My hot take is that many if not most of men’s issues cannot be solved with feminism, AND that is ok. We need to have separate movements that aren’t in opposition to each other to get out of this death spiral of gender segregated politics we are in.

I feel like dismantling toxic masculinity is a part of feminism, no? I don’t think all of men’s issues is tied to feminism, but our self-isolation, emotional unavailability, and internalized homophobia is tied to misogyny

Yes toxic masculinity is a huge problem within masculine space, which is, in my opinion very well addressed by feminism. However, many if not most issues that men face aren’t directly related to toxic masculinity, such as how boys typically fall behind in school, face higher suicide death rates and other social issues shouldn’t be reduced to toxic masculinity imo.

However I think also feminism (especially in the fourth wave) is heavily tied to women and is largely a women lead movement ( as it should be). I generally believe the population a movement affects the most should be leading a movement and supported by other groups. IMO most of men’s issues should be dealt with by people who aren’t men and vice versa. ( I am not saying you shouldn’t have an opinion/ support a movement that you are not a member of).
