I don't get how I'm supposed to believe women are oppressed when they receive this much love and support. Not a single disagreement in this front page reddit thread. Imagine anyone caring about you this much as a man.

I'm subbed there and saw that hours ago. I don't know if they were removed, but I reported a half dozen really misandrist comments in the top third of the comments before I got bored and stopped reading. I doubt anyone noticed sexist generalizations of men in that thread.

The concept of oppression, is a fuel used to leverage more demand, its the oldest tactics in the book.

In a way they actually wish for more perceived oppression, by either faking statistic, or change the definition of oppression itself.

The amount of fragile female ego in that thread is so sad.

Women, at least in western countries have won many privileges. Privilege is the opposite of oppression.

Slaves were oppressed. They were literally considered property. They were denied many human rights. For feminists to claim women are oppressed does a huge disservice to those who actually were oppressed.

Because men systemically oppressing women was never true and is contradicted by human biology.

It is just a product of propaganda that is used to swindle people. In the case of feminism as a philosophy it comes from a tradition that not only accepts but glorifies swindling.

As far as I read the post was about a woman living a lavish life and people were judging her for it so they called it out. But looking at the comments is a different story, the amount of people making these generalizations is horrid. There's a lot to digest but it would be an essay chain i'd not like to make because its not worth it.

I haven't seen much oppression of women in life other than whats on TV about Afghanistan or what have you. My experience with r/antiwork suggests to me that it's probably full of desperate losers. It might have something to do with what you're seeing there.

I'm somewhat amazed that people can tolerate most of the big subreddits.

ApprehensiveMail8 · 2022-01-22T03:09:31+00:00

I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess r/antiwork has a very leftist bias in general.

Women are not oppressed, so there's no need to believe a lie.

WingsofSky · 2022-01-22T14:59:28+00:00

So spoiled pampered brats are oppressed? More likely they just want more power and Privilege. But that's how most of the world is now.

Half the comments on that post were about how she probably didn’t get the job for her skills.

Hard to believe. Perhaps there were a couple, am I right?

Just scrolled down to the second comment.

I told Ed to make sure to wear something revealing to hold their attention.

How tf are they hoping to rid those sort of comments when they partake In them. I am aware that she said it satirically but she still made that comment.

Out of all the places I've worked, guys dont attack other guys like girls do. A guy will call another male coworker useless or lazy. Girls, they attack anything they can. In a prior position I witnessed a coworker telling another girl that she shouldn't get any birthday cake (another workers birthday) because she was too fat already. They gnaw at each other behind each others back.

I pointed out this exact fact and got banned for it

Roboticjupiter · 2022-01-22T07:02:08+00:00

I always like to view things from a biological perspective. Women are always going to be cared for more than a male as almost all life forms are hardwired to protect the sex with symmetrical pairings of sex chromosomes as it is where the species stores successful alleles. Males are born with much higher variability than females which means safety or being cared for isn’t really our thing. However us males have a much higher capacity for brilliance and genius. We tended to sacrifice our safety for genetic uniqueness. Whenever you see something like this, don’t take it to heart too much as it is nothing out of the ordinary from a genetic standpoint at least.

SarahLesBean · 2022-01-22T06:26:01+00:00

She literally calls out hate by some extreme men towards women. How tf can you be jealous of people agreeing with her that this is not acceptable?

Like, how do you turn this into a "man issue" when the post is literally about mysoginy?
