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.

Read the article. Republicans are against no fault divorce, so they want the man to have to approve in order for his wife to divorce him. It's a way to enslave women.
I mean then why did she marry him? Maybe people should date longer instead of rushing into marriage.
No human institution, agreement, or connection will ever be free of both bad actors and blameless mistakes, so there must be a way to end such things in order to preserve life, dignity, and happiness.
Our institutions are created to serve us as people, not to bind us for the sake of being binding.
Or just don't get married to people with red flags. They are usually very obvious and willfully ignored. We need to stop allowing people to hand wave consequences.
True wisdom from the biggest red flag in this thread.
You can't possibly be serious.
He is, unfortunately
You're flatout uneducated. Read some history on what led to modern divorce laws to begin with
Like this really doesn't need a discussion. There have been decades of discussion. This is about people not learning a damn thing about that discussion.
There are many people that are extremely adept at pretending to be one person to get someone to fall in love and marry them, and as soon as they are married, they become the real them. Manipulative, controlling, usually abusive, and you would never know until it was too late.
What the fuck? It's clear you're an incel, but my gosh you don't get to imprison other people because they finally realize you're a piece of trash.
Yeah for your God's sake and ours keep staying a virgin brother thanx for listening
I have 8 kids.
Of course
