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.

It sounds like the argument is that men are more likely to succeed if they don't have to worry about managing the day-to-day activities aka a housewife.

While it may be helpful for his career, it generally comes at an overall decrease in happiness for the homemaker.

Society is harder than ever, with restaurants being more expensive, childcare difficult to sort out and far more expensive than food, and so forth. A trade wife makes all those obstacles go away.

The actual answer is society needs to step up its game and support couples better, because failing social safety nets has an inverse correlation to rising misogyny.

Couples already get a lot of support. Help single people.

Yeah, I don't believe either myself or the article are trying to assert that singles should be left hanging. The point is that failing social safety nets mechanically lead misogynistic outcomes.

Three times, that's how many times I read the title before I realized that it was sexIST not sexiEst.

Suddenly made more sense.

Very US centric reporting here.
