Are potential harms of the testosterone replacement therapy industry discussed in MRM circles?

I don't know a lot about this topic. It isn't meant to deride men who legitimately need testosterone therapy. I haven't been following MRM discussion as much in recent years. I'm wondering if there is discussion of the potential harm to men's health due to the way that TRT clinics operate.

I recently had my testosterone checked due to fatigue issues, but it turned out my testosterone was a little higher than what my provider considers to be healthy. (edit- I am not personally interested in seeking testosterone therapy, my testosterone is too high. This is just what made me think about the topic.)

When I have looked at discussions of people going to TRT clinics, some say they don't even test your testosterone levels- they just go by symptoms. I would say the symptoms that I have had could be considered symptoms of low T, so someone in my position could be given testosterone therapy when their testosterone is already too high. I'm not an expert, but it seems like this could put men at higher risk of serious health problems.

Women can’t expect men to care and help with their issues when they mock and belittle theirs

I don’t mind women sharing their issues nor do I mind men and women helping each other, I actually want that. It’s just when men share their issues and women respond by mocking, belittling, disrespecting, and disregarding it. They shouldn’t act surprised when men don’t care or act apathetic towards theirs.

The 2024 presidential election was a good example of this, it was the same year the ‘man vs bear’ trend was a thing, which was an awful time to be a guy. Basically all men were vilified for months on top of that. Fast forward to the months leading up to the election women were screaming constantly about abortion and encouraging men to vote for Harris. But what I’ve noticed on-top of that was how whenever men expressed their concerns of what Kamala is gonna do for men like me they were met with mockery and disrespect. With the usual comments like “who set that system up” or “why does men matter” etc.

Like holy it’s no wonder why men were apathetic, so top of the line is if you want young men to care about your issues trying caring about theirs too.

Do men actually vote as a gender bloc? If not, is the men’s rights movement strategically doomed?

I’ve been thinking about a problem that MR/Rp spaces don’t always tackle head-on:

Women can sometimes coordinate politically across class lines around gender-linked issues. Men… don’t seem to. Or at least, not often, and not consistently.

I ask: Are there U.S. historical examples of men acting as a unified voting bloc across ethnic and socioeconomic lines to pass laws that benefit men as men?

My provisional conclusion: I can find plenty of cases where men mobilize as workers, veterans, religious voters, party coalitions, But examples of men mobilizing explicitly as men, across race and class, to win a clearly male-salient policy goal look rare.

So I’m left with an uncomfortable question:

If men don’t vote as men, is “men’s rights” politically viable?

If men’s political identity is consistently weaker than class/race/party/religion, then maybe “MR” works better as a set of issue campaigns (education, workplace deaths, mental health, family courts), not a mass electoral bloc.

Why men don’t seem to unify around gender (my working theory)

I think men have a coalition problem:

1. Cross-cutting identities beat gender. Men are split by class, race/ethnicity, ideology, religion, geography. Those splits are often more politically “important” than shared maleness.

2. Men’s problems are less universally shared Not all men experience the same pain points. For some issues (custody, criminal justice exposure, job risk, schooling), the impact varies massively by class and race.

3. Gender-first male politics is socially expensive “Women organizing for women” is usually framed as correcting inequity. “Men organizing for men” is easily framed as defending privilege—even when the issue is legitimate.

What would need to change for men to vote with gender as the primary motivation?

If you want “men” to become politically salient the way “women” sometimes are, a few things would probably have to be true:

A widely shared, clearly male-linked constraint that cuts across class and ethnicity (not just a niche or subgroup issue).

A mainstream moral frame that reads as fair and pro-social (not grievance-only): “This helps families/communities by fixing X male-skewed harm.”

Measurable, simple asks (2–3 policies) that don’t obviously trade off against other groups.

Legit institutions and messengers that aren’t "threatening": union leaders, veterans, faith leaders, educators, clinicians—people who can speak to broad male life realities.

A coalition bridge that doesn’t require men to abandon other identities but links them: “Whatever your politics, this harms boys/men and fixing it improves outcomes for everyone.”

The question I want to put to this sub

Is the men’s rights movement better off trying to become a gender voting bloc, or should it accept that men don’t (and maybe can’t) coordinate that way—and instead focus on issue-based wins that can recruit across parties?

If you think I’m wrong and men have formed a true cross-ethnic, cross-class voting bloc as men, I’d genuinely like examples (with dates/laws), because that would be interesting to learn more about.

MGTOW

I have started doing some research into the men going their own way movement because that's an avenue I am strongly considering because of my current living situation. Wanted to know what everyone thinks of it and if there are any addition resources you could recommend me checking out.

"Are men going to protect women and children?"

Saw a stupid post like this on Twitter/X (not that anything intelligent can typically be expected of there). Ugh. It's bad enough to see the sexist and exclusionary "women and children" rhetoric which I despise so much being used, but then this notion for men to protect them... so is this same idiot also asking of women to protect men and children as well? How about asking everyone regardless of gender to protect each other and look out? As usual it just goes to show how so much of the time men are merely seen as objects to prop up women and not promote genuine unity among both. I hate it so much, garbage like this is why both misandry and misogyny will always be rampant and nothing will ever be solved.

Circumcison of infants is sexual assault

It's sickening how so many people are ok with it.

If you GENTLY TOUCH someone's (of any age or gender) genitals without that person's consent, you have sexually assaulted them. Even if you touch their genitals through their clothes without actually making contact, that's still considered sexual assault.

But somehow cutting off part of a baby boy's penis isn't sexual assault? Torturing him by inflicting agonizing pain onto his sexual organ isn't sexual assault? Depriving him of his ability to feel sexual pleasure the way nature intended isn't sexual assault? WRONG!

If you don't have consent and it's not medically necessary, then it absolutely is sexual assault. The most disgusting and horrific form of it I can possibly imagine. These "doctors" are actually evil, sick, vile and violent child abusers. And anyone who agrees with doing it is an absolute monster.

It's horrifying. I came out of the womb and was immediately brutally tortured as the nerves I needed to feel sex naturally were severed from my body.

I never consented to this! I never would have consented to this at any age of my life! I want the child predator that mutilated me to be punished! As well as my parents who gave permission, for they are equally guilty for willfully handing me over to the penis butcher! 🤮🤮🤮

WRC rules woman was discriminated against on the grounds of gender & age when applying for a firefighter position as a beep fitness test was used “without the application of a normative table that considers age and gender”. I think lowered standards could be dangerous in situations like this.
