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.

Yes i care about the topic, sue me. Ok its cool that feminism has done that for you but thats not relevant and it still sucks as a message when trying to reach men.
Damn that sucks, well as the author says, you should just care more. Have you tried talking to him about the division of household labour? Maybe ask him to volunteer at your socialist action group? How about explaining to him that he needs feminism so he can talk about how he really feels. Yeah that is sure to get him to open up.
I'm gonna armchair pysc for a sec and diagnose that he probably doesnt trust you and doesnt want to share his feelings with you because you won't let it go and will nag him about it for the rest of his days. Its little to do with society restraining him.
stop he's already dead
"Your dad won't communicate openly because nagging" lol good one, top shelf bait
It is if you ignore the first half of the sentence.
The first half of the sentence doesn't make it any less stupid, nothing will
