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.

"STEVEN CROWDER, THE right-wing podcaster, is getting a divorce. “No, this was not my choice,” Crowder told his online audience last week. “My then-wife decided that she didn’t want to be married anymore — and in the state of Texas, that is completely permitted.” "

So she should be stuck with this asshole for the rest of her life? And what kind of bullshit marriage would that look like.

These clowns have no business dictating how people should live their lives.

Their unironic answer is yes. These people are religious fanatics and/or raging control freaks who want the privilege of deciding how everyone else lives.

It's funny (well "funny"), the right wing podcasts my brother listens to was recently going off about how you need to train women and they can't even think without a Real Man™. And these fuckers are sitting screeching calling LGTBQ folks they're groomers at the same time. It's been sucking off Trump a lot lately but the misogyny makes regular appearances. These aren't obscure channels either.

What do you expect? They don't view women as anything more than brood mares

Omg. I'm not surprised, but it's still disgusting to see. Now this dumb fucking clown is on some mission to use state laws to force women into servitude.

I though conservatism was about keeping the government out of our lives, not expanding its reach...

Modern conservatism is about using the power of the state to enforce a rigid social and economic hierarchy.

Conservatism has always been about that

That's one of the many lies they tell to try and appear like reasonable people.

Of course it's Crowder at the forefront of this - the narcissistic manchild who was caught on-camera being such a vile piece of shit to his eight-month-pregnant then-wife that even his biggest simps couldn't pretend that it was defensible.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

I'm baffled by America sometimes. The man is CLEARLY in the wrong, like he is being such a piece of shit on camera, but republicans are like: yeah poor guy, his wife left him, we should prevent that!!

People like Stephen Crowder are angry that the laws aren't on their side of being completely abusive assholes and getting away with it. They want things to go back to the way they were in the early 20th century when you could trick a woman into marrying you, then immediately treat them like shit without having to worry about them being able to leave. It's sick.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago

This is no more than a sad, small man whining about how he wants more control over a woman. It’s truly pathetic.

The first governor to sign no-fault divorce into law was Ronald Reagan.

And conservative keep applauding these wackos.

[–] saltesc 8 points 1 year ago

On top of the issue of wanting to ensnare a person into living under you, why would he want to be with someone that openly doesn't want to be with him?

He would need Sharia Law in completely to have any benefit, not just bits and pieces.
