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.

Not everyone has a living father/parent so I thought I'd extend it further.

A friend likes these seasonal peppermint snacks so I'm getting some this weekend

I'm making food for everyone. I already always make food for people, but now I'm making more.

I ordered several flavors of tea for my cousin.

Thought about this for someone, but there’s no good caffeine free samplers, which makes it difficult when you’re buying for a guy with heart issues

I looked for a sampler, but my cousin dislikes most black teas and all the samplers I saw had some. So, I ended up buying 20-teabag boxes of different flavors.

Offered purely as an example, these fruit and herbal teas are naturally caffeine-free because they contain no actual tea plants: https://www.britishbrands.com/fruit-and-herbal-teas-s/2128.htm

Budget is always a factor, but here's mine so far....

Looking at a discovery flight for someone who's expressed some interest in flying, a limited art print from someone's favorite artist, potentially an inflatable stand up paddle board, and a 360 degree camera for others. Still a lot of searching to do but hopefully these can spark some ideas for others too
