She's not wrong, and having concern for the health of boys is a lot more important than you're giving this article credit for. I also don't think anyone has a right to say something is a "definitive" way to be a man, especially if they advocate for anyone to expose themselves to harm to do it.

There have been studies before 2016 that showed lesbians had higher rates for DV and divorce/separations than any other group.

saying "patriarchy" implies every man is a little bit complicit, but no women never. They've already figured out how to get around this with the term "internalized misogyny" and other phrases that explain how the oppressed supports their own oppression when "they have been made to believe they will benefit from it". And while I don't disagree with the term "internalized (blank)" to talk about the concept of someone who perpetuates a form of bigotry they themselves are a target of, I disagree tha…

You just gave the perfect example for why, in my discussions with this person in two separate places in this post, I conclude that between the issues of class struggle and gender equality, I'd rather solve the problem of feminism before class struggle because then we'd be a stronger force against classism. There is a reason I point out that feminism has been used as a tool by the elites, not because they agree but because it maintains their control.

I think you're missing the broader point here. This is a space to talk about men's rights and advocacy, not class struggles. You're receiving pushback because you're agreeing with the OP who is trying to police this space from its intended focus. As for your question, I would choose resolving the feminism issue because the way I would do it would better unite us in the fight against classism, and taking away a tool of classism that keeps us divided is a better means to resolving class struggles.

I am arguing that focusing on class struggle yields the best result for everyone. That is how you're arguing that a focus on classism is most important when both (as well as other issues) are just as important.

Do you believe feminism has a more negative impact on men and society overall than billionaires? I believe the elites have used feminism as a means to control men and women alike, but even if we deal with class struggles, the social issues caused by feminism will still exist, thus only focusing on one doesn't actually help anyone in the long run.

Feminism was always a tool of classism, doesn't mean we cannot nor shouldn't be critical of it. You brought up the Suffragettes (the original feminists) in another comment, ignoring that they were domestic terrorists, and yet they won, not because the people in power agreed but because it benefited them to. The elites will always use and abuse everyone else, and elites have been in control, of the US at least, far longer than many realize, but that doesn't mean focusing solely on classism will f…

Just because classism is a root cause of systemic sexism, both misandry and misogyny alike, as well as pretty much every other kind of bigotry, doesn't mean we cannot address the ways feminism has been used by the same classist system to harm predominantly men but women as well or talk about men's rights and advocacy generally. We can focus on and talk about multiple issues concurrently, but this space is for men's rights and advocacy, so the only people missing the point is those who want to po…

When I was in middle school, my social studies teacher has everyone do overnight research before his first lesson on the Suffragettes on the definitions of views for equality. When we came in, he asked who labels themselves a feminist, and all the girls raised their hands. Then he asked who labels themselves an egalitarian, and all the boys plus myself (a still closeted trans guy) rose our hands. After the lesson ended, he called me to the desk and asked me why I didn't identify as a feminist. I…

It doesn't help that all forms of communism are easily exploitable for people who crave power. However, feminism has always been problematic and that predates neoliberalism. For instance, adding "trans exclusionary" to radical feminist has just been a clear sign that they are intentionally transphobic because radical feminism is built upon transphobia. And since radical feminism is the cornerstone for present day feminist rhetoric, including the neoliberalism kind, anything based on that is inhe…

By using the analogy from the films, they make the source material relevant when pointing out that some views of the red pill are just hypocritical as feminism. You also are the one who brought up the movie in the first place and have twice related this directly to it, so how is it not relevant?

I never said they did nor that they are the same thing, I simply pointed out the analogy from the Matrix films is a trans allegory to point out how "truth" is not universal. Because feminists would argue their views is the truth, while some red pillers support other kinds of bigotry, but both are often sexist towards men and women alike, albeit in different ways.

Radical feminism. It includes views such as political lesbianism (similar to MGTOW) and most femcels are radfems. The crux of saying this is that original radfem theory is what modern day feminism is built on, which is why it's easier for feminists to "red pill" themselves than it is for men.

Ok, but even framing patriarchy as a classist tool then ignores how much control elite women have and continue to have. They were exceptions to the rules of even the tier below them, they were harsher on the poor than men, and they created the rules that ultimately restricted women's freedoms feminists talk about, with elite men simply doing as ordered. The only way patriarchy is a "fundamental source of social oppression" is because the ones the oppressed saw imposing the oppression were men, b…

Even transfeminism, which is transandrophobic in the same ways that feminism is misandric, doesn't include class struggles except as caused by transmisogyny. While this trans specific feminism cherrypicks from the 60's and 70's feminist rhetoric, it still fails to be critical of itself, namely regarding trans men and masculine nonbinary people.

