First time posting here, so it's going to be rant-ish. But I really don't get this. I posted something on the polls subsection. All I said was: For younger guys, do you feel valued by society?

Sir-Longhair · 2022-10-12T02:42:14+00:00

"Men need to open up about their feelings more!"

Opens up about feelings, immediately gets banned. Sounds about right.

Decent-Ordinary-4047 · 2022-10-12T02:44:17+00:00

There is a culture war right now...

Anything about men's health or the needs of men is silenced. If you're a man, you are now considered toxic.

Edit: also it's Reddit... So you're going to encounter more people here that are against you

JCgamerX · 2022-10-12T04:42:44+00:00

it feels like men are stuck in an unwinnable situation and we lack freedom that the women have to break the roles shackled onto us which causes us to become contradictions and constantly being pulled both ways is just painful

Own-Understanding221 · 2022-10-12T03:40:42+00:00

Wait, society value us?

hih_h · 2022-10-12T05:41:22+00:00

Well my friend you got your answer by that act.

Porpoise555 · 2022-10-12T02:16:06+00:00

Banned because they "obviously" are.

Ok-Treacle-9375 · 2022-10-12T02:45:54+00:00

It is very normal to question oneself when something goes wrong, and there is no clear reason as to why this outcome was experienced. A valuable lesson to learn early in life is to follow what you know to be right, and to ignore the comments of those you know to be wrong. Learn from this experience, not everyone will treat you fairly. It doesn’t mean that you did something wrong, just they have their own view, and they don’t have the mental ability to understand or include yours.

Vanriel · 2022-10-12T12:03:09+00:00

The fact that it was deleted and you banned should give you the answer about how much society values men. So I guess in a way it served a purpose.

Eric-Ridenour · 2022-10-12T03:02:03+00:00

People on Reddit can be flat out scumbags. I got massively downvoted earlier today for suggesting black people are not inherently inferior to white people by suggesting they fair relatively the same with some mental illness with some being successful and some not. For that I was downvoted GeForce not suggesting black people be coddled and treated as inferior failures in managing mental illness.

BlvckAnomally26 · 2022-10-12T09:31:38+00:00

What was the subreddit you posted the poll on?

BlvckAnomally26 · 2022-10-12T09:32:51+00:00

As a young guy I definitely don’t feel valued especially if someone gets banned for simply even asking the question.

Izalias · 2022-10-12T04:37:38+00:00

ROFL, you got your answer.

VerbotenVerb · 2022-10-12T07:45:17+00:00

Welcome to reddit

EvidencePlz · 2022-10-12T10:33:28+00:00

polls subsection? what and where's that? I don't see it anywhere on reddit.

DogePadre717 · 2022-10-12T03:18:41+00:00

You are a man, you are supposed to just suck it up! Figure it out on your own, no one is coming to help you!

DavidByron2 · 2022-10-12T05:43:24+00:00

Well you said something that was sticking up for men. That's like speaking up for Jews in Nazi Germany. Reddit, like so many institutions of our society is run by feminists, for feminists, or else the people running it are canny enough to sign on to support them.

It's the general policy of the ruling class to support the feminist hate movement. Not because of their ideology of course. The rich don't give a shit about the stupid crap feminists believe. They promote feminism because feminism is security for them against the possibility of a revolution to overthrow the ruling class. There's broadly three reasons for this (most important first):

(1) feminism undermines Socialism - which is the cause of almost all revolutions these days, at least in part.

(2) feminism more generally divides the working class against itself (divide and conquer) eg by creating constant plenty of social "issues" for people to fuss over.

(3) by promoting anti-male discrimination, feminism tends to control males so that they have less chance of having time to engage in a revolution (revolutions are always by young men - never young women). Of course in this respect feminism is little different from other types of traditional conservatism eg. in locking up more and more men in prison.

In 1920s Germany when socialism was close to taking power the ruling class responded by promoting the Nazis into positions of power (since Nazis hate socialists and seek to kill them). This policy did work to prevent a socialist revolution in Germany and the only cost was WW2 and 80 million dead. That's why the US government after WW2 sponsored Nazis all over the planet (operation paperclip, Operation Gladio etc) and continues to this day (eg Biden sponsoring Nazis in Ukaraine) all over the world except the USA itself. For the same reason the US ruling class promoted extremist Muslim groups like Al-Qaeda (even after 9-11) -- to undermine socialism. It's also why the Israelis sponsored anti-Israel religious groups --- better them than socialists.

