| 36 | Does this sub believe that "traditional" masculinity and/or gender roles should be promoted/encouraged?Hell no. Stop telling people how to do their gender is the name of the game. However, that cuts both ways: if people want to be all trucks-and-meat, that's absolutely fine, there's nothing toxic or bad about any choice, so long as people aren't pressured into it. And that's where conflict comes in - there's an understandable backlash to the trucks-and-meat stuff, as it has a long history of association with being mandatory and the standard by which people should be judged. And so it's often held… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 20/03/23 12:03 AM |

| 2 | Help this feminist understand.1: Where it went wrong is where every movement goes wrong: tribalism. Any kind of in-group vs out-group boundary will eventually get exploited for clicks / attention / grants / mindshare. It's a basic failure mode of the human (and primate, hell probably even mammalian) psyche. If you draw a distinction based on demographics, it doesn't matter how carefully you phrase it and what you originally mean - a version that subverts the original intent and hooks into them-bad-us-good will inevitably out… | /r/MensRights | 06/10/22 06:13 AM |
| 15 | To start a discussion about where bodily autonomy should start, what do you think about piercing infants' ears? I personally think it's wrong...Yep, it may be lower-impact, but it's still unacceptable. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 23/06/22 03:38 PM |
| -1 | Why do people get so upset by the word "female"?Female as an adjective is fine. A female patient, a female customer, a female politician - nobody's going to bat an eyelid. The problem is when you use it as a noun, when you call someone "a female". It comes across like calling someone "a gay", "a black" or "a chinese". It also sounds like you're talking about an animal. There's a perfectly good word - 'woman' - for 'female person', so avoiding sounds... pointed. Weird incels and their 'femoids' are loading the dice on this one, putting everyon… | /r/MensRights | 10/04/22 04:23 PM |

| 3 | Asking as a feminist: What is the ideal societal outcome with r/MensRights?First up, this sub tends to swing fairly hard-right; for a counterbalance you might like to look at /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates. As for actual outcomes, you've probably heard it as well as I can say it: treating men as human beings worthy of empathy and compassion, with bodily and reproductive autonomy, freedom from prescriptive gender roles and generally not being thought of as dangerous animals in need of behavioural modification. Exactly how you define those things and how you go about reaching … | /r/MensRights | 02/04/22 10:18 AM |
| 66 | ok so im here from menslib and i have some questions for you guys- are you MRAs?A lot of mens-advocacy spaces have been pushed hard-right by a bunch of factors, and they can be really unpleasant. A lot of conservative types oppose feminism because of all the reasons people imagine they would. A lot of progressive people can't conceive of any criticism of feminism coming from any other motivation, so loudly denounce anyone who speaks up on MRM issues. This has a chilling effect on progressive people who do care about MRM issues, but who don't want to get denounced, so they k… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 20/09/21 04:43 PM |
| -7 | New dads banned from spending time with their newborns in Western Sydney hospitalsYes, but they can't control his movements - and they've got more to worry about right now than special cases and special arrangements. If you're not a patient, leave. Simple, easy to administer, easy to deal with. Sucks horribly, of course. We all have loved ones we would like to be with - and some have had to miss that chance forever. Blame the goddamn virus. It's nothing to do with sex or gender; same-sex parents would be kept out just as hard. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 15/07/21 04:01 PM |
| 0 | New dads banned from spending time with their newborns in Western Sydney hospitalsLook, I'm massive on the rights and status of fathers, but you're drawing a pretty long bow on this one. The mother's in hospital because she's just given birth. The baby's in hospital because it's just been born. The father has no medical need to be in hospital. And in the middle of a rampant delta-strain outbreak, that's the only criteria that matters. If you don't need to be hospitalized - in Blacktown right now ffs - then you don't go in the fucking hospital. Yes, skin-to-skin is nice to hav… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 15/07/21 03:31 PM |
| 2 | What does being 'left-wing' mean for you as a male advocate?To me it means a basically socialist-progressive ethos. A lot of MRA spaces have been driven towards a traditionalist audience that's basically a cross between a bunch of Texas bumper stickers and a Trump rally. Most progressive spaces tend to be heavily anti-MRA, and people in them are chilled out of expressing pro-male sentiments or being seen to visit MRA spaces. This filtering effect tends to happen from both ends - as the remaining population in MRA spaces becomes increasingly traditionalis… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 03/06/21 03:58 AM |

| 3 | Can we discuss adding mandatory paternity testing to standard birth workups?I don't consent to genetic testing. Absolutely make paternity testing available if you want to claim child support, and the person named as father cares to dispute the claim. But you don't increase my rights by forcing me to get tested if I don't want to. | /r/MensRights | 12/09/20 09:38 AM |

Prescriptive gender roles, shaming those who do not conform. We like to f*ck and we like to be dominant. Prescriptive gender roles again It only becomes unnatural when feminists/lesbians become jealous and want to do likewise. Homophobia, naturalistic fallacy.

Women have historically suffered a great deal of oppression and discrimination, and this still continues to an extent in various areas.

Wikipedia puts it succinctly: Patriarchy is a social system in which the male acts as the primary authority figure central to social organization, and where fathers hold authority over women, children, and property. It implies the institutions of male rule and privilege, and entails female subordination. If people are going to invent new concepts, they sho… | /r/MensRights | 03/08/12 07:17 AM |

| 16 | I had this impression that Men's Rights and Feminism are working towards the same ideal- am I missing something?There is a certain mindset common in many capital-F Feminist circles, wherein roles of oppressed and oppressor are almost axiomatic; to be on the side of equality and justice is to advocate for change favouring women, even where women are actually in an advantageous position already. I don't think this is malicious; not so long ago it was a highly effective rule of thumb, accurate in the great majority of cases.

"If a father is removed from a woman’s decision over a pregnancy, he is also removed from parental obligation."I absolutely agree that fathers should be able to opt-out of parenthood under certain conditions. However, I absolutely disagree that they should have any decisions over the pregnancy. Nobody has authority over another person's body, and until the kid is born, that's what it is: part of the mother's body, and none of anyone else's business.

| 12 | Circumcision - To cut or not to cut...No, you did not circumcise yourself. Here's the deal. At birth, the foreskin is fused to the glans, like a nail to the nailbed. Over time - and usually by about 4 years old - the skin un-fuses. However, it can take substantially longer in some boys, for no particular reason. Very likely this was the case with you. Now, another thing that can vary is the length of the foreskin. In some people, it can 'turtleneck' closed over the glans, in others it sits about half-mast, or even less. What I suspe… | /r/MensRights | 29/09/10 07:48 AM |
