| 18 | The Gendered Suicide Paradox is MeaninglessYeah, the attitude of women are more considerate and don't like leaving a mess is disgusting. If someone is in enough pain to try to kill themselves and that's what your concerned about. Also it shouldn't matter if "more women attempt suicide". If boys and men are disproportionately losing their lives to suicide it should be more public knowledge what how they might act if potentially suicidal and how to help without making it worse. Society in general is still not great about treating mental il… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 15/08/22 04:00 PM |
| 18 | I feel like homophobia is often co-opted by women when they claim that it’s just misogyny.I have always hated this one especially when they go one further and say homophobia would disappear if misogyny did. It's disgustingly ignorant and misses so many factors | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 31/07/22 12:43 AM |
| 10 | Enough With The DownplayingMy mom who isn't a feminist even says some of those things. Growing up she used to insult me for trying to dress like a boy or ask if I was trying to be a boy in a way that felt insulting. My sister even told me she said "he probably liked it anyway", regarding which I'm pretty sure was the Asia Argento trial a few years ago by the timing. I've seen feminists try to brush it off as it's only men who make those types of comments about sexual harassment or abuse against men and boys. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 25/03/22 02:44 PM |
| 10 | This kind of thing angers me, it really does. Feminists are always going on about “toxic masculinity” and “men not showing tenor feelings”, yet when a man does express their genuine feelings of hurt, they pounce on them and try to make them ashamed for their emotionsI've really seen it inserted into a lot of Marvel's recent movies and shows and other things that used to be unpopular that are now in the mainstream that people latch onto and act like it needs to atone for the past of not having strong female characters even though it did have a lot of female characters when I was growing up. It just kind of feels like they're trying to prove they don't hate women and insert scenes that just come off awkward and/or often sexist. X-men is really good example be… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 22/03/22 07:14 PM |

Feminists are always going on about “toxic masculinity” and “men not showing tenor feelings”, yet when a man does express their genuine feelings of hurt, they pounce on them and try to make them ashamed for their emotionsYep, as a trans man who likes video games it's annoying to suddenly have all these generalizations about men and often anti male ideas inserted into games and other things I've liked since childhood | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 22/03/22 05:33 PM |
| 14 | LGBTQ community started to speak up about misandry in some subcommittees.Yes, I'm a trans man and more often than not other trans men seem to believe that they gain male privilege; that or they brush misandry of as a joke or not being real. Funny, how I've never felt disadvantaged for being seen as "female" in a first world country but I have felt anxiety over being lgbt in the town or even state I'm from.

| 8 | TERFs only hate trans women because they hate men.I once saw a post pointing this out and how terfs ignore how gender-nonconforming, butch, or androgynous (cis) women (a group they often claim to care for the best interests of) are often lumped in with transwomen or mistaken as biologically male and expelled from women's restrooms/locker rooms or worse. It's not as though the type to be bigoted always stop to listen to ration before reacting either. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 29/10/21 03:48 AM |
| 6 | In ‘The Last Duel,’ Matt Damon and Ben Affleck Want You to Know They Know Men Are BadAs film critic Jessica Kiang put it in her review, The Last Duel “illustrat[es] … how men are now and have always been, the absolute fucking worst.” So in her mind a fictional movie based on historical events that is really just a commentary catering to current popular attitudes about how men behave and always have behaved proves how terrible men are and always have been? That's real great logic. She definitely isn't looking for things that confirm her pre-existing beliefs at all. /s I don’t thi… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 15/10/21 03:47 AM |

They can't seem to understand how many people have to work two jobs to barely make ends meet or make sure their kids just have the bare minimum necessities or have to choose between hot water or putting food on the table.

| 19 | Reddit hates gender roles... until a woman advocates for male gender rolesShe is very sexist and entitled. If she was just giving her dating preferences she wouldn't have said men who split the bill are shitty boyfriends/husbands/fathers. It quits being a preference when you state someone has to behave a certain way in a relationship or they're bad not only at relationships but also at parenting. How anyone can't see how entitled she is acting is beyond me especially since she thinks she makes more money. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 04/10/21 07:59 PM |
| 19 | A common response to males committing suicide 3x times as often as women is “That’s because men choose more violent & lethal methods”, with misandrist implications that it’s a result of men being inherently violent. In reality, studies show that even using the same less-lethal methods, men die more.What an ignorant thing to say when someone is feeling so low they decide to take their life. I've seen that said before and it's disgusting | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 12/08/21 07:42 PM |

