| 9 | Can we please stop doing the "When you are privileged, equality feels like oppression" feminist tactic? I see it ALL THE TIME in both feminist pages and here and it equally makes me cringe. If we want to have better reputation we need to stop doing the exact thing which gives feminism bad reputationBut it’s valid. Feminists really do interpret equality for men as oppression against women. This is shown by feminists calling every person who fights for equality for men a misogynist. They are telling you it feels like oppression to them. The reason it’s cringe when feminists do it is because feminists really do actively oppose and successfully thwart progress on men’s issues... and men, as a demographic, have supported women in their fight for gender equality much more than women supporting m… | /r/MensRights | 13/07/25 02:18 AM |
| 2 | My thoughts about being a man in the US today…I kind of agree with your first paragraph and kind of disagree with it. I too, used to be a male feminist. I think the feminist movement is so blatantly misandrist that the only way someone could truly not know any better like you say is if they had some serious subconscious bias going on. If by “believe” you mean in their conscious mind, I agree with you. But if someone has subconscious bias, they believe in this bias, even if they aren’t aware of it. I guess the reason I push back a little on … | /r/MensRights | 09/07/25 03:54 AM |
| 26 | My thoughts about being a man in the US today…It’s frustrating but also hilarious to see people say “why are men moving right?” and pretend to not know the left has been pushing misandry through feminism for a century now. Or when they pretend to be oblivious and then ask “what’s going on with men?” As if we don’t live in a society that has completely excluded men from gender equality because of feminism, and has no consistency with traditional gender roles, and no consistency with gender equality, with the only consistency being exploiting… | /r/MensRights | 08/07/25 09:58 AM |
| 2 | I know this is not the right sub , but after seeing how media and society compels men to be self sacrificing; my brain short circuits on "living for myself" idea. Is this male disposability and how do other men deal with ?I don’t believe I owe anybody anything because of my sex. Especially my life. Any society that says different is pushing anti-male oppression and immediately loses my loyalty. And every society does push this. That being said, I do wish I had a community to take part in. I’d sacrifice a great deal for a community I love. The left has pushed feminism so men have to watch women enjoy all the benefits of gender equality AND gender roles while these same feminists vehemently oppose gender equality f… | /r/MensRights | 08/07/25 04:54 AM |
| 1 | Why are we like this?It’s her feminist revision of history and how it’s been weaponized against men that is making me skeptical, not necessarily the past itself. I fear that today and tomorrow will be filled with more talk about how men are overall privileged or how society still overall favors men when she says stuff like that. More female-centered takes on gender equality that leave men in the dust. I guess maybe the best way for a politician to thread the needle is focusing on the economic realities that men face… | /r/MensRights | 07/07/25 05:30 AM |
| 4 | ResentmentHang out with women of high moral character. I used to volunteer with nuns and they were 1000x better people than I was. Keep in mind a bunch of software engineers and corporate suits have conspired against you to keep you in a constant state of outrage and there’s a good chance that their algorithms, along with maybe you self-selecting what to read about and concern yourself with, has put you in this constant state of outrage. Your perception of reality is probably heavily warped by this. | /r/MensRights | 07/07/25 05:14 AM |
| 1 | Why are we like this?If it’s truly as bad as you say, then the left can’t afford to alienate men through constant misandry via feminism. There’s too much at stake.

| 1 | Why are we like this?Meh, I’m not holding my breath. She seems like a feminist and that article quoted her saying women have had the cards stacked against them for decades. Of course men and women have both had disadvantages in the past, but it sounds like she’s saying women overall were specifically disadvantaged, which is a central feminist lie used to make sure men are excluded from gender equality. She can’t take men’s issues seriously if she just trivialized them by saying they didn’t stack the cards against me… | /r/MensRights | 04/07/25 10:14 PM |

