1	Sabine Hossenfelder, probably the most famous female science communicator makes a video about the mental health crisis - teenage girls most affected, boys not mentioned Possible but there’s also no reason to believe that the underlying prevalence of people that are transgender is equal across biological sex?	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	24/08/23 02:33 AM
1	We are Left Wing Male Advocates not Left Wing Feminism Hate. Right, being strategic is critical. Many of the black civil rights leaders were strategic in ways that we would find shocking. For example, the activist before Rosa Parks was passed over as a symbol for the movement because, among a few things, that worried that her darker skin would make it harder for her to be framed as a “noble” black woman finding for dignity. Not saying we have to go to these extremes but the people that have actually gotten things done is difficult political environments w…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	28/07/23 04:02 AM
5	Were Western societies really patriarchal before the 2000's? Yes, western societies have been very patriarchal and heavily oppressed women. The issue isn’t that women weren’t oppressed but that patriarchal societies like the west weren’t good for the well being of men either. These societies narrowed the humanity of men, oppressed men that didn’t fit into these narrow definitions, and caused them enormous trauma.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	26/07/23 04:44 PM
18	Title IX: How Schools Hold Kangaroo Courts and Oppress the Accused I wonder what would happen if students started accusing the administrators of these processes in protest. I feel like only after a few administrators have experienced the absence of due process, then things will change.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	24/07/23 09:22 PM
13	Working for women's rights and starting a conversation I strongly recommend framing men’s issues as serve to women’s issues. I don’t believe this personally but the political reality is people aren’t rational, particularly around topics of physical safety. I did some violence against women work where I showed the most responsive men where those that were aware that men can be victims of violence (similar to have social conservatives suddenly become gay friendly when their kid comes out as gay: often people don’t care until they have skin in the game…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	17/07/23 03:40 PM
2	Abraham Lincoln used female pen names to attack political rivals, from which he could slander them as "unpopular with women", among other things Fascinating!	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	04/05/23 05:48 PM
6	Abraham Lincoln used female pen names to attack political rivals, from which he could slander them as "unpopular with women", among other things Can you share sources for learning about the women movements that opposed suffrage b/c it limited political power?	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	04/05/23 01:57 AM
-15	How do we measure 'gender equality'? While I strongly believe progressive need to do much more to address men’s issues, I cannot stand by this framing. It is true that a tiny percentage of men are billionaires, billionaires also have enormous sway on corporate, economic, and social policy. For example, look at how MacKenzie Scott and Melinda French Gate have radically increased funding for women specific issues since they’ve separated from their husbands. That’s the impact of a small increase in the percentage of billionaires that …	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	02/05/23 01:34 PM
14	Study says Men Most Often Victims of Bias. One of the authors does a walkthrough of the paper on twitter: https://twitter.com/paulrconnor/status/1509557998548668422	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	07/04/23 12:52 PM
14	Study finds gender discrimination against men in workplace hiring, and no discrimination against women One caveat to keep in mind is some companies will interview women and minority applicants just to demonstrate that they are looking for “diverse” candidates. So rates in call backs don’t tell the full story of hiring discrimination. Also it is plausible for women to have advantages in hiring but have disadvantages in promotions. Also these sample sizes were uncomfortably small (I’m trained in statistical causal inference). Although I’m very sympathetic to the lack of rigor/reason in the conversa…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	04/04/23 09:02 PM
2	My Quick Critique (and summary) of the science article: “Maybe She Was Provoked” :Exploring Gender Stereotypes About Male and Female Perpetrators of Intimate Partner Violence Please let us know what they say.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	31/03/23 08:04 PM
25	My Quick Critique (and summary) of the science article: “Maybe She Was Provoked” :Exploring Gender Stereotypes About Male and Female Perpetrators of Intimate Partner Violence Have you tried emailing the authors with your comments? I used to do academic research and would welcome good faith comments.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	30/03/23 01:03 PM