So to summarize.

Rich people want to stay in power
So they have to attack Socialists all the time
Which the feminist movement is a big help with
So rich people constantly promote feminism, even though they know it's 100% bullshit
and since the rich own all the media
all media will promote feminism
and that's why you got banned by some nutjobs who hate men

Reddit took down my post where I condemned "Black protestors", and they took down my post. Welcome to the club, guys we all seek validation and admiration from our peers and I feel we need to value ourselves foremost over seeking validation from others. Most importantly we need to teach right values to the younger boys, so that they could grow as fine gentlemen. Kids these days need History and Philosophy classes not Critical Race theory nor LGBTQ+ lectures.

BoTheJoV3 · 2022-10-12T14:31:09+00:00

Outside of my small community? No.

The corporate doesn't care, but people do tend to.

I'm a blue collar worker. The boss doesn't seem to care about our safety.

Accomplished-Foot123 · 2022-10-12T17:26:16+00:00

The world nowadays seems to run on invalidating others problems. We are not individuals but rather beings defined by our sexuality abd gender orientation. We are put into sections and the higher you are, more oprresive you tend to be. So a straight white man is the ultimate opressor. Had you asked "for younger white guys .." you would have been shot dead. So a girl (and others supporting them) can invalidate your opinions and their opinions can be invalidated by a transperson because they are below them in intersectionality opressor-opressed hierarchy!

DecimatingDarkDeceit · 2022-10-12T18:49:00+00:00

As a young men ? Nope. Nuh-uh. Not at all, not even a single 'bit :ı

_Denzo · 2022-10-12T16:51:49+00:00

I feel like I don’t matter sometimes, because by society’s standards I should man up and deal with what ever issues I have but a women gets special treatment with the same issues, a woman is always believed while a man is always thought to be at fault, I was banned from a feminist subreddit for telling people the definition of feminism after people were offended after I said both men and women face feminism every single reply said sexism against men doesn’t exist

NetNeutralitee · 2022-10-12T10:08:07+00:00

What were the options on the poll? Did any of them violate the rules?

RedditIsProMisandry2 · 2022-10-12T17:11:01+00:00

No men should value society. We should let it fall apart.

Also, look at my username.

Gothic_Submissive · 2022-10-12T19:39:03+00:00

I am deeply disappointed in them but not surprised. Feminism and generic blatant man hating and disregarding are disgrace to my gender.

I once was b@nned from there for stating openly that feminism is a poison virus and man hating female supremacy. And that I love making my boyfriend happy.

This crazy world is long gone to hell, I swear.

Huffers1010 · 2022-10-12T07:39:20+00:00

It's weird and creepy of society to react like that, and that's what's causing the problem.

I'm a moderate. I'm never going to start throwing around accusations against all women, or even all feminists, in the same way that really nasty hardline feminists do about men, and I'd never refer to myself as a men's rights activist because too much bad has been done under that banner, just as much bad has been done under the name of feminism. But more and more people who aren't usually particularly political are starting to encounter situations like this in the context of race and gender politics and realising that it's clearly very unfair, risks causing a lot of division, and is generally not OK.

It's not you and I can only commiserate.

Puzzleheaded_Brick34 · 2022-10-12T20:48:11+00:00

Patriarchy alienates and isolates young men yes

Morden013 · 2022-10-12T13:57:18+00:00

Well, at least you were not shot.

I would lock my doors and close the blinds, if I were you.

Also, don't go out for a couple of days.

All the best.

Aware_Refrigerator40 · 2022-10-12T17:14:43+00:00

The down vote is a very special power but with abuse it becomes evil and ignorant, just massively destructive and feels no emotion.

Ozhubdownunder · 2022-10-12T20:48:40+00:00

What is the link address where you posted? It’s very interesting this was so triggering for people. Really confirms the answer.

ShandyFatGirl · 2022-10-12T21:41:28+00:00

What were your answers? I would have to know more about the post to say if its creepy.
