Why Does Reddit Allow Subs (the one with 15 Million women and others) That Promote Open Misandry?

ByronsLastStand · 2024-11-07T07:34:31+00:00

One of their rationales will be that misandry either "doesn't exist" or "isn't serious enough", unfortunately.

Nochnichtvergeben · 2024-11-07T09:35:52+00:00

They're also ok with open transphobia and racism as long as they specify that it's against men or AMAB's. I've reported comments and posts but apparently radfems play by a different set of rules.

MathematicianTop6153 · 2024-11-07T07:40:50+00:00

Reddit is OK with openly misandrist subs. Reddit is also OK with sexualization of minors. Somebody tried reporting a disgusting subreddit sexualizing a 13 year old and that person was banned for a month lol. Don't expect Reddit to do the right thing as misandry is culturally acceptable and it increases their engagement. Even Instagram and Twitter have had a huge role in perpetuating similar hatred, dont expect Reddit to be any better it's a social media platform after all.

In all seriousness, I suspect shutting down a hateful misandrist sub would be seen as misogyny and would attract criticism across the wider internet.

I also suspect that the sub in question is one of the best recruiting tools for this sub.

As useful as Reddit is it's not a moral one. I imagine us and r/Mensrights are on the radar and may be targeted eventually. Men's issues just aren't issues to most

Maybe r/menslib one day too. Would be awesome if we had an alternative

Take a look at this conversation. Apparently they're "too small to be moderate correctly"

We been through this a lot, hypo and hyperagency. If a man writes something negative about women he's seen as dangerous, if a woman writes she wants to kill all men she's seen as harmless, she's just venting, someone hurt her and we have to help, in fact it's the society's fault she wasn't protected well enough.

AdSpecial7366 · 2024-11-07T09:33:50+00:00

"Cause Misandry doesn't Kill" /s

brokenborderlineboy · 2024-11-07T13:13:53+00:00

Reddit's only guiding principle is delivering a profit to their shareholders. Misandry is not bad for advertisers in the way that misogyny is. Women are wonderful effect.

InterestingGate7002 · 2024-11-07T14:28:44+00:00

Men are not a "protected group" on Reddit. The most likely culprit is PR. Partly because a large chunk of Reddit's customer base is the "Twitter mob", and partly because it keeps the negative press away.

It's bullshit if you ask me, but it is what it is.

gavkahootsmasher · 2024-11-07T14:53:58+00:00

arethestraightsok has gotten pretty bad

hhhhhhhhhhhjf · 2024-11-07T20:51:59+00:00

To quote the Reddit admins:

those communities don't break our content policy. Our rule1 protects groups that are attacked based on a vulnerability, which doesn't pertain to white people or men as a group.

JohnGoodman_69 · 2024-11-07T21:01:43+00:00

Reddit admins saw a comment that said "I'm glad you got raped" aimed at a man and said "this doesn't violate our context guidelines" when that comment was reported soooo. Its par for course.

Here's the comment in question: https://np.reddit.com/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates/comments/1e0fakt/the_comics_subreddit_is_having_a_bit_of_a/lcoed7w/

Try and report it and see what happens.

calvincloud9 · 2024-11-07T08:59:19+00:00

It’s not a reddit issue it’s a cultural issue. The pendulum has swung too far on the other side after the metoo movement. Open misandry is tolerated in our society. I have seen women walk publicly (typically the feminist, lesbian, liberals) with shirts that say “All men are trash” or “Avid man hater” etc without receiving much backlash due to the recent decade events surrounding female sexual assault cases and the rise in extremism in feminism. The problem is society (especially women) are not doing a good job at checking these extremists much like how men didn’t do a good job at checking misogynists. We aren’t checking our extremist population and allow one side to slip up

Minimum_Guitar4305 · 2024-11-07T10:21:10+00:00

Because feminism has dragged the "overton window" on gender consciousness to the point that is most favourable to them, paints Males as the perennial aggressor/perpatrators.

NonsensePlanet · 2024-11-07T15:34:35+00:00

Holy shit that sub is having an epic meltdown. The hysteria and delusion have reached absurd levels.

Karglenoofus · 2024-11-07T09:53:33+00:00

It sells

Doesnotcarebear · 2024-11-07T22:49:28+00:00

For the same reason r/comics allows blatant racism (even though its plainly stated it is not allowed) so long as it is towards certain groups and not others. Racism towards White Folks is okay since it either "doesn't exist" or it "doesn't count". Sexism toward Men is fine and tolerated on reddit because it "doesn't count".

