| 38 | Economist: Height preferences in relationships are just as strong today as they were two decades agoReddit is weird about the incel smear. I regularly see people called incels on Reddit for saying things that, in my admittedly anecdotal experience, the average person in the real world would agree with (regardless of political affiliation). | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 28/06/26 03:23 AM |
| 22 | Incel Culture and the Montreal ShooterThat fixation on Adolescence was so weird. IIRC the creator of the show outright said that it was mostly a work of fiction and wasn't directly based on any real events, yet people still treated it as some kind of insightful expose. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 27/06/26 07:03 PM |
| 103 | How feminism hurts men: I shared TheTinMen's awareness post on alcohol-related male-on-male violence resulting in brain injury and death. I got immediately attacked by - male feministThat's something that I find deeply disturbing about a certain subset of liberals, especially feminists. Refusing to discuss serious issues just because a person talking about them disagrees with you on completely unrelated issues. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 23/06/26 01:30 PM |
| 1 | Does Toxic Masculinity/Femininity Truly Exist?I do think that both masculinity and femininity have toxic elements along with positive ones. The main issue is how inconsistently feminists talk about the two. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 22/06/26 08:13 PM |
| 22 | The phrase "men are afraid of other men" is just a feminist way of calling men weak.It's also funny because they'll turn around and act like men AREN'T afraid of other men when it suits their narrative. i.e. when they talk about how men are supposedly safe and comfortable walking down the street in contrast to women. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 25/05/26 02:29 PM |
| 25 | Autistic man mistreated, and a "feminist" group mocked it and muted me for respectful disagreement.Autistic people in general make the average person very uncomfortable, and the mindset that a women feeling uncomfortable is inherently a human rights violation gives these people supposed moral high ground in their hatred towards autistic people. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 24/05/26 07:07 PM |
| 4 | Autistic men are not "coddled"Black men are literally some of the least coddled people, at least in America. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 20/05/26 01:14 AM |
| 3 | Why men don't go to therapyThis was my problem exactly. I came to therapy wanting solutions or at least suggestions. I mostly just got a lot of "How does that make you feel?" questions; therapy for me was mostly just going over the same thoughts I regularly went over in my head anyway, just with another person in the room. This was my experience trying out five or six therapists. Incidentally, after doing more research on the field and taking an undergraduate class about foundations for counseling when I was in college, i… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 17/05/26 05:04 AM |
| 6 | Misandrist and feminist loreI still remember when ten years ago, feminists were complaining that men weren't opening up to their significant others enough and they needed to be more honest about their feelings. Now they're saying the opposite, lol. It's the same deal as the subject of approaching women in public... At the peak of the MeToo era you were constantly hearing that men should always just leave unknown women alone, but now they're claiming men need to approach women more often. A lot of things are seen as wrong n… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 19/01/26 05:29 PM |
| 2 | This Page Is the WorstIt's astounding how little respect so-called feminists tend to have for ordinary women. | /r/EverydayMisandry | 13/01/26 04:29 AM |
| 29 | Took 7 different opinions and tried to make it look like the same person said them all. Peak misandrist gaslighting.That’s right, different people have different views. Welcome to being a human. | /r/EverydayMisandry | 06/01/26 05:15 AM |
| 25 | Regardless of Whether or Not This Is True It’s Disgusting That People Don’t Respect a Man Not Wanting to Have SexIt’s funny how “men are perpetually horny while women aren’t” constantly oscillates between an offensive stereotype and an indisputable truth for some people, depending on what’s convenient in the moment. | /r/EverydayMisandry | 02/01/26 11:57 PM |
| 31 | Feminists sub goes mask offHell, the original OP wasn’t even saying that FEMINISTS were bad, never mind women; he was just saying that he found them frustrating online but still wanted to be on their side. Some of these people take the least charitable interpretations possible of their critics. | /r/EverydayMisandry | 24/12/25 03:10 AM |
| 5 | Is the Me Too movement overall good or bad?I’d say metoo ended when a lot of its advocates refused to apply the same standards towards Joe Biden as they did towards other men. That made a lot of the “believe women” rhetoric harder to take at face value for many people. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 23/12/25 10:54 PM |
| 18 | what do you guys think of this video made by leftist youtuber Adam Something? "The Left Created Andrew Tate (by Ignoring Young Men)"Here’s one, though I’d guess it’s more due to conservative culture pressuring marriage than anything else. Regardless, I’m struggling to find any sources backing up the frequently-cited claim that liberals are the more sexually successful ones. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 21/12/25 03:50 PM |
| 50 | what do you guys think of this video made by leftist youtuber Adam Something? "The Left Created Andrew Tate (by Ignoring Young Men)"I agree that a lot of men don’t emotionally support the women in their lives. Having said that, I really don’t think women are any better at emotionally supporting men; it’s just that men mostly just accept this as the status quo. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 21/12/25 03:44 PM |
| 36 | what do you guys think of this video made by leftist youtuber Adam Something? "The Left Created Andrew Tate (by Ignoring Young Men)"I swear that libs’ dating advice to men sounds like something from an after school special. Yeah, a lot of “manosphere” men’s ideas of how dating works are SUPER exaggerated, but most of them stem from legitimate trends; they’re just warped beyond reasonable points. By contrast, feminist dating advice almost always just assumes a just world and acts like there’s a perfect correlation between being a good person and having good relationship success. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 21/12/25 03:42 PM |
| 18 | Intellectual Misandry* ☝️👩🔬When men outpace women in education it’s seen as a structural issue, yet when women outpace men in education it’s seen as a personal issue. This despite numerous studies showing that women and girls are graded more leniently on average than men and boys. | /r/EverydayMisandry | 16/12/25 04:49 PM |
