  That is first and foremost a feminist community, so the focus is not on men. That’s not what we need.

    Feminism and men/masculinity are mutually inclusive.

    MensLib is a place for men and men’s issues—its literally in the ‘about’ section.

      They are not inclusive, though it is what they want you to believe. Feminism is about women–it’s in the name. Also, when you read the founding documents of feminism, there is a strong anti-men stance. This is simply not the right lens through which to view men’s issues.

      And having experienced MensLib on Reddit in the past, there men’s issues were always made subservient to women’s issues. And the draconian moderation made sure no criticism of feminism was allowed to stand.

      To really discuss men’s issues, a space is needed that is free from the ideological shackles of feminism.

    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

    2k subscribers, so at least posting there about the new community can help
