| -13 | I consider myself a feminist. However, I have recently realised I have focused on female inequalities rather than all inequalities. I am seeking guidance to better fight for the rights of all.Feminist man here stumbling onto this sub. It's important to not fall into the trap of "starting from the middle". By that I mean "you women have problems, us men have problems, we should put effort to fixing them both". These problems aren't independent of each other. Almost all men and women's problems come from patriarchy. Patriarchy is basically "men are superior to women", which causes problems for men and some "perks" to women. Feminism wants to dismantle patriarchy by decentralizing men, … | /r/MensRights | 01/11/25 12:13 PM |
| 1 | I am a transgender woman and I can say: female privilege is realJust so we're clear here, all of your problems pre-transition and all of your "privileges" post-transition are a product of patriarchy still. Patriarchy works against men too. Being seen as a monster as in seen as a potential threat, abuser, harasser, or creep comes from a long history and statistics of men abusing women because of power dynamics and patriarchy. People not liking you/ not getting hired - that might be too personal for me to comment. Dating life - Men are socially expected to pur… | /r/MensRights | 01/11/25 10:28 AM |
| 1 | Wanna hear something funny?Adhering to standards or being technical can be fair and just in many situations. But often times having compassion and being human goes beyond technical terms and documented standards. There are lots of times and places to be technical, but it's not all of them. | /r/MensRights | 08/03/23 02:31 AM |
| 2 | Wanna hear something funny?It's useful when referring to all ages and are the words used on most official documents. Absolutely, and as I mentioned above, they should be used in those situations because they are relevant. But it's not relevant when saying something like "I'm meeting up with a bunch of females this Friday" or "I was with a female yesterday". Just say women. When certain things aren't relevant in the situation, it may be rude to refer to people as certain things. | /r/MensRights | 07/03/23 01:41 AM |
| 1 | Wanna hear something funny?on merriam webster How is that offensive? One thing I learned with age is to stop using the dictionary and technicalities as absolute truths to excuse things. No matter what the dictionary says, I recently learned that I can disrespect westerners for using "buddy". I'm not about to whip out a dictionary and tell them I can use it as much as I want. If you want to grab my attention in the streets by saying "excuse me, Asian" instead of "excuse me, sir", I'd raise my eyebrows at you. Doesn't matte… | /r/MensRights | 07/03/23 01:32 AM |
| 1 | Wanna hear something funny?Loads of people use those words in a way that includes trans people's desired genders. In the same way, loads of people use those words to disregard trans people because a transwoman is still male in her medical records. people who are highly critical feminism men have been conscripted into war, and expected to protect women Men go through a lot of problems; we get less emotional support, people are desensitized to us getting hurt, we're shamed when not protecting women or not going to war, etc.… | /r/MensRights | 07/03/23 01:01 AM |
| -6 | Wanna hear something funny?So here's my attempt to explain it as a guy who used to not see the problem with it. "Men" and "women" are mostly used to describe humans and is most naturally used in day to day speech and writing. "Male" and "female" are some very biological terms used for animals, science, and legal documents. You'd have to go out of your way to use "male/ female" (as nouns) over "men/ women". It's dehumanizing and objectifying. Using them as adjectives (ex. female co-worker) is okay because well, the English… | /r/MensRights | 06/03/23 09:25 AM |