But I seriously could not stomach Kamala. the left has spread anti-male rhetoric for decades now, which obviously men don’t like, so they vote right. Does the left listen? Try and do better for men? Try and offer men something? No. Each election cycle we’re told “don’t be misogynistic pigs and vote for the democrats.” And this election cycle the messaging was especially strong because the candidate was a woman. So now, men got pushed… | /r/MensRights | 04/07/25 09:23 AM |
| 39 | Why are we like this?The reason men are divided is because they are politically homeless. You said yourself that women support feminism because it helps them. Feminism is a main component of the Democrat platform and leftist politics. Which side has a mainstream platform for gender equality for men? Neither. Their options are the left, which is the side of the feminist movement that oppresses men and has used their 100% control on the conversation on gender equality to make sure men are left behind And the right, wh… | /r/MensRights | 04/07/25 12:27 AM |

| 9 | Denmark expands military draft to women for first time.I think the statement “Danish women already have fought side by side with the men in the past decades” in a conversation about sharing equal responsibility and burden of war is very, very, very, remiss in pointing out that it was nowhere near the amount as men, and the burden of war was much, much, much greater on men.

Many many many men fantasize about being the ultimate badass and shooting people who break into their home, and I find it unhealthy and dangerous.

I could have interacted with others and been more social, but if it would cost me my basic dignity and mean I’d have to accept terrible treatment as a male, I wasn’t interested. I like that you brought up being gay. I’m old enough to remember how absolutely terrible it was in the early 2000s to be gay.

| 12 | A press gang abducts a man in Odesa, UkraineWhat you are watching is a government forcing males, exclusively males, specifically males, because they are males, into military service and death against their will. One of the ways they do it is by kidnapping men off the streets, shoving them into vans, and bringing them to the Territorial Recruitment Centers (TCC). What you are watching is one example of literally hundreds that you can easily find online and geolocate/translate if you wish.

| 4 | A press gang abducts a man in Odesa, UkraineUkraine is facing a demographic crisis where the young are leaving the country for better countries and the birth rate is very low. Because of this, the government is trying to preserve the younger age demographic, so male military enslavement is currently happening at a minimum age of 25 years old. | /r/MensRights | 01/07/25 12:03 AM |

| 11 | A press gang abducts a man in Odesa, UkraineI don’t have the numbers off the top of my head, but it’s very high. Most desertions happen in the beginning when they’re at the training centers, or at the end when they find out they’ve been stationed at the front lines. | /r/MensRights | 30/06/25 11:59 PM |
| 13 | A press gang abducts a man in Odesa, UkraineOnce they have you into the van, they take you to the TCC. These are locked and guarded, and once you are there, you are trapped and will be in custody at every stage until you are on the front lines. This means that at any point that you refuse, you can simply be beaten and tortured into submission. And then once you are on the frontlines, refusal to fight means you’ll be killed by either the Russians you aren’t shooting, or the Ukrainians that enslaved you in the first place. | /r/MensRights | 30/06/25 11:54 PM |

| 6 | A press gang abducts a man in Odesa, UkraineI think it’s a fair thing to ask women to protect their men and take a modest risk, when men are expected, and forced to literally get their brains blown out of their skull and rot in fields for the protection of women. Even if you are correct that the women are just trying to protect themselves. Men don’t act the same way when protecting women. | /r/MensRights | 30/06/25 11:50 PM |

When I would go hunting and do pest control for wild hogs, I was sometimes not allowed to show empathy towards the hogs by giving them an extra bullet to take them out of their misery, and was told to “be a man” and not care.

I just think that the amount of trauma and ignored mental health concerns in men is so huge, and the supply of the good therapists that you talk about is so small, that ultimately it’s a losing game for most men, most of the time. I don’t want to be a cynic or a doomer. Perhaps we should still try, and trying will help shape therapy to be better for men.

| 2 | The Unseen Consequences: How Modern Feminism Undermines Civilizational Stability and Male Well-beingThe individual women who started that path built a foundation based on lies. Feminism, including in its founding days, was built on the lie that we live in a patriarchy that men built to oppress women for the benefit of men. That lie was insidious from day 1, and put us on the path to where we are today, where men are completely forced out of gender equality. If the women who founded the feminist movement had pure intentions, they would have crafted their movement around the honest narrative. An… | /r/MensRights | 29/06/25 10:42 PM |

You can say it’s “reminiscent” of anything, but that doesn’t mean it’s actually the thing it is reminiscent of.

