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.

This article is completely tone deaf.
It is actually this tone deafness that is radicalizing boys. Boys and specially Caucasian boys, are born into a world where they are told that being male is evil, being white is evil. Every other group is entitled to privileges and special programs, and protection, but not boys. For them it is actually the opposite, they have to pay reparations for the crimes of their forefathers, whoever they are
This approach unsurprisingly makes young boys feel attacked and radicalizes them just like any other group would get radicalized if under attack
The return to mysoginy is mainstream and that is because the attack on young boys is mainstream
Think about it
It's so dumb though. As if anything was going to change for white males. It reeks of insecurity
And man can't be insecure?
