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.

Assuming there's 20M Russians aged 20-44 (4M/slice of 5 years), that's around 2%. Low enough to hide it from most.
I ddg russian population 2023 and got this from world-o-meter: "9th Russia 144,444,359(estimated population) -0.19%(change) -268,955(net)"
Until they have to mobilize the more dense populated area, it's just a number game for them I guess.
Oh, and compare to Ukraine, it's pretty dark.
"41th Ukraine 36,744,634 -7.45 % -2,957,105" in the later column, Migrant listed as 1,784,718 assuming fled the war. so should be part of that -2.9m decline number. I don't know what happened to the other 1.2m.
I'm not sure how reliable those #s are.
They are all estimates from UN or WHO. So not accurate to the digits.
That's what the Soviet leaders back in the day probably thought too.
