It stays free — no paywall, no account — for the next man who comes looking, the way it was free for you.

Lmao. If I had a dollar if every feminist cried "ThAT'S nOT rEAl FeMiNIsM," when another feminist did something they didn't like, I'd have enough money to start a men's shelter.

Dude - can we make this more of a pro-men sub without the tearing down of anything/anyone?
I just joined because I thought this sub might be above the hate/ridicule/etc. garbage that other subs seem to thrive on. I don't care what drama is happening in other subs. At all.

Seriously?
How about enforcing rules 1, 2, 6, and 8.
Also having a low or zero tolerance for low-grade and inflammatory posts. The main page right now has the following stories/links which are not men-positive but actually women/feminism/social-negative :
This constitutes about half of what I scrolled through. Each of these is either inflammatory, irrelevant, low-effort, or redundant in the sense of "yeah we know already".
What these do, is stoke the anger without providing any means of alleviation. How do you come to terms with an image of statistics? How do you further the men's cause by pointing fingers are pinkpillers?
There's a very low SNR in this sub. And I ain't got time for hate.

Exactly what "checking" do you think is happening here? Simply pointing out misandry/misandrists is like saying the sky is blue. Yeah...so? Do you really think that these examples are news to anyone? Add new, relevant items to a sticky post on that subject if you want to keep a tally. Otherwise just.let.it.go.
At the end of the day, about 80% of what is posted here is wasted time and bandwidth. There are some good articles, resources, and discussions, but there's so much other unhelpful noise that I am unwilling to sift through it and the adjoining hostility posts to find it.

There are a couple ways one can react - blame outward and hate the external, and stay focused on that, or turn inward and accept (or ignore) what's going on and just ask how can you better yourself and those you know.
Not every post and reply is the former, but it predominantly is.
There's a grain of truth to the notion of "man up", and it's contained in the serenity prayer:
I'm not religious but this is really a mature way of dealing with the world and your place within it. And to me, reflecting back to everyone those things which you cannot change is antithetical to the men's cause. You cannot change the mind of Amber Heard any more than you can change the content of the image on imgur.com. You can change the minds of those you interact with, especially personally. I have low confidence in minds being changed on reddit; it takes an already open mind. Regarding Amber Heard, et al., the only useful step IMO is to chalk it up to the list and move on.
Perhaps young men think they can change the world in a single stroke. Not gonna happen. Change starts within and reverberates out. That's always how positive things go.
As I write this some things are coming clear for me. Young people need to go through a period of yelling at the inequities of the world. It's a REALLY good thing in my opinion. But at some point that absorption of the external, and internal energy generated therein, needs to be utilized for something good and positive. This is where I see the failings in things like this and worry about my brothers faltering. No one wants to be an incel. But if one cannot move past the endless negative external stimulus and into one of of acceptance, (NOT tolerance!!) that energy just becomes cancerous and can metastasize.
So as an observer, I sit and watch what seems like an endless echo-chamber of hate and finger pointing, and wonder what good will come of that. I feel the need to help lift men out of that pit, so they can be self-loving, self-reliant, self-determining, self-confident, etc. I'm on this journey myself and wish I had that role model to help me; but I'm old enough and wise enough to lend a hand to others and know it will at least not be a harmful one. But it's taken a long time to get there.
I appreciate this dialog. Thank you.

It's like trying to disavow Andrea Dworkin's writings without disavowing Andrea Dworkin.

You can, but it would also be silly to say that bad sects of Christianity are not actually Christian.

If we were to assume that the people with highest IQ go to college than looking at college enrolment rate in USA (about 40%) it doesn't really look that unplausible. It would mean that 48% of women and 32% of men go to college, that isn't really that extreme.
And yes, it's probably about other options.

Dude really? Like you can’t think of one thing that feminism has done that’s a net positive to the world through the enablement of women?
Google it. Feminism, when it comes to women’s equality has done a LOT of good things.
Just so we’re all clear - I would prefer the term feminism to stay solely on women’s rights and causes. We have our own and I don’t want that term diluting or distorting that, nor should woman want it either.

Historically it has had positives, but there isn't really a place for the movement in the modern world.
[+]sedawkgrep1 points [recovered] (1 child) | Copy Link
I disagree completely.
As we reckon now and in the future with both male and female issues, the advocates for each side need to be aware and vigilant. It's going to be a LONG time before there is no such thing - if ever.
