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.

What is this community about? I have read the sidebar, but I have not understand it...
Put simply, this is a community dedicated to criticism of the gendered constraints placed on men.
Put simply, this is a place for criticism of the oppressive gendered expectations placed on men with a focus on intersectionality.
As an outsider: "Feminism for men". It currently exists as a counter to Men's Rights, which was a movement deemed "too problematic" by the Feminists. Whether it is too problematic is something I'll leave up to the reader. I for one think they're just really good at trolling (and sometimes they were assholes).
Then click into the community and look at the other posts instead of making assumptions.
So like the one from 2 months ago?
Welcome to the Fediverse.
Why would you guess when you can look at the other posts?
