Shouldn't the amount of upvotes here and the numbers of articles about Earl show you that they do? It's one of the most upvoted threads on the Fediverse and the most upvoted in it's community.

Why should they?

Feminism has often spoken out against the draft, recently and historically. And the majority of feminist scholars and groups are anti-war and anti-military in general. Stop trying to push this on feminism. Being anti-feminist isn't the way to tackle men's issues.

It's especially about how feminism is bad. That's the center point about the majority of the manosphere. They do not care for men or men's issues. They care about anti-feminism. It has gotten so bad that a lot of people now equate feminism with misandry, at least that is my impression from what I read online. Mind you, this is the intended effect of the rhetoric MRA's use on social media.

Violence and physical abuse is always also emotional abuse.

There are resources and help for men. You aren't helping anybody but sexist trolls by pretending they don't exist. The only thing you are "achieving" is that some victims don't even try to get help.

[–] ParsnipWitch@feddit.de 2 points 2 years ago

It's because you can't say or do anything in regards to this issue without attracting people that have an agenda that has nothing to do with helping men but is simply anti-feminist.

I've read plenty of times online how people don't even look for help because they were convinced online that help for men does not exist. But it does and it should be spread instead of people trying to persuade people it doesn't exist just because they want to spread their ideology.

[–] ParsnipWitch@feddit.de 5 points 2 years ago (2 children)

No, this is not true. Why are you writing this? That's the opposite of helping people.

[–] ParsnipWitch@feddit.de 9 points 2 years ago

Yeah, there is for example this in Hamilton. Men's shelter Hamilton There are a few in Toronto and others in bigger cities.

People can find the closest to them for example on this site: Canadian centre for men and families

Experiencing social consequences for saying something people disagree with is not infringing on your freedom. Unless they band together and try to go further than simply not liking what you have to say, how is that stopping men from saying their opinion on 4chan?

Independently, I wouldn't call 4chan a liberal place. As far as I know, 4chan started and participated in activities in the past that go far beyond simply not liking an opinion. They doxxed, harassed and threatened people, among other things. And with support from many people on that platform.
