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.

Feminism is also a sociological theory to analyses aspects of society. If you feel excluded from feminist movement - due to your experiences, sure. But I don't feel excluded at all and I don't understand what is the point of trying to convince me and others that they are.
So why are you so divisive yourself?
Except Feminism does not try to explain everything. It's a lens to view specific aspects of society. Not the only one around. You can use some class theory, or something eternally different or - use different lenses to understand different aspects of society. Nobody is forcing you to just use feminism. Just this place happens to be one that uses that specific lens.
Nope.
Nope. It's a lens used here to view mens issues. You just again make things up and expect people to argue with you.
Go, make your own community than, since you seem to somehow believe that folks here think that men should not have equal rights as women. It's funny that you are complaining about feminist talking over communities and than it's just what you want to do here.
