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.

If it’s an important topic, this is a relevant video.
Relevant video that you never get to watch isn't very useful. I'd like to see some text content as well.
I actually listened to it as a podcast: https://overcast.fm/+B6dehbs4I. I didn’t produce this video so cannot provide a transcript.
I’m being downvoted for trying to be helpful? I don’t understand this community’s ratioing.
Did I do something wrong by posting this video?
I don't get it either. Thanks for posting.
People here are seriously not a fan of videos 🤷♀️ . Don't take it personally it pretty much always goes like this.
As mod however I very much appreciate your posting.
Thanks a lot for explaining. I was excited to post this here so I’m glad it was the form and not the content that was the issue.
This is a very thoughtful discussion of “incels” and the unique challenges men face today.
It addresses male loneliness and the colossal changes in society—in terms of economics and sexuality—that have greatly affected men over the last few generations.
It also highlights many of the ways in which incel identity is misunderstood, presenting the phenomenon in a wider context—allowing space for greater understanding and empathy.
