4	Why men don't go to therapy I can finally be of help with some insight (I suppose all anecdotal but oh well), where I've tried both therapy and the AMC (Andy's Man Club) I've tried about 6-7 therapists over the course of idk 10-15 years. I started because my parents noticed there was something off about me that I didnt feel like I could rely on them to understand what I was going through and then well later on I wanted some sound advice. I kept dropping out because it felt like my problem/situation didnt reach the person I…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	14/05/26 07:52 PM
10	Here is an interesting - and arguably rare - example of a scholar labeling herself as feminist approaching an aspect of male sexuality and identity in (what I would argue is) a supportive and male-positive way Very refreshing to see empathic curiosity towards men. I'd say even more so given it comea from a feminist, but that would probably? reinforce the idea they're all terrible. No surprise though, it is heavily influenced by the culture, education and type of person. Sidetracking a bit, food for thought the homosocial aspects mentioned in the article. I think largely the ability to "get/have a gf/wife" is an unnoticed pressure for each man within such a group (and really for women too in theirs). D…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	10/04/26 09:24 AM
12	The most annoying thing about the male loneliness epidemic conversations, is the fact that the Left or feminists usually hate the alternative (that doesn't involve women) to the male loneliness epidemic. All I need is MGTOW to turn into BrosGTOW and I'll be happy. Bromance ftw :) #ThanksForComingToMyTEDTalk	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	08/04/26 01:36 PM
2	Dramas Keep Showing Us Hapless Men — and Hypercompetent Women (NYTimes) Gotta say this is really cool to hear and talk about, scratches the itch for intellectual talk :)	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	19/01/26 05:15 PM
2	Dramas Keep Showing Us Hapless Men — and Hypercompetent Women (NYTimes) Just curious, is that applicable to most people? I was going to say 'all' but I think that's impossible. Reason is, I'd probably feel irritated if someone came with counterpoints, but would feel motivated to try and justify my stance or give up on the part of it which I no longer agree with. Or is it that motivation to "fight back" just fueling a desire to be right and so they double down on the path they're on? I think this would be the most impressive thing for me to learn from psychology, how…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	19/01/26 03:23 PM
3	Dramas Keep Showing Us Hapless Men — and Hypercompetent Women (NYTimes) Thanks for the reply! Yeah, I guess I do get quite confrontational quite easily, because of how annoying is to see someone present themselves as so categorically right and righteous and justified (all while being a victim too, of the bloody Patriarchy nonetheless!!) but who also seemingly refuse to reason. I never got good at carrying enough facts to have them laid out whenever needed, almost like bits of informations that would challenge their narrative and leave it at that. I suppose if it eve…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	19/01/26 02:47 PM
6	Dramas Keep Showing Us Hapless Men — and Hypercompetent Women (NYTimes) I share your fear in that it seems the truth is shoehorned to fit whatever agenda is desired and if a cyber dystopia wont cause our downfall then fighting to keep the objective truth alive might take its place. Since you're sharing the concern, any thoughts on how does one fight it? At the low immediate level of friends, family and peers? I've got 3 female friends who would swear by feminism, in all the "poor women, men are terrible" vibe, where everything they suffer is at the hand of sexism an…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	19/01/26 12:24 PM
16	I dont care if women dont "feel" safe. This infuriates me so much! Like it's the wildest concept to me to expect to be safe walking alone at night. I was once walking with 2 couples (him&her x2) at night, just friends in the city, and one of the girls complained how it's not safe walking alone at night and how some female instagram (streamer? I dont follow social media dont know who or if that's a thing) was walking alone (does live feeding count?? - anyway either live feed or alone and posted about it afterwards) at night in a fucki…	/r/MensRights	22/12/25 08:15 PM

1	The death of the male role model I was reading through the comment hoping it would end mentioning there is some much treasured guidance to be found in there, guess this fool won't stop hoping. Thanks for the comment though, I'll check out the series, maybe something somehow clicks. Just now thinking, in a way I feel like finding someone similarly lost would be better than dealing with this alone	/r/MensRights	25/09/25 05:42 PM
9	The death of the male role model Man wtf this hits home on so many levels. I've been aware of its effects on me for almost 20 years now and while it's great to feel seen and understood (finally!!) he seems to miss out on the biggest crux. I (We?) don't know how to embody the king, that's the actual problem (I'm guessing once you're aware of it, which is quite a journey in itself too). I keep bumping into this idea of becoming the man I've always needed as a father figure, my question is how??? This suggestion feels almost like …	/r/MensRights	24/09/25 09:27 AM
9	An actual good video about masculinity. I watched Invincible and really liked the show, didn't necessarily pay that much attention to the way masculinity is portrayed in there, but this video made the show that much more impressive to me, especially for looking for male role models, which is particularly useful to me	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	28/03/25 11:09 AM
8	Jason Isaacs, star of Harry Potter and recently the HBO series White Lotus, comments on the gendered double standard of exposing genitalia on camera.