Plus, legally tied isn’t the only way something is tied. Plus, citizenship, which allows you to vote, IS tied to the draft, by law. For men only. For example, Immigrant males seeking citizenship must sign up, immigrant females don’t. Plus, the general idea of responsibility along with rights is pretty universally understood.

I can’t say I’ve ever seen a brutal and disfiguring assault like this played for laughs by such a strong percentage of the men commenting.

That makes it REALLY hard for men or people that care about men to support someone fighting for women’s rights, because 99% of the time they’re also a feminist, meaning they support a movement actively oppressing men.

Patriarchy by definition means rule of fathers. “Pat” meaning father, and “archy” to denote a power structure. To say society is ruled by fathers is to ignore all the other ways other entities have power. It’s about as accurate as saying society is a matriarchy because women have been the primary teachers of the next generation during their most formative years, while ignoring all the ways men influence society.

They are happy to force gender roles on men if they can benefit off of it. They are also happy to deny gender roles if they can benefit off of it.

That’s why it’s called a chore and not just your own personal daily functions. It’s not a chore to wash your own dishes. But the person doing the family dishes has it as a chore.

Tack on the fact that you actually get to see your kids grow up. I work in a hospital, and plenty of old and dying men have told me their biggest regret was spending too much time at work.

The outcome:Hey sorry for the late reply. Feminism actively created and nourishes ideology that obfuscates men’s issues. For example, the lie that men are advantaged and women are disadvantaged requires you to ignore male disadvantaged and female advantage. Because even a cursory look at men’s issues will reveal they are certainly not more advantaged. If you’re looking for more specific examples, there are a lot on this subreddit.

Many issues like suicide are gendered, yet the gendered component is often ignored, or weaponized by feminists to further explain how men are to blame and we need more feminism.

| 17 | Would you say both men and women are nicer, on average, to women than they are to men?Society has largely abandoned men. Universities, media, social media, government, workplace (especially HR) are often inhospitable to men, so men are more likely to simply disconnect. I’ve also seen in my own life that women are expected to be more pro-social than men, and they might be seen as stern, mean, or bitchy if they isolate the same way men do. This is purely anecdotal though. | /r/MensRights | 29/11/23 10:30 PM |

The outcome:The reason men’s rights groups exist is because the only movement that exists that redefines gender and men and women’s place in society is feminism, which specifically excludes men and is only concerned with the welfare of women. Men’s rights groups arise in response to that. There wouldn’t have to be a men’s rights group if there was simply a group that fought for gender equality.

| 4 | What makes us differentThe fact that you are instantly assumed to be conservative when simply advocating for men’s rights is a kind of admission by the other side that men and the fair treatment of men has no home on their side of the political aisle. I do think that conservatives often pretend to care about men only as far as it’s useful in opposing the left since feminism resides there. | /r/MensRights | 17/05/23 01:25 AM |

You don’t fall into this group because it’s mainstream and popular. You don’t get here because you were raised this way by your family or society.

I know women are often the ones in caregiver roles so if I had to guess, it would be women that catch more flak, but it’s just a guess. Not sure. | /r/MensRights | 21/04/23 06:48 PM |
| 32 | My boyfriend's cancer was ruining my mental health so I left himI guess it depends on how far the relationship is, but I think it’s pretty scummy to leave your partner if a lifelong commitment has been made and agreed upon. I will say I’m not in that position so it might just be easy for me to say that... but I’ve seen couples in my family stay together through devastating terminal illness. They would have been absolutely frowned upon by the family if they ditched. | /r/MensRights | 21/04/23 06:45 PM |

As a woman that decided to leave the feminist movement and advocate for men.... this woman has an interesting perspective that you and I don’t have. Nobody is saying she’s more valuable as a person. But you have to acknowledge that women are the vast minority in the world of MRAs and their experience is uniquely different considering feminism had everything for them and they left | /r/MensRights | 28/02/22 05:48 PM |

