4	It took a woman getting killed for people to take ICE seriously. I agree that people generally have more empathy for female victims but there are more things at play here. She's a parent, very clearly not a threat, being executed at point blank range. Don't forget that BLM happened over the killing of George Floyd, a man.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	08/01/26 08:22 PM
1	What a horrible court decision has been released in the UK today. No, but neither can any other side of the argument.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	21/04/25 04:23 AM
8	YouTube only promotes female cover artists (even on traditionally predominantly male fanbases) Women are wonderful effect	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	20/04/25 01:05 PM
0	What a horrible court decision has been released in the UK today. It is a matter of which characteristics decide what gender you belong to. Some people (including me) would argue that brain + hormones outweighs reproductive organs.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	17/04/25 07:21 AM
8	When did Trump pay lip service to mens issues? They don’t care. They would rather lose and blame men than stop being misandrist and win. It’s more important to them to have a punching bag than to actually be successful.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	31/03/25 10:09 AM
10	I really ate how many of men’s problems are branded as their/patriarchy’s/misogyny’s fault Yes it's gonna get worse but you cannot exist in society without interacting with men (unless you're a total shut-in) and the more insane their rhetoric gets, the more the average woman will feel whiplash between feminist claims about men and how men actually are. They are already losing a lot of support over this and they cannot account for this because the lack of real issues to tackle has turned feminism into a misandry contest.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	21/01/25 09:27 AM
3	Are you Men’s Rights or Men’s Liberation? Gender equality is not feminist. They may (more or less honestly) advocate for it but that does not mean that the concept is feminist.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	22/12/24 04:23 PM
121	Democrats are repeating the mistake of 2016 I feel like the target audience for this is women	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	04/11/24 08:17 AM
9	To talk again about male indifference. Men are often heavily criticized for being too opinionated about women. But society is also frustrated when men are noncharlant about women. And let's talk about male interaction again too. Interesting point I just thought of: I wonder if people are more likely to reach for negative reinforcement with men. I.e. when men don’t talk to women but we do want them to, we try to deter them from doing the bad behavior (for example by shaming them as losers/virgins/incels etc.) instead of affirming them for the good behavior (i.e. by being attentive to when men do that and conplimenting them). I would bet money that men receive more negative reinforcement and less positive reinforcement th…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	03/10/24 10:54 AM
9	The Last Dinner Party 'appalled' by security checks on male fans Fr this is so nice of them	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	30/09/24 09:17 PM
4	Opinion \| What gay men’s stunning success might teach us about the academic gender gap There absolutely is an extremely anti-academic culture that is forced upon (and then also enforced by) boys in schools. Society models masculinity and boys enforce it. The statement that men are technically the ones directly inflicting most of the damage is true. Of course, when people bring that up, they don't mean to help or simply state a fact, they are trying to assign blame to the boys for existing/participating in a very harmful social structure that was forced upon them to begin with. Not…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	15/09/24 10:58 AM
15	Progressive spaces shit on lonely men and then wonder why they go to scumbags like Andrew Tate for advice. It is absolutely uncalled for. In principle, telling people to reflect can be fair but here it is being weaponized in an attempt to delegitimize his experience.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	03/09/24 04:40 AM
3	How do you respond intelligently to posts like this? "Yes it is"	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	16/08/24 10:36 AM
6	Responses to married men are more happier. Still isn’t actually true	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	15/08/24 04:34 AM
7	Has anyone seen a surge in "feminists" saying men should pay for everything? ??	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	01/08/24 10:48 AM
6	Transitioning to male opened my eyes Same. I‘ve recently figured out that I can just listen to my podcast on speaker and simultaneously get the nightly atmosphere and the entertainment and that just goes so hard	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	24/07/24 08:35 PM
121	"May the women of America tip the scales and save democracy." The left pushing men to the right and then going „oh no why would those evil males vote for the right“ and then instead of thinking about it going „see this is why women are so much better“ would be comical if I had any humor left for this topic	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	24/07/24 07:02 PM
21	Transitioning to male opened my eyes I mean tbh going outside at night just really isn’t that dangerous for anyone. I think our society greatly overstates the danger, especially to women. People are much more dangerous than the off chance of a serial killer just chilling in a tree where you’re going for a run. My advice would be to just expose yourself to it more I think.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	24/07/24 06:56 PM
