Why Men's groups can come across as hostile. Forgetaboutthelonely January 13, 2021 79 upvotes /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates We're used to hateful terms used to demonize us being used as a cornerstone to preach to us about how we supposedly function. We're used to our issues being ignored or swept under the carpet in order to maintain sexist paradigms that place men as the perpetrators We're used to rhetoric about how we're not emotional enough without ever looking into why we don't express vulnerability in a society where doing so is detrimental to our wellbeing. we're used to Victim blaming rhetoric that treats us as a monolithic cause to things that victimize us We're used to being denigrated and made to feel guilty over the privileges a small minority of men have. We're used to every little thing being used as evidence of men being sexist and oppressive. Even when it's unrealistic Even though we as men are used to being lonely nameless background noise in society Is it any wonder we're defensive?
