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.

Well I'm not going to try and dumb it down for you step by step.
That's up to you. If you don't care about people actually understanding what you say, I can't help. Than again why participate in a conversation in the first place?
I simply didn't think I'd have to dumb it down for you.
Politics is interconnected and complicated. You're just after a simple argument which doesn't reflect reality.
If you don't see why what I'm saying is relevant to the conversation that's on you.
One sentence answers asking for help aren't holding up your side of the conversation to make it interesting to engage in.
Fascinating, so you not only have troubles to convey your opinion but also are incapable of understanding others.
It's always the others. How convenient. Does this also happens to you in relationships?
Sorry for not being entertaining enough.
So are you like just a debate bro? Or why do you talk with people if you don't care if they get you or not?
Apology accepted. If you want to try again and actually engage with the points raised, feel free.
But you've just confirmed I was right about you. You just want a simple argument you can understand and feel righteous about.
You got me.