3	Transitioning to male opened my eyes This is a great observation	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	24/07/24 05:24 PM
21	Transitioning to male opened my eyes B- b- b- b- b- but you can go running at night now!!! Who would want to hurt you? You don’t have anything valuable to take anymore.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	24/07/24 05:23 PM
2	I think it's high time we teach men to be independent and support each other. This cites „Happy Ever After“ which has had this claim retracted by the author.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	28/06/24 09:31 AM
12	I think it's high time we teach men to be independent and support each other. The studies actually do agree with me? Women in marriages report higher levels of happiness than single women.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	27/06/24 07:24 PM
15	I think it's high time we teach men to be independent and support each other. Single women aren’t even happier than married women	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	27/06/24 03:15 PM
3	What specific changes should be made to the law, in order of priority - and are also feasible to get political traction on? Draft, paternity leave, rape by women	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	24/06/24 08:18 PM
24	I was telling my sister that I’d been engaging with lots of feminist groups and men’s rights groups, but she was saying she doesn’t think calling them men’s rights groups is the right terminology because there’s a lot of rights that men have had over the years that women haven’t There‘s two kinds of feminists: extremist ones and ones who pretend the former don’t exist. Hyperbolic of course (and not like that doesn’t happen for other ideological groups ever) but still unfortunately largely the case. It’s hard to talk to the latter group about it as well because if you do, you’re putting yourself in an inherently weak position and they will simply lose respect for you.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	23/06/24 09:26 PM
90	Senate democrats push for requiring women to sign up for military draft, leading to huge backlash. More proof that conservatives do not care about men either (not that I asked for them to give us more but they certainly did)	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	21/06/24 05:19 AM
27	What did y'all do for men's mental health month? I don’t know about anyone else, but to me, posts like that always come off as engagement bait. I also don’t reeaally care too much about the month. My approach and my feelings towards men’s mental health aren’t really dependent on the month. I just try to challenge my biases towards men (something that I‘ve done for women to exhaustion because I believed they were the only people with biases against them). For example, I try not to categorize large men with masculine features as „brutish“.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	15/06/24 05:43 AM
13	An apartment complex where men are banned Very true, didn't think of that.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	13/06/24 03:39 PM
9	An apartment complex where men are banned I don’t really care about this tbh. (Apart from the fact that everyone would be really mad if this was done for men).	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	13/06/24 02:57 PM
23	Article/discussion in French: Quebec Student Parliament : Male delegate kicked out over vague rumour Heads should roll over this. But they won’t.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	05/06/24 06:21 PM
9	The neurodiversity movement appear to have a bias against autistic men and autistic people who aren't extremely high functioning. The last paragraph rings uncomfortably true to be honest. I‘ve been very successful at pretty much everything I’ve ever touched except for socializing and it feels so insurmountable. As if no matter how hard I try, I will never be like everyone else, normal, or bearable. Plus of course, if you decided to have a Y chromosome (dummy) you get 0 empathy and sympathy on any of your problems, your disability is your responsibility, man up, loser, go away. It really does seem like given any of the cate…	/r/MensRights	22/05/24 08:21 PM
-10	How do you combat the stats of men vastly outnumbering women in nearly all crime? The reality is that they are probably just correct. That doesn't make me particularly happy either.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	11/05/24 12:32 PM
0	Do people hate the average man, especially on social media? Yes it’s very easy to tell whether it’s right or wrong and anybody can easily see that it‘s wrong but it’s such a low-harm issue that bringing it up this way discredits other arguments.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	02/04/24 05:30 PM
-10	Do people hate the average man, especially on social media? I‘m circumcised. It should probably be banned but it’s not a big problem.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	02/04/24 03:56 PM
-26	Do people hate the average man, especially on social media? God I wish people would stop bringing up circumcision, it’s a small issue that makes our points significantly less credible.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	02/04/24 01:39 PM
3	The Feminist To Far-Right Pipeline, A Review As It Pertains To Men And Masculinity Very well written and thought-provoking	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	30/03/24 10:34 AM
4	What cultural/economic implications does India have for the narrow gender suicide-gap? I mean honestly it’s probably arranged marriage making women do it more than anything being absent to make men do it	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	27/03/24 03:07 AM
