I have not even been awake 30 minutes. Usually my morning scroll is nice. I don't follow subs that have depressing or misogynistic posts. But, this is REDDIT, where every sub can have a little cultural misogyny, as a treat.
First off, in a thread about family secrets a redditor confessed that their great grandpa killed a baby and tried to hide its little body in a cave to avoid punishment. The man killed this poor baby while in a "shell shock" episode. Cue the multitude of comments about how ruined that man's life was, how sad it was that he had been in war, what an INTERESTING man he was. No one cared that he killed a baby. A BABY. AND TRIED TO HIDE IT. I truly believe a disregard for the safety and wellbeing of children is tied to misogyny. They are two sides of the same coin, the coin of men not seeing value in anyone except other men. Their selfishness makes them unable to see what monsters lurk among them, if they are not monsters themselves.
The 2nd post I've taken issue with today was much less heinous but still really pissed me off. It was a meme with "advice" for women not to play hard to get with guys they like because In ThIs DaY aNd AgE mEn aRe So SeNsItIvE and ReSpEcT tHe WoRd No and YOU WILL BE SORRY if you push guys away because YoU wAnT tO pLaY GaMeS!!!! Stupid fucking assholes. What most men perceive as women playing "hard to get" is women being polite to men they aren't interested in dating. It is NOT women's fault that men assume anyone that talks to them wants to fuck. That is dysfunction on THEIR part, on a massive scale! But apparently the boys of reddit live in a world free from sexual assault and femicide, so they just don't understand why women aren't throwing themselves at every man, every moment.
Stop the ride, I want to get off.
