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.

Time for the silent majority to get off it's ass, then.
I remember when "the silent majority" were the ultra conservative and religious nutjobs who helped bring Reagan to power.
I don't know, but I don't think they were the majority and they certainly weren't being very quiet, let alone silent. Now, of course, we can hardly hear ourselves think for all the racket they make.
I'm just hoping that the actual majority is at least mildly progressive so we can keep things moving forward. And it is definitely time for that progressive majority, if it exists, to stop being silent. Part of having free speech is the burden of speaking up and flooding the public square with good and honorable speech.
Funny enough, it’s the Silent Majority that support it.
That's what worries me.