She conceived of patriarchy as one tool that the economic and political elite used to oppress the majority, not an institution that all men participated in and benefited from. That's just sounds like classism with extra steps. The men being exploited were not the real oppressors and she saw that clearly. If they aren't the oppressors, then how is patriarchy real? Honestly, she just described classism, and part of classist oppression is distracting the poor from recognizing that is the ultimate o…

When Japan does it, especially in anime, it's so viewers only care about the main guy and often only seen in certain genres. It was found if the other guys weren't framed as bad, then they often would have more fans than the MC. In Western media, it's genuine misandry to blame.

I think we're at a point where the toxic influencers like Andrew Tate took the term red-pill from that community and tainted it by using it the way he does. Which is, to me, hilarious given it's a trans allegory and he hates us trans people, but that's a separate issues altogether.

They think claiming they care about men is enough, but they don't realize they're no longer fighting for women's liberation, they are fighting for women's supremacy. Not to say there aren't some women's issues to still fight for in some places and in different ways, but they don't understand that focusing their attention on just women has always come at the expense of others, particularly men. For instance, the fight for abortion rights is about bodily autonomy, but men don't nor has ever had th…

What bothers me most about this is that historically when a ruler is a woman, she often committed more violence than men, and I don't think it can always be claimed to have anything to do with "she had to prove to men she could rule" when men were also constantly trying to overthrow one another. That's just been the nature of being a ruler, someone else wanted the crown, and gender had nothing to do with it.

Probably because they will say trans women when they mean trans women but most of the time they say trans people when they mean trans men. Consider the ability to transition for trans kids, all of that is aimed at trans boys, not trans girls. The talk about surgery on minors is because trans boys are the only ones getting surgeries that young, and it's just top surgery. But that's enough because it's creating "damaged girls" in their view. Just like how hormone blockers don't allow trans boys' b…

Transandrophobia is the trans masc version of transmisogyny, and any other definition or use is itself transandrophobic. The second definition you gave isn't a definition at all but a biased interpretation of transandrophobia that itself is transandrophobic, often coming from those who have a history of transandrophobia. I'm pretty sure you will argue with anything I say for how radical feminism is bio essentialist, but I will say that the beliefs of TERFs is based on the original writings of ra…

I answered your question already: trandfeminism is based on radical feminism, the latter which is bio essentialist. And in my experience, transandrophobia is only considered contradictory to those who have a history of silencing and erasing trans men and masculine people, which is transandrophobia, so take that how you will.

Trying to twist transphobia into pro trans rhetoric is impossible, especially when trans feminist rhetoric is still inherently bio essentialist like the radical feminism it's based upon and often transandrophobic as well.

People of color is a term used around the world and predates the founding of the US. Also, I'm certain the context of the image in question is US based issue, making race very relevant.

This is very likely explicitly being said from the POV of queer POC, who's experiences are never going to be like cishet white men, the people they get compared to, including POC women.

Sounds more like you don't understand the long history of homophobia around the world and how it has effected society at large, or how fighting homophobia is very definitely part of left wing politics and male advocacy. It isn't "reactionary", "divisive", "doomerism", nor feeding into "black pill" to give a name to an issue or talk about homophobia, which largely effects men more than anyone else.

The answer is homophobia, because homosexuality for men was illegal in most of the world (still is in some places) but rarely illegal for women. (Not to say women weren't still penalized in a way by the law and society, it just was most common for the upper class than others.) The legal status of gay men is also why lesbians took control of the queer rights movement.

I highly doubt heterosexual women aren't abused by other women (ex girlfriends/wives) that cannot be considered domestic violence since they wouldn't be in that situation were it not for being with the same man as the other women.

As said elsewhere in this post by u/AbysmalDescent: There is no "patriarchy". What feminists call patriarchy is literally just women imposing gender roles onto men to act like their fathers. And, if women are the ones imposing those roles, then it's not imposed onto women by force either. It's an oxymoron. So no, women don't participate because if they did, then it isn't based on men being the oppressors. What is really oppressing us all is classism and capitalism.

Streep justifies her sexism against men by saying that she was mirroring her experiences with men throughout her career in Hollywood.

Yeah, not only do you bisexual cis men have to deal with misandry but also biphobia inside and outside the queer community.

At this point, misandry from trans women is internalized transphobia and/or transandrophobia. They are projecting their dysphoria onto cis and/or trans men, the latter often because they cannot fathom why we "want" to be men, but don't anyone dare claim they "want" to be women.

So second wave feminism, which still exists today as radical feminism.

Women in real life also talk about other women in their friend group behind their backs, and in my experience as a trans man who's been in both situations, women are often more vicious in that way then men are about their so-called friends. Yet those same women claim that men are just worst overall, as if they way they treat other women doesn't count, but they'll count when men talk badly about other men as a negative towards all men.

