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.

The only thing I wish men's attire had that women's has is thumb holes on hoodies. This article has to be bulkshit otherwise because, yeah, pockets are cool.
I had a men’s hoodie from Bench that had those thumb holes. Loved it.
They’re out there.
Super rare for men's but almost standard issue for women's. I was given a school hoody when I started my Masters program that had a thumb holes. I said, "wait a minute", checked the tag and it was a women's. Super bummed I spent $45k and no thumb holes when swapped for the men's.
If you don't mind being a billboard, the Noctua hoodie is amazing and has thumb holes.
