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.

It really is such a perfect juxtaposition of toxic vs. healthy masculinity.

A month ago, i didn't even know the name Tim Walz. Now, I'm absolutely enamored. How the hell did the Dems have someone like this on a shelf? Are they hiding more?

What im confused about, as a non American, is how Tim seems to have overshadowed Harris. I heard about Tim way more than Harris. Is it sexist? Is it just that his more charismatic? I've never seen so much press about a vice president candidate before.

Traditionally the VP is the person that goes on the attack so the Presidential candidate can be above that... and be presidential.

Trump flipped it since he has nothing except for making childish attacks. But that's not actually the norm.

Social media has a tendency to elevate people going on the attack, so Walz doing the normal VP stuff is being elevated more than Harris is staying above it for the most part.

Was Harris on the attack during Biden's first campaign?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

Sure. But Trump was kinda sucking all the air out of the room, so no one saw it.

Based on their DNC speeches, Waltz is a much better public speaker than Harris.

There's nothing masculine about MAGA. MAGA is consumed by people who think being crass is strength. These people know nothing about strength. They have never needed it because they have never faced adversity themselves. The ultimate failure of privilege.

All these people have left is larping some fictional version of masculinity and strength.

He makes me want to get a rifle and start practicing shooting, and also advocate for common sense gun reforms. Well, I'm already advocating for that, but it'll have more impact if I own a rifle.