| 26 | Not sure what to title this oneIt’s funny because I’ve always viewed it the opposite way; companionship has always had inherently human connotations to me, and people using the term in reference to pets always struck me as a bit of anthropomorphizing. | /r/EverydayMisandry | 16/12/25 01:06 AM |
| 68 | People Height Shaming Josh Hutcherson and Short Men in General Because He Said He Wasn’t a SwiftieI’ve legitimately never seen a fandom even close to as deranged and cultish as Swifties, and I say that as someone who enjoys many of Taylor’s songs. | /r/EverydayMisandry | 11/12/25 12:48 AM |
| 20 | What is your opinion on Johnny Depp vs Amber Heard and the shift in public opinionIt’s partly just that Reddit has become even more partisan and, frankly, worse at critical thinking than it used to be. You get a LOT of takes on this site that get treated as common sense that I very rarely encounter in real life. I wouldn’t assume that Reddit is indicative of opinion as a whole. Nonetheless, it’s concerning to see the site’s shift in opinion over the trial. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 07/12/25 11:11 PM |
| 8 | Supporting Women’s Rights =/= Supporting Modern FeminismI’ve always found this feminist obsession with labels super weird. Why the fuck does it matter what word you use to describe yourself? I’ve met people who identify as feminists whose views I respect and people who don’t identify as feminists whose views I respect. Conversely, I’ve met people who identify as feminists whose views I don’t respect as well as people who don’t identify as feminists whose views I don’t respect. What I care about is the essence of your beliefs, not the label you apply … | /r/EverydayMisandry | 30/11/25 05:30 AM |
| 16 | "Get a vasectomy or else you hate women"Vasectomies aren’t guaranteed to be reversible. If you are sure you don’t want kids, then yes, getting one is the responsible thing to do. But it’s not a good idea if you’re considering kids in any capacity. | /r/EverydayMisandry | 28/11/25 03:17 PM |
| 24 | All men benefit from the actions of violent menI’ve always wondered whether posts like this are projection from feminist men. It seems to me like feminist men are usually the ones who think they’re being unusually good men by doing the bare minimum of basic decency, and I suspect that some of them like to imagine that all men feel that way rather than just themselves. | /r/EverydayMisandry | 23/11/25 05:21 PM |
| 42 | "The average man has more privilege than the average woman"It sounds like a lot of her arguments literally just boil down to “I’m not familiar with this so it isn’t true.” Impressive that you even bothered to rebut such an incoherent argument. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 22/11/25 06:13 AM |
| 67 | Always Dodging AccountabilityI’m tired of these fucking arguments. Why does it even matter? I’d argue that misogyny and misandry are usually intrinsically connected in any case, so this argument could be made in any direction for almost any gender issue. But why make that argument anyway? Rkegardless of why people have these ideas, they should be fought. Framing it as being about misogyny doesn’t change the fact that ideas like this should be fought. | /r/EverydayMisandry | 20/11/25 10:03 PM |
| 7 | People lump all parts of the "Manosphere" togetherI personally would describe PUAs as more extreme than incels, since many of them actually use arguably manipulative methods on real people whereas incels mostly just stick to themselves. Otherwise, I agree with your post. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 19/11/25 02:24 PM |
| 18 | The Fact That a Man Made This Video Is Just SadI legitimately have no idea watching this short whether this guy is a feminist or a conservative. It’s kind of wild how, as much as they hate each other, their views of gender dynamics are ultimately far more similar than they are different. Both think men should be forced to risk their lives for the benefit of women, who are too fragile to fend for themselves; the only real difference is that conservatives think women should have some level of restricted autonomy in exchange for being the prote… | /r/EverydayMisandry | 19/11/25 03:23 AM |
| 19 | Lol NoWhat are they talking about? I see left wing men talking about relationship struggles all the time online. Granted, you could argue they do it in less toxic ways than certain sects of right wing men, but it’s very common nonetheless. I can’t remember the specific study off the top of my head, but I remember reading a scientific study on the demographics of self-identified incels which actually showed that a greater proportion of them identity as liberal than conservative. I’m sure I could find t… | /r/EverydayMisandry | 16/11/25 01:59 AM |
| 6 | Misandrist grifting and projectingI’ve seen this talking point all over reddit in the last year or so about how often not women are with ugly men and I just… don’t see it? To be clear, I don’t see the reverse often either, I just usually see people dating people of similar attractiveness to themselves. I’ve honestly never seen that talking point outside of the internet nor did I ever see it before a year or two ago… it’s honestly odd to me how quickly it’s caught on. | /r/EverydayMisandry | 09/11/25 09:17 PM |
| 3 | When talking about circumcision, focus on the physical damage and loss of nerve endings.Completely disagree. Even if circumcision did no physical damage, unnecessary body modification without consent would still be a massive issue to me. By contrast, if the procedure was consensual, I wouldn’t care about the things you mention. Besides, the specific amount of damage it does has been debated a lot. By contrast, the lack of consent is objective and indisputable. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 09/11/25 09:13 PM |
| 1 | Fucking GrossEven if women were disproportionately raped, that still would be irrelevant to the other issues being discussed. Multiple problems can exist at once. | /r/EverydayMisandry | 08/11/25 09:18 PM |
| 7 | Misandry being banned is somehow a bad thingI’m genuinely curious; what the fuck do these people think misandry means if not hatred of men? How does “hatred of men isn’t real, but I hate men” make sense? | /r/EverydayMisandry | 07/11/25 11:11 PM |
| 35 | A lot of misandry is very anti-autisticAs an autistic guy, this is honestly part of why I could never connect to the feminist movement even when I was younger and had more positive views of mainstream liberalism. It was always obvious to me that most of the guides about creepy things that make guys toxic would look like a diagnosis guide for Asperger’s if you remove the two or three most egregiously wrong bullet points. What’s even more disturbing to me is that people seem much less ashamed of this ableism than they used to be. When … | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 03/11/25 01:10 AM |

