33 | He’s right.Absolutely right. Populists like Trump feed on the disatisfaction of those that feel left behind. The only way to nip this kind of populism in the bud is to offer fundamental change for the people at the bottom. The best the DNC could offer was more of the same. Disappointed but not surprised. Truly believe Bernie would have been a force to be reckoned with. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 08/11/24 09:54 AM |
| 8 | Child Abuse Apologists -- "She's just overwhelmed!"The number of times my mother’s neglect and abuse was waved away because she’s stressed or had post partum depression ten odd years prior. Still being used as an excuse today. Clear as day nobody gave a shit and it was just easier to look away from it. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 31/08/24 06:59 AM |
| 11 | Child Abuse Apologists -- "She's just overwhelmed!"The women (and men) that act like this don’t seem to understand that by being unable to take accountability it keeps them in that very infantilised and weak position that they then complain and rage about. Madness. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 31/08/24 06:57 AM |
| 27 | I wonder where the Skittles Analogy originates... ohWow, I viscerally felt uncomfortable with this from the get go but couldn’t place exactly why outside of it feeling sexist. We know that whoever started and popularised the bear thing that the right have been using these kinds of tactics for a long time now. I made the point a few days ago that the media have been pushing this kind of division for at least four decades but realistically a lot longer. Lord Rothmere, Rupert Murdoch. You don’t have to look far for the kinds of people that have been… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 06/05/24 08:41 AM |
| 5 | Do any other “non-masculine” men also struggle with a lack of acceptance?I’m close to unsubscribing from a few FB groups that up until now I’ve engaged with, supported a lot of what they said and provided my time and perspective to because of this constant barrage of hate. Anybody that speaks up is set upon with at least 50 laugh reacts or nasty comments. Mirrors exactly my experience in school and engaging on this topic over the last week. They don’t realise they’re setting their own cause back and alienating people that support them- who probably wouldn’t dare spea… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 06/05/24 07:47 AM |
| 1 | How to respond to people who choose bear over man.Yep nobody wants to hear this. It’s much easier to take the cognitive shortcut of labelling entire groups whether positively or negatively. Hell it’s built into our biology but having said that I do think we are different from other primates… We’re part animal but also part divine. We have access to a higher level of consciousness. We take care of our weak and sick. We’re capable of incredible intellectual feats. We can talk about these issues and empathise with other groups transcending our ani… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 02/05/24 06:35 PM |
| 2 | My experiences with misandry being a Trans male victim of a woman.Was this the one where she dressed and tried to pass as a man, maybe as a journalist- joined a bowling team, was ultimately accepted as a male but then experienced mental health issues due to the way she was now treat and lack of emotional and social support? I vaguely remember reading about this. Edit: yes it was, need to read this book. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 02/05/24 04:51 PM |
| 2 | My experiences with misandry being a Trans male victim of a woman.I think this was a very brave thing to talk about and I just want to say that many of us find the experiences of FTM people to be incredibly valuable perspectives. I hope you find this sub to be a safe space to talk about some of these things- it’s probably one of the only spaces I’ve found online where you can be free to discuss something that as you said yourself is often disbelieved or just outright mocked. I just want you to know that you’re welcome here. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 02/05/24 04:49 PM |
| 4 | The wonderful people on blatantmisogyny are calling one of your threads "misogyny"Yep, I think this is why I felt so strongly about this particular situation and got drawn into engaging with it when my sense of self preservation told me I should keep my mouth shut. It was the same thing I was trying to express back in my own childhood only to be told I was the misogynist/problem/abusive one - all because I couldn’t accept that all men or only men were the problem when my own direct experience said otherwise. I was physically attacked because of wanting to point out the double… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 02/05/24 02:13 PM |
| 8 | The wonderful people on blatantmisogyny are calling one of your threads "misogyny"Yep I had a similar experience with Jordan Peterson. I found some of his earlier recorded lectures to be interesting. For me it wasn't so much around feeling heard on mens issues, what interested me was mostly around the links he made between psychology and mythology. I kept on watching but noticed that as he became more and more prominent the tone started to shift to more aggressive and sexist rhetoric. I've been burned and let down by many prominent names in the past in the same kind of way so… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 02/05/24 10:45 AM |