4	Woman "mansplains" how my algorithm works to me I was told by "victims" of this "mansplaining" that it happens when a man kind of tries to one-up the knowledge about something (sometimes whether the "victim" needs it or not). Now I can see how that would be annoying and how maybe in a technical environment you'd find more men and so more likely for it to be a man doing this. In other environments you could find women doing the same and we'd merely find that a bad/toxic attitude. But to jump the gun that it is done exclusively by men to women …	/r/MensRights	05/09/24 06:01 PM
13	Sextortion: The hidden crisis killing our boys I might be coming from a different angle here, but I feel like there's quite a bit of naivety at play here and I'm not blaming boys for this but rather the differences in education they receive for some dangers which affect both girls/boys. I hear quite often how women complain they're not safe to walk alone at night and one of the reasons is that most likely this fear, or maybe precaution, was instilled in the woman, when she was a girl, by her mother, so when she grew up she knew to be more ca…	/r/MensRights	19/04/24 05:42 PM
1	The loss of men's spaces, and who it hurts most. I think you're adding an interesting perspective, have you got some thoughts/suggestion regarding understanding whether the personal discomfort is something which can be fixed by the person or through a relationship of some sort? Or an article/book about this? I have been relying on friendships to meet my emotional needs and not only has that been unsuccesful I also think there might be some personal development I could benefit from. Although, in all honesty even said personal development would …	/r/MensRights	03/02/24 11:08 PM
6	The loss of men's spaces, and who it hurts most. I think this might be the post that resonates the most closely with me, so much that it managed to get a delighted (ironically maybe) smile out of me amidst the boring scrolling. For what feels like forever, I have always been looking for this friendship and bond, all these motives for men to get together and be/feel like brothers (I personally think due to a lack of male presence as a child, but I guess I cannot know for sure). However male friendship seems largely disregarded as a thing in men…	/r/MensRights	02/02/24 06:57 PM
3	End of (male) cultural romanticism - now what? I think this drive for more freedom is so prone to being a curse in disguise. Building upon your pointing out the (somewhat) extremes of less freedom (but more clarity!) and more freedom (but less clarity), my theory (or opinion) is that a somewhat defined middle ground is the way to go (I suppose quite obviously so maybe?), where some/most (or the good parts if possible) parts of traditional values are kept (thinking that at least the good parts formed organically throughout the years based on …	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	06/01/24 12:33 PM
1	Amsterdam launches stay away ad campaign targeting young British men – BBC News Totally agree MRM is better, because I think there's more clarity in the movement about both sexes having their issues and that for a better and fair world we'd need both to thrive and not just either of the two. To some extent, feminism will seemingly claim that too, but then prove their intentions are not quite the same, when they go and push for some more bullshit quotas in developed/richer countries. I think MRM groups also allow for a teeny tiny bit more debate, which is better than bashing…	/r/MensRights	01/04/23 10:25 PM
1	Amsterdam launches stay away ad campaign targeting young British men – BBC News It seems to me it's one of the cases where the sub finds men and their rights to be victims when that's not necessarily the case. It's a tad disappointing and ironic because this is where the Men's Rights movement was supposed to be better/more accurate than feminism, by recognising when something is truly against men as a group, rather than clinging on any opportunity to claim men are specifically targeted, and also by trying to calm down the war between men and women that feminism started?/enc…	/r/MensRights	01/04/23 10:10 PM

I am merely trying to describe what I think the ad is against, that being disorderly British men, and not British men who son't make a mess of themselves or any man going there for sex/drugs that can behave.

1	How chat gpt responds when asking for a joke about women vs a joke about men I know I know, what I meant was the bullshit defensive answer from ChatGPT regarding making a joke about women. Besides that, the joke about men is ironically a joke, because it's just so bland, cautious and generic. I played around with ChatGPT and to no surprise it's boringly political.	/r/MensRights	12/02/23 06:07 PM

