Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Why is it that the right wing incel/MGTOW crowd can't seem to ever come up with specific examples? It's always vague nonsense like this.
Maybe you're just an asshole?
Yeah no problem with my liberal friends here. I don't think it's your gender causing your problems
That's wild. I've never felt that way at all. Are you sure its because you're male? What prompts your constant vilification?
I'm male and hang around exclusively left wing groups with very opiates feminists and I've never felt like I was out of place, hated, vilified or unwanted.
Are you sure you're not just being an argumentative asshole? Because if you take personal offense to things like male privilege being acknowledged and make comments like these, I can see why people might not wa to be involved with you.
I cannot remember a time that anyone on the left was hostile to me for being male. On the other hand, I've been called things like "pussy" and "beta cuck" by people on the right just for my political positions and that seems a hell of a lot more hostile to my masculinity than anyone on the left has ever been to me.
I think you're just assuming that when people talk about patriarchy, they're talking about maleness, which shows a total misunderstanding of the issue and the problem.
I mean, this is just turning into a "he said, she said" sort of deal. What are they saying that you feel personally associates with and cannot be separated from being male?
Personally I've never grown up feeling like people hated me just for being male, whether it was from the left or the right.
Do you also take offense to white kids learning about Americas history of slavery?