I was required to take it as a prerequisite for a degree in the healthcare field. Even in the classes for healthcare I met some of the same sentiments though lol | /r/MensRights | 28/02/22 08:08 AM |
| 19 | Why do psychologists have so much trouble understanding and helping menFor example, a common general education requirement is sociology. Sociology is infamously left leaning and believes in those kinds of narratives. When I took sociology my self-proclaimed feminist teacher laughed at how men were drafted. She also cited a few erroneous things like the wage gap. In my psychology class it was the same. My psychology teacher literally looked at me in my eyes and told me men are killing themselves more because of the “survivor theory” where because women have dealt wi… | /r/MensRights | 28/02/22 07:50 AM |

| 83 | Why are there no studies on the fact that the vast, vast, vast, vast majority of men have been kicked, punched etc. in the balls (which is sexual assault), therefore making the percentage of men who have been sexually assaulted probably around 97%?When something happens enough to where it is normalized, nobody cares about it. Normalization means it escapes scrutiny, which means nobody looks at it and thinks about it too much. Plus there are men who are literally brainwashed into believing that sexual violence can’t happen to them. When I was touched I was unironically told that it couldn’t happen to men multiple times. | /r/MensRights | 27/02/22 10:42 PM |

The suffix “-ism” means an ideology or way of thinking The prefix “femin-“ means of the female or feminine. Feminism... by definition... is a way of thinking from the perspective of women.

They don’t know what it’s like for the world to say that your sexuality isn’t yours, it’s theirs. And that they will do with it what they like. Secondly, many of these women are feminists who ideologically have to trivialize men’s issues when they see them, hence their apologetics for male r*pe/circumcision | /r/MensRights | 27/02/22 03:52 PM |

