“…only a feminist vision that embraces feminist masculinity, that loves boys and men and demands on their behalf every right that we desire for girls and women, can renew men in our society. Feminist thinking teaches us all, males especially, how to love justice and freedom in ways that foster and affirm life. Clearly we need new strategies, new theories, guides that will show us how to create a world where feminist masculinity thrives.” - bell hooks, The Will to Change

Welcome to our community dedicated to fostering discussions on the complexities of contemporary masculinity within the context of the prevailing patriarchy. This space is designed to empower men and men-aligned individuals to explore, challenge, and navigate the various facets of masculinity that they encounter. Here, we encourage open dialogue, where members can share their personal struggles, seek and offer guidance, and exchange insights on cultivating positive and productive approaches to masculinity.

RULES AND GUIDELINES

Respect and inclusivity: Treat all community members with respect, kindness, and empathy. Embrace diversity and promote an inclusive environment where everyone’s voice is heard and valued.
No sexism or misogyny: Refrain from engaging in or promoting any form of sexism, misogyny, or discriminatory behavior. This community is committed to challenging and dismantling patriarchal norms. This includes “support” for sex work, the pornography industry, and any systems of oppression that mainly serve to harm our sisters in struggle. Porn addiction is an epidemic, however, and we support comrades being open and honest about their experiences with it.
Constructive discussions: Encourage thoughtful and constructive discussions. Engage in active listening and consider different perspectives. Disagreements are welcome, but maintain a respectful and civil tone.
No personal attacks or harassment: Avoid personal attacks, insults, or any form of harassment towards other community members. Be mindful of the impact your words may have on others.
Trigger warnings and content warnings: Use trigger warnings (TW) or content warnings (CW) when discussing sensitive topics to create a safe space for all members. Respect others’ boundaries and be mindful of potentially triggering content. If asked to place a trigger warning, it is probably time to place one.
No promoting or glorifying violence: Do not promote or glorify violence, including threats or acts of physical, emotional, or psychological harm. Encourage non-violent and compassionate approaches to conflict resolution when possible.
Relevant and meaningful content: Share content that is relevant to the community’s focus on feminist masculinity. Posts should contribute to meaningful discussions, provide insights, resources, or personal experiences that align with the community’s goals.
No spam or self-promotion: Avoid excessive self-promotion or spamming the community with unrelated content. Share resources or personal experiences in a balanced and respectful manner. Post related content to your heart’s content.
Moderation and enforcement: Follow the instructions of the community moderators and respect their decisions. If you have concerns about moderation or the community rules, reach out to the moderators privately.
Have fun and grow together: This community is a space for personal growth, support, and learning. Embrace a positive and constructive mindset, and aim to create an environment where individuals can thrive and develop a healthier understanding of masculinity.

for transparency: this list of rules is subject to change and a language model was consulted to make it easier to parse through.
