I want circumcision banned because as an intact guy I know exactly what I would have lost if it had been done to me.

The misrepresentation of rape and domestic violence statistics to make it appear a gendered issue so funding and services focus almost solely on male perpetrators and female victims. They aren't gendered issues with neutral definitions - "nonconsensual sex" and "family/relationship violence".

any form of mandatory conscription. the government shouldn't have this much reach over its people.

Child custody and related issues

I'm a father of 2 kids

I suppose if I had to pick I'd say "male disposability" but that's really just a way of saying "all of it".

I think men should be treated like human beings and not like shit on someone's boot.

I'm interested in two issues that are doable.

The first is fighting for rebuttable presumption of 50/50 default equal shared custody on divorce.

National Parents Organization

And education reform for boys and men.

National Coalition for Men

The vilification of men. I think this is why, for me, men's rights activism is heavily toed with anti-feminism, since feminism is the driving force behind the dehumanization of men. It's a broad issue, but an important one.

Lack of explicit inclusion of men in law and policy.

1. The demonization of the male gender as a whole. This is the biggest threat of all in my humble opinion because even though there are more explosive issues, the anti male sentiments in society drain empathy and compassion from those in a position to help and even from those affected by these issues. When you have politicians embracing anti male laws and attitudes to appeal to their constituents and a narrative of men as evil oppressors of the past who must be defeated is rampant nothing gets done. Even worse you have many men who have become corrupted and addled with this sickness who then turn on their fellow men, defending their gender’s enemies and providing aid against their own kind.

2. The gender role parasitism that has developed between men and women. There’s a lot to talk about but the TLDR of things is that whether you hate or embrace traditional gender roles, they were an equivalent exchange of sorts—a male provider and guardian paired with a female nurturer who raised his kids and served him in multiple ways.

Now the female gender role is eroding but men are still expected to fulfill our ancient aspect of this partnership despite not getting much from the other side. There is a widespread entitlement to male labor and effort even from those who curse and lambast men as the source of all the world’s ills.

The reduction of men into atomized consumers and sex-crazed hedonists.

2021-09-17T08:06:52+00:00

Limited agency to someones own wellbeing is shrugged upon when men are the topic. Women can't get abortion? Bad. Men are expected to sacrifice themselves at the drop of the hat in the slightest sign of danger or else they'll be shamed? Good.

Child custody, because I went through hell and spent over 30k I didn’t have to fight for my child, eventually won literally only because the baby mama neglected the kid so bad that child protective services had to get involved, then the courts finally believed me

What :Parental Alienation/Erasure/Obstruction of fathers from their kids and Domestic violence against men

Why: Because the effects are devastating, life long, sometimes deadly and intergenerational( kids)

dukunt · 2021-09-17T00:29:43+00:00

Financial abortion for men if they do not wish to be a father. No one should be forced to be a parent. To quote Chappelle, "if you can kill this mother fucker, I can at least abandon him.."

War deaths. It is insane what happens to young boys in war ridden areas. They often are recruited to be child soldiers.

rivaido · 2021-09-17T04:35:50+00:00

Patriarchal stereotypes. It causes too much stress for both genders. Also, bias against men. I know where and why it comes from, but it's just unjust for good men.