I used to hang out there sometimes, but while there’s some good stuff to be found there, ultimately it’s too biased a community for me to feel like it’… | /r/EverydayMisandry | 27/10/25 08:25 PM |
| 9 | Being apart of this “misogynistic” subreddit means gatekept out of safe spaces if you’re an abuse victimI honestly struggle to imagine what on this sub would be considered misogynistic. People here bend over backwards to avoid sounding like they’re generalizing women. I can’t help but suspect that they decided their opinion on this sub as soon as they saw the name, and no matter what the content of this sub entailed they would have stuck to their decision. | /r/EverydayMisandry | 27/10/25 08:21 PM |

| 11 | If It Were the Other Way Around This Would Be Called Slut Shaming and InsecurityI have complicated feelings on this. Clearly OP did nothing wrong, but I generally agree with the comments saying it makes sense for his girlfriend to be uncomfortable. Inevitably people are going to have insecurities about partners’ sexual histories; if you really love someone, the goal ought to be to overcome those insecurities though and to recognize that your unhealthy instincts shouldn’t ruin a good relationship. However, I’d still stand by all those things even if the genders were reversed… | /r/EverydayMisandry | 16/09/25 11:32 PM |
| 9 | any assault on a woman = "incel attack"?It’s still difficult to get used to. Five years ago, “incel” had already taken on negative connotations, but it was still understood as referring to a very specific type of misogynist. It meant a man who struggled with relationships and responded to his struggles with misogyny. It’s annoying how broad the term has become; any use it might have once had has long disappeared. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 16/07/25 05:04 PM |
| 11 | “Why are men self-conscious about something society makes them feel self-conscious about?”Yeah, emotional intelligence is a real thing, but in my experience a LOT of people who preach about emotional intelligence use the phrase to mean “always knows exactly how to address my emotional needs without requiring me to address any emotional needs in return.” | /r/EverydayMisandry | 28/06/25 12:45 PM |
| 5 | When Men Ask This They’re Referring to Self-DefenseI personally don’t use arguments like this because they’re a bit inflammatory for my taste, but it’s not hard for me to understand the point of them. In our society, violence against men is fairly normalized and is not really seen as a substantial human rights violation. The same is not true for violence against women. So the implication is that if you support equality when it benefits you but are fine with gendered double standards when they benefit you, you’re a hypocrite. The obvious retort w… | /r/EverydayMisandry | 21/05/25 02:21 PM |

