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.

Articles like this suck. They contribute absolutely nothing to discussion by just saying "well, other people also have problems too", without even attempting to suggest any direction where a solution is.
They contribute context? And if you have women in your life it affects you as well somehow. Tbf there's wasn't really anything new in it for me personally, but mb it helps someone else to be more empathetic.
Context and empathy doesn't fix anything
Ok and what does fix things?
Not putting up with bullshit just because it might hurt someone's feelings, for one.
Wow so edgy
Ahh, yes. The only possible reason I could want to make progress is because it's edgy. How about you go somewhere else if you're only interested in dismissing everything out of hand
A solution which doesn't care about context, empathy and emotions in regard to social problems is not worth much. Also you were the one dismissing anything I was contributing
Empathy fixes republicans at least.
