This is not my personal opinion, I know Gen Z men who voted for Harris. But the voter demographics really speak for themselves, and maybe now people will look at the radicalization of young men as a serious (but solvable) issue.

mensliberation space on lemmy.ca

I appreciate your otherwise quality comment but I have to say that I donā€™t intend to use a space that only views menā€™s issues through a feminist lens.

On Reddit, LeftWingMaleAdvocates is a solid lefty menā€™s space.

i spent all of a minute poking around. not a topic i deep dive in really. more hoping to pose the question of ā€œhey do we maybe have a space like this?ā€. someplace where people having a shared perspective would have the patience for eachothers early questions they once had.

iā€™m not on reddit but a few minutes poking around there it doesnā€™t look crazypants. so iā€™ll add it to my comment too.

No thatā€™s fair, I donā€™t want you to feel like Iā€™m saying youā€™re acting in bad faith because I absolutely do not believe that.

nah i get it, i assumed good faith on your part as well. i skimmed through some threads in that sub and all i wanted to do was start jumping saying ā€œguys just pause a second so we can talk about some of this languageā€. but thats absolutely not the place for me to do that.

it would be as productive as the guys whoā€™d go into r/twoxchromosomes posting ā€œexplain like iā€™m 5 why my wife left over not doing the dishes enoughā€. assumimg good faith, i get heā€™s thinking ā€œok this is where other women who have done this talk, iā€™ll ask themā€. there wasnt anyplace else to send the dude, so a few people would try responding. but it always devolved into language policing, because not doing so in that space would forfit the sub to the people it was designed to be safe from. i never commented in that space specifically because it was their sub and i was just there to understand perspectives. i was a guest in their home.

people need to be able to use the only words they know with the meaning they understand them to have. before they can do any self reflection or understand why it becomes important to adjust our language for eachother sometimes.
