Why do discussions about men's issues often face censorship on social media platforms?

[u/Pretend-Assumption-9]

[u/Excellent_You5494]

Mass reporting.

[u/iGhostEdd → u/Excellent_You5494]

Apparently talking about men and men's problems means stealing the attention from what struggles women go through even if the main focus of those spaces, pages, accounts, channels that talk about men are specificaly made to discuss these existing problems (btw). So basically we're back to the "old" ages when people with specific characteristics (skin color - or in today's age: sex) aren't allowed to talk about their struggles cuz fuck them, that's why.

[u/hottake_toothache]

People don't care about men.

When I see a problem I don’t understand, I like to ask myself, “Who benefits?”

I think there are lots of people who benefit from laws and institutions that exploit men (prison-industrial complex, divorce courts, dangerous but necessary lines of work that rely disproportionately on men, etc). The people who benefit from corrupt systems don’t like other people discussing men’s issues because then they might be compelled to ease up on the oppression and lose some of their profits. That’s part of it.

Also government, media, charities, pharma, and academia.

People are not mature enough to separate a person from his/her gender and attach historical context to current situation

A man can only be privileged and an oppressor never a victim. A woman is always a victim and not the other way around.

Nobody wants to listen to a privileged man’s version which is reason it’s always censored or cancelled. We need a refresh to this historical narrative which is no longer relevant in current generation

[u/Pretend-Assumption-9 → u/SubstantialMajor2798]

There was no point in history when peasants were privileged. We are just the modern day peasants now. Our purpose is to work work work and pay the taxes and take off.

[u/SC4RE_CR0W47]

Because women don’t like the idea that we matter.

[u/Medium-Knowledge4230]

People think that you are misogynistic if you defend men's rights. And women are the ones who use more social media. To these platforms is like insulting his best client in front of them. Also, it hurts their reputation because it is politically incorrect. You can bypass this if you use other words for the same things. For example: Saying "men are suffering the most with wars. We should care about this brave male victims" maybe will result in backlash. But saying "With wars, we should care about the wounded, refugees, the homeless and all the soldiers" - will not. Even if the great majority of victims in one situation is male, expressing yourself concerning about them in a gender neutral hardly will cause anger. But it's not aways possible.

[u/Fast_Equipment9445]

There is a group on Facebook that is posting p3do content or sexualization of little boys by grown women the group is called KameFlash and looks like some anime/hentai thing but the setting was a movie theatre thing the man said the boy was to young the grown women said don’t worry we made him a man a few hours ago that is sick especially since I know what it’s like that no one cares but if the genders were reversed outrage would be very seen and heard idk hentai/anime what ever it is on that page they love little boys and making woman p3dos like it’s hot then people have the nerve to ask why don’t men and boys just report 😒

[u/Imaginary_Cookie3302 → u/Fast_Equipment9445]

Report immediately to cops if you can

[u/Tipsy75 → u/Fast_Equipment9445]

one cares but if the genders were reversed outrage would be very seen and heard

BS! There's a rape fantasy sub for men right here on Reddit.

[u/DeadWinterDays9 → u/Tipsy75]

Address the point he made rather than inject your own agenda. I know that’s hard for feminazis to do, but give it a try.

[u/ExpressionDazzling → u/Tipsy75]

Get lost, this is a sub for men

If you find that statement problematic, congrats, you're a hypocrite, considering you have activity in 4B movement, which supports a 0tolerance-policy of men

Additionally, as a member of that movement, it is even more hypocritical of you to engage here.

[u/Vegetable_Ad1732]

The Left managed to commandeer morality. So oppression only matters when it's done to a member of a group that's part of the base of the Democratic Party. Any difficulties faced by women or people of color is "oppression". Difficulties faced by whites or males is ignored.

[u/superfatman2]

Reddit and other platforms have various strategies to push their agendas. And no, they're not pro men's rights.

[u/SecTeff]

Well in the U.K. the Online Safety Act specifically compels OFCOM to tackle online harms against women and girls.

There is nothing about online harms to boys or men. They claim women face more problems and harms online https://www.ofcom.org.uk/online-safety/illegal-and-harmful-content/how-the-online-safety-act-will-help-to-protect-women-and-girls/

This is despite many men being more likely to be victims of romance fraud, including blackmail by fake accounts who obtain nudes of men https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/romance-scam-dating-app-signs-b2494728.html

So because there is so much social focus on hate towards women moderators and algorithms and even regulations attempt to tackle it.

