-1	Quote of the Day: Karen Straughan “being left wing doesn’t mean you support marxism” can you explain what school of socialist thought in particular does not interact heavily with karl marx? karl marx is to critical theory and frankly leftism what abraham is to the bible. even his contemporary detractors drew heavily on his economic theory. it’s not a no true scotsman fallacy because i never said anything about ‘true’ ‘real’ ‘genuine’ or ‘authentic’ socialism. i mean, you could hypothetically be a socialist without being a marxis…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	29/04/26 11:34 PM
-2	Quote of the Day: Karen Straughan but… your politics are relevant. we are having a political discussion. you’re also arguing my own point with regards to empiricism: empiricism is subjective in that the scientist decides what to study and how, even within the scientific method. for centuries the standard ‘human’ as studied by science has been a caucasian male body of average weight and height, for example. for example, the female somatosensory cortex (how we understand the brain maps the body) was only fully mapped in 2020. it w…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	29/04/26 11:26 PM
-3	Quote of the Day: Karen Straughan it is directly relevant because you said i don’t know anything about male domestic abuse when i am myself a male domestic abuse survivor? can you name anything quite specific about feminism you disagree with that isn’t based on your second hand understanding of it, reading a wiki, or social media posts?	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	29/04/26 11:12 PM
-1	Quote of the Day: Karen Straughan thank you for your measured response. here’s where i stand: patriarchy is the bad guy. everyone suffers in distinct and unique way under patriarchy, just as a capitalist who is wealthy under capitalism is yet bereft of love or true companionship. unfortunately even when you walk on eggshells with your words, it feels impossible to not activate ppl’s personal vendettas. i get how can feel like one’s identity being targeted personally… but i’m literally just not attacking anyone’s dignity. we just…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	29/04/26 08:24 PM
-4	Quote of the Day: Karen Straughan don’t tell me how to engage in an adult conversation when you called me a pejorative in your very first sentence. we can engage when you’re ready to stop being emotional.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	29/04/26 08:15 PM
-2	Quote of the Day: Karen Straughan can you point to specific instances of this? i’m not going to debate you on behalf of a strawman. this kind of argument is equivalent to the reactionary maxim that ‘communism takes away the incentive to work cause everything gets taken away’.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	29/04/26 08:14 PM
-4	Quote of the Day: Karen Straughan i am male and raised male and have suffered everything i told you. you think i’m on the outside looking in? i am a domestic abuse survivor, and was abused by a man for years. you’re welcome to be angry at women as much as as you want.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	29/04/26 08:10 PM
-12	Quote of the Day: Karen Straughan i know. many of those things exist, and are problems. the misunderstanding here is that feminism at large is some kind male-extinction or female-supremacy movement. while there are many and varied doctrines within feminism, as in any other ideology, feminism broadly advocates for the ending of structural oppression, in any forms, for every human being. it happens that patriarchy, as the name suggests, is largely in effect, social stratification into gender-based castes with masculinity at the ‘t…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	29/04/26 05:27 PM
-11	Quote of the Day: Karen Straughan can you cite a specific feminist who you feel describes “Patriarchy” as a monolithic entity or ‘collective’? i’m curious whether you believe you’re holding yourself to the same level of rigor you might expect of others; i personally can not name a feminist who described their theory in such reductive language. patriarchy is the name we have for a vast series of social structures and institutions, not a villain or a specific demographic or collective. again: presuming you are a leftist, why exact…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	29/04/26 04:42 PM
-8	Quote of the Day: Karen Straughan whether so-called empiricism is wholly valuable as a representation of the ‘real’ is a subjective judgment; it’s only the most prominent tendency in the anglo-sphere. philosophy and the study of society and culture is by nature abstract. i’m not quite sure what you mean by saying that feminist theory is ‘interpretive’ rather than ‘explanatory’. high-level feminist theory and the writings thereof are in no way rhetorically inferior or less intellectually rigorous than the likes of any other schoo…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	29/04/26 02:28 PM