| 18 | Using “incel” as an insult is immoral and obnoxious.It’s fascinating to see just how quickly the term “incel” has evolved. Even five years ago, it was generally understood to refer to a specific TYPE of misogynist, ie a man who struggles with dating/sex and takes it out on all women. It didn’t used to be a catch all term; there were also terms like MGTOW and PUA which feminists also used for other types of men they perceived as misogynistic. I honestly don’t think it’s a coincidence that the one that stuck (and absorbed all the other terms) is th… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 30/03/25 06:41 PM |

| 23 | Is this sub a fan of the Good Men Project?I think Jordan Peterson’s advice can be useful for a very specific subset of men, specifically those severely lacking purpose or motivation who just need a clear-cut self-improvement goal to focus on.

I don’t think I’ve heard a joke in my life where the punchline was a woman getting raped; that’s mostly just online edge lords who just try to anger whoever is the easiest person to anger. | /r/EverydayMisandry | 16/02/25 06:54 PM |

I swear that most of the arguments complaining about it boil down to “we have different standards for what constitutes an agreeable lifestyle, and mine are objectively correct!” I do think that it’s important to take each others’ priorities into account and try to be agreeable to them, but this should require compromise on both ends.

| 25 | "Men are lonely because they're too picky"It really says a lot that a lot of people hear men use the word “lonely” and immediately interpret it as holding sexual connotations. A lot of people who claim to oppose gender stereotypes have ridiculously stereotypical views of men. | /r/EverydayMisandry | 20/01/25 04:03 AM |
| 37 | "Men are lonely because they're too picky"Even putting aside the ridiculousness of the scenario, it’s crazy how entitled some of these types are. They’re like the gender flipped version of the stereotype of a man who won’t take no for an answer. Not everyone is attracted to you; it isn’t a human rights violation for someone not to be interested in dating you. | /r/EverydayMisandry | 20/01/25 12:57 AM |

You’re essentially asking people to stop focusing on the genuinely bad people and instead zoom out to a less focused perspective… surely that would do far more to help the genuinely bad people than to hurt them?