| 31 | The wonderful people on blatantmisogyny are calling one of your threads "misogyny"Yep, if a person has a negative experience with a woman and they turn into a misogynist we would say that generalizing that experience was wrong. These people are willing to do exactly the same thing and it's sanctioned by most of society. I know the argument would be on the amount of this kind of thing experienced by women but that's still problematic because I know lots of men that have been SA'd by women, there is a pressure not to report and a social stigma for doing so, and it's just not ta… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 02/05/24 08:53 AM |
| 23 | The wonderful people on blatantmisogyny are calling one of your threads "misogyny"Completely agree, it's gaslighting and a double bind. Reading through some of the comments on that sub they're claiming that people on this sub can't be left wing because these are MRA talking points. I'm personally very left wing. I am against all ism-s, believe that everybody should be treat equally as individuals, am against all forms of hierarchy and class structure but I'm also against misandrism, funnily enough. It's also a logical fallacy to completely discount an opinion held by another … | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 02/05/24 08:48 AM |
| 11 | How to respond to people who choose bear over man.Completely agree, personally I feel as though this whole thing was just rage bait. You try and point it out you just open yourself up for attack. There's much better ways to get the point they're trying to make across that wont alienate half of the population. Another point is it's not as though people aren't very aware of the issue in the first place. As if fathers don't worry for their daughters, wives or girlfriends. As if women can't be abusers or predators. The main issue is something actua… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 01/05/24 01:40 PM |
| 20 | How to respond to people who choose bear over man.I think this is a pretty good take for people that haven't seen the meme already and gets at some of problems with looking at the world through the lens of identity politics. However you approach this though, the way things are right now I don't feel like anybody is going to accept what's being got at here. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 01/05/24 10:47 AM |
| 18 | Why doesn't intersectionality theory able to explain the disadvantage of men?Exactly, that's another aspect to this. When people talk about it it's nearly always the disadvantages of a particular minority and advantages of the dominant group but very infrequently the other way around. I think most people are just looking to explain the pain of their own particular group experience and don't tend to think beyond that. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 29/04/24 08:18 AM |
| 4 | Why doesn't intersectionality theory able to explain the disadvantage of men?Because most people see men, especially white men as not experiencing any disadvantage because they're not a minority. They're the "dominant group". I've heard otherwise intelligent and well meaning people say things like this. The messed up thing is that outside of a space like this even making a relatively factual statement like this feels like I'd be opening myself up for attack. Bill Burr has a few good takes on this. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 29/04/24 08:16 AM |
| 9 | Canadian DNA lab knew its paternity tests identified the wrong dads, but it kept selling them.Profit > literally everything else Seemingly doesn’t matter the industry, company or consequences to innocent people. Can we just fucking end this economic system already. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 10/04/24 11:54 AM |
| 1 | Men’s therapyThanks for your reply. Yes it's a difficult one to talk about because at the time I was incredibly dissociated and in an emotionally vulnerable position so it's possible I would have still felt this way if the questioning was more gentle and benign. That's probably why I stayed in that therapy for so long - "he's the therapist, I'm the patient. It's probably my own perceptions that are messed up". To put things into perspective I was in my early to mid twenties and had what could either be calle… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 28/03/24 03:09 PM |
| 5 | Men’s therapyI’m definitely not saying that it’s so bad that it’s impossible to have a good life- only that the conditions that we’re placed in make it much more difficult than it needs to be for the majority. I did feel that way before I was medicated for ADHD but now being a Dad I l don’t have the luxury of that- or at least letting it drag me down as much. Now I tend to focus on verbalising the problems we do have and looking for solutions which is a healthier space to be in. Hopefully we can continue to … | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 27/03/24 05:01 PM |
| 2 | Men’s therapyThanks mate. It was a long time ago now, seeing this thread brought up a few memories that’s all. He was responsible for treatment of violent offenders so I’m not sure why I ended up with that guy - but I think the reason my experience is relevant to this thread is that when seeking treatment (voluntarily, that I was paying for, with no crime committed I’ll add) I nearly always felt typecast in that kind of way. No matter the problem I was having it was my perception or something to do with my b… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 27/03/24 09:11 AM |
| 30 | Men’s therapyToo much to go into really but a coupe of things- That a lot of society reminded my of the narcissistic dynamics from my childhood. Rampant abuse, bullying. Talked about politics and how many of the businesses I worked at were run. Often sidelining the people that did the work and brow beating people into doing borderline illegal things. Nah it was just all in my head apparently. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 26/03/24 09:22 PM |