12	"Men are more violent" vs. "Certain crimes are worse when men do them" Most people will just call you racist. It really seems like this thought is too complicated for the average person which is unbelievably sad but unfortunately my experience.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	22/03/24 07:15 PM
36	Is a large component of the male loneliness epidemic the general feeling of being undesirable? Very true. Women are valued for what they are and we’re valued for what we can provide to others.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	13/03/24 02:40 PM
14	Is a large component of the male loneliness epidemic the general feeling of being undesirable? I absolutely agree with this. I framed this to myself as „women are the desirable gender“ just two days ago, thanks for writing it out and helping me order my thoughts a little.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	13/03/24 02:29 PM
27	Existing in the education system/academia as a man is a pain. That wont happen, most women our age are convinced that universities are basically the hunger games for women. We need to stop believing that women in positions of power will all of a sudden develop this immense benevolence (in part because assuming women are all empathetic and nice is kind of misandrist but mainly because it wont happen). We have to actually do things ourselves. I recommend you keep a list of how you were discriminated against. Not necessarily with any specific intention, just …	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	11/03/24 06:02 AM
11	I know this will be controversial here but this is so silly 🤦‍♂️ Everyone who disagrees with me or doesn’t live in America is a right winger	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	01/03/24 06:14 AM
22	r/Ask a feminist 'hey, y'all think it's a heteronormative complex or what?'.... I read that one too and went to check TwoXChromosomes to see how many of their top posts are anti-male hate and I have got to say it was way worse in the past. Now, to be fair, a lot of the posts are specific negative interactions with men which depending on how you take the original comment may constitute talking about men.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	23/02/24 07:47 AM
6	What victories or positive moments have you had lately? I'm sooo worried about this. I'm very afraid that I'll really fall in love with someone and they won't like me because I'm not a feminist. I feel like most women I see are really feminist, especially smart and/or educated ones. Good for you though! This is very encouraging.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	20/02/24 09:30 AM
2	Why are men's problems discussed primary by Conservatives, whilst women problems prinarily by leftists? I‘ll eat both my chucks if you can show me a good case that a „liberal-designed“ airplane fell apart mid air because of diversity hires. I agree that anti-male diversity hiring is mostly obsolete but proposing that the aviation industry which is notoriously incredibly strict on security would compromise the same for DEI is nuts. The feelings thing is true but only feminists use it the way you criticize. They do so because it gives them an easy way out of caring about the wildly higher rates of s…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	17/02/24 09:20 AM
6	Why are men's problems discussed primary by Conservatives, whilst women problems prinarily by leftists? It‘s an extremely slippery slope. Representation works and representing sympathy for men will make people more sympathetic towards men. That would be the end of feminism as we know it.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	17/02/24 09:05 AM
19	Why are men's problems discussed primary by Conservatives, whilst women problems prinarily by leftists? This is the most important point. Neither side has any support for men, both will give you the same exact same harmful traditional gender roles. The only difference (and the reason for the gendered political divide) is that the left is going to be mean to you on top of it. Conservatives do not represent men either, they’re not better, just nicer.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	17/02/24 09:01 AM
42	You don't need to show or concede any sympathy to either Feminism or 'Women's issues' in general Very frequently in cases of misandry it’s almost perfectly analogous to racism but if you bring that up they’ll usually just end up screaming RACIST RACIST in the hopes of drowning out your argument	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	07/02/24 07:49 PM
41	Does it annoy anybody else how those speaking up for male issues are often really conservative? It is so annoying and makes it impossible to be taken seriously. Men are just totally polarized against absolutely everything we have to do to advocate for ourselves in a non-toxic, effective way.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	30/01/24 04:18 AM
29	Men’s data on the CDC’s National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey The most insane thing is how they include „any contact sexual violence“ instead of limiting it to whatever they consider „physical violence“ to prevent people from realizing there are more male victims than female ones 😀🤗🤗😀	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	29/01/24 01:43 PM
32	just treat women like human beings-what does that mean? It‘s just a virtue signal. A woman would never give you that advice 1o1 because it’s stupid and no one struggles with treating women as human beings. It’s always said to men in front of other people or about men to other people in order to vaguely gesture at some nebulous oppression where it’s supposedly common place to not treat women as human beings.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	11/01/24 10:42 AM
