On the off-chance you're real, here's a healthier place to talk about men's issues:

DA but reddit=healthy made me chuckle.

Eh there's a lot of shit there for sure, but there are some really good subs, too.

That is like saying, "internet=healthy makes me chuckle" because the only things you hear about the internet are child porn and creepshots.

Mens Lib? Really? Jesus Christ I think I'm going to throw up.

Re: I'm not an MRA.

Have you actually read any discussion there, or did you just see "men's lib" and freak out?

Re: I'm not an MRA.

Yeah..I don't get it. From the overview it looks like a great subreddit.

Here are a few top-rated comments from there:

"Nobody is saying all men have all the power. But if you look at positions of power in our society, a disproportionate number of those are held by men. For example, of the 538 members of Congress, only 104 are women. In fact there have only ever been 313 Congresswomen. 26 CEOs of Fortune 500 companies are women. 26% of college/university presidents in the US are women.
Patriarchy means men hold more positions of power than women, which is true."

"The idea that this gives women power over men, much less "the ultimate position of power," seems to presume that sex with women is something men are entitled to.
Regardless, a man cannot be forced to be a parent in the sense that he need not spend his time caring for the child. He may be forced to pay for part of the child's care (although those payments aren't necessarily easy to collect) but he can't be made to do more than that.
Of course there may be cultural reasons a man would feel obligated to actually care for the child. I'm not convinced that this exists to the scale or seriousness that it is particularly oppressive to men, much less overshadows any societal advantages that men have over women.
But the whole idea is kind of sick because it treats the child as a weapon, not as a person. Along with divorce, people who are worried about this sort of thing seem to think that women will be happy to dedicate years of their lives to something like marriage or childcare just to piss off men. Women and children are reduced to antagonistic things that exist only to harm men."

"Violence should never be used to achieve masculinity, regardless of context. Self defense violence is rightfully socially acceptable, but it should always be situationally regettable. Being heroic should not be masculine."

You're right, this is a bad place!

I've tried to build more than one similar space, where one can talk about mens' issues from a feminist standpoint.

Invariably we get responses from (some! not all!) feminists similar to the ones in this thread: based on the idea that any discussion of men's issues or acknowledgment of men's feelings is always intrinsically wrong and should be derided.

It's hard to keep spaces like that alive, between trying to keep the MRAs from storming in and filling the place with their hate, and getting zero or negative support from other feminist spaces. Yes, I know, wah wah poor baby... I've heard it all before.
