| 16 | A question for menA lot of men’s issues would be addressed in part by focus on the rights and wellbeing of the working class. When schools are better funded, more resources can go to helping boys get back on track. When teachers are paid better, it will attract more qualified professionals, including men, to teach and provide a good example for young men. Working conditions are an issue regardless of gender that does happen to affect men more, but should be improved regardless! Equality in parental leave benefits… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 13/04/25 04:15 PM |
| 1 | Need Suggestions: Influencers for Young Menmaybe this is too niche and specific, but @AskOkeyInc is a men’s style channel. He’s an older gent who talks about proper suits and fashion. He’s formal and old fashioned, but he’s a true gentleman. At the very least, when it’s time for prom or the like, this channel will have great advice! | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 10/04/25 02:56 PM |
| 15 | What's a good response or 'comeback' to the pick me girl insult?“Pick-mes tear down other women for attention and approval. That’s what you’re doing. I’m just stating my opinion. Why is that such a problem for you?” | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 03/04/25 09:58 PM |
| 6 | Men under growing pressure to bulk up with steroidsBotox and cosmetic surgery is probably a better comparison for women, right? Women just have more options for how extremely they want to commit. Men seem to see steroids, or just bulking in general, as the only/main option. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 18/01/25 12:38 AM |
| 2 | AdviceI care deeply about equity. In terms of gender, sure, but I think broader socioeconomic equity is a better focus. I prefer to fight the class war than the culture war. For example, paid parental leave is an economic issue, not a gender issue. All parents should receive the same rights, support, and consideration. (Have you ever considered that there are rarely changing tables in men’s bathrooms? That’s a gender equity issue affecting parents that I don’t think feminists care about very much.) By… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 05/01/25 12:15 AM |
| 13 | AdviceIf they think being here is harmful, they don’t understand the aim of the sub. Human rights and wellbeing are not a zero sum game. Hoping for better education outcomes for boys doesn’t hurt women. Asking for safer working conditions for men doesn’t hurt women. Promoting men’s mental health doesn’t hurt women. I don’t really participate in feminism subs. Why would I need to? I already know how to be respectful towards women. I aim to treat everyone fairly. I don’t think I’m missing much. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 04/01/25 03:40 PM |
| 72 | For the feminist guests in the audienceI don’t identify strongly with the label “feminist” but I’m a femme person who believes in equality. The biggest standout issue to me is education. Boys underperforming and under-enrolling in school is a huge concern. I think our education system is overdue for massive reform. I already thought that because of how poorly it trains anyone to think critically and understand even basic media literacy and science and that’s ruining our society. But I think you’re right that the structures in place d… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 04/01/25 03:17 PM |
| 2 | Misandry sucks and it's making me feel really bitterTry reading “Ten Arguments for Deleting Your Social Media Accounts Right Now” for more info on how people are being manipulated. The real answer is we don’t always know by whom. But it’s very real, and it’s up to us to snap out of it (even if we keep the social media accounts). | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 27/12/24 05:06 PM |
| 52 | I hate being called "One of the good ones."I feel like that mentality towards an asexual man reveals how much they perceive masculinity and sexuality to be intertwined. If you’re asexual, it’s like you “don’t count” as a man anymore (provided you stay on your best behavior). It’s really gross. As a fellow asexual, I sympathize. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 20/12/24 04:02 AM |
| 5 | Genuine dysphoria induced from misandry. (Hear me out.)I can’t speak from experience on this, but offering empathy and best wishes. Masculinity can be such a beautiful thing. I’d recommend (roll with me on this) reading Lord of the Rings and some of the essays written about Tolkien’s presentation of masculinity in his work. His vision of masculinity is the one that speaks to me most. I tear up thinking about it tbh. The Tolkien documentary is a great place to start if you’re interested! | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 08/12/24 05:23 AM |
| 3 | The left or progressives seem to have a strong hatred of individualism. And I think this could be harmful for men issues.It sounds like you’re kinda confusing individualism with individuality. The relationship between individualism and conservatism is present in things like R voters prioritizing lower taxes because they feel that betters their economic position without considering how those tax dollars would fund public services and general good. And also the belief that one should only care for oneself or one’s own. So when they are in need, they either struggle or turn to corporations to save them. This mindset … | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 05/12/24 01:52 AM |
| 5 | Men “acting hard” instead of showing solidarityThose things don’t have to be true though? For kids in school and cancer research, there’s no reason for it to be a zero sum game? Inspiration and mentorship are literally not finite resources. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 29/11/24 03:34 PM |