I’m not an expert on the actions of the MRM, but I do know it has set up shelters for abused men as well as filing lawsuits against certain discriminatory organizations (notably selective service). | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 09/01/25 06:35 PM |
| 17 | Subreddits that breed ''male guilt'' type of people, is incredibly sad to see.It’s especially sad because in my experience, the guys who are drawn to those sorts of communities are those who already have a lot of self esteem issues and frankly are too insecure about themselves as is without external incentives to hate themselves even more. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 04/01/25 03:49 AM |
| 19 | The gender double standards surrounding breakups and the separation of relationshipsAnecdotally, I’ve met women who openly admit that they would defend and protect their friends even if they committed murder. I’ve never at any point heard a man say something similar. I don’t think all women defend all women no matter what or anything, but assuming good faith based only on shared gender is something I’ve observed far more often in women than men. You even see this play into feminist thought; for instance, saying that a man complaining about his ex or his mother implies misogyny … | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 28/12/24 01:59 AM |
| 25 | It’s elderly men’s fault for being lonelyIt gives me similar vibes to the people who respond to complains about financial struggles with “get a better job!” Yeah, that would be nice, but you can’t just change all of society to be more accommodating. I agree that it would be nice if more men had sympathetic communities. I don’t think most lonely men are choosing not to have close male friends; either they don’t connect to other men easily or other men struggle to understand them. | /r/EverydayMisandry | 24/12/24 09:03 PM |

As women’s gender roles have grown less relevant, there’s been an increasing emphasis on self-actualization for women, on examining what their own desires and goals night be regardless of how much they benefit others.

You saw a lot of that during the Depp-Heard trial, when people were basically arguing “well yes she abused him, but some of his reactions were bad too so he shouldn’t get that much sympathy.” It was especially maddening after feminists spent so many years dissuading that mindset in circumstances of a man abusing a woman. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 08/12/24 06:25 PM |

Most male gender roles directly convenience the upper classes’ accumulation of profit. I don’t think you can have a fully productive conversation about men’s issues without addressing this. To a lesser but still significant extent, it means questioning the social status quo.

It’s like some of them want to have their cake and eat it. They still want men to protect women and put themselves in danger to keep women safe. They still want men to put aside their needs and insecurities if it has a risk of making anyone even mildly uncomfortable.

It seems like one of Reddit’s default responses to a man doing something that frustrates a woman in a relationship is “he’s just insecure,” which in and of itself is meant to imply that he’s in the wrong and the woman is in the right. As if insecurity in and of itself is shameful. I legitimately don’t think I’ve EVER seen Reddit use “insecure” in the same context for a woman.

And this is harmful for male issues.I agree with your general premise that neither traditionalists nor feminists are helpful towards men’s issues, but I don’t think you’ve done the best job of backing it up. You present a very simplified description of history. You claim that women once weren’t allowed to work or be financially independent.

In my opinion the appropriate response to both should be “it makes sense that you feel that way, but the ideal circumstance should be that you overcome your fear in favor of healthy caution.” However, the default feminist response to fear of men is “any and all of it is justified,” whereas the default response to fear of women is “none of it is justified.” | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 18/11/23 08:44 PM |

Granted, not all men nor all women are identical to each other, so it's possible that individuals have different experiences.

Only a few people had the power to significantly affect most peoples’ lives, and those people were generally men; but men as a population didn’t have much if any control of the status quo.

Left wing spaces are as bad as conservative ones in terms of how they treat autistic men. Both see us as threats due to our reluctance to conform to social norms.

You’re essentially telling him “you’re failing even though everything is rigged in your favor” and “you only struggle relative to others because of how much people love you and hate the other people”.

I also can't help but laugh at the second-to-last paragraph, since everything mentioned there with the exception of dress codes and telling girls to cover up seems to apply more in the other direction in my experience. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 24/09/20 12:10 PM |
| 9 | What did ruth bator ginsburg do in her career for feminists and how did it affect men?From what I understand, before her banks were allowed to deny women property due to their gender. This doesn’t mean no woman could ever own property, but if they were denied it there was nothing illegal going on. I certainly support this particular change. Having said that, it definitely has been exaggerated. | /r/MensRights | 21/09/20 11:03 PM |

| 1 | I’m not “anti-feminist”, I just think self-proclaimed “feminists” can do betterWhether or not I’m an antifeminist depends on your definition of feminism. I’m certainly not against advocating for women’s rights on the basis of equality. I am against conjectures like patriarchy and rape culture which seem to be pivotal to feminism, though. Ultimately I don’t really care about labels. I just care about making positive change. Sadly a lot of feminists aren’t on the same page as me in that regard, at least in my experience.