Then when I tell feminists this I get told in a very condescending way "well maybe you don't but most women and girls do".

| 6 | Getting messages like this is why I continue to do what I do. We're not evil for feeling hurt.Yep, too many people seem stuck on the idea that women as a group have it worse than men as a group to the point they act like the suffering of individual men and boys is insignificant. Reminds me of something I heard a lot growing up that someone else always has it worse than you. That's basically what they're saying and it always annoyed me without even adding in gender. It's always refreshing to see someone who doesn't buy into that attitude | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 06/08/21 07:46 PM |
| 2 | Iceland (supermarket) advert exemplifies how men are casually vilified in the mediaYes, even in the compassionate forms of activism (child oriented, poverty, eco, animal rights, etc.) I've noticed a general attitude that if men are boys are there it's because they were dragged along or even treated suspiciously. Almost like society doesn't view them of being as capable of compassion. My father who's in his 70's now was the first in my family to decide to go vegan so men/boys can be the driving force for certain things. I've seen people try to make it out so women are vegan mor… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 06/08/21 03:53 PM |
| 7 | How has feminist shaming/normalized misandry harmed you?Weird how much it actually lines of with traditional gender roles and attitudes yet is pushed as new and progressive when that's what has most commonly been taught in the past. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 26/07/21 04:47 AM |
| 37 | My sexuality isn't yours to play with - rant about objectification of gay men.Yes, then feminists write articles about how gay men getting annoyed at women taking over gay bars and acting entitled is misogynist and women can do what they want. It also has the same reasoning behind articles popping up about how gay men are still men and therefore are privileged over women and perpetuate misogyny. Otherwise people would start to realize women aren't the least privileged and actually have power and privilege over certain men or groups of men. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 09/07/21 02:16 PM |
| 6 | Do you feel like men/boys are forced to protect women/girls?It's less forced and more the result of reinforcement of attitudes starting as young boys that it's their duty to protect girls and their safety is less important. When you get called a coward and just shamed for going against that it's hard to escape the pressure to put women/girls first and makes men and boys feel guilty for not. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 16/06/21 12:24 AM |
| 14 | What's the difference between TERFs and mainstream feminists? TERFs dare to treat transwomen how (too many) mainstream feminists treat men.Yes, then liberal feminists call it trans misogyny with the logic being that it's because they're "lowering" themselves to women's level. If that were true terfs and Republicans wouldn't have the same talking points for the most part which really amount to protecting women from the big bad men. Whether or not it's really about protecting women or just a shield they hide behind probably varies by individual. Still it seems clear that they're aren't hated for living as women but because they're se… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 04/06/21 05:06 AM |
| 17 | Why aren't gender diversity quotas by companies sexist?Yep, funny how it's never acknowledged if a man wants to be in female dominated fields he's seen as gay, treated suspiciously, or both especially if it involves being around kids a lot. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 31/05/21 06:42 PM |
| 3 | Why aren't gender diversity quotas by companies sexist?Where I work it's very liberal by nature and at meetings they kept making a point of their policy that they try to promote women in equal numbers to leadership positions. It doesn't make sense to me to have to prove you aren't discriminating by being forced to promote at least as many or women or close to as many. Especially since there is nothing to suggest they would discriminate in the first place. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 31/05/21 06:31 PM |
| 13 | I came across this. And I thought it was relevant for discussion here. People who are bullied for things outside of their control will lash out. That's why the idea of "acceptable targets" needs to stop.I wish I could say that's surprising. I've also seen feminists say gay men are still men or gay men still have male privilege. There are also ones who seem to think gay marriage being legal means all the issues gay men face are over. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 24/05/21 06:38 AM |
| 24 | I came across this. And I thought it was relevant for discussion here. People who are bullied for things outside of their control will lash out. That's why the idea of "acceptable targets" needs to stop.Yep, I’ve noticed a pattern when something suddenly comes into mainstream acceptance or is suddenly popular that members of were previously marginalized feminists will latch on to it and point out all the “misogyny” in said group. The denial that liking video games, comics, etc. ever lead to bullying is just ignorant or willfully blind. I grew up liking geeky/nerdy things and was bullied starting at age six in the 90s.

