TIL that r/relationships sides with the man almost 2/3rds of the time

Yep. I used to be somewhat active on the subreddit but I had to stop. Once I found FDS, I was done with that sub. I literally go on from time to time to drop FDS bombs, but that forum is toxic af. Between women who are being preyed on, or just treated like shit, to these fake stories (or sad stories if true) of women being coerced into threesomes or being cheated on. Before FDS, it really shook me that women were dealing with these relationships.

Yet every scrote in the comments is screaming "THIS SUB IS SO BIASED AGAINST MEN!!!!" on the off chance that they do side with the woman.

I saw a post yesterday where a man asked what he should do in a pretty awful situation with his son and daughter-in-law. I'll summarise quickly: the DIL turned up at his house with the kids after a fight with his son. She said he raped her. Son calls later crying saying she cheated and he almost hit her.

Most people thought she was more likely to be lying and then got into that classic discussion where most women lie about rape to ruin men's lives. Some seemed to think cheating was just as bad as rape. Others were sane and didn't point fingers but I didn't see a single comment saying he's probably the liar.

And the thing is, the women who go to that sub for advice usually always have significantly worse, horrifying stories about their SO when compared to the men

And if even THAT sub is telling you that you need to leave your man/SO....then you probably REALLY do.

Now I'm interested in what's the proportion of YTA, NTA and ESH for female and male posters on AITA. I wonder if anyone has done a research on that?

Please please please reach out to women if you are ever on any of the relationship advice subreddits. Just shoot the a message with the FDS reddit. I sent the link out to like 10 people yesterday, not many, but hopefully it will sway at least one of them.

I notice this sort of movement for women getting stronger as the weeks go by. Not only on reddit but other social platforms - whether influenced by FDS or not, women are waking up.

Could this be because men are a higher % of users which causes them to post more and as we usually know the poster MOSTLY isnt the asshole??

I genuinely think most of that sub is made up for karma either way

No shit.

I was really disgusted by the number of people who dismissed a teenage boy jerking off in his friend's mom's bedroom with her underwear. They had the audacity to call her ~kink shaming~ for feeling violated. The fucking gall.