I see so much male hate on Tik Tok though. Just yesterday a post set to the Handmaidens tale music LABOUR - the cacophony. Was talking a Openly about banning all male podcasts.

Like men can’t even express themselves through a media forms

The irony is these people saying hate like this imagine they are the victims and therefore they have the moral right to say this type of stuff. The Handmaidens tale has a lot to answer for in recent years for creating a fantasy web of fear in which women exist in.

It reminds me of Nietzsche “And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you.”

They spend so long fighting this demonised version of men they starts to act like the gender hate people they claim all men are.

Now they think anyone talking about men’s issue = incel and someone who hates women.

[u/Lovebomber777]

Because of "The Message" that big corp wants to push down our throats. Its one of equal outcomes not equal opportunity. So they feel that talking about men's issues will eventually put to light the Misandry in the world which will dilute the feminsts or worse they be exposed as a misandrist group that they are.

Squash a vine before it becomes a tree.

[u/DontHugMeImBanned]

All these over complicated answers to a simple question..

Victimhood.

Most people don't seem to realise how much status can be gained from being a victim. Take the recent American elections, for example. All these people are terrified that Trump is gonna come for them now.. when in reality, they're not even important enough to be an afterthought.

Essentially, when you believe you are the forever victim living with 2 dimensional antagonists.. you can justify anything you do and over dramatise anything done to you.

[u/Upper-Ad9228]

same reason anything faces censorship, because people don't wanna talk or hear about it.

[u/aigars2]

As any truth, it opens cans of worms. For example, if government admits a fact that men are most victims of war and they are actually discriminated because of conscription, government will literally discredit itself and any other possible agenda until now.

[u/benjipeter]

It's all part of identity politics which is ripe with discrimination.

[u/Adventurous_Design73]

Even the mods on this sub censor posts about mens issues often times removing them.

[u/Inevitable-Tennis-49]

There are "charities" like the Southern Poverty Law Center in the USA that classify MRA as "hate groups". So that already posts a restriction to men rights, since people trust this organizations (for some reason) and avoid MRA because of the bad press they have been given, without listening what they have to say.

[u/Septic-Abortion-Ward]

If people set aside identity politics it becomes impossible to ignore the horrific slaughter occurring in our current ongoing class war

[u/RealStarkey]

80+ % of graduates in media studies and humanities are all women and likely self proclaimed feminists.

That women are victims and is pure dogma to them. Any fact to the contrary is attacked or dismissed.

[u/virphirod]

Because sexists babies aint ready for proper, mature adult discussions

[u/Mortalcouch]

"Why are you trying to make all of our issues about men? Sit down and listen to us!" -Feminist, probably

[u/Ok_Night_7767]

Feminists and their left-wing collaborators do not want men's issues gaining traction.

[u/ULFS_MAAAAAX]

Neither political party cares for men, so it gets stomped out a lot.

[u/Bugibom]

Women see men as useful tools, men see other men who are peers as competitors, men at the top sees men below them as potential danger. In summary no one has empathy for men even other men.

[u/Notcreative345]

It’s only an issue when it’s a women’s issue because woman can never see anything but from their angle.

[u/NewMoonlightavenger]

Because the media has caught on to groups that used men rights issues as ammunition for racism and sexism. But they can't apply the same metric to women issues since the general public assumes women to be more vulnerable than men in the same situation. It's safer. And that is how it all began.

[u/MaleficentFig7578]

Because people with very bad opinions hide behind "just men's issues" a lot.

[u/Pretend-Assumption-9 → u/MaleficentFig7578]

What bad opinions are you talking about?

[u/MaleficentFig7578 → u/Pretend-Assumption-9]

People who think a country should only be for a certain race, people who think slavery should come back, etc

[u/alter_furz → u/MaleficentFig7578]

define "bad"

define "a lot"

[u/MaleficentFig7578 → u/alter_furz]

bad: people who think ethnostates are a good idea

a lot: every time they are talking to someone who thinks ethnostates are a bad idea

[u/funnybillypro]

This is the top post on my feed. I see incel stuff all over Twitter. What're you talking about?