My point is that equality, however well intentioned to not leave anyone behind, has always left people behind. That is even a tangential purpose of this entire subreddit, to discuss the ways correcting equality efforts for women has left men behind. It's a reason many disability advocates prefer a focus on equity over equality, not just for the disabled but for everyone, because it focuses on needs over the majority and minority dynamic equality works off.

I was thinking about the differences in multiple EU countries, where those that focus on equity tend to do better with disability aid than those that focus on equality, think Norway against the UK on the matter.

The first part of your last paragraph is exactly why equity over equality should be the goal, because equality is, as you defined it, "equal opportunity, equal treatment by the law, equal standards of behavior, and equal consequences for violating those standards of behavior".

Yes and no.

Normal levels of testosterone do not make men more aggressive, only high levels do, which is commonly known as "roid rage", since it happens most often with steroid use, since if a man were to just be taking only extra testosterone unnecessarily, his body would convert the extra into estrogen, but extra steroids inhibits that natural response, elevating T levels.

So they see gender roles as inherently fixed?

As a disabled activist, I am extremely educated about the history of ableism.

Are you a trans man? I don't want to assume but it is relevant here. As a trans man who passes as a cis man, I find that unless you understand transphobia, especially being the victim of it, that it is hard to explain how it changes the way misandry effects us.

Honestly, no, us trans men can never truly understand the physical damage because we'll never be put in that same situation. Even FGM isn't a perfect 1:1 to MGM, in the case of a trans man who faced that. Just because we develop a micro penis and it has foreskin doesn't mean anything because we're adults who will never be forced into undergoing the same horrific procedure cis guys and trans women went through.

While the physical damage is absolutely an important thing to bring up, the reason consent (and bodily autonomy) are and should be brought forward first is because it's an understandable concept. Only cis men and trans women will understand the physical damage aspect inside Western individualism, but cis women and trans men understand the concept of consent and bodily autonomy.

Yes, but since some trans men don't believe misandry is real (because they fell for feminist bullshit), the term transandrophobia was decided the best because it avoids the distracting arguments on misandry.

Transandrophobia is a unique type of transphobia trans men experience, similarly with transmisogyny for trans women, and my experiences relayed from after transitioning fall under transandrophobia while also highlighting misandry elsewhere in society. The only time I experience misandry for being a man is when people don't know I'm trans, which is usually only with strangers.

Forcing abortions onto women is wrong, even if she raped a man to get pregnant.

I've found any conversation about "male/female socialization" only has a place in trans spaces and, even then, can devolve into bio essentialism too easily.

Methodology, whether changed or is flawed overall, is often the biggest reason for these kinds of concerning "trends". This reminds of how the rape of men has been listed as "other sexual violence" by the CDC in their breakdown of domestic and sexual violence studies so that it comes out that women are over 90% of DV & SA victims, but once the rates for men are properly compared to women, both are just over 40% each, and this has been the true outcome for at least just over the last decade.

From my main response to this post: [...] postgenderism is a radical feminist invention, from those later identified as trans exclusionary, who created the theory as a means of female supremacy.

While anecdotal, being transgender has given me a unique perspective of both sex and gender. I knew at 3 years old they were different. Certainly connected, but still different. And it’s because of that that I firmly believe gender roles are the only thing socially constructed. Sure, those can influence how people perceive themselves, but that doesn’t negate that neither sex nor gender are constructs, social or otherwise.

The biggest issue with the phrase is that gender isn’t the social construct, gender roles are. And since gender roles can be toxic, that means there is such a thing as toxic femininity in opposition to toxic femininity.

I know, I was just letting you know how trans women would view this. Also consider than when a term like misandry is used towards trans women, it invites transphobes to misgender them, just as using misogyny towards trans guys does the same, especially by terfs. There is another reason terms like transmisogyny and transandrophobia exist, they are intended to facilitate discussion into how trans people face sexism and transphobia often at the same time, since we face different levels of misogyny …
/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates18/04/25 10:24 PM

Absolutely, however, because they are women, trans women consider it misgendering to refer to the type of sexism they face as misandry, since they do in fact face misogyny too, hence the term transmisogyny.
/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates16/04/25 06:11 PM

Everything you hear from TERFs is based on the foundations of feminist academia, and feminists have long treated gay men more harshly under the guise that they should be allies to their “feminine” nature, IE being gay. Feminists are also notoriously lesbophobic, ignoring the rate of domestic and sexual violence in the lesbian community because it disproves their biggest claims that women cannot be perpetrators of such things.

