This will keep happening as long as the left treats any acknowledgement of mens issues as a moral failing

How? By refusing to accept that female on male abuse is a thing. Go find a mainstream leftist place and bring it up. See what happens

[-] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 12 points 2 weeks ago

We’re in one right now and that isn’t happening.

Lemmy isn't mainstream. Most people, even the terminally online don't know it exists

[-] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world -1 points 2 weeks ago

I'm skeptical that there exists any leftist mainstream place that isn't actually a right-wing place disguised as leftist.

I'm also skeptical that all of those loud but irrational voices are genuine. Especially given Russia's MO for online trolling where they push both sides of any issue to extremes to sow division. Not to say that I believe everyone on the left is rational and reasonable. But why would the tone be so different between "mainstream" and "non-mainstream" left places if the position you're talking about is as ubiquitous to the left as you claim it is?

Looking at how many people are angry about this ki da proves your point.

That's truly a joke.

It is my current understanding, from various experiences - and I want to state that I publicly engage with men and women who've had violent experiences in various ways on a regular basis - that men are FAR more likely to be supported when facing domestic violence by the left, the very same woke/feminist left.

The right? They don't give a flying f*ck. As always. The incels and their variants? They don't care. They're in a political crusade against social justice.

So where are the men's shelters? Why is female on male abuse considered funny? And I don't care what conservatives think

[-] needthosepylons@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Who considers female on male abuse funny? I have yet too see any feminist, any worker in a shelter, any of those, find any kind of domestic violence funny.

I'm not talking about Xitter pen keyboard heroes here. I mean real people.

Who's laughing at violence against men?

Taters, conservatives, and their kind, high representatives of the most toxic masculinity.

You clearly can't begin to fathom what's it's like for people who experienced violence and domestic violence. I've never seen a female survivor not listening to a male survivor. I've never seen a left wing feminist working with female survivors not taking a male survivor seriously.

Actually, from my experience, which, I think, is significant at least in my country and generation, they're literally the ONLY ONES who take them seriously (except some of their close ones, friends and family, of course - not all will, but some may).

Look through this thread. Look at the people bitching about the comic. But please keep telling me how much kinder and better women are.

...and yet federal domestic violence law in US was full of explicitly gendered language and until fairly recently (I haven't read over the last two revisions of it in detail), had things like having the standard anti-discrimination boilerplate and then following it with that funded programs were allowed to discriminate with respect to actual or perceived sex or gender if the program felt it was necessary, so long as an alternative was available (no requirement to even give lipservice to it being equivalent), but elsewhere that all funded programs must serve women (hint: they weren't thinking about non-binary people when they were thinking of who that would exclude).

Or Title IX implementation. Title IX literally says that federally funded educational programs cannot discriminate with respect to sex. The implementation of that very simple notion includes things like if a girl wants to play a school sport but there isn't a girls team she must be allowed to try out for the boys team and be allowed to play if she can perform at their level. If a boy wants to play a school sport but there isn't a boys team, he's SOL. Equality! https://www.nfhs.org/articles/title-ix-compliance-part-iv-frequently-asked-questions/

The first men's DV shelter in Canada was repeatedly denied funding specifically because it wasn't a women's shelter until the guy running it couldn't keep it open from his own finances and private donations. When he shut it down, he hung himself in the garage.

The right occasionally pays lips service to men's issues, the left mostly ignores them. Neither generally actually does much.
