This community is first and foremost a feminist community for men and masc people, but it is also a place to talk about men’s issues with a particular focus on intersectionality.

Rules

Everybody is welcome, but this is primarily a space for men and masc people

Non-masculine perspectives are incredibly important in making sure that the lived experiences of others are present in discussions on masculinity, but please remember that this is a space to discuss issues pertaining to men and masc individuals. Be kind, open-minded, and take care that you aren't talking over men expressing their own lived experiences.


Be productive

Be proactive in forming a productive discussion. Constructive criticism of our community is fine, but if you mainly criticize feminism or other people's efforts to solve gender issues, your post/comment will be removed.

Keep the following guidelines in mind when posting:

  • Build upon the OP
  • Discuss concepts rather than semantics
  • No low effort comments
  • No personal attacks


Assume good faith

Do not call other submitters' personal experiences into question.


No bigotry

Slurs, hate speech, and negative stereotyping towards marginalized groups will not be tolerated.


No brigading

Do not participate if you have been linked to this discussion from elsewhere. Similarly, links to elsewhere on the threadiverse must promote constructive discussion of men’s issues.

‘There were no warning signs’: what happens when your partner falls into the ‘manosphere’? (www.theguardian.com)

With surveys reporting that an increasing number of young men are subscribing to these beliefs, the number of women finding that their partners share the misogynistic views espoused by the likes of Andrew Tate is also on the rise. Research from anti-fascism organisation Hope Not Hate, which polled about 2,000 people across the UK aged 16 to 24, discovered that 41% of young men support Tate versus just 12% of young women.

“Numbers are growing, with wives worried about their husbands and partners becoming radicalised,” says Nigel Bromage, a reformed neo-Nazi who is now the director of Exit Hate Trust, a charity that helps people who want to leave the far right.

“Wives or partners become really worried about the impact on their family, especially those with young children, as they fear they will be influenced by extremism and racism.”

Did I misread? People who say "shut up manchild. Acknowledge your privilege." Should go to jail?

But Andrew Tate's hate platform "contributes to pushing men away to the Manosphere."

Wut.

I meant it the other way around. Feel free to block me for a mistake as you suggest in your follow up post.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Why would I block you if it was an error? That makes no sense.

I sadly just don’t know anymore, and was ready to block and move on when this guy came back with some reasonable reason that doesn’t makes any sense at all…

I read this, as you didn't know, so you were going to block. I was informing you it was an error, but the quoted text didn't read as you were waiting to find out before blocking.

I guess I don't get how folk just block something they disagree with. I understand blocking bad faith actors. I don't understand not finding out if someone was operating in good faith or not. My intention is generally to assume folk are in good faith unless there is clear information to the contrary.

Ah, no, not until you came back. Innocent until proven guilty and all that.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 days ago

Appreciate the sentiment.

I get the feeling they meant to put it the other way around, as yeah it doesn't really make any sense otherwise.
