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.

Back in my day, dudes would get crews and do stupid shit together.
It doesn't seem like young men do that anymore BC they lack the social skills to get along.
I doubt this will get fixed due to how society changed. People gonna be the new normal.
I'm at uni near the end of my degree and most people younger than me don't do anything. They don't party they don't go do shit. They don't go to the open mic they don't join the uni clubs. They dont do team sports. They don't go to the pub. Its honestly really depressing.
I'm generalising of course their are exceptions which is nice to see.
Tech broke old social structures and we can all pearl clutch about it but shit ain't going back.
With that being said, these people gonna need to figure something out for themselves or it will miserable life. They clearly seem to pick up that something is off
And they got Andrew Tate to fill all the knowledge gaps 🤡
