    I’ll be honest. I never felt more like giving up then when I was using that sub. Most of it falls onto the same issues of the broader gender discussion.

      There’s something to be said about how narrow specific gender issues are interlinked with broader ones. But that’s kind of a deep cut that’s prone to scaring people away. Just curious, do you think this comm feels different then the reddit sub did?

          Well, would you want to try starting a thread? If it’s about the male experience than people here will be able to relate right?

          I’m personally too afraid of the internet to be a certain level of genuine on a self-post, so if you do want to talk about something feel free to message me. I might not be able to relate but I don’t scold, I just correlate everything with industrial history because I’m batshit crazy.

              Facts, yeah. There kind of isn’t room sometimes to be ignorant or on the wrong side of a power dynamic whether or not you actually used that power.

              Stick around, though. There’s conversations happening here that years ago I would not have dared bringing up in front of people even if they were trying to change or escape the same burdens of masculinity I am.
