1	Are there other men who feel the way I do? I hear you; that’s why my very first sentence was relating to how this social problem is affecting him; not if it was real. The fact of the matter is that a high school freshman need not bear this burden quite yet. If we can encourage him to grow in to a self-assured well-rounded man then he will be in a much better position personally and practically to take on this charge.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	02/08/23 02:05 PM
1	Are there other men who feel the way I do? Within his question I recognized a need.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	02/08/23 01:55 PM
1	Are there other men who feel the way I do? My guy, if the rhetoric is affecting you this deeply you need to do a little self-assessment. (EDIT: I missed your note at the end and I’ve clearly written this advice to a young man in the United States. So my specific examples may not be relevant but I think the overall advice still holds value.) (1) Media diet - where are you getting information about the world? Delete you social apps except for ones you use to message your boys. Delete all your follows and feeds. Limit yourself to 30-60 minu…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	02/08/23 01:29 AM
1	Why are feminists shocked when young boys turn to altright role models? I don’t understand where this line of questioning is headed. I’ll say that (1) a shortage of doctors exists in the United States as a result of a concerted effort on the part of the AMA to limit the number of seats available for new medical students nationally. They have openly stated this is a goal and have been transparent about why. They want to protect physician income to make the protracted education and training worthwhile economically. And follows (2) that the shortage of physicians in th…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	03/04/23 06:45 PM
1	Why are feminists shocked when young boys turn to altright role models? in Canada where I live it’s pretty good Canada is in North America. Yes and amazingly both of those statements jive with my assertion that nurses are doing well in North America.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	03/04/23 06:38 PM
1	Why are feminists shocked when young boys turn to altright role models? Yes, I’ll cede that my perspective is largely North American focused. Here Covid had created a situation where the need for licensed nurses is so greatly outstripping supply combined with truly horrific conditions; that nurses, particularly those willing to travel, are able to earn several hundred thousand dollars a year. And will likely be able to hold that income trajectory for 3-5 more years before their incomes renormalize. However, with their push to broaden their scope of practice and with…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	03/04/23 12:41 AM
1	Why are feminists shocked when young boys turn to altright role models? Shortage (generalized) =/= shortage of male participants	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	03/04/23 12:36 AM
1	Why are feminists shocked when young boys turn to altright role models? Physician shortages are artificial and created by the AMA to protect physician’s incomes. Even a concerted focus on growing collegiate participation would not move this number. And largely, it isn’t lawyers and engineers that have spurred the growth of college students over the last 50 years; male or female. Those are relatively highly rewarded or elite or challenging career options that are not going to face any shortage of applicants, nor are they particularly prone to diluting male applicants…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	02/04/23 06:19 PM
32	The left is committing suicide: the increasing alienation of men is going to destroy our movement This is a huge problem on the left generally. No “big tent” mentality. You have to subscribe to the exact version of left politics as the super-players or you are trash. Even down to what you are allowed to find funny and what media you may consume. And demanding academic or epistemological integrity will run you afoul of the crowd. Mostly, left bots are just as zealous and just as lemming-minded as the right. It’s very frustrating. I think we could make real and good progress on many left ideas…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	27/03/23 10:12 PM
9	Why are feminists shocked when young boys turn to altright role models? Certainly, and I don’t suggest they are. I’m only pointing out that “economic ticking time bomb” is probably a bit of hyperbole.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	17/03/23 06:07 PM
9	Why are feminists shocked when young boys turn to altright role models? A bachelor’s degree [generic] may account for that difference, however in the real world bachelor’s degree don’t come in a [generic] variety. You have to major in something. And as I said in my post that is where you find many programs economically lacking. Additionally, a large number of students will not complete a degree and those students are largely not considered in data like what you have presented. If you look at any amount of undergraduate education, versus only degree attainment then t…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	17/03/23 05:59 PM
28	Why are feminists shocked when young boys turn to altright role models? FWIW, higher education isn’t exactly the economic escalator it used to be. Not only are many degrees not economically relevant, trade work wages have kept up with inflation better than most white collar wages in the last 20 years.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	17/03/23 02:30 PM
28	A Contradiction in Rhetoric Regarding Men's Suicide I've also seen feminists say men die more because they use more violent methods This doesn’t hold water though, because suicide rate for men is higher with every tracked methodology. Ie, men poison themselves with pills more than women, and they shoot themselves more than women.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	15/03/23 11:05 PM
4	trans exclusion is male exclusion Awesome, thank you for your perspective.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	03/03/23 06:58 PM
5	trans exclusion is male exclusion I don’t need to. I’m perfectly willing to take you at your word that it says exactly what you said it does. I fully believe that there is a higher conviction rate for trans-folk. Reading the paper will not likely alter my perspective on that, as I appear to agree with your assessment of what it states. 100% of my disagreement is with your extrapolation from that to say higher convictions = higher incidence of crime. That conclusion I reject wholeheartedly.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	03/03/23 03:16 PM
4	trans exclusion is male exclusion As mentioned before, that is evidence of a disparity in the criminal justice system, not evidence of elevated illegal behavior.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	03/03/23 03:08 PM
2	trans exclusion is male exclusion Evidence required.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	03/03/23 02:55 PM
11	trans exclusion is male exclusion More likely to be convicted =/= more likely to commit. This is an indictment of the criminal Justice system more than an indictment of trans-folk.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	03/03/23 01:47 PM
7	trans exclusion is male exclusion Interestingly, I find professional male basketball extremely dull. It has become dominated by setting up the dunk. The strategy, teamwork, basic skills, and game depth are all washed out by dominating players and the dunk. Male college basketball and female professional basketball are both far more entertaining for me to watch. You get to see the play strategy. You get to see where excellent fundamentals make a true difference, and you can see where a situational awareness from the players leads…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	03/03/23 01:36 PM
3	trans exclusion is male exclusion I could be way overstepping here; but I’ve always been under the impression that the T in TERF was referencing Trans-women because in the eyes of TERFs they are “really just men.” Is there some history around TERFs being anti trans-men that is unique to being trans (ie, it’s not just because they hate all men, but they specifically also hate trans-men for this unique reason? I think you are suggesting scorned love opportunities?)	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	03/03/23 01:26 PM

