Men's Liberation
This community is first and foremost a feminist community for men and masc people, but it is also a place to talk about men’s issues with a particular focus on intersectionality.
Rules
Everybody is welcome, but this is primarily a space for men and masc people
Non-masculine perspectives are incredibly important in making sure that the lived experiences of others are present in discussions on masculinity, but please remember that this is a space to discuss issues pertaining to men and masc individuals. Be kind, open-minded, and take care that you aren't talking over men expressing their own lived experiences.
Be productive
Be proactive in forming a productive discussion. Constructive criticism of our community is fine, but if you mainly criticize feminism or other people's efforts to solve gender issues, your post/comment will be removed.
Keep the following guidelines in mind when posting:
- Build upon the OP
- Discuss concepts rather than semantics
- No low effort comments
- No personal attacks
Assume good faith
Do not call other submitters' personal experiences into question.
No bigotry
Slurs, hate speech, and negative stereotyping towards marginalized groups will not be tolerated.
No brigading
Do not participate if you have been linked to this discussion from elsewhere. Similarly, links to elsewhere on the threadiverse must promote constructive discussion of men’s issues.

My question is what will they try to do when all of a sudden women are less willing to get married in the first place?
They'll do what a lot of people who vote right-wing (not all) do now. Act controlling, and try to stop them from talking to other guys.
In my case, had an ex-husband swerve at me when I was driving. Dating another woman who the guy has managed to fully isolate from her original friendgroup including myself. He's dropped statements to her such as mentioning he knows where I live, etc. Had another, who decided to threaten me mafia style
Or, ban abortion (which they have already tried to do), so they're forced to carry their kids. At this point of time, surely any guy voting for MAGA (at the very least) should be considered a huge red flag.
And amongst all that, they'll keep blaming everyone else for anything they can
They're already in support of child marriages.
They will try to push legislation and cultural norms that pressure women indirectly into marriage. They will try to make being a single woman less pleasant of an experience. Shame them culturally, cutting funding for single mothers, making childcare more expensive, making workplaces more hostile for women to work in, etc.
Many of these things are already in the works by conservatives, they will continue pushing them forward.
