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.

Sounds like what you want is a non toxic non judging space. It doesn't have to be mens only.
I know what I want.
I have mixed group settings, I've even had me and a load of girls settings, I'm comfortable in them both and enjoy them immensely.
I think men and boys need male only spaces and it's fucked up that it is so frowned upon.
You've expressed what you want, but your reasons don't don't reflect positivity. They reflect the notion that women are somehow fundamentally other to you tlin a way men aren't, and you provide no reason to believe that to be true.
You know what you want. It's not at all clear that you understand what you need.
Many women don't feel empathy towards men. They were never expected to.
beginning to wonder if he's afraid of women or.... afraid of women.
