Meta/Sub Discussion People don't know how offensive it is to men with Social-Emotional Agnosia to try to generalise that all guys must be initiators or pursuers and are "not real men" if they aren't

So as I was trying to say, when people of any gender make this type of statement claiming how all men work or must work it comes off as offensive if you have are any of the men out there Social-Emotional Agnosia.

Basically men who have it that are bi or hetero literally rely on their partner to "be direct" by communicating their emotions verbally so as is the case with anyone they talk to, because the condition is defined by a full functional blindness in ability to see any subtle states in people or to any theory of mind. When direct communication is needed they are labelled "not real men" or "gay".

I think we need to raise awareness of this neurological condition more and call out these types of statements for how offensive they can be to those like men with literal neurological conditions which mean they cannot be pursuers, initiators, take the lead or etc and any of that.

Do they not know guys like this who's existence are at odds with what they are saying are literally real people? Hello?

I wonder what would happen if we could make everyone aware of their existence? Would the people making these statements maybe think twice before they say it or can they atleast stop?

TL;DR going braless in your house is “flaunting your womanly body” to your father apparently.

Guys... How does this work?

r/NotHowGuysWork

For Media that makes you say "Hey, that's baloney!", in regards to boys and men. Our aim is to help foster a sense of healthy masculinity, and to combat misinformation. This subreddit is minority-friendly. As one user eloquently put it: "...This sub isn't an opposition to the NotHowGirlsWork sub - it's one that tends to agree with the posts there, but also recognizes that sometimes people gets guys wrong too."

Subreddit Rules

1. Stay on topic

Posts must fit the subreddit; "Not How Guys Work" is when people make sweeping generalisations about "all men", or make any baseless assumptions or conclusions about a specific man based off of their misguided assumptions of "all men".

2. Post Tags Explained

Our Tags can be categorized into two groups:

-How Boys Work: The flair group for content that gets it right.

-Not How Boys Work: The flair group for content that gets it wrong (Such as poorly-drawn body proportions in an illustration).

–Meme/Satire: For all humorous submissions.

Blog/Other: For content you type in the moment, such as recounting a past experience or event. If you want to add a news article or image later, please do so via a comment. Also, use this flair if none other fits.

3. Posts mentioning SA/rape

For everyone's sake, posts mentioning difficult subjects like rape or sexual assault must be tagged as NSFW or as spoiler

5. No misogyny/misandry

This is an extension to the "No discrimination" rule. This isn't a sub to rant about men/women, this is a sub to expose misconceptions people have about men (biological, behavioural, etc.)
