I'm making this post, because I've noticed some misconceptions about this subreddit or the purpose of this subreddit.

First of all, you don't have to subscribe to "radical egalitarianism" to participate in this subreddit, or agree with it on everything.

Radical egalitarianism, depending on the perspective of the radical egalitarian, is either a form of feminism, or is a distinct ideology from feminism that borrows aspects of different branches of feminism, as well as combining this with left-wing male advocacy. I personally fall into the second camp, for example.

There are five ways you could conceptualize gender issues:

1. Only women are oppressed by our gender system, and if men are harmed at all, it is a mere side effect

2. Women are more oppressed than men by our gender system

3. Men and women are roughly equally oppressed by our gender system

4. Men are more oppressed by our gender system

5. Only men are oppressed by our gender system, and if women are harmed at all, it is a mere side effect

This subreddit allows perspectives 2, 3, and 4, but not perspectives 1 and 5.

Feminists would tend to agree with either perspective 1 or 2, egalitarians would tend to agree with perspective 3, and MRAs would tend to agree with either perspective 4 or 5.

Male advocates would tend to agree with either 3, 4, or 5.

This subreddit allows egalitarians, feminists, and male advocates / MRAs to participate. It's also perfectly fine to believe one sex is more oppressed/harmed by gender issues than the other.

Oppression score-keeping is more about dismissing the problems of one sex or gender, and promoting perspectives 1 and 5 on our subreddit. The "No oppression score-keeping rule" also allows for good-faith discussion of differing impacts on groups.

We're still trying to fully figure out the purpose of our subreddit. Is it a debate subreddit, a discussion subreddit, a combination of both, or something else?

We're also still trying to come to a mod consensus about what should be removed and what shouldn't.

I personally believe that this subreddit should err on the side of free speech, and just remove posts and comments that pretty clearly violate the rules.

Women are less likely to recieve CPR than men from bystanders. This is due to multiple factors, including fear of being accused of sexual assault, having more discomfort with touching a woman's chest to perform CPR, the perception that women are more "frail" than men, and being less likely to recognize that a woman is experiencing cardiac arrest, such as due to misperceptions that cardiac arrests primarily affect men.

The U.S. Supreme Court has decided not to restrict the nationwide mailing of the abortion drug mifepristone. After the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that abortion is not a constitutional right in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization in 2022, medication abortion continued to be available in states that banned abortion due to being shipped from states where it is legal.

A 19th century federal anti-obscenity law called the Comstock Act was invoked in Justice Thomas's dissent, and it was mentioned by both Justice Thomas and Justice Alito during 2024 oral arguments in a case about mifepristone.

According to Wikipedia, "The Comstock Act of 1873 is a series of current provisions in federal law that generally criminalize the involvement of the United States Postal Service, its officers, or a common carrier in conveying obscene matter, crime-inciting matter, or certain abortion-related matter."

The Comstock Act is not enforced by the federal government regarding abortion.

Do you think there's going to eventually be a new flavor of capitalism that will replace neoliberalism, or do you think capitalism will be replaced by socialism before then? For example, between the 1800s and 1930s, laissez-faire was the dominant form of capitalism (in the West). Keynesianism was the dominant form between the 1930s or 1940s and 1970s or 1980s. Neoliberalism has been the dominant form since then.

Also, why didn't neoliberalism get replaced by another flavor of capitalism after 2008, unlike laissez-faire with the Great Depression and Keynesianism with the 1970s recession?

Liechtenstein and Thailand were the most recent, in 2025.

Which countries do you think will be the next ones to legalize?

Also, which countries do you think will legalize it within the next 10 years?

This means that women can no longer be prosecuted for abortions at any stage of pregnancy, but abortions are still only legal until the gestation limit. Previously, women could sometimes be prosecuted for abortions under some circumstances under archaic laws like the Offences Against the Person Act 1861 and the Infant Life (Preservation) Act 1929.
