    There isn’t? Millions of liberal men can man just fine every day just out in public.

    What are you missing?

      So you don’t think there are any issues with how men are treated on the left?

      As progressive as the left can be, men have been left behind and are still often expected to ‘just be a man’, while dealing with double standards and sometimes being treated like they’re inherently bad.

      Edit: Copying what vzq has said to me for visibility, as this is the exact problem. Do I sound like the angry toddler in this discussion?

      “I want to be treated fairly and based on how I act, and yet I don’t get that.” You are being treated based on how act. You act like a spoiled toddler that thinks he’s owed some consideration by strangers.

        No, I honestly do not. I do my level best to treat everyone as a person and when I mess up I apologize and try and do better. That works pretty well.

        If you are treated like you are inherently bad, you may be not as good as you think you are.

        Edit: nice edit man. Totally not what an angry toddler would do.

          Again, just disregarding how men feel, where does that get us?

          I absolutely do not act in the way that men are accused of, but blanket statements about “MeN BaD” are so frequent and widely accepted, and it’s just ignored or even praised.

            Can you give a more precise example? I hope you do not mean individuals who write stuff online. In what way do left oriented organisations treat all men like they are bad?

        How exactly are men treated by the left? Perhaps you can give some examples so people understand what your problem is.
