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.

Define " like women"
You're downvoting pretty benign responses, and adding a lot of your own preconceptions to what I've said, so I'm going to pass. Have a great day though. Keep-on sending it on the wall!
That's a very reasonable question which you're clearly trying to avoid answering. You're generalizing women.
None of the women I know fit into a specific category . My down votes don't make what you're saying valid.
Just so you know, it's possible I misinterpreted what you said, but it sounds like you're implying it's a negative thing. Some of the most masculine blokes I know are actually the most supportive people I know. People fit a spectrum.
