Men's Liberation
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.

Overall, I've just been vibing, though I ended up blowing the vacation day I took on Friday basically just having an identity crisis and playing games. Guess I'll just check out the restaurant I had wanted to hit up next week. Glad I was able to get everything resolved before going back to work, but damn a wasted Friday always sucks.
That doesn't really sound wasted. Sometimes the most beneficial use of time is also the least productive.
You're not really wrong, I just would have rather done anything more enjoyable. Without getting into personal details, it was just the accidental resurgence of some bad blood with someone I was friends with years ago, solely just because we accidentally ended up in a matchmade game together.