I like other men but I've always thought that about straight relationships. At best it just seems entitled she's right at worst incredibly abusive and manipulative. I think it ties into the attitude of "the woman is always right". Also, usually in these situations they seem to both be equal homeowners so why should he leave when she's the one who's mad? A long time ago I saw this fictional show where the wife told the husband to sleep on the couch because he didn't want to have sex aga… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 04/05/21 02:51 AM |
| 3 | Anyone else notice that a feminist's definition of a man doing the 'bare minimum' is often far more than a man doing the actual bare minimum?Something I've seen regarding this that annoys me is it seems to be directed at fathers frequently. Someone will make a post about a father doing something for his kids and feminists will start in saying fathers get credit for doing the bare minimum or for doing things mothers are just expected to do or know. Ironically, it seems to be straight women giving the majority of the "credit" because they find it attractive. Why hate on men for trying to be good fathers anyway especially if they're sin… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 02/05/21 12:55 AM |

I can't tell you the amount of comments I've seen where they'll say boys are being forcefully feminized because they dress or act feminine. It doesn't even occur to them that maybe we're finally getting more freedom to dress and act how we want and just maybe they're happy that way. Especially if they try and make it out like it's feminisms doing .… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 28/04/21 02:52 PM |
| 5 | Respecting WomenIt's more the implication that society consistently teaches men are taught not to respect women from childhood that throws me off. I've more consistently seen that the opposite is true and never have I seen hating women treated as socially acceptable. Bad things happening to some women is not proof it's acceptable. Anyone can get into a dangerous or abusive situation. These people are leaving in a bubble if they think bad things happening to women and girls is proof they aren't respected by soci… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 25/04/21 05:25 AM |
| 8 | Just because I’m a man doesn’t mean I only like things I think I can fuckI think society generally doesn't think men can be passionate or care about anything. A lot of time it feels like there is an expectation that we our hobbies and interests are too "childish" or need to be given up for the good of others even if harmless. It also seems to extend to men genuinely caring about and/or volunteering for humanitarian or social causes on their own without guidance. Also if the interest, hobby or cause is seen as female dominated it seems to apply too. It bugs me that me… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 25/04/21 02:39 AM |
| 3 | Male Privilege Checklist. I want to know people's thoughts on this.Yes, this one is annoying because they're suddenly pretending women haven't had representation when they have for decades or longer. Just as many books, t.v. shows, and movies have had female characters along with male characters. Girls have always been catered in entertainment as much as boys. Why would entertainment companies leave out half the audience when they could make money or ratings off them too? Feminists are the ones ignoring female characters or figures in history to push this idea … | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 20/04/21 01:46 AM |

This one show had a scenario with a domestic dispute between a couple and someone called the cops on them.

Because of feminism society is constantly addressing "women's issues" to the point even bringing up men's issues seems like derailing to them.

| 11 | The logic of x issue affecting men is actually caused by misogynyTrue, I do hear effeminate used more directed towards someone else. I guess it's more common for men to consider ourselves feminine than it is directed at us. I consider myself a "feminine" man and would feel weird calling myself effeminate personally. I guess because it mostly seems used negatively. Maybe it depends though because I think I have seen some guys call themselves effeminate. Maybe I'm just off on this though.

He was so close to realizing how it was really messed up thinking too but ended up making it about how men should be more aware of how women perceive them and try to not to put them in "uncomfortable" situations.

| 2 | High-school boys made to stand and apologise for being maleJust more of feminism being used to emotionally abuse boys in the name of empowering girls, what else is new? Then they'll say boys and men have power over girls or women and they're just trying to make them understand what it's like to be female. All of the guilt tripping for traits beyond control and reactions to questioning their beliefs is way too similar for comfort to how fundamentalist christians act when someone thinks for themselves or does something they don't approve of. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 26/03/21 02:34 AM |

At least in the U.S. it seems very rigid and intolerant of deviation. More equal custody rights for fathers who are just as fit and not having the mother assumed to be the better caretaker almost automatically. Unless the mother is very clearly unstable it seems she is almost guaranteed primary custody. Even then there are cases like … | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 18/03/21 03:12 AM |

For one being called cowards for being scared when girls or women wouldn't. An example of that is how historically boys and men were expected to sign up for the draft and seen as cowardly if they didn't want to or dodged it.

