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.

When I, a man, am eating by myself I include meat sparingly, but when I eat food prepared by the women in my life, meat is front and centre and hard to avoid. I guess that is the threat to masculinity? The "why won't he eat this perfectly good meal I made for him?"
Hm... I mean you can talk to your GF about that, she will probably understand
What is there to talk about? There is nothing wrong with the meals.
Ask her if she can make some more planty meals because you want to take care of your health, thats usually seen favorable
You want me to lie? I'm not necessarily looking for "planty meals". I gravitate in that direction when I cook because that's the kind of food I can make taste good, but that is not necessarily someone else's skillset. There is nothing wrong with the meat dishes put in front of me. They taste good too.
Ah i thought you wanted to eat less meat, if not then there obviously isn't a problem.
You wouldn't have been lying if you wanted that.