2	LWMA Need to Fight & Address Suburban Sprawl/Car-Dependent Infrastructure to Significantly Mitigate/Resolve Male Loneliness I have had a decent share over the years, but it seems the friendships do not match the importance of the romantic relationship with a woman and so the friendship ends up waning in time.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	09/01/23 10:46 AM
4	LWMA Need to Fight & Address Suburban Sprawl/Car-Dependent Infrastructure to Significantly Mitigate/Resolve Male Loneliness I'd also love some promoters of male-male friendships, if only bromance was any more meaningful to men and wasn't hijacked as a sexual fetish by some.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	09/01/23 10:21 AM
3	Silence is not agreement. Well I would argue that an extreme feminist agenda or an (extreme) gender identity agenda would look to go exactly there, more so the latter I'd say than the former. I'm not quite sure what the bigger goal is, but they seek to get something out of erasing the differences between what makes men men and women women, especially by playing on the whole sex vs gender dichotomy. I appreciate this might get downvoted, but if we are to admit or agree that men and women truly are different and that that'…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	27/10/22 05:15 PM
2	Who decides how we measure equality? I agree that CEOs might actually be chosen based on competencies, which is great, I think it's what essentially matters. What I take issue with is this push for 50-50 or more of [insert more or less wannabe minority here] in positions of power, or especially only in positions of power.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	24/10/22 12:07 PM

2	Who decides how we measure equality? I sure hope that's the case more so than it seems with this corporate and equality talk. I was slightly touching on the note in the post expressing there should be more women as CEOs. I have no problem with anyone being CEO or whichever position as long as they have been chosen for that position for their capabilities and not for their sex or race. But we've been trying to change that so we please this bullshit equality desire. I get that the experience as a woman or man can have some importance…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	24/10/22 11:07 AM

24	As a young man in his twenties, I've found that no one really cares for you, not even your parents. You and only you are your ultimate caretaker. While I understand this is your experience, which can appreciate it is truly sad, I think maybe the title and message of the post is a bit too generalised. Yes, there will be people, close even, who will not care about you, but the focus should be on finding those who will truly care about you and limiting the impact on you of those who don't care about you.	/r/MensRights	08/09/22 10:26 AM

1	As a girl One of the problems with feminism is how it wants to completely remove anything about the traditional roles and the fools buying in on that miss out on the big effing point that that's how we got this far and that some of those traditional roles are biologically embedded. Now if you want to live as a single woman and not raise children, fine, but don't push other women to do that too.

2	As a girl Yeah Men's Rights got a really bad reputation for shedding light on the reality that men have problems in society too but way too often get overlooked or taken for granted and combined with criticism towards feminism for catering only to the tip of the iceberg, i.e. pushing more women into well paid sectors, the ones that are in the office mind you, while leaving out the actual girls and women who needed help with rights to education, you can see why Men's Rights has been seen as the evil moveme…	/r/MensRights	19/08/22 11:58 PM

14	The destruction of MCU phase 1 Avengers is almost done. The problem here is not that there are strong female superheroes, but that their strength is portrayed as merely and simply replacing the previous male superhero. It's the same bullshit agenda of pushing "minorities" into movies/shows but with no other trait than being a minority, which only encourages this diseased mentality of "I am minority, everyone should bend over backwards to my needs"	/r/MensRights	29/07/22 11:02 PM
1	If feminist notions of equity as preferable to equality were also applied to the gender earnings gap, then shouldn't men deserve to be paid more? Fair take, just confused about how it's come down to have equity be the 'less good' thing and equality the better one - just an honest confusion since I have been under the impression, perhaps wrongly so, that equity was the ''better'' one, although seeing how it's becoming picked up by feminists, it might just be the thing we should instead move away from. I think the take makes sense, I just would like it better if we could fix the cause, i.e. the actual inequality between the sexes, rather th…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	10/07/22 10:43 AM

And funnily enough, in two different countries, the same approach gets applied, I guess they just rely on this fixed approach to make it easier for them to teach and mark (one could argue there could be a political reason too, but that would end up being quite the conspiracy theory) Yeah, I'd hate to have to go down…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	14/06/22 08:52 PM

3	HSC: Boys falling far behind girls in high school certificate and at university Hmm I think the argument can go two ways. On the one hand, I think it's good to teach people, and here I mean both men of women, of the intricacies of an adult life in a society, so as to make them aware in an attempt to prepare them for the hardships. The other side of the coin is, are we (or I guess were we) mature enough at that age to fully grasp the seriousness of matters such as world wars, post-apocaliptic societies and such. I think rape is somewhat closer in the sense that some of the t…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	14/06/22 06:37 PM

I used to go 100% respect for everyone and that was not only tiring but also naive and had me disappointed too frequently.

2	Everything is Infected with Brain Worms Oh sure yeah, it was more of a generic ponder, rather than a challenge, I do agree that because of the nature of the work and given the context of its inception it would make sense to be less prone to woke shite, but wokeness wouldn't properly represent a disease if it didn't touch everything and anything. Maybe if it finally crumbles under its own stupidity in these domains, we can finally see a way out - just hope it doesn't take decades.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	11/05/22 07:32 PM
3	Everything is Infected with Brain Worms This is the same bullshit as with the gender pay gap, where you get thrown in the face big ass numbers that hide the context to a different reality.