9	as a trans man, how do i fit into male advocacy? A less snarky comment for me: When (at what age) did you transition? This is important so I can categorize your experience correctly. Also, and I can’t really judge this, I just want to know if you have: Have you considered that you are complaining about things at a threshold you learned during female socialization but are now being treated as though you had a male one? I’m assuming that women are more likely to speak up about things that bother them. If that’s the case then I would also think t…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	09/01/24 06:19 PM

5	Avoid women who use these words/phrases Insecure has always been the no. 2 shaming tactic against men, it’s not at all specific to relationships. Kind of fucked to kick people while they’re down like that.	/r/MensRights	05/01/24 02:05 PM
42	When did it become desperation for men to want positive and healthy guidance into their life journeys[relationships, careers, family matters, etc]? Why is everything nowadays a ''FIY" attitude towards men & our shortcomings? Insecurity or helplessness in men is anywhere from uncomfortable to disgusting to people. I would guess, though I’m by no means sure, that it boils down to a strength/weakness question. Strong, masculine men aren’t supposed to be insecure, hurt or unsure. And even if they ever, somehow are, it would be a weak, pathetic decision for them to not face their problems alone but instead depend on and bother others.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	29/12/23 10:52 PM
3	Help: depression, self-hatred, and misandry Your instability almost certainly has something to do with the fact that you post, not comment, 5-10 times a day. You’re 22, you should have acquired, as much as I think this often is a toxic trope, a bit more emotional control by now. Have you considered that you’re just horny? I’m a sub with a female supremacy kink and I could’ve written this (at my worst, tbf).	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	23/12/23 05:19 AM
21	Society confuses coddling men with helping them, especially in times of hardship or turmoil, men are also seen as less venerable, which may impact the way we go about prioritizing male needs Sure wonder why there is an educational attainment gap!	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	10/12/23 11:57 AM
-5	A man is not responsible for other men's toxicity. To me it never seems like they’re being malicious about it though. Do you think it’s that they subconsciously decide that it’s a threatening thought to accept or is it a learned response?	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	03/12/23 10:00 AM
54	A man is not responsible for other men's toxicity. Would seem like common sense but in my experience it’s extremely difficult to get feminists to accept this specifically. Don’t know why.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	03/12/23 08:32 AM
5	men and relationships, specifically friendships Yea, I generally feel like men’s friendships kind of suck. Now of course, I still find my friendships with men to be more fulfilling than those with women. But why? I feel like that’s because most women seem to hold some kind of general hostility towards men so I have to walk on eggshells around them if I don’t want them to hate me. I don’t think women are held to that same standard and are allowed much more lenience. Men (me included) also seem afraid of committing to platonic relationships too…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	30/11/23 06:07 AM
35	Why Don't Men Support Each Other More? This and the fact that we as men are unwilling to make other people feel bad about us are the 2 largest issues imo.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	27/11/23 09:59 AM
3	Happy International Men's Day! What do you think of this idea? Sorry that comment was rather cynical and reductionist. A lot of women are actually perfectly nice people and the things I complain about are (pretty prevalent) trends, which is a bit hypocritical of me because I frequently complain about the same kind of rhetoric from feminists. An „us vs them“ dynamic doesn’t have to exist for anyone except for the people inside the movement. With feminism specifically, most feminists just treat „patriarchy“ as a dogwhistle for „men“, so I think those things w…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	21/11/23 03:25 AM
26	Feminism expects men to bend over backwards for empathizing with womens issues while shitting on men, and is then is surprised men double down imto toxic spaces. My theory is that you absorb social dogma the same way you learn social rules, which would explain why both seem to fail on autistic people. It’s made me appreciate the fact I have autism a little.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	20/11/23 04:50 PM
9	Happy International Men's Day! What do you think of this idea? Most women who have received feminist socialization (most of them) are absolutely and permanently incapable of imagining that men have any issues (or feelings for that matter). We exist so they can take out their anger on us without hurting their own conscience. I love your idea but it’s absolutely impractical. A movement that can effectively help men (at a decent scale) has to have the same „us vs them“ dynamic that feminism and really all larger movements have, both to keep men interested and …	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	20/11/23 12:37 PM
87	Feminism expects men to bend over backwards for empathizing with womens issues while shitting on men, and is then is surprised men double down imto toxic spaces.
