Sure, I see the occasional post on here that's blantantly sexist. I always report it when I see it, rarely do the mods do anything. This sub isn't perfect, more accurately it's not that great in general, but at least we have a much better track record with avoiding sexist behavior than any and all feminism subreddits that exists. I encourage you to prove me wrong on that, I genuinely hope that you can.
As for homophobia and racism, you're just pulling that out of thin air to make us seem as horrible as you possibly can. This sub tackles some pretty sensitive topics, but never have I seen an instance of blatant (or subtle) homophobia or racism on this sub. This sub is generally pretty open, and I find it's very sensitive and open to LGTB+ and Racial issues.
Again, prove me wrong on that. I'd like to echo that this sub isn't perfect, we've got some bad apples among us, but for the most part we call those people out. At the very least, we don't excuse or tolerate blatant sexist behavior by saying "well they're not TRUE Mensrights activists!" because unfortunately they are, and we're handling this the best we can, but we were dealt a shitty hand and are forced to work with what we have.
Was it that video of a YouTube journalist walking around places in Delhi, asking random men what they thought about women dressing up and going to work, asking them about their opinions on rape (I think) and all that - eliciting answers such as "if they dress that way, anyone might feel tempted" ,"they have five-six friends these days, they drink and smoke and roam around late in the night, what do you expect?"? You and I might be thinking of the same video.
If it is, IIRC, it was made and released in the immediate wake of Nirbhaya. I saw the comments under it and my stomach turned at the hate we were getting - felt almost evil. I even typed out a long comment trying to tell them that the video was only showing half truths, cherry-picking people they knew would give them a sensational answer, but decided there was no point.

That's quite a diverse range of thoughts you named there. Are you sure with diversity of thought you don't mean "my ideology"?

The hate is deep.

But still 52% cases are false...
best of luck to prove 48% are false too because 99% cases are false but settled outside the court...