6	The woman who sexually assaulted me held the view that all men are evil and that we are sex crazed maniacs. Sorry, this sounds so traumatic. I hope you continue adding supportive and affirming people in your life.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	04/02/23 06:00 AM

40	Yes, men too. Even happens to male executives: “Ryan Olohan, 48, accuses Google of firing him after one its top executives, Tiffany Miller, groped him at a Chelsea restaurant in December 2019 and told him she knew he liked Asian women — which Miller is, according to a blockbuster November federal lawsuit filed in Manhattan. Miller, director of Google’s programmatic media, rubbed Olohan’s abs, complimented his physique, and told him her marriage lacked “spice,” according to court papers. … Olohan said he repor…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	30/01/23 05:40 PM
6	What human rights issues Iranian men are facing? Not to mention men that join the protest are being raped and otherwise sexually assaulted as well.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	30/01/23 05:29 PM
1	I am blown away at how many people are applauding Greta Thunberg for D-shaming Andrew Tate. I’m not disputing your values, I agree with them, but the practical realties of politics and activism means you have to strategize according to how people view the world vs how they should ideally view the world. Take George Floyd for example, if the crime that brought him in contact with the police was beating the sh*t out of a black female SO, would the way that the police murdered him be ok? Of course not, one of the things that makes me proud of American is even self proclaimed Nazis can get…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	30/12/22 05:09 PM
23	I am blown away at how many people are applauding Greta Thunberg for D-shaming Andrew Tate. Probably the worst time to have this fight. Got to accept that, in large numbers, humans aren’t rational or nuanced, so timing and context is everything. This point needs to be pushed when the target isn’t a flaming bag of trash. Even during the civil rights movement, the original Rosa Parks was passed over because she was too dark skinned and had other aspects of her life that didn’t make her the most sympathetic by the norms of the time. Conceptually should any of that matter for the cause of …	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	30/12/22 02:39 AM
1	What's inside the gap? You should check out Claudia Golden’s work. If you are not familiar with her, she used to be the head of the American Economic Association. She’s leading some of the most rigorous research on women in the labor market. She neither sweeps under the rug the powerful impacts that discrimination and societal expectations have on men and women but also, as someone trained in-depth in statistical causal inference, she doesn’t settle for easy progressives diagnoses of social problems. Here’s this piece…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	10/12/22 12:47 PM
8	What's inside the gap? The important thing is that doesn’t have to happen. Many jobs are potentially needlessly configured to be difficult for primary caregivers. In other words, I would say the wage gap is driven more by historical structural sexism vs interpersonal sexism. The Vox article I linked explains it more	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	09/12/22 04:05 PM
34	What's inside the gap? Should also add the role of high paying jobs where workers can not easily substitute for each other (i.e. lawyers at elite law firms) in making it challenging for people with primary childcare duty to maintain the same wage growth as those without: https://www.vox.com/2017/9/8/16268362/gender-wage-gap-explained Funny enough, recently, women in US cities like NYC and DC make more than men.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	09/12/22 01:46 PM
31	Make the streets safe for everyone. That would be fine we agreed to consistency. When most of the people that bully women and drive women to eating disorders are other women, we don’t say that it is a women’s problem.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	24/11/22 05:50 PM
21	I personally feel like the conversation around men's issues is stuck in a groove I think part of the problem is we have simple language to discuss privilege. In particular, we think of topography of privilege as these next concave and monotonically slopes. In reality, privilege can vary significantly by different economic, social, religious, political, and legal spheres. For example, as a black man, I found that I was without a doubt more privileged than black women in professional spaces with masculine overtones: tech, finance, etc. However, in spaces with more feminine ove…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	23/11/22 04:04 PM
7	Toys: Separating nature from nurture. I’m definitely sympathetic to the idea that the differences in hormonal exposure, gender-specific evolutionary pressure, and physiology could result early and persistent differences in behavior between boys and girls. I think it is unreasonable not to be. But given the enormous impact on society that having these beliefs about men and women could have, I want to proceed cautiously. Given that, the only thing that seems plausible to me is gender-specific evolutionary pressure around toys associat…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	24/10/22 02:04 AM