Mobius_Inverto · 2024-11-08T07:28:57+00:00

and they're shocked Harris lost the votes of so many men

ARX7 · 2024-11-07T19:23:11+00:00

Because the admins public position is that you can't be sexist towards men or racist towards white people. Because they are both majority groups and thus can't experience it ....

stefan00790 · 2024-11-08T01:07:18+00:00

On a serious note , I really am now aware how can alot of men now sympathize and go along the path to watch Andrew Tate and similar type of misogynistic influencers . I mean i get it now . Women are doin it . not Men .

Fer4yn · 2024-11-08T09:33:52+00:00

Double standards aka. "Misandry doesn't exist"* .

Because men are being raised to accept this as *normal in some twisted Stockholm Syndrome fashion and consequently barely anyone protests against it in public.

eli_ashe · 2024-11-07T23:42:49+00:00

this stems from a belief that its impossible to discriminate against a category of people that are not a minority or in danger in some way or another.

that is literally, as ive heard it, the rationale for why reddit doesnt curtail misandry. men definitionally cannot be discriminated against, and therefore, any sort of behavior is allowed against men, hence #killallmen is perfectly fine rhetoric and even deeply held belief.

at the most generous of interpretations of the rationale, it supposedly has to do with systemic issues. hence sure, individuals may discriminate against men, individuals can say horrible and regretful things about men, but overall there cannot possibly be something like misandry. it is just literally impossible.

this is why so many people can not only look the other way on the matter, but delusionally deny the existence of misandry even when it is staring at them directly. even if it is done en masse. even if they themselves are doing it, supporting it, and so on.

for them, its an impossibility, just cant exist.

this goes hand in hand with patriarchal realism.

this is also why dudes not so enthused bout the dems atm.

pacsatonifil · 2024-11-08T01:20:37+00:00

Because misandry is normalized and despite men being 50% of the victims of domestic abuse no one takes them seriously because women are the weaker sex or some bs. It’s disgusting honestly we live in a fucked up world, but I hope we can make a change slowly

Former_Range_1730 · 2024-11-08T04:52:17+00:00

I think you know why. Reddit is run by, either directly or indirectly, people who hate straight men, and really, hate straight women as a result of hating straight men.

I just got out of a woman's sub where to my surprise, straight women where viciously defending themselves from lesbians who think they are dumb for liking men. Lol, it seems Trump's win is finally getting straight women to stand up for themselves, and defend their relationships with men.

morallyagnostic · 2024-11-07T18:02:03+00:00

Because reddit's policies forbid posts that could lead to violence and hate against historically marginalized groups. Since men don't fit that definition, it's fair game.

Amon-and-The-Fool · 2024-11-07T20:16:29+00:00

People need to start reporting all bigoted comments when they see one for hate. Annoy them into doing something.

Rocky_Vigoda · 2024-11-08T02:06:33+00:00

Because reddit is owned by billionaires.

All this gender warfare stuff is used to divide people into teams and make everyone hate each other.

Excellent_Type1679 · 2024-11-08T04:07:42+00:00

We really need to talk about the radicalization of young women because that ultimately contributes to the misandry

iiRiDiKii · 2024-11-09T07:37:46+00:00

I think it's as simple as the same reason why there's not as many safety nets and the like for men.

Compared to women, men are overlooked and their issues are not seen as important.

ChemistryFederal6387 · 2024-11-09T09:38:22+00:00

They are hypocrites, they don't oppose bigotry, as long as they agree with it.

IntrepidDifference84 · 2024-11-07T12:32:35+00:00

Its because a really long time ago women were treated bad and now we have to pay the price.

xennoni · 2024-11-07T09:59:19+00:00

Just out of curiosity, which sub is it?

send_bombs · 2024-11-07T19:44:55+00:00

Any attempts at shutting down discourse is a slippery slope, even when that discourse is vile and hateful. First, giving any group authority to decide what conversations are allowed, and which ones are not, are certainly not going to go in favor of the minority party(in this case male advocates). Second, if people don’t talk about their biases they will never be challenged, and thus perpetuate the behavior. Let’s not fall into the same authoritarian practices of those who hate us.

Motanul_Negru · 2024-11-10T04:58:20+00:00

This is hardly particular to Reddit. All discussion about politics and other broader human issues, online and offline, is almost entirely taken up by two reprehensible extremes: misandry and fascism.

Sardemanation · 2024-11-11T18:51:24+00:00

Rules for thee but not for me

Excellent_You5494 · 2024-11-08T01:28:23+00:00

Because they have over 10 million users.

MemeMasterBill · 2024-11-08T00:00:55+00:00

Can you send me some posts that are examples of this? I haven't really witnessed them on larger subs myself