It also inconveniences men throughout their lives by taking away a sexually pleasurable part of the body as well as removing the protection of the penis head, which causes the skin to keratinize and this grow less sensitive to fine touch. | /r/MensRights | 13/09/20 07:26 PM |

In the last few centuries, it came to the point where men did have more rights, but they also had more responsibilities. So they weren’t exactly privileges.

Via Man of value on InstagramI mean, I like the sentiment, but this takes the typical feminist narrative of victim blaming men for not speaking up and acting like the problem will be solved if they just change their attitudes.

Having said that, I would argue that right wing ideology is too traditionalist to really be good for men in the long run. Sure it acknowledges men’s issues as a gotcha to feminists, but the core of its belief system sees things like alimony, conscription, and circumcision as acceptable.

| 22 | Leftbook attacks socially awkward and autistic men for using autism as an excuse for not understanding boundaries; also defends diagnosed narcissists.

| 6 | What effect do certain feminist campaigns have on you?I went through a phase a couple years ago where I was very self loathing and misandrist in general. I genuinely believed that the majority of men felt entitled to women’s bodies thanks to MeToo and the like, and that I could turn to the same attitudes if I didn’t constantly and carefully monitor my thoughts.

But women are human beings with human emotions, and the majority have enough moral fortitude not to take advantage of the opportunities they’ve been given to treat men unfairly. I’ve also met some women who treat me and other men wonderfully. I suggest forcing yourself to spend a bit of time with some of the nicer-seeming women in your life. That should hopefully improve your feelings of them as a group. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 12/06/20 03:35 AM |

I’d argue that there are already parts of the so-called manosphere that have a reasonable and cohesive approach, it’s just hard to find them amidst the toxic waters. I don’t think the majority of MRAs want to, as you say, return to the 50s; on the contrary, most seem quite critical of the male provider role. Not all, but a majority.

Women also need to unlearn "toxic masculinity" and stop devaluing men's emotions.Maybe in some instances, but I don't think as a rule that's true. I think in general it's because they know people will bully them and use it as leverage against them. I've met few men who genuinely are afraid of looking weak and many who are afraid of what people will do to them if they engage in behaviors that might not be considered masculine. I don't think it's about weakness as much as it's about protecting oneself, as well as the understanding that it is probably futile. Of course, that's … | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 10/05/20 04:12 AM |

Women also need to unlearn "toxic masculinity" and stop devaluing men's emotions.To the people here arguing that this is still toxic masculinity, keep in mind that as a whole people tend to place the blame on these sorts of behaviors solely or primarily on men. They acknowledge that women can theoretically encourage it but utterly refuse to admit that they, and external rather than internal factors as a whole, may be among the main reasons why men tend not to be emotionally expressive.

We agree that non traditional personalities should be acceptable in men. The thing is, feminists go one step further and say that femininity is the only acceptable personality for men to have. They paint masculinity as toxic and inherently wrong, and are fighting to remove it as an acceptable male behavior. That’s what we mean when we refer to a crisis in masculinity.

| 18 | A feminist lab knowing promotes bad science to defend circumcisionI feel like a big part of it is that acknowledging circumcision as a massive human rights violation would lead to a situation that’s been going on nearly unchallenged for a century in the developed world where males are indisputably the bigger victims. This is highly threatening to the woman-worsting ideology.

| 2 | Aren't women ever tired of being portrayed as "poor victims" by intersectional feminism?That’s a crying shame. I really want to support BLM, and unlike feminism I agree with pretty much all of the issues they say their movement stands for.

I think there are plenty of other women who are tired of it too, though many are afraid to speak out in fear of being called gender traitors and internalized misogynists. In particular, my understanding is that a lot of working class women don’t like being told they need to feel personally ruined by feminist-emphasized microagressions. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 07/04/20 02:26 PM |

| 3 | Do you believe in equality between men and women?So I haven’t met any MRAs but from what I’ve seen from them online, they have a tendency to believe in gender inequality meaning that men are superior and women are inferior and things like that. I’m guessing you’re confusing “anti feminist” with “MRA”. Other anti feminist groups like red pillers do indeed believe in gender inequality, but I’ve never met an MRA who did. We believe very strongly in equality. | /r/MensRights | 06/04/20 01:28 AM |
| 2 | Why don’t you consider yourself a feminist?See, I think patriarchy is a blatant oversimplification of things. Men really haven't been historically on top.

