-1	TERFs only hate trans women because they hate men. Seeing as you've wrongly assumed or inferred who I am or what I believe twice in replies, it's clear you're not actually so interested in engaging but presuming, despite what you say.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	28/10/21 11:56 PM
0	TERFs only hate trans women because they hate men. TERFs only hate trans women because they hate men. That's a very "sweeping judgment" to attempt to "create a conversation" with. It's a definitional strawman and it implies the base motivation of TERFs is misandry. It also injects the premise that TERFs disagreeing with modern (and again, widely unpopular) conceptions of the malleability of gender and sex is "hate". How is that constructive?	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	28/10/21 09:36 PM
-6	TERFs only hate trans women because they hate men. You're projecting malice onto me where there is none. I never insulted OP or told them they shouldn't have posted. I told them that there's nothing to engage with here besides a very broad position strawmanning TERFs.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	28/10/21 09:32 PM
-11	TERFs only hate trans women because they hate men. How does, or rather why should, one meaningfully engage with your contention when you haven't even elaborated your position? I don't have any idea why you believe what you posted.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	28/10/21 09:08 PM
0	TERFs only hate trans women because they hate men. This sub is losing me. You've strawmanned an ideological position, elaborated absolutely nothing, and the only comments are surface level responses accepting the premise with no real rationale backing it up besides things that sound on their face as though they could be right. I am not a TERF and I feel like I could sum up several reasons that TERFs don't accept the current (widely unpopular) positions on gender without being misandrists.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	28/10/21 09:06 PM
11	"Girls rule" Honestly? I don't think it implies supremacy at all and only a narrow reading of "rule" as "reign over all others" gets you there. Most people say "xxx rules" and they certainly don't mean that thing is the best or only good thing. They mean it's cool and I'd be willing to bet that most people would accept this meaning. Narrow readings are not just pedantic and nor do they only contrive a problem with this, it's a useless fight because this language doesn't hurt 99% of men. If you tried to intro…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	28/10/21 12:28 AM
18	"Girls rule" "Girls rule" is very anodyne in my opinion, too. Women and girls definitely struggle with a lot of issues of self-worth, what's wrong with trying to assuage that?	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	27/10/21 11:46 PM
0	71 % of scholars penalized for free speech on college campuses are men. I think you have that backwards. The reasons come from the left, wouldn't that mean they're criticizing ones on the right?	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	08/10/21 11:16 PM
5	Making men feel less 'manly' by crying I don't really see the issue of making use of an emotional reaction to indicate the severity of impact on a group of people. The pigherds are generally men, hence a group of grown men crying. Perhaps you could eliminate 'grown' from the title. I've definitely seen similar headlines for women's issues or issues women care about more strongly where the reaction of a group of women has been used for illustrative effect, like with Ginsberg's death or Clinton's loss. I also think that, while I agree …	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	05/10/21 07:25 PM
1	Making men feel less 'manly' by crying I don't agree this is bad. Grown men cry less than grown women on average. Does it invalidate you to cry? No. But a group of grown men crying is a lot less common than a group of grown women crying, no? Physiologically, men generally have a harder time crying, even. The article uses it as a point of emphasis of the pain of these men, which seems entirely valid to me.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	05/10/21 06:44 PM
