Left Wing Male Advocacy (and the Gender Empathy Gap) Discussion/Resources

[Doctor Anaximander]

That MensLib subreddit is really good. I subscribed to it some time ago but I haven't looked at until now. It's yet another thing that was desperately needed but didn't exist for a long time finally becoming a reality. The fact that this is happening in so many areas is why I remain optimistic.

Take this:How come its common for young men to be so disproportionately frustrated and angry in general? : MensLib

Younger guys especially need resources that aren't part of the PUA-to-blackpill pipeline.

It's a little hit or miss for me. Sometimes there's good threads, but some of it makes me cringe. I prefer the left wing male advocates subreddit. They tend to have good dialogues and constructive criticisms and suggestions. I rarely look at the MRA subreddit.

What's that one called? I don't know that one.

the whole Depp-Heard situation is something I'm reluctant to address. There was a lot of toxicity in that relationship, so I think it's unfair to place total blame on Heard. Depp is far from a perfect human being, though the way he was essentially blacklisted and turned into persona non grata so quickly...it says a lot about the conclusions people tend to jump to and the default assumptions people tend to have in cases where it turns out domestic violence is reciprocal

I’m cringing that I made this thread. Sorry, folks. I would delete it if I could. Feeling guilty.

Is it really wrong though? Like...you opened resources and tried to bridge an actually open gap of compassion toward a group of people. This doesn't discredit arguments against men who really promote toxic masculinity and horrible assaults. This is asking for mercy to not just be lumped into this, and to have a fair trial.

I've felt there needs to be a male advocacy movement in Hollywood to balance the one for women. One complex aspect of gender relationships is that the manner in which women abuse doesn't always get measured in statistics because it tends to be more psychological and emotional abuse, but that can be just as serious. We've seen how verbal abuse is used to coerce people to suicide even online. It is a well established form of violence, but is unlikely to be measured as accurately as physical abuse.

Greater awareness of mental health issues might eventually allow us to more accurately quantify the extent and effects of emotional abuse in all types of relationships. Excellent post.