| 24 | Damn... you guys are alright.I’m from a very conservative community, so I was raised thinking right wing (American sense) but quickly shifted left. But I’ve always retained my ability to talk to people on the right. Lots of people share common values of community, family, hard work, freedom, etc. we just have different ideas of what policies achieve these things. The left have been virtue signaling to the wrong people for way too long. It’s time to get back to the working class, and especially men who feel ignored and sidel… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 20/11/24 04:31 AM |
| 24 | As leftist neurodivergent men, do you feel unwelcomed in leftist spaces or rejected in dating even with your best foot forward?I’m not a man, but I relate really strongly to the bit about not ever making meaningful connections in these spaces. It’s definitely tolerance or sometimes they even like me by all appearances, but the real connection is never there. It’s definitely a struggle for autistic people, and from what I’ve heard, definitely for men these days. That being said, I’ve seen a lot more neurodivergent leftists popping up in my feeds lately, mostly non-men, but there’s still a chance that a neurodivergent com… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 13/11/24 10:55 PM |
| 1 | How bad is the current state of academia?Sure! Certain speech patterns are attributed more to men, like less prosodic contour (pitch variation over the course of a sentence), asking fewer questions, overlapping speech/interrupting, and speaking for longer durations. There are all also associated with autistic people, i.e. monotone voice and fixed interests. It’s likely autistic people do these things more noticeably which leads to stigma. But it could also be the fact that people tend to sense autism without really knowing why and form… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 20/05/24 04:04 AM |
| 14 | How bad is the current state of academia?I’m a social scientist, but no one is really involved in academia broadly enough to speak to these trends imo. People will only know their fields and topics. Personally, I’ve thought about writing a paper on how the defining characteristics of men’s speech are a nearly exact match for speech traits that are stigmatized in autistic people. It would be interesting to research if men are actually receiving similar stigma in this era when people are hyper-aware of gender dynamics. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 17/05/24 01:40 AM |
| 8 | Why is "positive masculinity" something that is pushed in progressive circles, but nothing like "positive femininity"?It’s not called that, but there are definitely narratives about being a “girl’s girl” and similar conversations which reinforce positive social behavior among women and which are designed to specifically target and call out toxic behavior. It just doesn’t seem to extend to their treatment of men. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 18/04/24 02:05 PM |
| 4 | Is Male Loneliness Self-Inflicted?I feel like this tweet is not actually attempting to have a discussion. It definitely feels directed at men who are actively spiteful towards women but doesn’t separate them from just regular guys and men doing their best. It’s obvious that loneliness in our society is primarily caused by social changes in public life, such as lack of third places and hyper mobility leaving people with fewer local connections. As a femme person, I suppose it’s not “my job” to help men be less lonely because firs… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 03/04/24 07:32 PM |
| 3 | Is Male Loneliness Self-Inflicted?Do you have thoughts on how women being the “gatekeepers of sex” can be changed to be more equitable? It’s an interesting bit of social positioning to recognize and call out, I’m just not sure what can be done about it. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 03/04/24 07:23 PM |
| 12 | I saw this stand up short and I think it represents one problem seen in feminist spaces: Not fully questioning gender norms.I relate to it more as an autistic person than in terms of gender. It’s a very common autistic experience to feel like you’re putting on a performance of being a person and putting tons of energy into understanding how it’s perceived. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 26/03/24 01:52 AM |
| 3 | Does anyone else experience 'emotional' misogyny and have tips on how to combat it?If you’ve been treated badly, it makes sense to be upset and feel some resentment. But it shouldn’t extend to an entire group. Statistically speaking, it’s likely those people were all right-handed. But it seems silly to judge all right-handed people for the actions of the subset you’ve had bad experiences with. Therapy is helpful for moving past this type of thing. But honestly the best thing you can do is keep living your life, do your best to treat people well, and be clear about how you expe… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 18/08/23 03:05 PM |
| 1 | Has the threshold for masculinity gotten harder and majorly worse for the average man to meet? Full fledged discussion inspired in the OPI definitely see what you mean. But I think those types of people are either in denial or actively manipulating the terminology of what they’re looking for. Those people don’t want someone stable and safe, they want someone complacent and submissive (in a general sense, not necessarily sexual). It’s not flashy, but it’s not the normal vanilla either. For example, a lack of social media presence isn’t vanilla, it’s different. Just in the opposite way to people with over the top profiles. But I do… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 13/08/23 07:26 PM |