Basically, it's silly to expect anyone to give up something that makes them happy and isn't hurting anyone because society says it's "immature". | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 07/03/21 11:53 PM |

| 12 | The phrase "when you're accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression" originated with the men's rights movement. It was in response to people ignoring that men faced systemic disadvantages also.Same with republicans and terfs alike hating trans women because they're just doing it to appropriate femininity or gain access to abuse women. When other more liberal feminists confront that topic it's always because of misogyny 🙄. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 17/02/21 05:51 PM |

Which meant that women were viewed and admired as being perfect and faultless. I once saw a feminist reply to this with "there's no room to move on a pedestal" or something along that line. So you can acknowledge female privilege but only if somehow women are still the victims? After all the times they insisted that men are more valued by society too.

I don't think correlation equals causation on countries with more feminists being less homophobic.

Deep down they know women's issues are lacking so they latch on to gay rights or LGBT issues to stay relevant.

I've frequently seen articles recently calling out gay men for their "misogyny" and saying they still have privilege over women for being men. One of the supposed acts of misogyny in one article was gay men telling straight women to stay out of gay bars. The woman who wrote it said that "women can go where we wan… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 04/01/21 03:19 AM |
| 7 | Pushing the belief that LGBT people and women are on the same sideVery true. Even liberal women can be very racist (and homophobic). Something I unfortunately know too well. It's just trying to pit men vs. women and building women up as more enlightened. Don't even get me started on conservative white women and the things they've done just where I'm from alone. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 04/01/21 02:47 AM |
| 10 | Pushing the belief that LGBT people and women are on the same sideJust that he couldn't dance to music by Beyonce because men don't do that. The examples of male "privilege" were people suddenly finding him funny obviously because he's seen as male or being able to walk home at night without fear and having no worry in the world. That one in particular is from an MTV Laci Green interview of trans men. It all seemed like a stretch to me and I've never experienced any of the issues they claim they or women face everyday. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 04/01/21 02:43 AM |
| 12 | Pushing the belief that LGBT people and women are on the same sideI've seen other trans men being used to push the idea that women don't have equality and have to be afraid of men because we "know what it's like". I even saw one guy bring up something while talking about male "privileges" they gained that anyone truly impartial would have admitted was a double standard against men and boys if they weren't so focused on proving male privilege as fact. Honestly for me it's because I was born "female" but pretty much knew I identified as male and related to other… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 04/01/21 01:47 AM |
| 10 | Pushing the belief that LGBT people and women are on the same sideI know that article was very simple and lacking it was just the most recent in a very long line that I've seen making that point. Not only that, but it communicates to men who don't identify as LGBT that they are outside, not part of the Righteous Community, are not themselves diverse in any way and don't belong among diversity. Yes, that too. It assumes men who aren't LGBT can't have understanding or empathy of other's experiences. From what I've seen their are plenty of men who aren't LGBT who… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 04/01/21 12:10 AM |
| 3 | Republicans are fighting VAWA. My short and sweet take on why that's wrong.Unfortunately, that's not wrong between the pressure among liberals where we have to see it through a lens of women being oppressed and even bringing up men's issues gets you accused of hating women or being republican or you get told "women have it worse". It's depressing and mentally draining that to be "properly" left-wing we can't question that or address men's and boy's issues (at least not without it somehow being made about women) without angry reactions and silencing or dismissive tactic… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 29/12/20 05:27 AM |
| 1 | Is this finally a safe place for progressive men who believe in equity for all? Please help me with advice on my extremist partner.If you really want the relationship to work and love her I would tell her how it hurts that it feels like she doesn't trust or respect you enough to not lump you in with all men or view you as part of the problem no matter what you do or say. You're both adults and if she thinks so little of you that she's blaming you along with all white males and can't see you as someone she eventually will know as well as herself it doesn't sound like a very emotionally healthy relationship. You're supposed t… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 27/12/20 02:29 AM |
| 1 | The myth of medicine being sex biased against women.It reminds me of an article I read where the husband was claiming his experience with how his wife was treated was obvious proof of sexism and doctors taking women's pain less serious. In the article it was made clear the E.R. was very full and he accuses the nurses of being condescending and dismissive for having the bedside manner they're supposed to have. Nothing I saw in it suggests she's being taken less seriously because she's female yet he continuously puts words in the mouths of the nurs… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 23/12/20 02:46 AM |
