Hi OP, I’ve temporarily removed this. Can you add “np” instead of “www” to all of the Reddit links you listed in your post? This ensures we stay in compliance with Reddit’s site wide rules against possible brigading. Once this is done, I can fully approve it and remove this comment.

Agreed. It didn’t feel like his wife was thinking of his best interests. While one cannot reasonably expect there not to be some self-serving motivations when fixing a marriage - it’s a two way street - you should still care about the other person…

Is it fair to say that I don’t believe in extrajudicial murder, torture, castration, corpse disposal and the recruitment of minors to aid in crimes? Is it fair to criticize “guilty until proven innocent” when it comes to a man being accused of raping a child? To be clear, my personal believe is that he is a horrific monster and a piece of shit who deserved to go to life in prison or possibly even the death sentence. That doesn’t make it okay to recruit underage teenagers to help dispose of the b…

She waited until after the rape event to drug him, then proceeded to stab him, beat him, castrate him, and then recruited the help of a local teenager to take the body to a nearby wooded area and burn the corpse to a crisp.

I dearly hope to hear back from him one day. I remember how much he struggled as a homeless vagabond with getting COVID just back to back, practically. Thank you for your kind words, internet stranger. It gives a bit of comfort when I worry about him usually to myself and my current gf.

I am so deeply sorry for what you went through. I used to date an undocumented immigrant who was trafficked from Eastern Europe as a baby in the post-Soviet landscape; his traffickers were a group of 4 women from Georgia. It sickens me how people don’t realize that women do human sex trafficking too, and that males can be victims.

Dude, I’m speaking from personal experience as someone who has had many frustrating talks with “white moderates” in my family, and they see shit like this and it causes them to dismiss the problem or take more of a “I’m not touching this subject” attitude. Also straight up I’m 5’5”, so like… yeah, of course I’m gonna look at this woman and be turned off by it.

Submission Statement: What’s happening in Minnesota echoes 1930s Nazi Germany. The individual in the video is a fascist, full stop. That said, why is mass belittling—mocking height or penis size—suddenly acceptable if the target is deemed to “deserve it”? More importantly, this approach is strategically self-defeating. A large number of moderates are only now beginning to recognize what’s at stake. Many of them are not persuaded by ideological purity tests or gleeful dehumanization, even when ai…

I think it is related to what we discuss on the sub a lot about both male sexuality being demonized, and also that men who have difficulty getting laid are viewed as inherently problematic (“they must’ve done something to be unable to have sex, it is their fault!”)
/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates21/12/25 08:02 PM

The study goes into detail about this - chat bots and robots (or what they designate as “sextech”) were viewed negatively for both genders by both genders, but were universally judged more harshly for men.

Even as a mod here, I have zero shame admitting to the use & ownership of sex toys and sextech because it’s a ridiculous double standard. As someone who had my genitals mutilated at birth, I’ll take anything that can help me attempt to find some morsel of comfort and happiness with my own sexuality and body. Even then, I admit that in the past I’ve deleted comments and posts of mine to r/Fleshlight solely out of fear that someone may search my post history and accuse me of being a “gooner”. Whil…

It would be to challenge the “women and nonbinary only” attitude that is extremely prevalent and exclusionary of enbys like myself. It’s unfortunately actually a HUGE issue in the queer community, AMAB enbys tend to get shat on and excluded far more than AFAB enbys… we simply get coded as “default dangerous man”. I’ve had well-meaning cis family members say “Oh… well this group is for women and nonbinary, but you’re enby, so you should join!” and I don’t have the heart to explain that it really …

Yeah, I suppose the whole point was “OK, welll… I’ll just toggle on this option and if a driver gives me shit, I’ll take it from there”. Heck, maybe I’d just complain to Uber, who knows.

Not being sarcastic there, I respect when someone knows to reel it in a bit.

