Why does Wikipedia downplay misandry?

Feminists raiding the article. Now it’s locked

It's terrifying. There are academics whose job it is to promote misandry while denying the existence of misandry

ExMuzzy · 2023-07-05T17:58:39+00:00

I don't know what you call them but those articles have authors with more authority assigned to them. So when you try to add anything, they just revert it or lock the article.

They cherry pick the type of sources allowed and ban users who try to edit the article. For example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Misandry

You can see binksternet asking for sources proving misandry but his opinion, 'The word "most" is actually not going far enough; just about every scholar who writes about these topics will tell you that misogyny is much, much worse in scope than misandry.', which is presented as fact needs no source.

You can see the history of changes here: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Misandry&action=history

Also wikipedia holds editathons where they ask feminists around the world to edit gender related articles.

"Melinda Kanner and Kristin J. Anderson argue that "man-hater feminist" represents the popular antifeminist myth which have no any scientific evidences, and it's rather the antifeminists who perhaps hate men."

How? Just how are they so ignorant?

Wikipedia values secondary sources more than primary ones. So if there is a study that finds misandry is prevalent in society, they will go with feminists reporting that the science is bunk rather than the paper itself. It's really a garbage system particularly about topics subject to controversy and mudslinging like politics.

Same reason social media does. Women control the narrative. You have the slew of women who belive the 3rd and 4th wave feminist stuff and then you have the low T, beta males supporting them, thinking it's gonna get them laid. It's a big bowl of kool-aid.

Wikipedia is a political website that pushes left wing politics like feminism.

plumberack · 2023-07-05T17:54:01+00:00

Wikipedia is operated by the left. Twitter dropped their dependency on Wikipedia months ago and introduced community notes.

SwitchCaseGreen · 2023-07-05T18:42:22+00:00

Political correctness and nothing more.

RecalcitrantMonk · 2023-07-06T05:31:31+00:00

I used to donate to Wikipedia until I started seeing woke ideology being injected into articles. They beg me for money every year. Nevermore!

RandomRedditGuy322 · 2023-07-05T18:55:20+00:00

Wikipedia is a source of left wing opinions. It isn't objective, despite their efforts to make themselves appear as such

AChromaticHeavn · 2023-07-06T11:58:00+00:00

because the world thinks its ok to shit on men

Hornydaddy696 · 2023-07-05T23:36:46+00:00

Try CHATGPT

You'll be amazed

I suppose most people try their hardest to promote ideas that match the politically correct opinion to guarantee they won't get bashed on.

amakusa360 · 2023-07-06T04:23:52+00:00

They're part of the propaganda system like everything else big enough.

Federal-Repair-9635 · 2023-07-06T16:02:43+00:00

I do not look at Wikipedia as a source. It has been changing the meaning of words for political reasons and has lost all credibility in my eyes.

keine257 · 2023-07-06T18:38:51+00:00

Wikipedia is generally western left wing propaganda so thats why .

lewandisney69 · 2023-07-05T21:46:26+00:00

Because liberals own the media, except for Fox.

And most liberals are feminists.

Wikipedia is a mirror of society. Why does society downplay misandry?

resurrect_john_brown · 2023-07-05T18:31:33+00:00

Because misandry wasn't even a word until 1878 - a mere 30 years after feminism kicked off in America. Isn't that a funny coincidence?! It's almost like it didn't exist until men started getting butthurt because women were dating to criticize them.

Edit: r/steveclintonttv made me see the whole butthurt comment in a different way, and I realized that I was wrong and that I owe y'all an apology.

MastermindX · 2023-07-06T11:40:18+00:00

In the 2010's there was a project in women studies programs in universities where they'd get credits for editing wikipedia and introducing feminist bias in all kinds of articles, so they had an army of purple-haired NPCs doing it for free 24/7 (or in fact paying and getting indebted for the privilege). Probably it's still going on. Wikipedia has been compromised ever since, especially regarding anything remotely related to modern politics.

CarHungry · 2023-07-06T21:12:35+00:00

It's tightly guarded by a literal cabal of middle-aged nerds, should be pretty self explanatory.