0	Why should women have shorter sentences? I understood the comparison, but I don’t see how a perception of pragmatism would lead to longer sentences? I understand the connection between empathy and a shorter sentence under the assumption of rehabilitation. But I don’t follow how bring pragmatic should/would/could indicate a longer sentence is appropriate. What was your thought process for that?	/r/MensRights	01/09/22 10:59 PM
1	Why should women have shorter sentences? (1) I don’t have an opinion on it; (2) I don’t think it materially contributed to the conclusion you drew about why women may have shorter sentences.	/r/MensRights	01/09/22 10:18 PM
13	Why should women have shorter sentences? Assumed multiple facts not in evidence. (1) women are more empathetic. There is literally a post on this page earlier today about an article discussing this likely being untrue. (2) that the criminal Justice system is in anyway interested in rehabilitation rather than revenge/punishment. It’s not. Full stop.	/r/MensRights	01/09/22 09:21 PM
-3	So asking for a paternity test is wrong Actually, government spending literally comes out of no where. That’s how monetary policy works. The government spends all money into existence.

Most (all?) of the traditional male spaces I’ve listed here no longer exist. Many of the female spaces are also gone, though some do remain.

8	The Gendered Suicide Paradox is Meaningless The paradox is also BS because men kill themselves at a higher rate with ANY GIVEN METHOD. People will say dumb shit like men are more successful because they use guns to commit suicide and women take pills. And that sounds good on the surface until you see that men kill themselves more frequently with pills than women do. It is the same for every method. The harsh truth is men are more likely to seriously try to end their own life, and women are more likely to use a suicide as a call for help.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	16/08/22 12:21 AM

Being told that another baby is on the way is definitely a relationship milestone. There is a real anticipation, you immediately feel love for that future child in your heart. To you that child is a true and realized thing, it’s not a theoretical future object.

1	Confession time I don’t get anything from the post that would indicate he tried to exercise any perceived legal entitlement to stop her from getting the abortion. He didn’t say that they went to court, or he tried to have her committed or arrested. He accepts her legal authority here. It seems that his aggrieved right here was his right to participate in the family’s growth planning. If she knew she didn’t want any more children they should have had that conversation before she was pregnant. He could have gotte…	/r/MensRights	15/08/22 06:39 PM
1	Confession time I’m not getting that from OP. He says “how dare her to decide I don’t have any rights or say in the matter [paraphrase],” he isn’t saying that he thought he deserved or had a legal right to stop her. He is talking about the decision in the relationship. That is a choice that healthy couples and committed partners will make as an family.

