Only one gender experiences toxic social media.

Archive links to The Guardian and all such outlets. Do not give them clicks or traffic.

Also, this anonymous "15 year old girl" (who I suspect is a middle aged Guardian writer LARPing) should do a little research and check her myopic, misandrist worldview. An entire series of articles like this could be written from the male perspective on the myriad of truly vile sexist content being posted about boys and men (mostly) by girls and women - not to mention in the real world too - only that is deemed socially acceptable.

I read the article. As expected, her most extreme examples of misogyny are basically a light drizzle compared to the absolute torrential downpour of misandry men experience online on a good day.Here is one of her examples: "Do y’all females ever tell ur homegirls 'sis chill you letting too many dudes hit?".. Apparently the use of the word female here is degrading and also men are bad if they care about sexual history and that is why this a grave example of misogyny.

Meanwhile today I've experienced calls to genocide of males by reducing to 10% of the population (an old feminist classic), calls to imprison all men and force them into slavery (perhaps to do societies dirty and dangerous jobs or go to war?), and dancing and laughing about male suicide with the captions saying they hope more men to kill themselves. I have not even eaten breakfast yet.

Of course, the difference isn't just in the 'degree' of the hatred. It's also in how socially accepted and widespread it is. Overt misogyny is rare, marginalized, and even banned. Misandry is the default setting, expressed casually online as part of almost all discussion about men and embraced by social media companies. Here are some popular trending and celebrated tags: KillAllMen, MenAreTrash, MasculinitySoFragile, CancelMen, "Man vs Bear", and recently "Men aren't lonely enough".

Of course, the misogyny this girl mentions exists for men as well. Every day I see posts attacking men in dating culture, "if he wanted to he would", "icks" (complaints women have about mens bodies, hobbies, work etc that often reinforce male stereotypes), "performative male", shame videos of men not giving up seats or putting themselves in danger, low value/high value males, female dating strategy style content etc.

TLDR: Men experience misandry in the same way that this girl experiences misogyny - but in a far more widespread and socially accepted, inescapable way. Men also experience far worse forms of misandry beyond anything women have experienced online, hate content like genocidal rhetoric, celebrating and promoting male death, aborting male babies, etc. Not on some fringe dark net, but signal boosted and hash tagged on popular social media.

I am into this men's advocacy stuff because I survived CSA from my Mom as a little kid. Every other time I talk about these experiences online I get a DM from someone calling me a piece of shit, a liar, a misogynist, and of course, an incel. But hey, I'm a guy, so who cares.

So unfortunately I read majority of it from archive link. Most is typical feminist drivel of “Men bad men bad men bad!” but the real deal is in last few sentences. This ‘15 year old girl’ goes and supports the ban of online usage for people younger than 16 saying it would decrease the misogyny online. This is the heart of it basically, feminism is a tool for the elites to oppress people, a front for them to silence and censor the lower classes.

I was just about to post this too! I feel like this shit happens to both side but somehow one is normalized… I feel like teenage boys are getting bullied just as hard or feeling dehumanized solely for their race/gender

when I see "the guardian" I know that I don't have to read it.

Oh, it's about "digital violence". And only women can be affected ofc. A brand new BS. It's not only because they are dramatically running out of what to whine about. They want even more censorship.
