| 1 | What is Patriarchy? r/MensLib moderator things this is semantics and not worth discussing...Well not really. Matriarchy would be a system where all you ever had was queens and no kings, and princesses would be heirs to the throne and run duchies and such. Until very very recently, the system in the UK for example only had ruling queens when there was no other option. Of course, the power of the monarch has been chipped away at for at least two centuries, to the point where today the monarch's power is barely hypothetical and effectively nonexistent, so it's a lot less meaningful than i… | /r/MensRights | 09/04/21 11:00 AM |

| 1 | Men NEED to earn more money because its naturally more expensive to be a man. They can do this too, at least because they are stronger.I'm sorry, but I really don't think uncomfortable airline seats are discrimination against men. Unless there's some evidence that men are physiologically harmed from coach seats, there isn't an equality argument here. I don't know how it could be an equality argument when we're literally talking about everyone having the same seats. Men don't have a medical or health reason to get larger seats, they do it because they can afford to and it's more important to them to be comfortable flying.

| 1 | Men NEED to earn more money because its naturally more expensive to be a man. They can do this too, at least because they are stronger.I mean, couldn't women pay more and have less shitty lives too? Not sure why using normal seats like everyone else is "shittier life than women." We're talking roughly half the population here -- so airlines decided to make seats that are shitty for half the population? I can't say as I've heard of women talking about how great and comfy airline seats are. According to some studies, they don't care about airline seat comfort as much as men do. What's the historic demographics of air travelers? I… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 01/12/20 07:45 AM |
| 1 | Men NEED to earn more money because its naturally more expensive to be a man. They can do this too, at least because they are stronger.The title of the post is "Men NEED to earn more money because..." and it simply isn't supported by the given arguments. I didn't come out with the "need" angle, OP did, and it fails. But even from a "necessary for being alive/healthy/secure" definition, it fails. Ultimately the definition of "need" here is "need to be comfortable" and that's a pretty poor basis for "need" IMO.... I dare say it's a pretty poor basis for "need" to most people generically talking about needs. "It's my industrial st… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 30/11/20 06:58 PM |
| 1 | Men NEED to earn more money because its naturally more expensive to be a man. They can do this too, at least because they are stronger.Again, this contradicts your primary assertion of "men NEED to earn more money" on the basis of this reason. At the risk of sounding tankie, or austeritist(?), nobody needs comfortableness. Yes, we "NEED" food, but that doesn't mean we "NEED" good or expensive food. Basically you can have more food without paying more than other food, it all depends on what food you buy. There's no established correlation between nutritional content and cost. Far from it, in fact. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 30/11/20 06:28 PM |
| 2 | Men NEED to earn more money because its naturally more expensive to be a man. They can do this too, at least because they are stronger.Well, then, they don't, in fact, "NEED to earn more money" because of that, which is the top assertion in your post, because they can opt to be frugal and sacrifice comfort (which are pretty much synonyms). | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 30/11/20 06:27 PM |

| 2 | Men NEED to earn more money because its naturally more expensive to be a man. They can do this too, at least because they are stronger.Previously you said If you eat 33% more food and are buying the same food Larger people don't eat the same types of food as thinner people. I don't think that follows at all. That's an extremely weak assumption. Larger people tend to eat higher energy food (carbs, sugars, fats, proteins, etc.) That doesn't at all necessarily lead to higher food costs. Hi carb food and hi fat food are by and large anything but expensive. Viz: the developed world's lower class obesity situation. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 30/11/20 05:48 PM |
| 3 | Men NEED to earn more money because its naturally more expensive to be a man. They can do this too, at least because they are stronger.I'm kind of dubious that, assuming that men are more likely to get higher-classed airline seats, that it's because they're larger people, but rather, because either they can better afford to, or because they are more likely to be business travelers, or because they don't choose to be frugal. I think that's a correlation that is not a causation. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 30/11/20 05:43 PM |

| 4 | Men NEED to earn more money because its naturally more expensive to be a man. They can do this too, at least because they are stronger.Is there really a notion of men needing more expensive airline seats? That sounds kinda bullshit to me. But ultimately, this characterization is a blanket definition of men that persists a notion of men as having to fit certain physical characteristics. There's plenty of men that are not large, not tall, not heavy, not strong, not whatever else your preconceptions are. This doesn't even get into the question of transmen. I say, stop pushing your definition of "a man" on me, tyvm. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 30/11/20 07:15 AM |