| 1 | Has the threshold for masculinity gotten harder and majorly worse for the average man to meet? Full fledged discussion inspired in the OPDamn, I find that very surprising! Personally, poets and musicians have always been my type, but I am a romantic. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 11/08/23 09:17 PM |
| 1 | Has the threshold for masculinity gotten harder and majorly worse for the average man to meet? Full fledged discussion inspired in the OPI definitely see what you mean, but I also think there’s something to be said for the straight-laced guys out there. Like you said, with social media, the competition to be interesting is through the roof. It’s pushing people and aesthetics to extremes. In reality, that’s how the algorithm works, not necessarily people’s personal taste. I think there are many people burnt out with the over the top performative stuff on social media. People value safety and comfort. So I do think there’s a market… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 11/08/23 04:01 PM |

| 14 | Objectification and SexualizationSpeaking as a non-binary person in a female body, I don’t think the things you’re asking about are wrong. Feeling attraction is normal and fine. Acting on attractions without regard for the person it’s directed at is a problem, but it seems like you understand that. For me, objectification is literally seeing someone as an object. Finding a stranger attractive doesn’t seem like objectification to me because the interaction/thought doesn’t even last long enough to matter. But things like using so… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 10/08/23 03:07 PM |
| 7 | The fallacy of binary privilegeThis comparison actually makes so much sense! People have assumed it’s a one gender issue, but we just have to get better at looking for different warning signs and change the cultural narrative. (You might have to worry about people getting angry at you for comparing autistic people to abusers since they often overreact like that, but I’m autistic and I see what you’re trying to do.) It’s also relevant for men’s mental health. Men present depression and anxiety differently than women, communica… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 09/08/23 06:59 PM |
| 10 | The fallacy of binary privilegeThis is actually a much bigger issue for men. Affirmative action was by far more helpful for white women than any other group. White and Asian people still significantly outnumber other races in college admissions. But for gender? Men used to be the majority on college campuses, but over time (since affirmative action), the roles have reversed and more women are admitted and graduate from university. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 09/08/23 06:53 PM |
| 1 | I feel like people are becoming more traditionalI’ve seen videos like that too, but I’ve never met a person like that in real life. And even if you do, you don’t have to date them. Sharing values with someone is one of the most important parts of finding a partner. So people like that obviously won’t share your values. I’m autistic as well, so I know it can be difficult. And I really get not caring about gendered expectations. I identify as agender even though I present very feminine because I don’t feel or really act particularly feminine. N… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 13/04/23 03:11 PM |
| 1 | Exploitation of men and their wealthSo I guess the problem is that people have trouble accepting the expansion of our definition of masculinity without pushing for a complete alteration of masculinity? I’m new to these spaces, so I’m still trying to learn. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 06/04/23 09:52 PM |
| 6 | Exploitation of men and their wealthSo is part of the solution to change our ideas about masculinity to include sensitivity and vulnerability? I don’t view those as un-masculine traits, just necessary for a healthy and emotionally mature human. And I do find that very attractive. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 06/04/23 03:03 PM |
| 58 | Exploitation of men and their wealthI recently saw a few TikToks by some girl saying things like “if you pay bills, you don’t have a boyfriend” and “if men don’t want to pay all your expenses, they should date in their price range. all the desirable women will demand this.” It was insane. When I made a comment saying how toxic this mindset is, women tried to defend it by saying there’s nothing wrong with a traditional relationship. But if your relationship involves seeing a man as an object (a bank, specifically) then that’s disgu… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 06/04/23 05:21 AM |
| 9 | What are the examples of misandry, male disposability & common male tropes in fiction?I think a common trend is that women’s adultery is romantic and justified whereas men’s is selfish and lustful. Recently read a book (Wahala by Nikki May) in which the female main characters talk a lot of shit about men, particularly Nigerian men. They also lie to and disrespect their husbands in horrible ways. The book shows them realizing they were wrong, but it still mostly sides with the women. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 05/04/23 06:46 PM |
| 80 | Why is it so hard to discuss men's issues in left spaces?A huge problem is when people view support as a zero-sum game. As if advocating for men’s mental health somehow takes away from or threatens women. It is more complicated for truly limited resources like jobs, where research shows how women can be under-valued. But overall, people have a very hard time actually rooting for equality. So they’ll just end up becoming the thing they hate. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 20/03/23 04:30 PM |