Men being underrepresented in those fields proves my point. The places you find the most difference are the places that have the most cultural influence. Why do… | /r/MensRights | 06/08/19 08:04 PM |
| 1 | I feel like this belongs here. It’s not ‘men’ it’s ‘mentally unstable’But why are just as many women choosing to become lawyers as men? Why are just as many women choosing to become doctors? He points to the nursing example.. yet nursing STILL HAS cultural influences because we as a society have only removed cultural bindings that hurt women while allowing the ones that hurt men to remain. (Women can work or stay at home... men can only work) | /r/MensRights | 06/08/19 07:54 PM |
| 1 | I feel like this belongs here. It’s not ‘men’ it’s ‘mentally unstable’That's my point. As cultural expectations are removed, we see that we are quite similar | /r/MensRights | 06/08/19 07:51 PM |
| -1 | I feel like this belongs here. It’s not ‘men’ it’s ‘mentally unstable’Hinging your whole argument on one word in attempt to discount an argument isn't really an argument. Patriarchy by definition is a system in which males were the primary head of a family unit or society. Do you disagree that we as a society have a long history of that? Also, patriarchy harms men as well | /r/MensRights | 06/08/19 07:50 PM |
| 1 | I feel like this belongs here. It’s not ‘men’ it’s ‘mentally unstable’You raise some very good points about mammalian species being overwhelming a tournament species while birds are pair bonding, and we are not birds. These results are super interesting. Also thanks for the source, that's some thorough work on your part. These studies found that women value financial success and other similar hypergamic traits across cultures. Because it was done across cultures, does not mean it wasn't cultural, and here is why: Culture can be a product of biological factors. Men… | /r/MensRights | 06/08/19 07:49 PM |
| 2 | I feel like this belongs here. It’s not ‘men’ it’s ‘mentally unstable’No problem dude, thanks for the conversation. And I can definitely understand the criticisms you have with the term rather than the idea. I agree with you it is used with a sexist double standard. Thanks for the conversation man, have a nice day | /r/MensRights | 06/08/19 07:29 PM |
| 1 | I feel like this belongs here. It’s not ‘men’ it’s ‘mentally unstable’Dude this was a really good suggestion. Thanks! I took some notes on it: He mentioned as cultural impact is minimized, biological impact is maximized: This is true and proves my point. We have removed cultural expectations, allowing biology to be the main contributor, and what happened? Men and women are becoming MORE similar in observable things like prison population, parenting roles, career decision. As we give biology MORE room to influence us, we see that we, as a species, are quite androgy… | /r/MensRights | 06/08/19 07:27 PM |
| 1 | I feel like this belongs here. It’s not ‘men’ it’s ‘mentally unstable’Yeah that's a good point. If they want to make you look bad they'll find a way. But I still think belligerent language holts progress in general. People are less likely to listen, ideas are more likely to be conflated. Etc.... But I do agree that if someone wants to demonize another, they'll find a way. | /r/MensRights | 06/08/19 07:00 PM |
| 1 | I feel like this belongs here. It’s not ‘men’ it’s ‘mentally unstable’The problem is we do not know exactly what is biological and what is societal. If biology hasn't changed in the last 100 years, why are 50% of doctors women? It used to be almost none. How much is biological, societal, cultural? I'm not sure. But I think it's reductionist to use one discipline (biology) to explain it Do I watch Jordan Peterson: Yeah kind of. I have some problems with him but I think overall he makes some good points. My problems with him: -he relies on quick wit and debate tacti… | /r/MensRights | 06/08/19 06:57 PM |
| 1 | I feel like this belongs here. It’s not ‘men’ it’s ‘mentally unstable’What routine? I didn't mean anything by it. Sorry if you took it that way. "I'm sure men are shitty in many ways" is a classic strawman. I agree with you, there is much hypocrisy in feminist movements. I'm saying that doesn't discount the idea itself. You can take true ideas and manipulate them to do very bad things. That doesn't make the idea wrong, it just makes the person wrong | /r/MensRights | 06/08/19 06:51 PM |
| 1 | I feel like this belongs here. It’s not ‘men’ it’s ‘mentally unstable’Patriarchy is when a man is the leader of a family unit of community. Isn't what you're describing the same? A dependent female on a powerful male? Also, biologically there is a lot of conflicting examples as to how we behave as a species. The examples you provide point to what is called a "tournament species" where males compete for mates so they can pass copies of their DNA. There is another called a "pair bonding" species, in which the differences between male and female aren't so obvious. In… | /r/MensRights | 06/08/19 06:48 PM |