But taken too far, that can mean that not-good candidates get included over better ones. Now, maybe the standards behind what is "good" have certain socioeconomic biases. Maybe what we think is "good" is skewed towards a demographic, and other demographics can offer things that are also good that the assessors have not considered. (Sounds like every single 80s movie about business...) But... does that really happen in orchestras? (Besides,… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 28/08/20 08:07 AM |

In some states the deal is you form a "parenting plan" or "parenting agreement" and in that agreement you hash out how decisions about the child will be made between both parents, including visitation, support, schools, living environment, etcetera.

Normally, when an adjective is applied to a noun, this is called a qualifier. This means that the purpose of the adjective is to specify a certain type of the noun. For example, "white house" means a "house" that is "white," to differentiate it from houses that are not white. "Black people" means a "people" that are "black," to differentiate from people who are not black. "White house" does not imply that all houses are white.

Like "Good discussion" or "Positive content" or something like that that could be added to quality / desirable posts. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 12/06/20 10:30 AM |
| – | I can't help but be misogynistic...i think women hate men, are mean and rude and unempathetic, that women support violence against men, etc. this is in my head, i cant get it out. most people dont agree. why am i wrong?The content of this post is controversial and on its face, would violate rules of this sub. However, the conversation in this thread so far is positive and very much a good discussion and critique of this sentiment. So, I'm approving it on that basis. Hopefully things will continue to be constructive. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 12/06/20 10:16 AM |

Universal treatment does not imply presumption of universal chance of re-abuse. What it does is reflect the fact that you don't know whether re-abuse will happen.

| 7 | Most people, regardless of gender, prefer staying home to do chores / childcare instead of working a full-time job. Staying home instead of working is a privilege and women appear to enforce this gender role at least as often as men do, if not more.Well, I think the beef that most women have with it is that men look down on that role and frequently men pressure their women to do better... and that's the nice example -- some are even physically abusive about it. On the other hand, any man in a (het) relationship who ever lost a job or got a pay cut can tell you it ain't exactly roses on the other side of the fence, even with a "woke" SO.

| 3 | Why are female-only STEM classes so popular?Stereotype means you assume someone is a certain way based on an otherwise unrelated attribute that you've made false generalized connections on. Like black people are violent or criminal, or better at basketball, white people are rich, or racist, Indian people are great at math and engineering, blonde women are airheads, women suck at sports, guys who own a certain style of hat are misogynists, etc. Fitting a stereotype is what OC is referring to but that's not what a stereotype is. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 30/01/20 11:25 PM |

I mean, in reality, it's that people don't really give a fuck if people move for them, they just plow ahead through people.

Once again, mainstream media fails to mention that all the children killed were boys...why am I not surprised?Perhaps it is because no one cares when it's boys, just like no one / media cares when black girls go missing, but fawn over white girls. So instead of "boys" it's "children" because then you don't know. If they say "boys" less people will care.

| 3 | Man speaking to feminists at an athiesm event asks them not to 'silence' critics, especially men. Feminists respond by getting up a petition against him, successfully demanding an apology, demanding his resignation & then denying they've ever 'silenced' anyone. Facepalm.Ironic that the object of undoubtedly many NAFALT retorts backs the assertion that, basically, NAFALT cannot possibly be true, because there is one and only one "feminism." If you argue NAFALT, you argue that not all feminists are the same kind of feminists, which implies different types of feminists, which SecWo flatly rejects, and moreover declares "is not a topic for debate.” | /r/MensRights | 17/12/13 01:00 AM |

| 7 | So I guess all the "nerd" bashing of boys I've heard throughout my life (both real and in the media) is just a hallucinationWhat I don't get is when feminists insist that men cannot possibly know what women go through (which is likely true), but then turn around and also insist that they know exactly what men go through. That's not equal. | /r/MensRights | 07/08/13 12:44 AM |
