How Dare We Have Standards...

How does this place want to run womens lives? No one is holding a gun to women's heads forcing them to take the advice here 😂🙄 telling people to do self analysis is healthy and necessary.

While the purpose of FDS had been women-centric and women-counseling, it seems to be issuing instructions on how women should live their lives and even putting labels on them because of their choices.

Oh please. This is a BS argument. Women get labelled no matter what they do. Look at the words the Manosphere has for women - they have something for everyone!

If women don’t agree with FDS’ rules or don’t fit the kind of mold FDS would like to put them into, the 54,000 members' strong online community and asks them to leave FDS

Another BS argument. Plenty of subs have had to take this stance or their community becomes overrun. I don't want to discuss why someone thinks FDS is bullshit or be overrun with 'waaahhh gold-diggers' all over the place. I don't want to debate the semantics of FDS. People can take that discussion elsewhere on Reddit which is done every single day. A sub-reddit is NOT a self-contained website. We are on reddit and I'm sick of people acting like every sub should cater to every user on Reddit. If I go on some sub made for porn and start posting anti-porn articles I'm sure I'd be 'asked to leave' there too lmfao

It seems to be laying down outdated norms for women and despite growing in numbers, doesn’t address issues between men and women. It only provides solutions that fit into its framework.

I don't know about the rest of FDS but I don't care what other women do. I don't want to ride the cock carousel, and I don't care if some other chick wants to ride 100 dicks a day. But I know that casual sex is shitty for me and I want a life partner and I want a man that views sex the same way I do.

Also, the most I have seen on FDS that it 'antiquated' is the steps for the beginning of the relationship to try to see if a man is serious about her. Most of the users on FDS seem to say to never become a SAHM and never rely on a man for everything you need financially. So, where is the rest of the outdated norms?

This entire article is entitled. It makes blanket statements. That's like me going and saying 'r / worldnews pushes radical conspiracy theories into the limelight, setting a dangerous precedent for the political futures of democratic nations'

Like, what? Citation needed.

Fuck off. We aren't promoting terrorism or violence.

I love that this sub actually has rules for us. Its like saying if you agree with these things that degrade women, leave or dont share your opinion.

The fact that he made a whole article attacking the sub XD LOL!

The fact they think that women who object to bdsm, porn and casual sex is such an absurd concept speaks volumes about the current state of affairs

You’re “supposed” to be objective in journalism. This article reads like a puff piece for the incel newsletter.

Not sure if anyone else noticed this, but his agenda was clear when he wrote the following: “Not just that, but they also don’t allow trans people”.

How clever. He specifically includes this to rile up the trans community, and hopes FDS will be banned for being a hate sub. Biological or not, men will always try to destroy what they can’t control.

Keep it coming 😂 won't change my standards. I want to be safe and avoid abusive situations. I want men to wear a condom. I only want some one who truly cares about me to benefit from my body and soul. Guess that makes me CArrrrAZY and dogmatic. That's so sad lol. Because that is only my bare minimum.

Keep talking about us! We're growing for a reason :-)

I for one have a new lease on life because of this sub. I didn’t have a wise female figure at any point in my life or even a “protective father figure.” So I was lost to the wolves pretty much and wondering why I was taken advantage of literally all. the. time. I had no rule book, no gauge, no nothing. Walked all over at every turn. Been in multiple abusive relationships and didn’t get why being nice got me nowhere.

I honestly think my life is going to turn out so much better for me having found this place. Really. I think some women here feel the same and that’s why we’re trying to get others to at least come take a look. If we can save one poor girl from a miserable life of catering to someone that doesn’t even really like her that much? It’s a good thing.

So, helping women avoid the pitfalls of the free prostitution industry that is the modern dating scene is ruining our lives?

Novemberinthechair · 2020-02-19T06:00:50+00:00

Oh, he's trying to disrupt the community here because it hurts his pen's feelings.

That means we're on the right track.

WimminCritter · 2020-02-19T06:30:50+00:00

Pathetic man can't even proofread an article. I'm actually impressed how many mistakes he managed to squeeze in there.

timetofliptables · 2020-02-19T07:01:19+00:00

I don’t even know where to begin with all this. The title is bad enough. Apparently Reddit is a person now.

What similar titles shall I use for my next piece of writing... hmm...

“Facebook is trying to make people shop: offers advertising, videos, and suggested content.”

“Library is trying to make people read: offers books, magazines, and newspapers.”

“Walgreens is trying to make people become drug addicts...” you get the point.

Like.. the information is here, people can take it or leave it. Stop trying to sensationalize it, it just looks dumb and regardless of opinion is shit writing.

Not having sex before commitment

TheChaosRitual · 2020-02-19T18:41:25+00:00

Oh nooo a bunch of women telling other women they deserve love and respect and good things in their lives.

Oh the humanity!

2020-02-20T00:26:44+00:00

Nice editing:

While the group seems to be centered on women, it regressive attitude despite a growing community doesn’t seem to be focused on improving women’s dating lives but at controlling and judging them.

Lol. Low value article right there, although I guess any publicity is better than no publicity!

bimbobunnyintraining · 2020-02-19T10:51:05+00:00

an idea: how about we don’t post links to articles that clearly hate us so they don’t get our clicks?

what is queen energy about reading bad press?