| 0 | I feel like this belongs here. It’s not ‘men’ it’s ‘mentally unstable’No no no I'm afraid you misunderstood. Toxic masculinity isn't JUST about being emotionless. There are other traits such as sexual conquest of violence. And toxic masculinity isn't saying these problems are internal instead of systemic. The problems ARE systemic. It's the SYSTEM that tells boys that this is how they should behave. The system needs to change. There's nothing inherently wrong with the boy. | /r/MensRights | 06/08/19 06:38 PM |
| 0 | I feel like this belongs here. It’s not ‘men’ it’s ‘mentally unstable’I agree. There is a lot of hypocrisy there. But just because bad people abuse an idea doesn't mean the idea itself is wrong | /r/MensRights | 06/08/19 06:31 PM |
| 1 | I feel like this belongs here. It’s not ‘men’ it’s ‘mentally unstable’That's a good way to go about it. But I do think they are to an extent "made" by others to be a certain way, The problem is that it is indeed documented that there are differences between male and female, but we do not know if these differences are biological, cultural, or societal. Or maybe even a mix. I hypothesize that it's largely cultural and societal. Have you noticed that as gender roles in western society is erased, women begin to make up more and more of the prison population? Have you … | /r/MensRights | 06/08/19 06:24 PM |
| 1 | I feel like this belongs here. It’s not ‘men’ it’s ‘mentally unstable’I think our disagreements comes from different experiences then. When I was younger and with my extended family, I could not cry when I was bullied, I could not cry if a dog had died, I could not cry during sad movies. The only time I could cry was pretty much the death of a loved one and maybe if someone fucked their life up real bad. Maybe that wasn't your experience, and that's fine, but it most certainly happens. Basically, any negative behavior that is considered "manly" is toxic masculinit… | /r/MensRights | 06/08/19 06:06 PM |
| 0 | I feel like this belongs here. It’s not ‘men’ it’s ‘mentally unstable’But if a feminist wants to make MRAs look bad, maybe they'll go through your posts and point out your insults. Also I've never heard of a Voluntaryist so I'll have to look into that | /r/MensRights | 06/08/19 06:01 PM |
| 1 | I feel like this belongs here. It’s not ‘men’ it’s ‘mentally unstable’Again dude. If you care about progress you need to get your ideas across on logic, not insults. It's painting MRAs in a bad light. And toxic masculinity isn't blaming only men. Women can perpetuate toxic masculinity as well. Aunts and moms can tell their boys that men don't cry and that men always take damage so a female doesn't have to. Toxic masculinity can be perpetuated by men or women. As far as me having an axe to grind, that sounds like I'm belligerent. I'm not. But yes I am definitely pa… | /r/MensRights | 06/08/19 05:58 PM |
| 1 | I feel like this belongs here. It’s not ‘men’ it’s ‘mentally unstable’Shit. That's a really good point. I think patriarchy puts women into harmful boxes but it puts men into harmful boxes as well, and I don't think feminism is the solution. I think gender egalitarianism is. But that's a good point. Toxic femininity is called "misogyny" and toxic masculinity is called "toxic masculinity" I'll have to think about that one. But i would say just because they ignore their side, doesn't mean our side is illegitimate. Like if a guy and a girl commit murder. Just because … | /r/MensRights | 06/08/19 05:54 PM |
| 1 | I feel like this belongs here. It’s not ‘men’ it’s ‘mentally unstable’Yeah dude I completely understand. I've had to pick and choose what to keep and what to toss when I got older as well, because I was picking up some bad habits. I think a lot of traditional people see men as assertive, providing, strong, and being a leader. While there isn't anything wrong with these traits, it is wrong to make them gendered traits. And toxic masculinity isn't necessarily saying these traits are bad, it's just saying sometimes it can be mutated in a sense and create a different … | /r/MensRights | 06/08/19 05:50 PM |
| 0 | I feel like this belongs here. It’s not ‘men’ it’s ‘mentally unstable’How am I implying that's the only problem? I'm simply focusing on that one in this discussion. Maybe we'll meet in another thread talking about a whole different issue! Also, you have no idea what I care and don't care about. You seem to be using some very selective language. It's painting MRAs in a bad light, and it's an ad hominem | /r/MensRights | 06/08/19 05:42 PM |
| 1 | I feel like this belongs here. It’s not ‘men’ it’s ‘mentally unstable’So you don't think that men are VASTLY more likely to experience these problems? -told they aren't allowed to cry -told they have to be strong -valued on how many people they have slept with -valued on how many fights they can win You really don't think these are vastly over represented in the male population? Surely there's a reason? All toxic masculinity is saying, is that society puts men in destructive gender roles that causes harm. There's nothing INHERENTLY wrong with men, society just con… | /r/MensRights | 06/08/19 05:39 PM |