Uber drivers are bound by California’s Unruh Civil Rights Act, which applies to all business establishments, including sole proprietors and independent contractors. That means you can’t refuse service because someone is trans or non-binary, even if you’re an independent contractor, just like you can’t refuse a Black passenger “because of safety” if the real reason is race. This has been upheld by CA courts repeatedly. You’re welcome to read: • Koire v. Metro Car Wash (1985) • Harris v. Capital G…

The amount of assumptions in this is astounding. Firstly, being non-binary or trans 100% is a protected class in my state, California (where Uber is also headquartered). Secondly, I’m not just abusing the system to make a point - I’ve been legally declared as non-binary per California state regulations since 2019. Get your facts straight: https://www.aclusocal.org/en/know-your-rights/lgbtq-rights-california-amidst-recent-executive-orders Also, you don’t have to provide a reason to deny service. …
/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates24/07/25 05:53 PM

Right, but you can’t refuse service on the basis of a protected characteristic even if you’re an independent contractor. Now it would take a real idiot driver to directly say it’s because of a protected class, but there’s a non-zero chance.

I’ll do you one better and simply use this service and … well, not think about how I’m presenting that day at all (FWIW, it’s usually masculine 70% of the time and androgynous the other 30%). The moment that a woman gives me shit for being non-binary AMAB, I can document it and start making a case for sex-based discrimination despite explicitly being one of the classes this service is advertised for.

I think this comment unfortunately lacks the awareness of how much “women and non-binary only” tends to really mean “women/AFAB/heavily feminine-presenting AMAB only”. Us AMAB non-binary folks deal with misandry all the time and tend to have really bad results when attempting to enter “women and non-binary only” spaces. Put more bluntly, good luck not being viewed as an intruder if you use this feature, if you are non-binary but appear male.

Your post/comment has been removed, because it fundamentally disputes egalitarian values.

Resident non-binary mod here: this thread is a great space for discussion about how nonbinary identities and misandry tie in with each other. But please see this response to remember that you can identify with many of the things OP has said, and still feel confident in your gender identity. Our community is fully 100% supportive all of all nonbinary and trans people, and the intersection of men’s rights and LGBTQ issues that come with that.

So I felt like chiming in to the conversation here as one of the founding mods of LWMA in 2019. I am non-binary myself, and it’s not too difficult to guess which sex I was assigned at birth given the subject matter of our community, lol. I think you both raise some very good introspective points and questions. At the end of the day, how YOU want to identify is what truly matters. I’ll fully admit that I fit many of these boxes myself - I’ve had a history of continuous SA victimization throughout…

Stop being aggressive to people, man. You’re allowed to express your opinion, but this is contingent on not using personal attacks on users. You have already received a temporary ban for a few hours this week. If you continue to violate Rule 7 and Rule 13, we will steadily increase the amount of time allotted to each subsequent ban.

Must I reiterate that I had no power to fix anything until I was granted permissions by a Reddit admin a couple of days ago?

I am referring to discussions held on Discord, a different platform than Reddit. Again, it was removed at the very start for a temporary 15-20 minutes or so while brigading concerns were addressed, as many users who follow TTM on Instagram come from other subs like r/MensRights.

What he said is misleading. Within 5 days of being added as a mod by one of the old mods who closed the sub (as a last hurrah, “here have the keys I’m outta here” type decision) he was already going to his community on Discord about how I would make a shit head mod.

We never stated that you are not needed here in LWMA. We said that you make a great activist and content creator, but that as we rebuild a mod team, your help isn’t needed at this time. You carry a history of moderation controversy within left-wing male advocacy communities on Discord, and additionally - personally talked about me behind my back about how I was being a poor head mod for being inactive for 4-5 days.

The dynamic between my gender identity and biological sex (agender, AMAB) greatly informs my MRA views. I experience deep dysphoria about being viewed as a male when it is something that literally isn’t me, which makes misandry cut super deep. When I see misandrist statements about males, it makes me feel like I’m trapped in a body that is reviled and demonized by society… it doesn’t help that 80% of the time, misandry stems from discrimination on the basis of sex rather than gender.

It entirely depends on the individual, but yes, some do lean on their gender to commit abuse against men or those born male.

