Men's Liberation
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.

Please tell me! This is group, sublemmy, for guys who is in favor of increasing privileges for women, or is in favor of fighting for men's rights? Because feminism, masculinity, and masc people sound like a rebellion against feminism and the liberation of men. At least for me - I am not well-versed in gender trends, so I might be distorting this - I joined the group yesterday and am asking. Does the 'liberation' in the group's name mean neoliberals?
Feminism is certainly not against the liberation of men. It’s not the main concern for women, but it’s still relevant to feminism.
There is a toxic group called Men’s Rights Activists (MRAs) who are anti-feminist. Men’s liberation is basically feminism for men. No relation to the political liberalism or neoliberalism that I’m aware of.
