Despite the never-ending concern about misogyny in online spaces, hateful and misandrist ideologies aimed at women make their way to big media outlets in a positive light.

Honestly I think the biggest contributer of this is the idea that any organization/movements that's left-winged have to moral high ground.

Just because a movement's goal is a good thing, does not mean the movement is good.

Let me explain. If one day I open an organization called "cure cancer" in order to cure cancer, that's a good goal most people would support. However, what if I only focus on breast cancer in men, instead of all cancers, raise fundings by selling cigarettes and alcohol, and use 50% of the fundings for meetings and business trips?

If you follow the moral high ground way of thinking, anyone who doesn't support me probably is an asshole, but anyone who can critically think would realize the organization was incompetent at best, currupted at worse.

This applies to feminism as well. If I had a dollar everytime someone say "I support feminism because stands it stands for equal" I probably could take everyone on this sub to a five star restaurant.

Like my hypothetical organization feminism has huge flaws. It's filled with false statements, misandry and just hate in general. The people who associate themselves with feminism also tend to be misandrist hypocrites. For example, Billie Eilish would wear baggy cloths to support body weight positivity, which is something you can change, but is totally fine with shaming men's dick size, which you can't change.

With all of this, I honestly question myself on how any rational person could still see feminism as a good movement.

Supporting an ideology that demeans women by saying "Yes, you're helpless and need to extract as many resources from men as possible" seems pretty-on brand for fake liberals these days. It would be one thing if they just admitted they were conservative traditionalists, but because they won't, now moderates associate being liberal with this kind of thinking and no one is advocating for true egalitarianism in relationships. If you do, like us, they actually call you the fake liberal.

If you have to use FDS tactics in order to get a man, the problem isn't that there are no "real men" anymore. It's you justifying too high of standards and wanting to retain your gynocentric privileges like not having to invest any energy, time, or resources into courtship, whilst still playing the victim.

You can say the same thing about this as PUAs, though: people wouldn't use those tactics if they didn't work. Meaning that like women taking a stand against PUA, men need to not let desperation drive them to this. Only then will it go away.

Like, I hope that guy she snagged is happy, but it sounds like a whole lot of "no thank you" to me.

Yes, The Guardian wrote an article painting Female Dating Strategy in a good light. And to be fair, I won’t send this bill to feminists alone, because not all FDS users are necessarily feminists. However, I still gotta ask to feminists and all those who oppose men’s rights advocacy: if we truly live in a society that prioritizes male needs over female ones and that rewards misogyny, why are men who engage in misogynistic behavior being socially and institutionally condemned to obscurity, while women who engage in misandrist behavior are either met with indifference or even given platform?

I wrote them an email. I was also going to report them to the UK hate crime division for advocating for a hate group but it's the US version.

It's funny how AHS people talk about this constant misogyny but don't have much to show for it. When they do point to something, it's often someone being anti-feminist, not anti-woman.

Brutal is one way to say ridiculously bigoted.

But what did you expect from the idiots at “the guardian”.

Document them ... historians will not look kindly on them!

It’s time to admit that this is a problem

They are not a "dating" sub.
