When discussing men's issues what term do you use to describe your views and beliefs?

Solid_Asparagus8969 · 2024-10-09T13:48:16+00:00

MRA. If you really care about men's rights, you have to use men, man, or male in the branding/labelling. I understand the appeal to cater to a broader audience, but if you want to shift the culture that hides, ignores or relegates men's rights/problems to a second place... you have to lead by example and put men first.

I honestly never give it a name.

Grow_peace_in_Bedlam · 2024-10-09T13:24:02+00:00

Egalitarian

And no, despite what Wikipedia says on the subject, I do not support Feminism.

LongDongSamspon · 2024-10-09T13:44:25+00:00

None, just state what I think of specific issues or overall more general issues.

DrewYetti · 2024-10-09T16:50:44+00:00

I consider myself as a men’s issues advocate as I would like to raise awareness of issues that men face that are detrimental to men’s wellbeing which society tends to ignore due to gynocentrism and show that men aren’t as privileged as feminists want everyone to believe.

PeonSupremeReturns · 2024-10-10T01:13:38+00:00

Egalitarian. I should add that I never, ever talk about this IRL.

Missouri-Egg · 2024-10-09T23:37:57+00:00

Common sense. We deserve to be treated the same legally as a man and men deserve to be treated equally to us.

'Unpopular sanity'

Emserz · 2024-10-10T02:08:36+00:00

I try not to. The sooner you start using labels, the sooner the debate turns into tribalism. I find that people are more receptive when talking about individual issues.

Imaginary-Comfort712 · 2024-10-09T13:27:32+00:00

Equal rights and obligations for everyone, focusing on individuals and not groups.

Asher-D · 2024-10-09T22:29:30+00:00

I usually dont name it. I just state my views and opinions. People are pretty averse to the term MRA and some assume that means you hate women or wish malice on women. Why name it when people will shut their ears as soon as they hear names like MRA or Egalatarian or any variation of that? I also like to make sure people know Im truly am thinking of fairness and justice and balance everything I say or else they dont give a shit about when I bring up mens issues.

SlyPogona · 2024-10-10T03:42:10+00:00

Post-feminism, I do not regard the tradcons values so by no means I want to be in a label that is heavily linked with conservatism, and it also gives you an opening to talk and being listened

Jake0024 · 2024-10-09T15:21:51+00:00

Egalitarianism is a good one.

Anything like "men's rights" etc just sounds to everyone like a reactionary anti-feminist movement. If you don't like feminism, I don't think it really makes sense to mirror the things you don't like in the opposite direction. Better to elevate the standard than race to the bottom.

63daddy · 2024-10-09T18:40:05+00:00

I am first and foremost an equalization or egalitarian. I don’t believe anyone should be discriminated against because of their demographics.

While I’m against all discrimination, these days, men are especially discriminated against in almost all aspects of society including selective service, education, healthcare, domestic violence handling, job hiring, business ownership, criminal sentencing and more.

johnnycarrotheid · 2024-10-09T14:59:43+00:00

I don't use any tbh

I just say I believe in equality across the board, current systems don't want that so I'm checked out 🤷

Learning too long about the systems in place, was what formed it. Most "movements" are limited in scope. It's a tear it all down and start again job, as the foundations are rotten

iainmf · 2024-10-09T18:03:14+00:00

I'm a Men's Rights Activist because I do activism for men's rights.

I don't use a term to describe my beliefs, although egalitarian probably fits.

SidewaysGiraffe · 2024-10-09T18:42:59+00:00

I don't- I just discuss individual issues and call for fairness. That in itself pisses enough people off that I don't need more specific terms.

safestuff987 · 2024-10-10T19:14:54+00:00

Egalitarian.

NullableThought · 2024-10-09T14:22:07+00:00

I just say I'm against bigotry and for human rights.

If I need to call myself something, I call myself an egalitarian but I usually avoid so around feminists because somehow they think it means I hate women or something.

DeeLowZee · 2024-10-10T00:36:35+00:00

Red Pill. Once you recognize reality for what it is, and not what you wish it was, there is no unseeing it.

mhk23 · 2024-10-11T22:38:05+00:00

Understand the origins, history and agenda of feminism first:

Masculist (which is not same as Masculinist and I deem them opposite in many aspects)

Men_And_The_Election · 2024-10-09T15:50:13+00:00

I advocate for male well-being.

2024-10-09T15:59:41+00:00

It first started as masculists, then settled at mens righst activist

Lexers624 · 2024-10-09T16:10:07+00:00

MRA (men's right activist) is described as online terrorism by various online law enforcement agencies like the politburo FBI.

Masculinist is often treated as a slur and using that word likely will have your post muted/shadow banned by several social media. As will whatever term that will replace it.

HaroldRedd · 2024-10-10T05:47:53+00:00

Unfortunately the term is not something I’d ever use IRL. It’s a few notches above labeling oneself as a listener of Alex Jones and bemoaning the powerful Globalist (I.e. Jews) elites. I’ll happily point out the hypocrisy in society when appropriate (women’s rooms having a baby changing table where the men’s doesn’t). No, I don’t self-own nor accept the term.
