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.

"Creating a Safe Space"
Luckily, we're on a website and not in Gaza whilst The IDF carpet bombs the piss out of that poor corner of the globe yet again, or in the MS-13 controlled slums of El Salvador, where physical safety really is more non-existent than clothes on the body of Sydney Sweeney. Words we're reading off a screen ain't sticks nor stones, thus it's physically impossible for them to shatter our bones into a gazillion fragments
We couldn't be safer
I dont like your assumption of the safety of everyone here. While I agree that most participants are probably not in a super dangerous situation right now, some probably are because you can literally participate here from everywhere in the world if you have an internet connection.
For me "safe(r) space" reads as a call for mindful and careful discussions and I dont understand why you call that out in this aggressive and insensitive way.
Edit:
Just noticed this part of your comment. Like why bring up the way a woman dresses? Its none of your business and reads like you think being upset about her choices. Please stop commenting such things.
"I dont like your assumption of the safety of everyone here"
And I'm not a fan of the redefinition "safety" has undergone, via the miracle of Concept Creep https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2016/04/concept-creep/477939/ Clearly, the definitions of "aggressive" and "insensitive" have also taken on increasingly elastic definitions
Yes its everyone else and not you. I get it.
