  Feminist demonize male sexuality.

    See, that’s really interesting to me! The mainstream feminist spaces I’ve interacted with have been very sex-positive, so I’m curious how you’ve experienced this demonization.

      Sex positive for women collectively, not for men as a whole.

      Okay provide some links to these mainstream feminist circles that celebrate male sexuality and or are sex positive about men having sex. I’m genuinely interested.

        Here’s exactly what you want: a feminist forum that’s specifically for discussing men’s issues (including sexuality) in a constructive and healthy manner.

    That’s not an explanation you just restated the claim they asked you to elaborate on. What have you encountered that led you to this conclusion?

      Yes it is, masturbation is a part of male sexuality. If you demonize male sexuality any endorsement of male sexual expression is an explicit endorsement of the harmful male sexuality.

        You’ve been clear about what you think dude, we want to know why you think it.

    Not really.

    Feminism embraces openness in society, including walking your own path.

    If that includes deviating from cis male sexuality, then yes, feminism does indeed allow that to happen, if it happens naturally. In other words: feminism does not force you to take part in the toxic masculinity circlejerk.

    In that way, yes, feminism probably reduces the amount of “male sexuality” which is based toxic masculinity in the world. But it does not force that change, instead, it lets it happen.

    My ass. Yes, maybe some inviduals do, but feminism itself does not. Feminists only ‘demonize’ male sexuality when it starts turning into treating us as walking fleshlights.

  I believe feminism has an issue with how women are portrayed in pornography and how that can influence men’s views and expectations of women.
