That's the problem... When is it time to talk about men's issues? Specifically, in a group that doesn't listen to Peterson and Andrew Tate

I agree with what you said, but I think the solution is to talk about everyone's issues instead of men's issues. Men's issues aren't about the men, they're about how men relate to others.

Women's issues should have their place, but men don't need the same thing... Instead they need everyone to show up and talk about their own issues

Bring it up in a space, any space, that isn't there for the purpose of talking about women's issues. Make a community now. Write in it.

I'm giving the community a month before it gets flooded by Peterson and Tate types.

That's the problem. Some folks managed to create wholesome men's subreddits back in the day. Don't know how they're faring now.

And !comicstrips is a space that is here for the express purpose of talking about women's issues then? Or do you also believe this should be relegated to !feminists, too?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

No and no. We're talking about issues raised by the comic here. Some men's, some are women's.

That’s the problem… When is it time to talk about men’s issues? Specifically, in a group that doesn’t listen to Peterson and Andrew Tate

You can start a conversation.

Ok...I did. That's what I just did. You were there for it

What now? I pointed out the problem, I can tell you the answer at the end of the conversation. The answer is third places.

How do we get there?

There's a difference between starting a conversation and hijacking an existing one.

No, there's not.

This is not a Ted talk or a Wendy's, this is an entirely related post on social media. This is an appropriate place to bring up these ideas
