That’s… that’s not true.

High rate of male suicide, high adoption of men in far right ideology. Why do you think that is? Because every other male than you is a weak specimen and you’re such a renaissance man?

Also your statement was anecdotal and dismissive, so we’ll scratch the renaissance part.

So you’re saying a high male adoption into far right ideology correlating with high male suicide shows…

Democrats are to blame?

You may want to get your logic chip checked out. No wonder you have these beliefs.

Edit: and you trying to be toxic by insulting my manliness isn’t going to win any support for your cause.

I mean, it’s not untrue either. Here 58% of the students who completed their masters degree last year are women, yet the vast majority of the gender quota based bonus points still go to women. And then there is a group that claims this is still not enough progress - it seems they are more interested in revenge than equality. So I can certainly see how some men get the impression that “the left is not for them”.

I’m sorry… what? It’s the left’s fault that women are getting more masters degrees than men?

Apart from anything else, isn’t that suggesting that men getting more masters degrees than women is some sort of natural state? I’d like evidence for that one.

I didn’t say that. I said 58% of masters graduates here last year were women, yet the gender bonus points that favour women remain. I didn’t even say that I disagreed with that policy. But if we are going have such policies I don’t think we get to stand around and act confused when some men don’t feel welcomed by the left.

Why is it that the right wing incel/MGTOW crowd can’t seem to ever come up with specific examples? It’s always vague nonsense like this.

Yeah no problem with my liberal friends here. I don’t think it’s your gender causing your problems

That’s wild. I’ve never felt that way at all. Are you sure its because you’re male? What prompts your constant vilification?

I’m male and hang around exclusively left wing groups with very opiates feminists and I’ve never felt like I was out of place, hated, vilified or unwanted.

Are you sure you’re not just being an argumentative asshole? Because if you take personal offense to things like male privilege being acknowledged and make comments like these, I can see why people might not wa to be involved with you.

I cannot remember a time that anyone on the left was hostile to me for being male. On the other hand, I’ve been called things like “pussy” and “beta cuck” by people on the right just for my political positions and that seems a hell of a lot more hostile to my masculinity than anyone on the left has ever been to me.

I think you’re just assuming that when people talk about patriarchy, they’re talking about maleness, which shows a total misunderstanding of the issue and the problem.

I mean, this is just turning into a “he said, she said” sort of deal. What are they saying that you feel personally associates with and cannot be separated from being male?

Personally I’ve never grown up feeling like people hated me just for being male, whether it was from the left or the right.

Do you also take offense to white kids learning about Americas history of slavery?
