12	What do you guys think of “Positive Masculinity”? It always seems like these people think life is some kind of role-playing game where you can just spend skill points on "postive masculinity" skills.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	09/01/23 04:11 PM
14	LWMA Need to Fight & Address Suburban Sprawl/Car-Dependent Infrastructure to Significantly Mitigate/Resolve Male Loneliness Yep, can confirm this for Germany. Big, dense cities give you more opportunities though.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	09/01/23 08:50 AM
16	LWMA Need to Fight & Address Suburban Sprawl/Car-Dependent Infrastructure to Significantly Mitigate/Resolve Male Loneliness No. Loneliness isn't restricted to romantic relationships, regular friendships are also part of it, maybe even a bigger part, quite a lot of men in a romantic relationship don't have any friends. For romantic relationships your assumption would only hold if there was a sex ratio of 1. In western countries there tend to be slightly more women (although more young men than women), in eastern countries there tend to be more men. Even within countries you have location dependent sex ratios, more wom…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	09/01/23 08:47 AM
18	It's time to let go of "toxic masculinity" Even if the grammar confusion wasn't a problem, the term is still bad. You can see this in the way "toxic masculinity" is often used to mean "something bad that men do", shifting the blame for that behaviour completely onto men, while it is often a learned behaviour for surviving in our society of which men and women are part. Toxic behaviour stems from toxic expectations and a lot of these expectations are coming from women.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	20/12/22 01:39 PM
26	Why do teachers give girls higher marks than boys? Italian researchers have the answer [No, they don't] Oh, wait, yeah, that's how all my grades in school got ruined. "Participation in class" was 60% of the total grade, exams were only 40%.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	19/10/22 12:58 PM
41	Why do teachers give girls higher marks than boys? Italian researchers have the answer [No, they don't] How can you even inflate grades in maths, either the solution is correct or it's not. I always assumed the problem was more in classes that involved a lot of writing where it's easy to "justify" better grades because grading texts is rather subjective.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	19/10/22 12:07 PM
2	Meat, masculinity and bullshit Yes, it assumes that all emissions are either from men or from women, men's share would be 58.5% and women's share 41.5%, which would mean that the absolute difference is 17% of all emissions while meat makes up 20% of all emissions, 0.2/0.17 = 1.176. Don't forget what exactly PETA claims: "men are responsible for 41% more climate emissions than women because they eat meat", the assumption is that the only difference is meat consumption, it also reads like women don't eat meat at all.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	30/09/22 02:10 PM
5	Meat, masculinity and bullshit It can be simplified to 0.2/(1.41/(1.41 + 1) - 1/(1.41 + 1)) = 1.1756 or 0.2/(1.41/2.41 - 1/2.41) = 1.1756 1/(1.41+1) or 1/2.41 is the share of total CO2 produced by women. 1.41/(1.41+1) or 1.41/2.41 is the share of total CO2 produced by men. PETA claims men produce 41% more CO2 than women, so we define CO2 produced by men as 1.41 times CO2 produced by women, total CO2 produced is the sum of men's and women's CO2 which is 2.41 times CO2 produced by women.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	30/09/22 09:25 AM
20	Meat, masculinity and bullshit PS: Somebody please check my math. 0.2/(1.41/(1.41 + 1) - (1 - 1.41/(1.41 + 1))) = 1.1756 = 117.56% Checks out.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	29/09/22 12:21 PM
8	"Most politicians are men" Well, most men aren't politicians, politicians have power, not men. Would liberal women be happier if there were more conservative women in politics?	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	28/08/22 04:34 PM
5	Young men are slipping quietly through the economy’s cracks Correlation does not imply causation.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	01/07/22 10:08 AM
3	EU set to introduce mandatory 40% quota for women on company boards to boost equality the human rights court in the EU The EU doesn't have a human rights court, the Council of Europe (has nothing to do with the EU) has a court of human rights.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	08/06/22 09:06 AM
1	How feminists derail men's issues with "equal rights vs equal oppression" Just a lil nit-picking: I wouldn't call a swiss canton a municipality, cantons are the member states of the swiss confederation, a municipality would be something like a city or town.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	03/02/22 10:09 AM
