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.

Jack had heard a lot about the invite-only social media group Blokes Advice when he decided to apply to become a member. The group pitches itself as a place men can go for support when life gets hard and is affiliated with Better Bloke Project, a men's mental health charity.

But Blokes Advice has also been accused of harbouring a culture of toxic masculinity. It didn't take long for Jack to experience the group's dark side firsthand.

When Jack was accepted into the group, he found all members were required to post a photo of a woman they rated a "10" for attractiveness before asking a question on the chat. He noticed the thread sometimes contained comments that were misogynistic and degrading towards women.
