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.

White men are part of a multiracial, multicultural movement redefining manhood and masculinities. An unintended consequence of White Dudes for Harris is that white men can now walk through a portal where our voices articulating an egalitarian vision of manhood can be heard. White Dudes is inadvertently helping us put cracks in our glass ceiling.

To be honest, I don't think manhood always meant the overly macho version we throw around today.

I'd expect figures like Napoleon or Caesar or Augustus would be called effeminate by the likes of Andrew Tate for their compromising diplomacy and actively keeping journals of their thoughts and feelings.

I somehow had no idea that Mitch Landrieu was her campaign co-chair! That's so strange to me, not sure how I feel about that.

I'm also feeling skeptical about the "straight white male progressive" closet, but sure alright, as long as it gets us working proactively to help others.