IMO patriarchy just isn't too accurate a word. | /r/MensRights | 06/04/20 01:16 AM |
| 3 | Why don’t you consider yourself a feminist?This idea that women can’t defend themselves and men are stronger than them, thus men can’t be abused is a patriarchal concept. It really isn’t. It was popularized by the feminist Duluth model. Politicians later passed the Family Violence Prevention Act which was gender neutral, but feminists lobbied to replace it with the woman-favoring Violence Against Women Act.

I think women like you in the movement have a lot of power in having the ability to help feminists come to terms with men’s issues.

| 6 | Why don’t you consider yourself a feminist?Yeah, the people in charge of the feminist movement are the ones who are anti-male. Some people like Warren Farrell, Erin Pizzey, and Christina Hoff Sommers have tried to reform the movement, only to be utterly demonized and hated by feminist leaders. The movement continues to pass laws that harm men significantly. Feminism isn’t and never was actually about equality of the sexes. | /r/MensRights | 05/04/20 09:46 PM |

| 1 | “Sex Positivity” and Promiscuity Culture gave me emotional trauma.But feminists also act like it’s cut and dry.

| 3 | So is rape a "right" for men?Of course not. I’ve never met an MRA or antifeminist who thinks men have the right to rape women. Some of them do think that the feminist definition of rape is unfair, since, for instance, it treats consensual drunk sex where neither party is sober as rape of the woman by the man. I would agree that this is a hypocritical double standard. On the other hand, a lot of feminists do seem to think women have the right to rape men.

Look at the Duluth model and the violence against women act, which default men as abusers and women as victims regardless of an individual situation. Look at the uses of Title IX to remove men’s constitutional right to due process. Like it or not feminism has done a lot to discriminate against men.

But when do MRAs ever just blame women? | /r/MensRights | 23/03/20 09:49 PM |

Veil/headscarf/hijab - this can reasonably be seen as misogyny in my opinion, though it also reflects a fear of male sexuality.

In any case even if they were, a lot of feminist data is indisputably cherry-picked. If they held themselves to the same standards they held others to, they’d make their list.

But men who genuinely prefer dealing with life in a masculine way are not inherently toxic. And by the way, studies have shown that it’s healthy for boys to play rough.

| 2 | Anti feminist jokeGood but would be even better if aspects like discrimination in education systems, prison incarceration, workplace fatalities, suicide, homicide, and the like were put in. | /r/AntiFeminists | 09/03/20 07:17 AM |

| 7 | A lot of the posts on r/TwoXChromosomes are acting extremely toxic.I’m guessing those same people will make posts mocking men’s day once it comes. By contrast, pretty much all the posts I’m seeing here on women’s day are either totally celebratory or along the lines of “we’re happy to celebrate you, but we’d like you to appreciate us too.” Their projection is hilarious. | /r/MensRights | 08/03/20 09:12 PM |
| 8 | What do you think about MensLib?There are occasional good discussions, but usually they’re so wrapped up in woman worsting (in other words, regardless of the situation they’re convinced that women have it harder than men) that nothing too productive comes out of the sub. They’re way too apologetic towards feminist theory and their censorship is insane. | /r/MensRights | 08/03/20 06:03 PM |

Shout out to the following women: The Honey Badgers, particularly Karen, Allison, Hannah, and the Prim Reaper Cassie Jaye Erin Pizzey Christina Hoff Summers My mom. She sacrificed a lot to raise me. She’s the one who taught me the importance of genuine equality, and why I had no obligation to follow the biased feminist narrative.

