A subreddit devoted to recognizing and correcting toxic femininity

If this sub takes off, be prepared for it to be "cleansed" in the next round of the purge.

In other words, you want the "Women Being Bad" posts put where the sun don't shine.

So we cede the argument that 'toxic masculinity' is not a thing?

Because talking about 'toxic feminity' does just that. It legitimises a bad argument used against men, by accepting the premise of that argument.

Why not direct people to /r/pussyPass? Why link to, why refer people to, why legitimise a sub that does something we complain about as MRAs?

Because it's pointing to the bad actions of a single WOMAN and claiming that action indicts ALL women, as if that's better because it's simply inverting a dishonest feminist tactic?

Yes, feminists, you CAN smear ALL men with the bullshit actions of a few AND absolve womankind of any criticism by naming certain bad actions as 'toxic masculinity'. /s

Toxic Masculinity - Mansplaining - Manspreading - Male Privilege - Patriarchy

These anti-male slogans are all the same thing. They are all designed to promote anti-male stereotypes and anti-male emotions.

If you want to marginalize and dis-empower a group in society, the first step is to get people willing to accept that. You need to make people think negative things about men, so that when it is time to move against men & boys, the ground work is already done. This is not some genius idea. It has been done many times through history.

Let me give an example:

From Smithsonian Magazine: "What’s more, Nazi ideology held that Jews were particularly wealthy citizens of Germany, despite the reality that the majority of Jewish families fell somewhere in the middle class"

Modern Equivalent: "Male Privilege" & "White Privilege" The modern ideology is that men and Whites are particularly wealthy. This promotes envy and a sense of unfairness.

All of this is a careful propaganda campaign promoted by feminists in alliance with the far left.

In future, please use r/Toxic_Femininity for posts about "Women Being Bad" unless they include a specific instance of discrimination against men.

Another rule narrowing the scope of discussion. There will be uncertainty, and legalistic-style arguments, about the exact meaning of include a specific instance of discrimination against men. For example, a post about a woman getting a lenient sentence for a bad crime: would this be rejected? Would it still be rejected if that same item were to be accompanied by another, but otherwise unconnected, item about a man getting a more severe sentence?

I see in the comments:

Yes, it's a terrible idea. It's promoted by one, perhaps two, feminist mods in this sub who are playing the entryism long game, it started happening a few years ago.

If "entryism" is in fact going on, then you would expect the scope of discussion to be narrowed even further in the future. From which we could perhaps deduce the existence of a pressure being applied, always in the same direction.

Male_Positive · 2019-01-29T16:22:18+00:00

This is a very very bad idea! We are against the ideology of feminism, which promotes a battle between genders. We are not against women. We play into feminist hands if we join their gender battle. Instead we must show that gender prejudice is wrong.

cmtenten · 2019-01-29T18:24:24+00:00

Ah, the slow feminist entryism of the sub continues right to plan.

Well played, u/goodmod, well played. This will be r/MensLib2 / r/Feminism3 in no time.

FuckingPrawns · 2019-01-29T14:18:36+00:00

This isn't something I think we should be promoting. A lot of us here hate the term "toxic masculinity". It seems somewhat hypocritical to do a tit for tat attack by behaving in the same sexist way that they are.

Mens-Advocate · 2019-01-30T01:27:06+00:00

I agree with /u/goodmod, /u/stakesishigh012 and /u/iSUREdoLIKEpeas that it's now necessary to "fight fire with fire". A "toxic femininity" subreddit is worthwhile (especially after the P&G-Gillette advert).

We'll see how it does.

However, many coming to /r/MensRights may not be aware of the toxic femininity subreddit. For that reason and more, any rule should not be too rigid, splintering our energy.

I'm glad for this change.

I have self assessed. I don’t agree this is a tribalism thing. You do? No problem. You go do you.