Telling women that it’s contrary to female empowerment to be scared to walk alone at night just sounds super weird to me I assume your view is that women should be empowered to eventually feel safe walking alone at night, right? That women’s empowerment means we need to end violence against women and enable them to do so. I disagree. When I want to walk to my local 7-Eleven with my sister at 8pm and she tells me “I can’t, it’s nighttime and I’m a woman”, that’s NO empowerment. That’s fear and pa…

Thank you for your kind words, I really appreciate it! I’ve put a lot of effort into fighting the paranoia that comes with this stuff. And while there have been a lot of unsafe moments throughout my life, I’ve actually had far more good moments (even with strangers or just out in public, like when I hitchhike). I channel these traumas I’ve had into activism and sharing my story, which makes me feel a lot better about it. Also. Therapy and safe usage of psychedelics really help too, lol

Tonight, I was talking to a family member who is getting ready to go back to in-person university.

I asked her why she had so many weapons - after all, I am no stranger to safety on the streets as a former runaway street kid and current hitchhiker - and her response was “…Because I’m a woman.” This line of thinking that encourages gender-ba…

The average person (or should I say, the average feminist) often doesn’t realize just how institutionally powerful feminism is and how much it actively goes out of its way to oppress men. People give you platitudes of “Feminism’s dictionary definition is just equality between the sexes” or “Those are radical feminists!” — but this well-written post from an MRA woman is about as good a rebuttal as it gets.

A TERF is a Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminist, or feminists who don’t support transgender people. AMAB (and AFAB) are terms used to describe people in the trans community as either “Assigned Male At Birth” or “Assigned Female At Birth” (aka what was listed on your birth certificate when you were born.)

I’d wholeheartedly disagree, as some born male and who identifies as trans/non-binary. TERF ideology is becoming ever more prevalent in feminist circles, because feminism’s core philosophy is about the male sex being oppressors and the female sex being victims. TERFs view trans women as evil men trying to appropriate being a woman, and non-binary AMAB people as trying to escape culpability from being born male. That’s why non-binary and trans people are becoming ever more common in communities l…

To be fair, the teenage years are key parts of development and it would be nice to reduce reliance on the “men must always initiate” gender role earlier on. But yeah, it’s probably more common to ask “How do you feel about us going out/becoming official?” when you get older.

I’d disagree entirely, as we are significantly different from any other animal and our behaviors are highly based in sociological factors.

This sub does attack feminism and rightfully so.

It is horrible for a woman to not consider the opinion of a man, but it is her body and her choice regarding her health and bodily autonomy.

Non-binary AMAB here, and I would have to say male abuse victims. I’ve been in an abusive relationship with a woman before and people tend to not understand the stigma that comes with it simply for being men or being born male.

I am pro-choice 100%.

The problem is that they’re circlejerking about how terrible men are and how men are always rude about interrupting, which is a generalization. Also, in the comment you replied to, a woman admits to treating her boyfriend poorly since he has ADHD. These are still issues that affect men.

You’re using a male privilege argument without directly saying it. “Boys will be boys” very hardly gets any boys out of trouble these days.

“Boys will be held accountable for their actions” is a far cry from what you’ve described. It’s misandry, plain and simply.

Part of the problem is that AOC was criticizing words that Mitch McConnell and his campaign didn’t even say; they said “These young men aren’t affiliated with our campaign, they’re high schoolers”, which is a far cry from excusing their actions with the “Boys will be boys” phrase. Even then - her tweet is still using broad-brushing terminology that, if used on any other large demographic based on their immutable physical characteristics, would be rightfully considered bigoted and sexist.

It is demonization of men. Let’s pull an /r/menkampf: “Blacks will be held accountable for their actions.” “Jews will be held accountable for their actions.” It ascribes the actions of a very small minority of men to that group as a whole, using broad-brushing terminology.

I literally don't understand what you're saying. You mean I go into a discussion expecting conflict and trying to start it? I said what I did at the beginning in an honest effort to start a balanced, open-minded conversation with people here.

This makes no sense?? People like to tell others the good things they see in them and compliment them. I would definitely want to tell someone that they're beautiful if they didn't think they were.

Did you not fucking read what I quoted? It's not. About. Their direct visual appearance. There is also their physical form that has beauty. I legitimately think they're beautiful, you can't just say I don't think they're beautiful.

