I don't understand the point of this subreddit.

There are prerequisites for social change

1) Knowledge - you have to understand the problem

2) People - you need a decent number of people who have that knowledge

3) Connection - those people need to be connected (and feel connected) together to be effective

4) Action

This sub provides mostly 1 and 2, a decent amount of 3, and some 4

This subreddit provides a wealth of information to men on how they’re being discriminated against. A lot of men hold deep toxic biases about masculinity like “Men shouldn’t cry”, “Men can’t be raped”, etc.

Just because you’re enlightened about men’s rights issues doesn’t mean others aren’t still trying to reconcile old biases. This is a good sub for that with honest emotional support and information on men’s rights.

About whether or not this sub convinces feminists...

Firstly, unlike a lot of feminist subs, this sub doesn’t just ban whoever doesn’t follow X ideology. It’s a whole lot more open to debate than feminist subs.

Secondly, do you have a better alternative for spreading awareness about the inequality feminism perpetuates? Most mainstream media will seldom cover men’s rights. And other social media groups like Facebook can be tricky for emotional support as that runs the risk of leaking personal information, unlike Reddit which is anonymous.

what good does stopping talking about any of these things do?

in fact, stopping talking about them causes vastly more harm than silence.

Will it stop False rape accusations?

We have stopped numerous false accusations here by giving proper advice. There was quite a few posts I remember where there were young guys absolutely panicking about getting into a one night stand with a girl and they mysteriously declared they were pregnant despite only having sex once.

I actually remember having to educate them about the chances of pregnancy even when you're not wearing a condom ( Still recommend contraception obviously but the idea of getting a girl pregnant from a one night stand is over-exaggerated movie/T.V shit ) and to never sign anything and request a paternity test.

Very often they'd come back and it would turn out that the girl quickly runs away because the women who try to commit paternity fraud are gold digging sluts who banged a douchebag they liked and then they're trying to entrap somebody with a stable career who can actually look after them.

Feminists never talk about this stuff, ever, because in their heads men can never be the victims of anything and women are incapable of pulling shit like this. When you do talk about it you're immediately decried as a misogynist and anti-women but in reality it's because they're fucking terrified of even discussing these issues since it messes with their political narrative.

Those are two immediate examples I can think of where this sub has directly helped people. In regards to false accusations specifically we get a lot of men and even some women asking about what to do in a situation in the workplace where a man is being falsely accused or blackmailed by a woman.

Again, false accusations are another topic that feminists won't dare touch because of shit like MeToo because you know, women would never lie. Sometimes by the way, simply telling them to get a decent lawyer ended up fixing it they would report back and they find they ended up fixing the situation and putting a stop to it all just by consulting a proper professional and not some political activist who's going to shame them for even speaking out about it.
