| -14 | What is happening to this sub?I agree, this sub is slowly transitioning from a place to discuss mens issues to a place to complain about women. I rarely want to join the discussions in here anymore because of this. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 08/02/24 10:32 PM |
| 60 | What's the Focus of Menslib?The thing that I find weirdest about that sub is that it doesnt seem to have many men in it. If you check the user overlap on the sub and see what other subs users post in, it suggests the membership is mostly women. I don't even understand how that happens. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 18/08/23 06:56 AM |
| 1 | AntinatalismI think of it a little differently myself. Consider that the overwhelming majority of people experience a significantly net positive experience through their existence, in spite of the asymmetrical nature of pleasure and pain. These don't need to be experienced as literal pleasure and pain, we can consider those words as stand ins for positive and negative experiences in a lot of situations. We see that the overwhelming majority routinely choose to continue their existence, and do not wish that … | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 12/08/23 01:54 PM |
| 10 | AntinatalismWhat does it actually fix though? At best you can say that those who might potentially have suffered do not, but nothing would actually be addressed or materially improved for those that do exist. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 11/08/23 05:24 AM |
| 4 | Why does the man that moves out after a breakup or divorce?This is really good advice, I've seen 2 friends now get completely screwed by this whilst they were acting in good faith, and it's just devastating. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 13/04/23 01:47 PM |
| 11 | The Great Misunderstanding of IntersectionalityOn reddit at least I more often see intersectionality used as a bludgeon or to provide moral authority for the perpetuation of hate and discrimination of the commenter than as a tool to examine disadvantage or oppression, so it’s refreshing to see someone start a topic without that rhetoric. To bring that back more directly to the topic, is the tool the problem or just how people seek to apply it? I often find myself wondering, how do you combat someone using a tool incorrectly if they and other… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 06/03/23 10:34 PM |
| 9 | Books with subtle male struggle themesThis is something that’s been rattling around in my brain lately as I’m watching my kids grow. I’ve found lots of good options for my daughter but it’s much slimmer pickings for my son. One that has a special place in my heart from my own childhood is The Once And Future King, particularly the first part of the book as Arthur struggles with his identity and the expectations, conflicts and responsibilities thrust upon him. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 24/02/23 11:07 PM |
| 14 | What do you love about being a man?Our sense of humour. In my experience it’s completely different to my female friends and the partners of my male friends. There’s a subtlety, timing and relatability to it that is just fundamentally different with women and that I find more engaging. I know plenty of funny women, but the people who consistently make me laugh the hardest are my male friends. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 29/11/22 08:30 PM |
| 15 | I think this is a better Men’s Day than past onesNo I actually think you’re right. I saw this posted in another subreddit once and was so fascinated I kept it. It seems that most of the membership of menslib are actually women. https://subredditstats.com/subreddit-user-overlaps/menslib | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 20/11/22 09:13 AM |
| 5 | A recent experience with the gender empathy gap and its potential for unseen impactThat's awful man, but thank you for sharing that. I wonder if perhaps its effect on him meant that he couldn't process what he was seeing, and mentally fell back on the only way he could rationalise what was happening as a sort of panic response? I wish we had some psychologists in here who could explain that sort of thing. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 11/11/22 09:28 AM |
| 3 | A recent experience with the gender empathy gap and its potential for unseen impactThat’s a really interesting topic to explore. I wonder which one influences the other more? Does popular culture have a greater impact on expectations for behaviour, or do patterns of behaviour influence popular culture more because people find it generally more relatable? I’m sure it cuts both ways in a bit of a feedback loop to some degree | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 11/11/22 03:11 AM |
| 4 | A recent experience with the gender empathy gap and its potential for unseen impactA great question, and I’m not sure I can adequately answer it. Option a) is essentially what I have the experience with and in a strange way find more… comfortable… I guess you might say, much like yourself. I’d definitely prefer indifference to negativity or hostility at least and with so little experience with the possibility of support like that I might struggle with processing it properly. It’s a good question. That right there is part of what troubles me, realising that not only are you mis… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 11/11/22 03:04 AM |
| 5 | A recent experience with the gender empathy gap and its potential for unseen impactMate, my heart goes out to you. That's my biggest fear in the world. However it might have been then, know that I'm thinking of you and wishing some measure of peace on you now. And you're right about sharing these stories, as vulnerable as it can make us feel. Stories like yours can have such power to shape and influence people and their perspectives, sometimes more than data or research can. I hope you're in as good a place as you can be now. Thanks for sharing that. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 10/11/22 12:17 PM |
| 3 | A recent experience with the gender empathy gap and its potential for unseen impactYeah, I hear you. That's part of the resiliency aspect I wondered about, is it passively exercising our resiliency like some sort of muscle? Or does it have the opposite effect for some reason? | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 10/11/22 11:49 AM |
| 6 | A recent experience with the gender empathy gap and its potential for unseen impactWow. This is a pretty decent summary of a thread I was involved in over the last few days over on worldnews. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 10/11/22 05:00 AM |
| 5 | A recent experience with the gender empathy gap and its potential for unseen impactThanks friend, little one is all back to normal now, she just needs to stay home for a few more days. I'm not sure how to broach the topic with my partner now to be honest though. Emotional expression isn't always my greatest strength. I suspect more than anything it would just upset her, and I suspect it's something she's never really considered as different between genders. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 10/11/22 04:55 AM |
| 25 | A recent experience with the gender empathy gap and its potential for unseen impactThanks for sharing man. I think it's interesting to consider from your story how much of our ability to develop emotional intelligence and express our emotions healthily is likely developed by being able to reflect back the empathy we receive from others, like learning to speak. So it seems likely that if there's a deficit like we see from the empathy gap, there's going to be less opportunities to develop those skills and capabilities and many of us will be left with that void of personal expres… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 10/11/22 01:45 AM |
| 21 | Anyone else tired of this?There’s no need to imagine that unfortunately, it happens almost every time. I hate that “attempts” statistic that is so often quoted. I found it coming up so often in those conversations I felt compelled to look into it deeper. When i started researching it, it felt almost like it’s been intentionally crafted to be misleading, partly because a completed suicide obviously won’t be able to record subsequent attempts, and partly because of the broad spectrum of what is actually considered a suicid… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 08/11/22 09:04 PM |
| 3 | Feminist SuppressionThat sounds like Earl Silverman. Not sure if it went down exactly like that but sounds very similar to what happened to him | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 07/11/22 02:48 PM |
| 8 | Feminist SuppressionNot sure about there being wide spread incidences of this but this sounds like the Earl Silverman case https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earl_Silverman | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 07/11/22 02:48 PM |
| 6 | The role of women in promoting voluntary medical male circumcision uptake: Literature reviewPoint taken, and I wish people weren't downvoting you here because it's worth discussing. That said, I don't think this study has any real level of male advocacy in mind. The study itself is centred around determining the most effective methods by which women can convince their romantic partners to undertake the procedure and the potential benefits to women, health and otherwise. That really undercuts the focus on it being a voluntary procedure for me. What was particularly revealing was that so… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 16/09/22 05:21 AM |
