For example workplace harrasment by women towards males like touching or groping being ignored because the victim is male but if it where to happen to a woman by a male the male would be fired

    We had to shutter !twoxchromosomes@slrpnk.net because of persistent and vocal judgement by a large population of Lemmy users, many from Lemmy.World. So no, talking about issues specific to their gender is definitely not a double standard where men get the short end of the stick.

    This is why you get judged. Because you so nakedly put on display how much ignorance and little empathy you have for women’s issues.

    !mensliberation@lemmy.ca exists specifically for men who understand their issues in society are intersectional with women’s issues, and that solving them requires uniting to end patriarchy. Any discussion outside of that framing deserves the assumption that it’s a misogynist men’s pity party.

      Why is it okay for twoX to be devoted to women’s issues and actively discourage comparing them to men’s issues, but men can’t have an analogous space?

      Fwiw, if your twoX was different from previous similarly-named communities then I am sorry it closed.

        I think you misunderstood me. I do think men should have an analogous space. I support !mensliberation@lemmy.ca 100%.

        If you didn’t misunderstand me, men don’t need a space specifically for comparing their issues negatively against women’s issues. That space is everywhere and anywhere, as evidenced by this discussion occurring in !asklemmy@lemmy.world and collecting overwhelmingly positive upvotes.

          Your comments here are an example of double standard.

          You are asking for men issues to stay in groups specific to that issue. Anyone who did the same for questions about women would be called a misogynist.

            Wow, you’re really reaching there. I’m asking you to stop blaming women for men’s problems. There’s a group of people who aren’t doing that, and if you don’t want to be called a misogynist, follow the example of that group.

              I’m asking you to stop blaming women for men’s problems.

              And yet you’re the exact type of person to blame men for women’s issues lol

              Your mental gymnastics are funny
