Do you think either side of the political isle in America really takes mens rights seriously?

ThrowWideTheGates · 2025-07-04T02:20:21+00:00

The left is actively antagonistic to it. The right is more varied but I would guess mostly ambivalent

throwaweigh96 · 2025-07-04T02:52:59+00:00

Neither side really does anything about it, but the left is a bit worse since they're openly hostile about it.

The right is more like "yeah, this thing does kinda suck. So anyway, can you do us a solid and hop in that meat grinder anyways?"

Okay, firstly, I'm a female and I talk about men's rights all the time to most of my friends and family.

People who are somewhat receptive to the info: conservatives. The truth about them is that they just have never thought about men being victims of anything. Conservatives tend to be less keen on identity politics, from what I've seen. At least they listen.

People who are combative, call me names, change the subject, say that I'm lying, say they don't believe me: liberals. They try to gaslight me into thinking i don't know what I know. They present their anecdotes as facts. They have no perspective outside of their own and refuse to see my point of view or even mull over the statistics I give them. They result in classic misandrist remarks in response to me.

Neither takes it anywhere near as serious as they should. Mostly because male voters don't take it seriously. Women, unlike men, vote for female issues. We need to do the same, that would make the parties consider our issues. Having said all of that, the Left has declared war on men. So, the Right, seeing an opportunity to get votes, every now and then throws us a bone. It's not much, but it's better than outright hate.

A big step forward was men voting Republican last November - I think it was by 8 percent. So even the Dems took a little notice and started talking about how to get the male vote. It's nothing of course, just a small step in the right direction. We need to keep doing that until the Left changes - I'm not holding my breath though. Right now I'm voting for the Right. The Democrats need to overhaul their entire party. Until that happens, I'm voting Right.

Heavy_Consequence441 · 2025-07-04T03:35:39+00:00

The left literally tears down and blames men. The right at least wants them to be strong and realizes society would not exist without strong men

AnFGhoster · 2025-07-04T02:27:08+00:00

Neither side really does much for us. Largely because they're incapable of doing anything meaningful for anyone.

But when it comes to us specifically the republicans are a party of no ideas and the democrats are the party of bad ideas.

Liberals are all too happy to adopt the idpol that was incredibly hostile to us by backing mainstream feminism and integrating it on the institutional level and conservatives never want to improve much.

Effectively this means men's rights are a non-starter for the vast majority of voters. They don't care about it and it's not taken seriously.

AParadoxicWolf · 2025-07-04T02:31:00+00:00

No. I don’t pay a lot of attention to the news anymore, but in my opinion, no one cares about anyone.

The right uses it as bait imo, in the end they don’t give a single fuck, they just want to make themselves rich.

I’ve never heard the left address anything about men, I honestly don’t even know what they stand for anymore after they started reaching more towards the right to try and win.

Former_Range_1730 · 2025-07-04T04:51:54+00:00

Well, definitely not the left, specifically when it comes to hetero men.

The right cares as long as we're talking those who are more near the center. But the far right only cares more about race politics than men's rights.

FourEaredFox · 2025-07-04T08:21:57+00:00

Generally, men just need to be given the tools to fix their own problems. When one side is actively taking tools away, and the other is ambivalent? No, neither side takes it seriously.

AmpzieBoy · 2025-07-04T14:11:33+00:00

Fuck no lmao; while the left just hates men, the right sees the men as another body.

I do agree that we do need to defend a nation from attack, but it comes to a point when you guys just want more war pawns, and that’s what mostly the neo-con party is

MikiSayaka33 · 2025-07-04T20:54:07+00:00

I'm Right Wing. But I sometimes feel bad for voters that can't vote for their guy, because their party abandoned them and forced their hand to vote differently or stay at home. (Like what happened with the Bernie Bros. Earlier. The Democrat party told their base, "I don't care what you think. Just vote who we want (i.e. Hillary Clinton) or else.")

Right now I don't blame the Democrats for running off to the Republican party, because the Democrat party is treating them like trash/"I didn't left the Democrat party, they left me." It's not just men's issues, it's issues in general.

What I am saying is that the Democrat party drank the political correctness Koolaid and views normal well-adjusted men as racist rapists. The Republican party is too slow and are hesitant to sip that.

World-Three · 2025-07-04T12:05:40+00:00

I think the only side that'll take it seriously is the one who actually has a stake in it.

Politicians seem pretty immune to allegations. So it probably doesn't matter to either side aside from getting votes... And you see how one side chose to handle that...

At this point they should invest 50 million dollars into cheating in the next election...

danielm316 · 2025-07-04T14:28:01+00:00

No, every side wants to gain and maintain power. So, until men start voting for what is in their best interests, politicians will ignore men’s issues.

MakeItSloppy4Me · 2025-07-04T16:37:11+00:00

The right really doesn't do anything for men outside of sweeping legislation that includes men because we live here. The left.... the left outright hates men.

The left hates men so much they somehow thought running a political ad for president that said what a "real man" is and that real men support women, for no reason other than... woman.

You can say the right doesn't like women, but they have never run something so blatantly targeted and so negative towards women.

Ok-Consideration8724 · 2025-07-04T19:50:08+00:00

The left is openly attacking men and now realize what they’re doing. In the US they’re trying to figure out how they can get men back in their side. They’re failing terribly.

coleas123456789 · 2025-07-05T06:43:50+00:00

The left wants men to be their mule boys the rigth wants them to be their servants .

NoMortgage2156 · 2026-03-07T14:45:43+00:00

IMO I won’t focus on parties just the individual candidates themselves

erik_reeds · 2025-07-04T17:40:01+00:00

well rightwing policies are worse for human rights than leftwing policies and those human rights include men so obviously the left would be preferable

FlapjackFez · 2025-07-04T17:51:51+00:00

The Left (as a whole) doesn't care about men and in many cases actively despises them, the Right (as a whole) pretends to care

compmanio36 · 2025-07-04T20:22:33+00:00

Neither party works for you and I thought this would have been made clear by now. Oh well, they'll keep pounding you from behind until you get it...
