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.

Boston: The people? Rough. The weather? Also tough. Rent? High.
But the food? ...Also bad.
J/k man, hopefully people can eventually understand that you recycling/maintaining a high mpg car is way more effective than buying something new under the guise of efficiency.
i love the weather and the rent is affordable to me. the people used to be awesome before all the tech yuppies moved in with their endless agonizing about how hard their lives are.
Same out here in California, sadly.
"You know that black glass rectangle in your pocket? How about a new one, with 4 cameras instead of 3? Only $8500!!! "
" Man I can't believe I only got a $20k raise this year, how am I supposed to afford my Tesla cyberdump?? "
... Etc
yep. here it's mostly agonizing about their 20K vacations not being fancy enough.
i don't think i've ever spent more than 2K on a vacation.