| 46 | Men’s therapyYep, probably one of the worst parts of therapy for me was being gaslit into thinking the things I was noticing were just in my head and that I was the one that needed to adapt. I was not wrong. Society is fucked and adapting to that is not a measure of success in my eyes. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 26/03/24 09:11 PM |
| 27 | Men’s therapy(Unintentionally wrote a book here. TLDR at the bottom) My first experience was with an NHS therapist that I had to wait over a year to see. At my intake meeting the guy savagely laid into me infront of a room full of students in a kind of bear-baiting way. I nearly didn’t make it to the next session. I only ticked the box to say I was okay with the students being there because I thought it would shorten the waiting time after somehow surviving the year on the waiting list. I grew up with parent… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 26/03/24 09:06 PM |
| 2 | Labour to help schools develop male influencers to combat Tate misogynyI mean I agree with a lot of what you're saying and that's why I am in this sub to begin with. There's plenty of people saying the same things and my last comment on this was only a few days ago. That was addressing a FTM trans person that has experienced the same kind of shock at being exposed to the toxic culture around how men are treat and expectations placed upon them. I don't know where you're getting the idea that a positive male role model has to be taking the lead from women or feminist… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 29/02/24 12:55 PM |
| 1 | Labour to help schools develop male influencers to combat Tate misogynyOkay, for a throwaway comment with barely enough words to form a sentance you really went to town on this one huh. We know that GenZ and younger men are being driven right (or towards mysogyny to be more on point) by online influencers like Tate, Jordan Peterson, Shapiro and the rest. As far as I can see Labour are proposing that we do something similar to counter this - amplify voices of positive male role models whether that's left wing voices or just men in general. That was the extent of wha… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 29/02/24 09:03 AM |
| 0 | Labour to help schools develop male influencers to combat Tate misogynyWe absolutely need more positive male role models. This is actually another good idea from Labour. Holy shit that's two in a week. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 28/02/24 10:13 AM |
| 4 | How do you deal with hostility to your views?I totally get where you’re coming from and it happens in all sorts of different spaces- even when you’re ostensibly on the same side but just have a different opinion from what the group would normally expect. Especially so if you like to talk in lots of different groups. You’ve got to realise a lot of people in those spaces can be reactionary, probably had a lot of trauma and blame it rightly or wrongly on the other side- whichever group that is.… you’re just the personification of what hurt th… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 13/01/24 07:52 PM |
| 6 | “Fragile masculinity” is an example of the most cruel feminist strategy - exploiting insecurityLegitimately think you guys are onto something here. I’ve thought the same thing about politics but have noticed huge amounts of this in the gender politics space too. If you think of people with these disorders they often run very simplified “software” in their minds. Everything is a conflict or a competition. This verses that. Better or worse. I think these personality disorders are running the show. Those attitudes have filtered down into our society and it’s no surprise the MO of the people … | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 06/10/22 09:12 AM |
| 5 | Sexist body shaming like this is never aimed at women, so why does LeftBook think it acceptable to be blatantly sexist and body shame and think that this kind of shit is okay?Completely agree with this. The left are completely ineffectual when it comes to fighting. They have to appeal to everybody else’s virtue policing otherwise they get cast out and shamed. At least that’s my experience as someone that refuses to be typecast (but consider my views broadly left wing) We need someone that knows how to fight. Loudly. Unapologetically. That can also fight other left wingers when necessary lol | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 02/07/22 08:32 AM |

| 5 | Why mainstream feminists keep writing in mainstream media about how men and fathers are unnecessary and disposable ?!Thanks. I'm aware of /r/raisedbynarcissists and /r/CPTSDnextsteps but if there any other good ones I'd really appreciate that. Edit: I deleted the parent comment and amended this one for some pseudo privacy. Thanks everyone for the comments and links. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 06/06/21 09:59 AM |
| 10 | Why mainstream feminists keep writing in mainstream media about how men and fathers are unnecessary and disposable ?!My mam was/is a sociopath. My dad and those around her still blame 'post natal depression' (for 18 years after my birth apparently) and refuse to talk about the severe damage being raised by that woman did to me.

| 4 | My body. My choice.This was something I experienced. Being pressured to go without using a condom, the same "I'm unable to get pregnant" line but clearly desperately wanted kids and yet when I talked about it with my (female) therapist she could see nothing wrong or inappropriate. The mind boggles. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 03/01/21 12:33 PM |
