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.

Females aren't in any better of a situation. Mental health support funding is non existent and fucking me over right now :(
Please don't. You are a worthwhile human being. You may be able to find resources through a national or international organization, if they are not available locally.
You indeed aren't asking a lot but the basics that any human is entitled to.
I'm really sorry to hear about what you're going through. I've removed your comment and the rest of this chain to avoid derailing and because we are not really equipped for those sorts of conversations. Mental health resources on the fediverse are still in the early stages but there is !mentalhealth@lemmy.world that you may consider reaching out to.
