1	It took a woman getting killed for people to take ICE seriously. Source?	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	08/01/26 09:16 PM
6	It took a woman getting killed for people to take ICE seriously. It was not just George Floyd. He ignited* the 2020 protests, but the BLM movement began in the early 2010s with the murder of Trayvon Martin. There was a huge emphasis on the murder of men and boys specifically. Tamir Rice, Philando Castile, Ahmaud Arbery, Michael Brown, and many, many more. I'm assuming you're not Black and that you have a surface level knowledge of BLM if you're assuming that race somehow trumps the discussion about gendered violence towards Black men and boys that took place …	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	08/01/26 09:16 PM
2	It took a woman getting killed for people to take ICE seriously. Oh, for sure. Like I said, Rosa Parks wasn't the first, nor Emmett Till, nor Trayvon Martin. Right place, right time, right victim, right societal mentality. I don't really expect this incident to be the end of it. If anything, I expect this has intimidated more white people from speaking up. If I had racial camouflage, who knows if I'd actually stick my neck out. But I don't, so~	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	08/01/26 09:07 PM
6	It took a woman getting killed for people to take ICE seriously. Yes, I know. But leftists are always on the fringe of mainstream thought. Most of the US I'd argue is center/center right with some being liberal in theory but not practice. When I say that outrage and movements grow, I'm saying that middle America, meaning the centrists and even some k. the right start to reconsider their support. Neither right or leftwing ideology can advance without winning over the centrists who annoyingly don't care until something affects them or if they fear something wil…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	08/01/26 09:03 PM
29	It took a woman getting killed for people to take ICE seriously. In all of history, public sentiments are usually shaken up when a "perfect victim" is faces injustice or is killed. Rosa Parks was not thr first Black person to refuse to move to thr back of thd bus, but she was a more palatable activist for general Americans. Emmett Till's murder set fire to the passion of the Civil Rights Movement, and decades later Trayvon Martin's death ignited the modern civil rights/BLM movement. I have always said, general America won't care about abortion rights until a …	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	08/01/26 03:22 PM
3	Countries where same-sex activity is illegal Yes, we agree, I think. My point is that women in these countries often face sexual violence perpetuated by family/community rather than the law while men face violent, physical violence enforced by the law. But that doesn't mean gay men can't experience sexual violence or that lesbians can't experience violence. Yes, two openly gay men are more likely to be threatened on the street even in countries where gay marriage is legal. If men do experience more violence fir being queer, I wouldn't disp…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	07/01/26 05:38 PM
3	Countries where same-sex activity is illegal Yes, they do. I'm saying that in these situations queer women aren't controlled using the law, whereas men are. Legalizing corrective rape would be an international scandal, maybe, and in some countries being married off is akin to slavery anyway. In some places you get circumcised as a woman before you're married. Idk what country you're from, bjt we need to take a look at this specific map and really think about what life is like for everyone. This is not a map of the west, and social contract…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	07/01/26 05:11 PM
15	Countries where same-sex activity is illegal Everyone loses when we play the oppression olympics. Lesbians are oppressed, period, as ate gay men, and as leftists we're meant to advocate for the end of oppression while putting extra emphasis on men's issues, not discounting womens' issues. If groups keep trying to one-up each other, we'll all keep trying to drag each other down. And if we do that, we can't trust one another and lift each other up.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	06/01/26 05:13 PM
7	Countries where same-sex activity is illegal I think it should be noted that in parts of some of those countries, people practice corrective rape and forced marriages for lesbians/queer women. I think the laws are geared towards men because those other methods are mostly but not exclusively geared towards women who are seen as easier to control.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	06/01/26 02:50 PM
5	Misandry and anti-masculinity in queer and trans spaces I won't talk about my personal experience, but I will say it's textbook. Boys and girls are taught to playfully hate each other (girls have cooties, boys go to Jupiter) when young to establish a separation of genders and a lack of desire to interact with or emulate one another. As children grow up, that separation becomes more stark, and the hatred becomes less playful (you run like a girl, you're ugly like a boy). Men are taught that any vulnerabilities or inability to perform certain masculine…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	31/12/25 07:01 PM
1	Misandry and anti-masculinity in queer and trans spaces Not individuals who attack me- individuals in general. Incels hate all women for existing. Femcels hate all men for existing. I can't be mad at an entire gender because some individuals from that group have hurt me.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	31/12/25 02:49 AM
1	Misandry and anti-masculinity in queer and trans spaces Well, I think whatever word people use, most people would find an excuse to overahadow other people's struggles. Humans are by nature pretty competitive with limited ability to care for or see the perspectives of people outside of their collective groups, and outliers tend to be put in their place for not joining in on herd mentality and that competitive edge that ends up keeping us all down. Renaming things won't really do anything. Fighting against our most base instincts will, but unfortunate…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	30/12/25 11:23 PM
9	Misandry and anti-masculinity in queer and trans spaces Yeah. As someone who was formally a genuine man-hater and is now transitioning, I could and probably will at some point write up my thoughts on how the queer community outside of cks gay men's spaces are a pseudo-matriarchy that has a misandry problem. Not enough power in general society to be a systemic problem, but it hurts male/masc/masculine presenting people of all genders within it and it often seen as a justifiable response to the very real oppressive forces of systemic patriarchy and mis…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	30/12/25 08:33 PM
0	Misandry and anti-masculinity in queer and trans spaces I would say that trans men have conditional privilege. Privilege isn't a bad word, nor is it inherently bad. It's what you do with it that matters. Each binary gender has some sort of advantage in certain areas in life. Cis men and cis passing men do have privilege. Even cis men have conditional privilege. A Black man's male privilege will lessen depending on his environment, so will a gay man's, so will a poor man, disabled man, etc. Privilege is always conditional. If you're unable to coexist …	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	30/12/25 08:29 PM