You're so incorrect because that's not what I'm saying at all. Quoting another user here: Most people do not understand that beauty is not limited to physical appearance. It is an aesthetic quality, yes, but it is a deep appreciation of the form of something, and it takes a wise individual to understand forms beyond their literal vision. All the people opposed to thinking everyone as beautiful cannot grasp well enough an abstract form to appreciate the fact that it can have beauty. This is not a…

YES. Thank you. The human form is absolutely beautiful and someone's face can be mangled, burnt and destroyed but I still see the beauty of their form.

It's necessary because everyone deserves to know that the way they look is still a good thing regardless of what others say. I see value in everyone, because I see beauty in everyone. Maybe I don't feel attracted to their looks, but I can see how someone else might and still think that makes them beautiful. you're too dense to see it Thanks for insulting me, that's constructive to a discussion. /s

They know they aren't attractive according to cultural norms, me telling them they're beautiful is saying I don't care about cultural norms and standards of beauty because I still think they're beautiful. You're misguided if you think that is a disgustingly harmful thing to tell them.

I meant with regards to gender and discussing it here on Reddit or elsewhere, in a world dominated by feminism. And after getting insulted here even in this sub multiple times, and being unable to have a moderate, balanced discussion, I put that up as a prelude to say "if you want to immediately dismiss me or treat me like crap don't discuss this with me". Maybe including I dealt with that a bunch already would've put it into perspective, but that doesn't make it "incredibly abrasive and insulti…

I'm not saying everyone's bodies are perfect. I'm saying that we are all beautiful bodily regardless of its imperfections. I guess all it comes down to is that the concept of beauty is how we perceive people's physical appearance. I'm saying rather than judging and ranking it, we should see what beauty there is in a person regardless of how it compares to others.

Getting this message from anyone who wants to help you with your body image may not help you, but getting this idea out there (of male body positivity) is important and we need to do it to bring actual change.

To see and understand it. To come to the realization that you are beautiful regardless of intersubjective standards. And in my opinion - to accept it as a component of your inherent value.

What I'm trying to say is we need to be able to find our outer beauty even if we aren't beautiful according to society's conventions.

"It's okay to have a tummy, or be skinny with no muscle, it's ok to be short and have acne, stretch marks and cellulite u are all handsome in your own way and deserve to love yourself." It's okay to have acne, be overweight or skinny with no muscle, or short, because no matter what, you are beautiful in your own way. This isn't exclusionary to being healthy and trying to improve your body.

Here's the thing: It's sociological. Different societies have different definitions of what a "handsome man/beautiful woman" is. So it's not about being objectively unattractive, and there are a lot of "unattractive" things you can't fix or compensate for. In that case, yes - men are beautiful and *do* deserve a message like this.

The thread was specifically about males doing it for women to make them feel safer, or at least that's what most replies were about. It's probably not healthy to avoid women as a whole because of the small chance they'd attack you. That's what I was getting at in the first place, except with males.
/r/MensRights17/04/18 04:07 PM

Yes, 100% this. It assumes males don't have boundaries that females do, which has two results: "Men don't have boundaries so they're willing to violate the boundaries of others and rape/hurt them" and "Men don't have boundaries so they don't care if they get raped because they like it"

Right? Further down in the thread, the majority consensus (from /r/all voters, of course) was that "bitching" is a sexist slur and therefore the use of it in this meme deters women from supporting men's rights. Is this really the reason to not support our movement? To not fight for the rights of statutorily raped teenagers, or for the rights of abused men, to not do something to curb the epidemic of men committing suicide? Over the fucking word "bitching"?

Biology surely affects behavior, but your sex only becomes deterministic for behaviors as a result of an extremely gendered society. The role of testosterone and estrogen is sometimes heavily misconstrued to mean we act certain ways biologically and that it is healthy. I'd love to hear about an enzyme that causes men to be less emotional, because surely it's not because our society encourages males from birth to be less expressive with their emotions.

Objective reality is this: I have a penis. I have XY chromosomes, and I am biologically male. What isn't an observable, objective fact, is that I don't feel masculine or feminine either way - this goes beyond emotion. I have traits of both, but when it comes down to me, when it comes down to how I react to being gendered, it goes against what I know to be right for myself - the desire to be viewed neutrally, without influence of my biology. I can't change that because other people believe that m…