She could play in exhibitions, she could endorse equipment, she could run clinics/camps, she could coach, she could work as a commentator for broadcast. Pro-athletes past their primes continue to work in their fields all the time. The fact that she had a 20+ year career actually playing makes her one of the luckiest and most successful pro-athletes of all time. Easily a top 1…	/r/MensRights	15/08/22 03:32 PM
25	Serena Williams is upset she doesn't get paid to be a mom. I think the real takeaway is to stop pretending like men magically CAN have both. It isn’t possible to be a primary breadwinner and a primary homemaker for any human. Somewhere along the line you are either making sacrifices or outsourcing. NO ONE gets both. 🤷🏻‍♂️	/r/MensRights	15/08/22 03:24 PM
1	Serena Williams is upset she doesn't get paid to be a mom. I think the biggest difference WRT pay vs sets is the television ad revenue generated by a 5 set match vs a 3 set match. Presumably you would get ~60%+ more ad revenue from 5 sets than 3. And that is if viewership is also equal between men’s and women’s matches. (Which, I believe, for tennis they are roughly the same. Though very few other sports are that way.)	/r/MensRights	15/08/22 03:18 PM
3	Serena Williams is upset she doesn't get paid to be a mom. I don’t understand this; or maybe it just doesn’t follow? But to me the complaint she has sounds a lot more like, “I’m upset my day only has 24 hours in it. I could really get more out of life if I could have 40 hours in every day.” The issue she describes isn’t about money. She is saying that she needs to focus on childcare instead of having a job. And that men “don’t have to make that choice because they have wives to work at home.” But like, when was the last time people were able to live on …	/r/MensRights	15/08/22 03:07 PM
2	Confession time Acknowledging her right to bodily autonomy is correct; however, it does not automatically follow that her partner must be happy or supportive of that choice. It is completely justified for him to judge and/or condemn her for that choice. Regardless of his acknowledgment that she has the right to do it.	/r/MensRights	15/08/22 07:07 AM
3	Confession time I somewhat disagree in a nuanced way. I 100% agree from a legal stand point that the mother should have the ultimate, final, and sole authority over their body to make whatever decisions she feels are best. If she chooses abortion, then abortion should happen. No physical or legal barrier should stop her from going forward. But, that doesn’t mean her partner or her family or her friends have to be happy about it. The father is also entitled to autonomy of feelings and if he wants the baby he has…	/r/MensRights	15/08/22 06:59 AM

(2) The behavior you have described is not the limit to what gets rolled into “mansplaining.” The term is so pervasive and dilute, that you see actual experts (ie, college professors, etc) get accused of mansplaining to actual lay people (ie, students in their class.)

1	Where are the women who "lack access to birth control" that lots of feminists keep complaining about? I agree that no patient should be refused a tubal just because they have no children. I’m personally on the fence about providers who want to do an extra mental health wellness assessment for patients requesting tubals or vasectomies that are both childless and younger than 30. I think a lot comes down to clinical judgement of the individual patient case. Some people think they are reversible procedures.

Nexplanon and most IUDs are covered by all insurance plans with no copay (by law, Affordable Care Act.) There are going to be some questions because these are prescription devices. Appropriateness of therapy has to be confirmed. IE, if someone wants temporary birth control for 3-5 months then Nexplanon and IUDs probably aren’t a good choice. The patient needs to be educated about that to make a proper decision, and in order to determine what education is needed the provider ne…	/r/MensRights	24/07/22 03:12 AM
3	Where are the women who "lack access to birth control" that lots of feminists keep complaining about? Yeah, I’m not saying a woman shouldn’t get an IUD or Nexplanon if they want it. They absolutely should. I’m saying I understand why they may not want it; and I am affirming that is a rational choice if they make it. Efficacy concerns are smoke and mirrors. The only real choice is convenience vs risk of adverse event. For dudes the choice is much more clear. If you don’t want a kid, you should wrap it up. Birth control should always be seen 100% as a personal responsibility first and foremost.	/r/MensRights	24/07/22 02:52 AM
7	Where are the women who "lack access to birth control" that lots of feminists keep complaining about? Condoms only break frequently if used incorrectly. Wrong size or double bagging are the most common reasons for breakage. Both Nexplanon and IUDs have 99% success rates; however both also carry much higher risks of complications for women who use them. And the efficacy is virtually identical to using a combination of barrier methods and oral contraceptives together.	/r/MensRights	24/07/22 02:46 AM
11	Where are the women who "lack access to birth control" that lots of feminists keep complaining about? Oral contraceptives have a 99% success rate when used as directed, and about a 95% effective rate in the real world. Condoms have a 97% success rate when used correctly, which winds up being about a 94% effective rate in the real world. Ie, in real-world efficacy, condoms and oral contraceptives as virtually identical.	/r/MensRights	24/07/22 01:17 AM

16	are older single men happy? like 50+ Men have hobbies, they just aren’t the types that are suitable for pursuing while in a nursing home. If you like to crochet, or needle point, or play canasta then nursing homes are great. If you like to hunt, fish, drink, build cabinets not so much. Also, “single at 50+” is not the same as “widowed at 50+”.

5	normalising single men and encouraging men not to have children I only said 19th century because the phrase appears in My Fair Lady, which I assumed was set in the Guilded Age, but as it turns out it was set in 1912. 🤷🏻‍♂️ I also thought that it was originally a term to say “gay” without saying it precisely because it wasn’t socially acceptable at the time.

5	What do you think about the term and application of "intersectionality"? I think that intersectionality was invented as a way for white women to participate /as/ an oppressed segment rather than by being allies with oppressed segments. Being able to say “I’m LGBTQ” or “I’m neurodiverse” in a conversation about race allows them cover to offer opinions about shit they have no business in. However, at the end of the day, I think that men’s groups would do well to embrace intersectionality as an alternative or competing concept of privilege.
