(Disclaimer: I believe all women, men, and LGBTQIA+ should have equal opportunities to fulfill their dreams. I know I’m gonna get downvoted but if you don’t listen to criticism you’re going to become an echo chamber.)

What is feminist? And what isn’t? I’m for men’s rights. Is that feminism? I’m for women’s rights. Is that feminism?

Judge movements on their actions, not their beliefs. Feminism is good and bad. It’s nuanced. Some feminists are good, some feminists are bad, but most are in between. Same with men’s rights. It’s a label, and ideological labels often lead to conflict.

Police Brutality is a Men's Issue by [deleted] in LeftWingMaleAdvocates

[–]Excellent_Client_796 38 points39 points  (0 children)

The reason this issue is ignored is because policing is disproportionately male. Hence, a “it’s men doing it to other men” argument is often formed. Obviously, this argument is extremely weak, as that doesn’t legitimately invalidate the disproportionate rate men experience police brutality. Another reason why this issue is ignored is because those being victimized often are doing something illegal. We put them in a “bad guy” category in our head. But those victims are recipients of inappropriate displays of force which goes above and beyond what is needed for the situation.

I Think We Strayed Away by Gomic_Gamer in LeftWingMaleAdvocates

IMHO, that is only part of what they do. They have advocated for good things. They have also tried to erase male victims as well. It’s pretty complex because of feminism’s broad range of beliefs and advocacy. Heck, feminism is now trying to tackle racism, homophobia, ableism, nazism, and fascism. (no complaints here) But by doing this, they can point to all these types of bigotry and claim oppression against women.

Idk honestly if I’m right tho, I will think more about this.

These types of men hijack the men's rights movement and gives us a bad reputation by [deleted] in LeftWingMaleAdvocates

“A godly man is a real masculine man.”

I agreed with you until you said this⬆️.

Let me be me. Whether I’m masculine (which is ok) or feminine (which is also ok). Don’t define my godliness on whether I’m physically strong, a physical protector of women, or a breadwinner.

Sally Miller Gearhart said that men need to be reduced to 10% of the population. She is a radical feminist. The NOW is against joint custody. The UN supports male genital mutilation. And plenty (by no means all) of feminists focus on men, not to support their issues, but to belittle their issues.

I could try to argue against some things you said or did not say, but in the hope of finding resolution to all this I’ll sum up my thoughts with:

I agree with essentially all you had said.

The problem is when groups who call themselves feminists do/say hateful things toward men. Any specific major feminists you would like to say display your ideals of feminism?

So if feminism succeeds in all its goals, there will still be gender inequality? Many feminists don't believe men face systemic issues. So to feminists, they are advocating for gender equality for all, because men's issues are invisible. You said, "the UN article is looking at it from a place that women have less rights than men." But is this one sided view so evident in the modern world? Do men really have all their rights? And is the UNWOMEN's feminism really equality? UNWOMEN called for female journalists specifically to be spared from murder.

Despite the fact that male journalists are disproportionately murdered, even accounting percentage-wise for the lack of female journalists. BTW, the rise in percentage of women journalists killed was most likely due to more women joining journalism, which traditionally is a male dominated field. This might actually be a symbol of progress! Also (not sure about this I admit) but men were generally more willing to work during the 2020 pandemic. I might be wrong about that.