Feminism, especially academically, is built on transphobia, misandry, and racism, with equal measures of benevolent homophobia, lesbophobia, and misogyny. And no matter how critical academic feminists have been of the racism, transphobia, homo/lesbophobia, and misogyny (benevolent or otherwise), they still push the foundational readings filled with those things and are not sufficiently critical of any of it.

He argued he had a right to dehumanize others because he doesn’t agree with other people making choices about themselves, and he argued that he should be allowed to know his students assigned sex at birth so he could misgender them, not just respecting people’s gender and pronouns if they came out after he’d already met them.

The US conservative mindset is based on a rigid mindset towards both men and women alike, and feminists never seem to understand that if they mean it when they claim to care about men, they wouldn’t only push back against the conservative narrative towards women, but also towards men.

Similar to how black kids are treated in the US. Black boys and girls are treated by-and-large like adults once they hit puberty, and once white boys hit about 16-17, they get treated like adults too.

Sort of. With boys, it usually gets said to them when they are expressing emotions, implying that grown up don’t do that, but if it is said during specific circumstances, it’s simply conditioning the child on how adults are expected to act or not act, not that they, a child, are necessarily expected to be grown up.

The moment we say that cis men have legit concerns, we are accused of suffering internalized misogyny (if they never truly accept we’re men) or that we’re just misogynists (if they do accept we’re men).

The reason people say those things to trans guys is because there is less research of testosterone on AFAB trans masculine people compared to estrogen on AMAB trans feminine people. It’s a long known issue in the trans community that there is a sociopolitical and medical bias towards trans feminine people over trans masculine people, but when is trans masc try saying anything, we get told all the same shit men get told, to shut up and focus on women, or in this case trans femmes.

You do realize that men being required to sign up for Selective Service in the US or compulsory military service in various other countries (except Israel, where women are equally required) and, if refused, face life long penalties or jail time is a violation of bodily autonomy, right? No one should be forced to risk their body for the defense of their country without enthusiastic consent, regardless of gender.

While I understand where you’re going with this, but TERFs absolutely do view trans men as a threat. In “appropriating” masculinity, we mimic the threat they see cis men as, and we are also a threat in how we “reject” womanhood, which they view as sacred. This is, again, one of the ways that trans men’s issues are overshadowed by the preference to focus on trans women’s issues.

Intentionally misgendering trans people’s gender falls in line with hating their gender, so for trans women, it’s misogyny. Just because there is misandry involved in their misgendering due to them insisting on treating trans women as cis men doesn’t change that misogyny is involved, hence why the term is transmisogyny. It is intentionally telling you it’s different from just misogyny or misandry. And that trans men get brushed off or ignored doesn’t show a natural higher animosity to trans wome…

When do terfs talk about cis people? All the time.

Except TERF ideology is based in rigid patriarchal stereotypes of sex and gender, thus exhibiting both misandry and misogyny, depending on what they are talking about.

For feminists to recognise that men have been oppressed for thousands of years, they need to understand that the patriarchy they harp about is a front for and we only need intersectionality for recognizing other axis of oppression like sexism, racism, and ableism that still exist under the shadow of the real boogeyman, classism.

The legal system is not society at large, and my point has always been that misogyny still exists even beyond these kinds of systemic issues.

They would say the same about body shaming of women, and yet the majority of those complaints are about things women do have some control over or women ignore the men who don't complain about those things because they don't fit boxes like being tall or having the right car or funds to "treat their woman right".

You realise that is the same argument made against abortion rights for women?

We currently live in a time where, upon birth and unwed, the child does solely belong to the mother no matter who she names as the father on the birth certificate, so I don't know where you got the idea we've moved past that.

No one is saying that. The point, however, is that men should not be forced to support a child they don't want anything to do with if a woman decide to carry the child to term.

I have been saying this for YEARS and one major change for women is that they would have to name the father before birth, which would actually help the process on paperwork for newborns as well. Of course there should also be a process that if the mother claims a man is the father and he contests that claim instead sighing his rights away, she is legally bound to do a paternity test so some guy isn't randomly signing rights away to a child that isn't his.

You're right, con man Jonathan McIntosh very much knows very little about the sexual dysmorphism of humans, that neither are "dominant" in any sense one could try to make (this statement is referring to how many are in "positions of power" but ignore that women are the primary voters in the US sort of thing), and has, since this tweet was made under the guise of being from his then girlfriend Anita Sarkeesian, drank his own kool-aid and now honestly sprouts this bigoted narrative as "facts".

It's rather late to do that, this tweet is at least 3-4 years old now, and it was reported then because this came out during the height of #gamergate. It remained up through that and likely will continue to because the people who own Twitter agree with this ass-backwards "logic".
