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.”

No. See, feminism just means that women and men should be equal.

Misogyny, hating women… and misandry, hating men… are not the same at all!

No, wait…

Saying that one half of the population’s problems are more important than the the other half of the population’s problems is by definition misandry and or misogyny….

It should be obvious that women have problems and issues that impact them more than others, and that if women are discriminated against it hurts all of us…

It should also be obvious that men have problems and issues that impact them more than others, and that if men are discriminated against it hurts all of us…

Acknowledging that both men and women have issues and problems is something that some of us find difficult to do. I personally think that arguing over who has it worse is counter productive and does more harm than good.

I personally don’t think feminism is the answer to inequity of the sexes. But it has been successful in getting society to acknowledge a lot of the systemic barriers women have faced. I also dont think we really would like the way “equality” would actually look like. “Equity” I believe would feel a lot better.
