Honestly, I agree men's issues do need to be seriously discussed, but it's wrong to hijack discussion about women's issues to talk about men's issues. The reverse is also true.

I'd like to, whenever possible, move away from women's issues or men's issues towards people's issues.

It's a good thing to do that, but some issues really are heavily affected by gender

[–] JayDee@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 week ago

That is very true. Often, it is reactionaries coming in trying to deny the existence of those issues blocking progress, not advocates for either. There are many actively trying to stop the conversation, and those very same individuals actively pose as 'advocates' while spitting vitriol. "There's nothing wrong with how you act, it's all just those progressives faults! No, you don't need any help, it's all fake!" This is explicitly just to shut the conversation down and strengthen the divide between gender advocates.