| 0 | I feel like this belongs here. It’s not ‘men’ it’s ‘mentally unstable’That's up for a whoooollleeee other discussion! And to be honest, I'm not sure! I have a few guesses but I am not sure enough to really take a strong stance! | /r/MensRights | 06/08/19 05:37 PM |
| 1 | I feel like this belongs here. It’s not ‘men’ it’s ‘mentally unstable’I'm sure some women are conditioned that way. But nobody says "women don't show feelings" You're just referring to isolated examples rather than a larger social narrative. How many households do you think raise men to be subordinate home caretakers with women as the leader that's works? How many households do you think do it the other way around? There's a reason it's almost always the guy that is told he has to be strong, emotionless, and go on sexual conquests. Maybe some girls are raised that… | /r/MensRights | 06/08/19 05:35 PM |
| 2 | I feel like this belongs here. It’s not ‘men’ it’s ‘mentally unstable’I never said feminists believe in equality for all. And yes, I do believe toxic femininity exists. Any gender roles that are exaggerated and taken to the extreme is toxic. I advocate for no gender roles. Letting men be dads and letting women be bosses. (If they want) And there's nothing wrong with telling your kid not to cry if they are crying over small and inconsequential things. There IS something wrong with telling a man he isn't allowed to cry because he is male | /r/MensRights | 06/08/19 05:32 PM |
| 1 | I feel like this belongs here. It’s not ‘men’ it’s ‘mentally unstable’Maybe a few people see toxic masculinity and leverage it against males for their own agenda. Maybe that is true But someone taking advantage of a sad phenomenon doesn't mean the sad phenomenon doesn't exist Look at the idea as an idea, is it true or not? Don't look at what people are using the idea for | /r/MensRights | 06/08/19 05:30 PM |
| -3 | I feel like this belongs here. It’s not ‘men’ it’s ‘mentally unstable’But you can be an asshole or a hypocrite about anything. This has a name because it pertains specifically to boys. And again, some people aren't necessarily man haters for it. My uncles instilled a toxic form of masculinity on me and they didn't hate themselves | /r/MensRights | 06/08/19 05:23 PM |
| 1 | I feel like this belongs here. It’s not ‘men’ it’s ‘mentally unstable’Because it's more than a bad upbringing. A man or a woman can have a bad upbringing. But in this case, they had that upbringing specifically because they were male. It comes from a distorted view of what a man "should be" | /r/MensRights | 06/08/19 05:21 PM |
| -6 | I feel like this belongs here. It’s not ‘men’ it’s ‘mentally unstable’You are correct! Feminists often do perpetuate that form of toxic masculinity. But so do many others | /r/MensRights | 06/08/19 05:19 PM |
| -1 | I feel like this belongs here. It’s not ‘men’ it’s ‘mentally unstable’You're right, they are very traditional, but you said they were feminists. That's why I brought it up And I didn't say that was the ONLY cause. I was just explaining what toxic masculinity means. Try and lay off the insults too. It doesn't really make your argument any better and it paints MRAs in a negative light Oh and I'd also like to add that women can perpetuate toxic masculinity as well. Anytime they perpetuate gender roles like men paying for everything or being some tough warrior that ta… | /r/MensRights | 06/08/19 05:16 PM |
| 2 | I feel like this belongs here. It’s not ‘men’ it’s ‘mentally unstable’How am I supposed to know that from your post? But in that case I agree with you. Men aren't the issue. It's society hurting men and making them unstable that is the issue. | /r/MensRights | 06/08/19 05:11 PM |
| 0 | I feel like this belongs here. It’s not ‘men’ it’s ‘mentally unstable’Really? My aunts and uncles weren't feminists when they told me i couldn't cry because I was a man. Neither were the kids in middle school. Hell, they didn't even know what feminism was. You see men expressing themselves? Great. That's beautiful and I'm glad you're in an environment where that happens. But don't exclude the environments where that doesn't happen. | /r/MensRights | 06/08/19 05:08 PM |
| -7 | I feel like this belongs here. It’s not ‘men’ it’s ‘mentally unstable’At the risk of getting downvoted, I'll throw in my opinion: Toxic masculinity isn't about men being toxic. Toxic masculinity is when men are told to be emotionless (except for anger), strong, brave, rough, loud, and a sex god. It's not that men are inherently bad, it's that society conditions them from a young age to be a certain way, resulting in bad behavior. Rather than focusing on the individual, toxic masculinity is a patriarchal phenomenon that tells men they need to act in a very "macho" … | /r/MensRights | 06/08/19 05:03 PM |

| 1 | Why don't more companies advertise like Egard watches?But I don't think any large companies give a shit about anything except money. And if they do give a shit.. it's probably secondary to money. Also they may make up the majority of purchases for something.. but they don't for Egard watches. Which is why I'm wondering why MALE centered companies don't hop on the train of spreading awareness about men's issues | /r/MensRights | 06/08/19 05:55 AM |
