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.
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 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:
Do not call other submitters' personal experiences into question.
Slurs, hate speech, and negative stereotyping towards marginalized groups will not be tolerated.
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.

One topic that I believe is related is the decision not to have children.
My wife attempted to get her tubes tied, and every doctor turned her down because she was too young.
Despite being the same age, the first doctor I spoke to agreed to a vasectomy without Amy pushback.
This is a really weird issue that I really don't understand how it's so persistent. Even younger women doctors seem reluctant to sterilize women without at least checking if a husband/so is ok with it.
…the first doctor I spoke to agreed to a vasectomy without Amy pushback.
Everyone knows that women named Amy really want babies and they pushback hard if their SO doesn’t want one.
