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.

There are certainly some nuggets of truth in there but man is Psych Today just a terrible org.
What's wrong with it? (Genuine question)
Acknowledging men’s emotions
Wait… we have emotions?
No.,
well that's a relief
Is relief an emotion?
I'm often emotional after pooping.
oh shit
Is that the org that said large condoms are bullshit and just a thing for insecure dudes?
If so, they can fuck off. If not, I'm sure I can find another reason to hate them.

i am also wondering this, this thread feels like the goddamn twilight zone
There are some pretty weird-ass comments here, that's for sure! I scrolled, but didn't feel like engaging. I didn't think "saying yes to unwanted sex can be harmful" was a hot take, especially in this community, but... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Yeah, Psych today is about as credible these days as The View when it comes to psychology research.
Good to know, I was not aware of that. I appreciate that folks on lemmy seem to kinda always have their finger on the pulse so to speak when it comes to the background of various organizations
