Men's Liberation
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.

My solution to the construction labor shortage is to, get this, make construction jobs more appealing to construction workers. Your solution is to, checks notes, blame poor people.
Yup, housing prices would go up to reflect the actual cost of the house. The fact that you can't afford it anymore is a symptom of the fact that wages have been stagnant for decades, while CEOs give themselves bigger and bigger bonuses, at the cost of your quality of life.
Poor people being able to live their fucking life is not the problem, but rich assholes are sure trying to convince you it is.
It's hilarious that you think you actually have a "solution" there when all you just created is inflation. Skill free wages go up, construction wages go up, house prices go up. Just print more money.... what could go wrong with doing that?!