| 8 | Do you think it's a men's issue that anyone can qualify as a man?I'm also female to male and still consider a lot of my hardships because I identified as male. I'm not even the most masculine but my mom was so obsessed with femininity and having girls not boys she would get upset when I acted even a little out of the role she wanted. I also was upset as a child when I learned boys still had to sign up for the draft at 18. You can't just assume we're all just jumping to being male and skipping the hard parts. I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels like some o… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 22/12/20 03:07 PM |
| 4 | No men allowed in ‘leadership’ programs. Yale under federal investigation for discrimination against men in several programs.You can't recognize intersectionality if it affects males negatively either even when it's obvious, e.g. blacklivesmatter existing but not acknowledging it's largely black men and boys suffering police brutality because no matter what women of every minority group always have it worse. If we start acknowledging issues men and boys face based specifically because of their gender maybe people would start questioning if women really do have it so much worse. I think that's also why they try to rewr… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 16/10/20 03:22 AM |
| 3 | CMV: Equal child custody for mothers and fathers is not taken seriously enough. It should be considered a basic civil rights issue and supported on the basis of gender equality.There's a difference between giving men the right to opt out and men who want to be parts of their kid's lives given equal rights or at least a balance to things. It might be as surprise to you but not everyone wants the same thing. Even when they get shared custody I've seen stories of the mother making it harder for the father by breaking the agreement and he can't do anything. I have a friend who committed suicide and I suspect a large factor in it was his ex-girlfriend holding out on him ove… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 20/09/20 09:02 PM |
| 1 | Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Champion Of Gender Equality, Dies At 87I don't really think that will help anything. Quotas in favor of women are just as weird and unnecessary. Who wants to get hired to fill numbers and wonder if you really deserved the job? It's also insulting to assume people won't hire you because you're part of a certain demographic. Why would you want to flip those policies around to the reverse? | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 20/09/20 08:33 PM |
| 1 | Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Champion Of Gender Equality, Dies At 87It seems to me like there's an imbalance between the issues. It's not that it isn't bad women weren't allowed in the military if they want but when every male 18 and older are forced to sign up for service whether or not they're made for it and called cowards and shamed if they try to opt out, there's a clear discrepancy in seriousness. Maybe it's just too personal for me but it's something I've found upsetting for a long time but it is really horrible/psychologically abusive to condition boys/m… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 20/09/20 08:26 PM |
| 2 | Did anyone watch the 20/20 I Am Vanessa Guillen?That's part of what made me start questioning what feminists say. Especially when they started claiming gay men still have privilege over straight white women because they're still male or that women of minority groups have it worse than men of the same minority groups. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 17/09/20 01:37 AM |
| 1 | Did anyone watch the 20/20 I Am Vanessa Guillen?Yeah, I don't get that one. The fact that it exists contradicts that women are second class citizens. Everything I've seen shows that society will fall over themselves to protect women from harm yet somehow it's necessary to put extra protections for women in place just because of their gender? Nothing I've seen suggests that violence against women is normalized (in first world countries) that we would need that policy in place. I'm not dismissing violence against women happens I just don't get … | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 17/09/20 01:25 AM |
| 3 | Remembering Emmet Till: the racist history behind "always belive the victim".Anyone who claims men are historically believed over women is in denial of history and the power (white) women have over black men/boys especially in those situations. It's willful ignorance to deny how reactionary people were/are to defend women often at all abandonment of reason to push the narrative that women are treated as poorly as or worse than minorities. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 23/08/20 03:08 AM |
| 4 | Since everyone is now talking about female-led countries handling COVID-19 better again...Funny how people claim to want "equality" and believe women can do everything men can are so quick to jump on every little thing to "prove" women are better. You think people who really want equality wouldn't be so obsessed with gender and be this divisive. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 23/08/20 02:37 AM |
| 28 | Terry Crews attacked on TwitterYep, especially since they like to accuse men of always derailing women's issues or only bringing up men's issues when women talk about their issues. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 09/08/20 09:45 PM |
| 3 | Woman who killed boy, was using #killallmen onlineMaybe, I thought it would be clearly sarcasm though because you'd have to be pretty in denial to come here and say that given her history. I used that wording because it's something I consistently see feminists say to brush things off. I'll add the /s though | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 04/08/20 03:01 AM |

| 10 | Woman who killed boy, was using #killallmen online#killallmen is just a joke though and misandry is just hurting men's feelings /s. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 04/08/20 01:33 AM |
