15	Men were more lonely but now articles say women are more lonely. Why the change? Technically social isolation and loneliness describe two different phenomena. The first is physical separation from other people (probably more likely to affect men) and the later is emotional disconnection from others (probably impacts women more)	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	06/04/25 06:12 PM
7	The Man Carrying Thing Makes Fun of Male Loneliness The concept of intersectionality could be applied here. Even if the levels are comparable amongst both genders there’s nothing wrong with choosing to focus on male loneliness as a point of study.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	11/02/25 07:45 PM
62	Is ‘masculinity’ behind male loneliness and substance use disorders? If masculinity is to blame for male loneliness then why were men more socially connected up until the late 20th century?	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	03/01/25 08:40 PM
3	The Working Class Conversation It seems like the stereotypical coastal affluent liberal types just assume that people outside their milieu aren’t going to college because they’re inherently lazy and stupid rather than due to it being unaffordable. If it was $15k a semester to go to high school then fewer people would go, but that wouldn’t indicate that they’re too stupid to understand algebra or the anatomy of a cell. Reminds me of how Reaganites in the 80s talked about “welfare queens” in the inner cities.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	16/11/24 08:48 PM
15	MensLib mod comment on a post where i share my experiences of child-abuse, sexual harassment and assault by women. I followed every subreddit rule in making that post, yet both the comment-section is locked and the post unlisted from public view. Over 75% of therapists and therapy clients are women. Not all therapists are equally qualified to handle male specific problems, or even issues like child abuse/sexual assault. The idea that adequate professional mental health support is as accessible as a can of soda is a farce.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	27/09/24 05:36 AM
35	MensLib mod comment on a post where i share my experiences of child-abuse, sexual harassment and assault by women. I followed every subreddit rule in making that post, yet both the comment-section is locked and the post unlisted from public view. Meanwhile on any other menslib post: “It’s toxic masculinity when men don’t open up and be vulnerable like Brene Brown.”	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	26/09/24 09:40 PM
267	What's the deal with r/menslib? It’s rather hilarious how the ask women subs all complain that menslib is a cesspool of misogyny, when most of the subreddit’s content these days is paranoia/scaremongering over teenage boys’ media consumption and how it might inconvenience women	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	02/07/24 11:43 PM
85	What do we do when the inevitable male far right backlash comes? I don’t think young men are so problematic as you assume Try telling that to the men’s lib subreddit	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	07/06/24 08:05 AM
5	Niche question: Any other men here that previously identified as nonbinary? How has navigating identity worked out for you? Binary transsexuality has some biomarkers - e.g. gene expressions highly correlated to ftm/mtf that are less common amongst non-transsexuals, differences in white/grey matter distribution in the brain that align more with transsexuals’ identified sex. Neuroscientists have yet to find any evidence that nonbinary people possess similar innate biological differences compared to people who are not identified as nonbinary. This is just one reason why the two groups need to be separate. It’s like clai…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	21/05/24 06:45 PM
217	Why Do I Get The Ick When Men Are Emotional Around Me? Aren’t these the same people who scream about “toxic masculinity” when men don’t cry in heart sharing circles or whatever	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	07/05/24 10:30 PM
6	Why are males more likely to be conservative, and females more liberal? From the Industrial Revolution to the mid-20th century, there was a strongly economic component to left wing politics (e.g. trade unionism) that would have been more appealing to working men. The decline of domestic industrial/manufacturing work and union membership was concomitant with the rise of politics centered on “culture war” social issues (e.g. feminism, lgbt rights, racial justice) which tend to perceive men’s issues negatively.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	09/04/24 12:22 AM
50	How Widespread is Employment Discrimination Against Men in LGBT Organizations? The concept you’re looking for is horizontal hostility, which occurs in minority groups in which one segment of the group seeks to distance itself from another that is deemed too proximate to a majority group. Other examples: some black feminists claim that black men are “the white people of black people” a contingent of gays and lesbians have expressed animus towards sharing community with bisexuals, considering them untrustworthy and shifty some ethnic minorities/immigrants take issue with oth…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	17/01/24 05:07 AM
5	Paper explains that men's shorter life-expectancy is not important in health equity. These people tend to value the concept of “intersectionality”, where multiple “axes of identity” are applied towards analysis of a demographic. It is mostly applied to women in the sense that you must consider that category includes black women, lesbian women, etc. Using this logic, “men” as a group would by definition include: black men disabled men gay men mentally ill men Jewish/Muslim men poor men Ergo, by claiming that “men as a group have more wealth, influence, and prestige” and don’t suf…	/r/MensRights	09/06/23 04:06 PM
