A recent study found that men who more strongly endorse traditional masculine norms experience higher stress and are less likely to seek mental health help, emphasizing the need to address gender-specific barriers and promote positive masculine traits.

    We live in strange times. The biggest exponent of traditional manly virtues spends hours a day on his hair and makeup, and wears high heels.

          Isn’t that a proponent?

            Similar words, both would work. Look them up if you’re interested. Exponent connotes more of a “believer” to me, whereas the proponent is an advocate.

      If I could add one thing to presidential debates it would be making the participants life a 40lb test weight like they do when you interview with a shipping company. People don’t have to care about how well they do, I would just like to see it.

        One of the most interesting things about Trump is that you never have to mention his name; just describe something third rate or inane and people know.

          Trump is pretty much the poster child for every single negative cliché about US-Americans, it’s wild.

          As a villain in a movie script, he would have been rejected as being too many evil stereotypes stuffed into a single person.

            I’ve been repeating this story for a while now.

            Right after the 2016 election there was a panel discussion that included the creative teams behind all the biggest political shows on TV. House of Cards; Veep; The West Wing; Scandal, and all the rest.

            Every person up there said the same thing; if they’d had a character who said that ‘he liked soldiers who didn’t get captured’ the networks and advertisers would have demanded that the character be shown as being hated by all Americans, and thrown into the gutter.

              And that’s probably one of the more harmless things he said. He literally praised the Tianmen massacre for example.

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.