| 25 | What do you think of the slogan "The Future is Female"?I don’t like it. It’s exclusive by definition. The way the English language works, an adjective without a modifier is generally assumed to be all-encompassing (i.e. “my shirt is blue” brings to mind an image of a solid blue shirt, not a blue and red striped shirt). To be honest, three years ago, before I was too knowledgeable about either feminism or the MRM, the slogan was really what pushed me firmly towards the antifeminist end of the culture wars. I especially worry about its effect on young… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 08/03/20 04:32 PM |
| 11 | Why women outnumber men in higher educationI’m sure it’s somewhat related to the scholarships for women. Plus, the feminist influence of academia could possibly influence more women to find higher education appealing than men. I’m not sure why else. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 08/03/20 04:11 AM |
| 2 | Toxic femininity gets reduced to acceptable things... That loud violent woman that abuses you in public should keep right on being herself...As a man I’ve literally been called everything on the list. And guess what? I responded each time by reflecting on myself and taking the effort to self-improve. It’s crazy how feminism is so strongly opposed to basic human decency (from women, that is. Men have to be white knights in shining armor ready to save the poor helpless yet empowered women from manspreading and air conditioning.) | /r/MensRights | 08/03/20 01:28 AM |

| 12 | "Nearly 90 per cent of men and women hold some biases against women: UN report". A quick review suggests the UN were biased against males as not looking at biases against men; also this poor methodology means one can't see about which there were stronger biases e.g. with regard to domestic violenceIronically, pretending it’s impossible to be biased against men is itself biased against men. | /r/MensRights | 07/03/20 03:00 AM |
| 7 | This may be a stupid question, but what can be done for boys with intellectual disabilities, learning disabilities, e.t.c to succeed in life?It’s hard for me to say. Perhaps shelters for those with very dysfunctional learning conditions would be nice. Obviously a general overhaul of culture to diminish the pressure for men to provide and sacrifice would be particularly beneficial to those with learning disabilities. Finally, I’ve already discussed this here before, but I think we need to address the issue of creep shaming. As I’ve mentioned many times, men with learning and social disabilities are disproportionately likely to unwitti… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 07/03/20 01:51 AM |
| 7 | "Sacrificing Her Career"I absolutely hate it. It implies that raising a family is not worthwhile and being exploited for labor is inherently better. Incidentally this rhetoric is what turned my mom anti feminist. She always said motherhood was by far the most fulfilling aspect of her life and thought it was insulting that feminism has worked so hard to bring shame on it. | /r/MensRights | 06/03/20 08:47 PM |
| 9 | But what about over 80% of the victims being male?I'm sick of "femicide" being used to refer to ANY murder of a woman. | /r/MensRights | 06/03/20 01:50 PM |
| 7 | Feminist Letter To This Subreddit In GeneralThanks for your letter. You sound like a very kind person, and I absolutely support you. I do not however support your movement as a whole. Throughout its history it has done far more to hurt men than to help us. It's responsible for the Duluth model, which assumes that in any given circumstance of domestic violence the man is always to blame. It's responsible for the Violence Against Women Act, which amended a gender-neutral law to turn it gendered. It's responsible for recent usages of Title I… | /r/MensRights | 06/03/20 05:06 AM |
| 11 | Creating new vocabulary thrashing on men to "empower" women. Sorry to say this, but are they sure that men are the fragile sex?There's a LOT of projection regarding how feminists think society views women. They claim that their patriarchy puts down femininity, disapproves of motherhood, and makes women feel constantly afraid. All of those are actions which are routinely enacted by the feminist movement. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 05/03/20 09:53 PM |
| 38 | Creating new vocabulary thrashing on men to "empower" women. Sorry to say this, but are they sure that men are the fragile sex?This is pathetic. A lot of things here (unnecessary modesty, repeating what others said) are not gendered at all in my experience. And I usually see dads demonized as deadbeats no matter how much effort they put in. I don’t understand why some feminists think dads are so over praised (other than the zero sum game perspective they have in which they think any attention at all towards men inherently takes away from attention towards women). | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 05/03/20 07:31 PM |

OpenCounseling: A way to find counselors. No complaints here. PAPYRUS: Looks good for the most part. That said the site presents suicide explicitly as a non-gendered issue, which is misleading.

Here's my take on the mental health-based resources: Next Gen Men Canada: As has been pointed out by another user, this seems to be your typical anti-male anti-masculinity organization. Men's Action Network Ireland: Seems okay, albeit too apologetic towards feminist organizations than would truly be beneficial. Men's Development Network Ireland: Seems to be mostly focused on making men not abuse women. Not especially helpful to men in… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 04/03/20 10:53 PM |
