War is looming over the world and male conscription is returning. We unapologetically believe that is should end.

Progressive Mens Advocacy is a diverse but relatively small umbrella of leftists, humanitarians, gender egalitarians, anti-traditionalists, radicals, progressives and other gender dissidents that would like to rectify structural inequalities or rights issues primarily affecting men on the global level.

Issues affecting men—the global male conscription system, male genital mutilation, anti-immigrant brutality, war crimes and genocides, the gendered division of labour, exclusion of male victims from laws against rape & violence and rigid gender norms—ALL contribute to suffering for men and others in invisible but very real ways.

More information:

• We are distinct from the mainstream ‘Mens Rights’ Movement, which uses the issues we care about for their reactionary political purposes. This server is not “for MRAs”, but those who actually believe in the core issues.

• We are distinct from the mainstream ‘Mens Liberation’ Movement for similar reasons. We do not want to impose ideological frameworks on members because we value diversity.

• Leftist & Pro-LGBT. Our membership consists of socialists, socdems, anarchists, liberals, feminists, TRAs and communists. Radical perspectives are needed to solve mens issues. We DO NOT want TERFs! Sorry, not sorry.

• Egalitarianism is required. We demand that you believe in and desire gender equality. Non-egalitarians have no business anywhere near mens advocacy.

• Academic environment. We strive to be a place of learning. Our server is a place to share studies and analyse issues in great depth and create long informative posts. We promote a wide range of interests including: natural sciences, social sciences, philosophy and history. Many of our members are students.

• Strict with moderation. Good faith thoughtful discussion is expected.

• NOT a dating / relationships server! If you have come to grumble about dating, this space is not for you.
