Unsolicited feedback u/TheTinMenBlog ;)

I really like what you are doing so I hope this helps. These are things I am learning myself.

I like the repetition to show including men makes sense. It's also good to have people agreeing with you first so they are receptive to new messages.

Naming the value would make it clearer. EG First image could be RESPECT (or another value that fits better). I think people use intuition for their values so hopefully naming it makes it more real to them.

Use positive language wherever possible. (eg this line was going to be "don't use negatives", then "avoid negatives", both of which go against my own advice.)

Try to avoid use words like "not", "don't", "can't". Positive language makes the idea clearer. (eg rather than "positive language does not confuse the reader". The reader is left asking "Well, what does it do?"). That's why Men are Human is much better than "men are not the enemy".

It also gives a clear course of action if you are asking someone to do something.

In this case, I think each image could have said "Being X, does not mean I am Y" so you are contrasting a positive statement ("being") with a negative one. And at the end say "Be consistent with your values".

~~BTW, this comment was hard to write. Following my own advice is difficult~~

BTW I took my time to write this comment to make sure I followed my own advice. :)

Just some thoughts. You decide if you like them or not.

I am not my gender? Is there something wrong with your or my gender? I don't think so. That should be rephrased to something that means "My gender is not a problem and one bad apple doesn't spoil the bunch", like the rest.

dingoperson2 · 2021-03-23T02:18:06+00:00

#menarehuman is a good post.

"I am not my gender" is idiotic shit. It implies that there's actually something wrong with men as a gender. What you would expect from "LeftWingMaleAdvocates".

A slogan like that for women would never be popular, because women would feel that it was anti-woman. It's anti-men.

Why is Men's Rights being politicized? Left wing nor Right wing should be a thing in this conversation. This mission needs to keep a common goal and not get divided into smaller groups. That's how a cause dies. Im 100% for equality and men being treated as equals in ALL aspects but adding "I am not my gender" dilutes our message in with the gender identity movement going on. I understand the collab just think we should all be on the same page pushing the same thing. Maybe they are and im over analyzing but I instantly thought of the trans movement when I saw that in quotes instead of men's rights movement.

I am definitely my gender.

SignificantDog3912 · 2021-03-24T15:00:34+00:00

menarehuman hashtag should literally explode and be popular but how we do that?

-P5ych- · 2021-03-23T01:09:35+00:00

That is all very good. I'm glad they got someone making stuff like these. Many feminists are not going to talk to us, but they might see this.

The my culture one is kind of worrying.

Does that mean if something is my culture then I get an exception to the law if I cry racist?

modcolocko · 2021-03-23T01:55:17+00:00

Can I recommend switching to a differrnt font like fira sans

Also its super clean and sends a message clearly.

starwarsgeek1985 · 2021-03-24T16:05:04+00:00

Identity politics is a societal cancer. We are individuals and should be free to remain so.

I don’t get it

#men are human

Gwfun22 · 2021-03-23T02:15:01+00:00

Great post honestly

robroygbiv · 2021-03-28T02:58:08+00:00

Wait - has there been some sort of “men aren’t human” campaign that I’ve missed?

Jepekula · 2021-03-22T23:38:06+00:00

“Left wing” and “male advocate” is an oxymoron.

Master-Strategy6482 · 2021-04-03T21:49:25+00:00

No one said men aren't human. And comparing the experiences of people of colour and queer people to the experience of a white straight man ( which make up the majority of men's rights activists ) isn't only harmful but just fucking blind. Men are not oppressed, so stop trying to make it out like you are oppressed.

Showmemoonlight · 2021-03-23T13:39:51+00:00

"I am not my gender".

Oh cool, so you're all non-binary then? Happy coming-out.

Weakness is the fall of the world they make apps for lgbtq these people use the app now they become more powerful..

A trans female now complains that she wants to be treated like a wife

No apps for men??

Because men are gone

We are 7.9 billions..

The number of men and women in the world is roughly equal.. but hear me well

3/4 are females.. you have 1/4 biologically females... and the rest are people who are weak dont have enough resources to sustain a family..

You know why?

Because money is the new currency

Money is the way and money isn't power anymore

Its equity its assets

If you want to feel that you exist, you have to own businesses and assets

That the only way your voice can be heard as a man..
