These studies are made through a lens of "men have frail egos, how else can we frame this viewpoint".
I don't give a fuck about "masculinity" or "femininity". If it's cheap, tastes good, and isn't full of EEEEEEs, I'll buy it. Standard "aubergine", tomatoes, spring onions and whatever aren't tasty without a whole lot of prep. Fuck salads. Give me that cheap, spicy, Indian sauce that I can lather onto sweet potato purree, carrot pasta, and pickled mango... and it costs less than a dish with a fucking steak? Hell yeah I'm buying it! Steak will be what I eat when I go out.
Make another study focusing on pricing and how much money you can save per year eating veggie and I bet my ass it'll have an impact. These stupid "my gender is better than your gender" bullshit doesn't help.

This is why I refuse hybrid or on location working as an office worker: I'm not getting paid for the commute. Fuck that. (Of course, it's also a waste of time to be in the office as it's impossible to concentrate, when you have some sales people loudly talking into their phones right opposite you as you're trying to get some though work done)
So when you buy a phone made from slave labor, are ignorant of the fact until someone tells you about it, but buy another phone built from slave labor, are you malicious?
The people who complain about those in power, sometimes turn out just as bad. These admins probably rail against capitalism, how politicians can't be trusted, and the like, but then do this kind of stuff.
Why is it that #scientists hang on to #twitter? Why don't they move to #mastodon? @hildabast do you have contacts in the science community who could answer such questions?
the question is more in the vein of "why do you as a scientist still use twitter?", not "hey amorphous blob consisting of all scientists with a hive mind, tell me why you still use twitter". If you're a scientist and use twitter, why do you? And if you know scientists who do, why do they?
Think of the question more as "person over there who is a scientist using twitter, why do you still use twitter?" and "group of people who are scientists, what are the myriad reasons you as individuals use twitter?" --> X% because of Y, A% because of B

You will be no better than the people you'll fight against. I've seen it happen on every pro-men subreddit, and if this place isn't aggressively moderated to dispel hopelessness, negativity, and prejudice, it'll just turn into hate....
I agree. I scrolled through the comments (even responded to some) and this community is already heading towards where the feminist communities are heading: blaming the "other side" for everything.
It's not productive in any way and only serves to widen the gap between both communities.

Menimism is a group of humans focused on single issue: men's issues.
Feminism is a group of humans focused on a single issue: women's issues.
Why do you think the former will evolve in a different direction than the latter?
You call feminism cancer, radical feminists think men are the cause of all issues. Why do you think behaving like them and copying their rhetoric is good? Why is it wrong for them to think badly of all men, and you to think badly of an entire movement? Do you think that hatred for each other on both sides is the solution?
I think this is a perfect portrayal of "you're either with us or you're against us". It is a binary view, a dichotomy, of a complex issue that invokes the need to choose sides and see others as the enemy.

Friend, I think you're already falling into the "us vs them" mentality. We should be able to separate the loud, misandrist, "men are the problem, women are the solution", feminists from the "we're equal before the law, but I still perceive inequality and something should be done about it", passive feminists.
That is what is done to MRAs who were just saying "men have issues too, here are some" and being labeled as misogynist, radical, dangerous, and incel (which also shouldn't be an insult, much less one exclusive to men).
Each community has their loud, obnoxious members, but they shouldn't be representative of that community unless the community is mostly loud and obnoxious itself.
As such, I'd like to challenge your view that feminism is the problem and propose that it has much more to do with tradition and religion. Men and women alike face irreconcilable gender roles, prejudice, and traditional and societal obligations, that lead to their oppression:
men should work, women should clean
men and women should make children
men should not show emotions, women are too emotional
men should protect women, women are the damsels
a man should sleep with a woman, a woman should sleep with a man
The issue is much deeper than simple "women say men are the problem, which is the problem". Tribalism, identity-politics, and myopic, single-viewed, unidirectional thinking is toxic.
