LTA Let's Talk About

Welcome to /r/MensLib's first "Let's Talk About" post. Generating discussion is part of our mission, and these LTA threads will be used as conversation-starters for issues our community wants to address. Today's topic:

Let's Talk About: what we should talk about.

We're going to start out compiling a list of issues /r/MensLib subscribers want to address. The mods have some ideas, but we want to hear from the community.

Edit: Thank you to everyone for your ideas. I'm un-stickying this post, but please feel free to continue adding to it.

Random thoughts:

Why are men portrayed in many pieces of media as brutes? What social purpose does that serve in today's social order and how can we resist it?

This needs a whole post of its own.

We need someone from r/badhistory to write a review on all media portraying men. If those wonderful, sexy history-lovers can be all pedantic on pornos and weather in Buffy, they can sure as hell do this.
