The worst part… it works. E.g. on me, and i know. It is difficult to see these kind of posts, which are clearly misandry, and then hear people deny the trend for misandry, especially online.
OBVIOUSLY there is a shit tonne of misogyny, especially online and that is a big problem. But we shouldn’t ignore the trend to misandry. It is not a competition and we fight against misogyny better if we fight sexism in general, I believe.
But the posts make me feel like a shocking amount of people are not against sexism but just misogyny. How am I supposed to feel like those are not my enemy when I am opposed to sexism?
Then I spend time with the people that I love and I am good again but… it is fucking poison.
I can’t believe I’m about to defend grail, but i this thread they’re objectively correct and you’re not. Worse still, you’re being a douch about it. Stop it.
While I do agree with your sentiment I think its critical we work thru the issue so the rich can’t use it against us. Somehow get to an understanding that men and women face issues, both should be supported.
There’s still too many men who can’t understand why a woman would ever choose the bear.
I mean, I can’t imagine most people being in favor of those things. My idea was more about how online we see missandry and misogyny, even in this comment section. The most well-known recent example was the bear.
Just that we should try to work through our divides. Women vs men. Urban vs rural. Etc. Because they’re easy distractions.
I hate these kinds of posts too. All they do is promote division in these times we have to stick together against the billionaires

This post still isn’t at bad as a roofie.
We can start working on posts like this once we’ve solved the roofie problem.
A roofie isn’t as bad as the bombing of schoolchildren. We can start working on roofing until we’ve solved the warcrime problem.
How can we not work on both at the same time again?
What counts as “solved”? What are the goalposts, and who gets to judge those?
Did you even read the comment you replied to?
Why is roofying bad? She won’t remember it, and that’s good enough for women when they circumcise their infant boys.
Circumcision is actually horrible. My partner is still really sad it was circumcised even after all those years.
Circumcision doesn’t just affect men. People of all genders are circumcised and suffer for it. So please don’t make light of circumcision.
Honestly you probably shouldn’t start a “Who can make the most braindead stupid argument” competition if you can’t handle losing, Grail.

I agree, they definitely lost the “Who can make the most braindead stupid argument” competition…congrats on your big win 🤣🤣🤣
Thank me for my service o7
I was circumcised so I’m allowed to like how the chinese can throw cats at their enemies.

Except polling on most issues regarding women are positive. No one is favor of more rape, lower wages, and sexual harassment.
That being said the bear analogy pisses me off

100% agreed. I just hold lemmy in a higher regard because I see less divisiveness here vs other social media and it want to keep it that way