However, it is for this exact reason that I think we should keep challenging them and trying to reveal that their view is distorted. I know sometimes they are so stuck in their world, maybe they even want that because of the sob story they can rely on to gain benefits, that it seems like fighting a losing battle, but I would at least try.

2	Interesting Conversation At Work Today To be honest, what irks me most is these men that become allies of any flying shite just to ''be by their side'' while instead they only crave for the attention and validation of women and possibly for the lower lips.

Come to think of it, it must happen to both sexes but I guess I can more easily relate to mine.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	28/04/22 03:31 PM

I have been feeling and saying that this constant association of 'toxic' and 'masculinity' is nothing but a disservice towards men and their betterment (unless that is indeed the goal) so I am glad to see this be picked up and talked about.

2	Scottish ad conflating giving complements with sexual violence I think it varies wildly really. I think most 'lads' don't really like taking no for an answer from a lady that they find attractive and usually insisting makes it much worse. It also matters incredibly how you approach her - there is quite a difference between 'I do one shot then you do one shot' and 'Would you like me to buy you a drink?'.

1	College student mocked for complaining about 'cisgender men' who installed radiators in his room I think it should only be fair to expect that diversity would make things less homogenous because well there are a lot of differences and I think these differences are even harder to circumvent when there are many differences and there are few to no similarities or common grounds (e.g. when one is hired because of their colour/sex and not because of their knowledge/abilities) I think for this kind of dilemma of more diversity vs more similarity the balanced approach should be the way to go, alth…	/r/MensRights	21/10/21 11:36 AM

No, we want more vagina-owners to have a say and be rich, doesn't matter if they are qualified or not, need 50% 50% distribution between vaginas and penises in an…	/r/MensRights	20/10/21 06:09 PM

I do agree with and also dislike how oblivious we have become of or how feminists and progressives choose to disregard the fact that our society is at this level because of how many sacrifices there have been made by men and more often than not with their health and lives as well. And I'm not saying this as a 'man good woman bad' thing, but rather as an acknowledgement of the fact that our society has started, evolved and grown up to be successful by using…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	05/10/21 02:54 PM

I'm so sick and tired of this duality that men have to devote their entire lives and time to be allies, even though I thought they wanted to be/were independent and 'needed no man', but if men have issues and need women's help, "ah pff you're a man, you can handle yourself" or even worse "how dare you have more serious problems than me AND mention them as counter-arguments to me"	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	05/10/21 11:01 AM

A fantastic, thorough and insightful article on attempting to identify cults and how to, again, attempt to free someone from such a radicalization. I am quite happy about the bottom line, that I could pick up anyway, which said that you can get all the high moral ground you so crave for by being in the middle and having a balanced approach to things and society.

I think it varies quite wildly because there is a lot of context that could change the reason of the touch starvation and the reason why we crave it with who we crave it. Before I go on a slightly opposing idea (I'd say it is adjacent or parallel, but can seem opposing), I can totally understand your idea that the touch starvation is part of a romantic starvation, although we here again find ourselves being shortsighted because taking into consideration more situations, as you rightly pointed, t…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	26/09/21 11:29 AM

It might just be that you are experiencing your first bromance, which is, despite the closeted desires of many fetishists, a non-sexual relationship between 2 (or more) men. It's a more advanced kind of friendship, where you actively care about each other, kind of like being brothers, hence the 'bro' in it.

It's become such an ideological dictatorship where anything about gender, race, sexuality cannot be contested anymore and we have to just accept nonsense after nonsense.

Men are forced to come forward as allies because if they don't their 'loyalty' or 'attitude' get questioned and ridiculed if they stand up for themselves. Also, might be the bitter me talking now, but I wouldn't be surprised if some were buying into all this shit just to get laid, after all haven't men been taught for centuries now that they are just some sexual beasts, how can some even think of themselves as anything different.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	31/05/21 09:50 AM

Like how does the gender make enough of a trait to make an employee more capable at doing their job than actual knowledge/experience, it's pathetic and depressing that we've reached this point and we only double down in this di…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	31/05/21 09:40 AM

If agreed, abuse directed at women would be treated more seriously than comparable crimes against men, and could even lead to tougher sentences in the courts. As though men can/should take abuse because they are men and can take the hit.

2	To Fathers with sons: how do you prepare them for adulthood? While I agree with the part of explaining there is always support in the family as an all-safe fallback, my humble suggestion would be to aim for the middle ground between sheltering him completely and terrorizing him. In that, terrorizing him, as you mentioned, will instill fear and paranoia to exaggerated levels, but also sheltering him from any hardship is quite likely to turn him into someone who is overly reliable on others and he will always depend on someone else's input when making a dec…	/r/MensRights	31/10/20 07:23 PM

However, what this is or should be about is not giving up on our rights and equity when feminism pushes it that way.
