So in this thread:

https://np.reddit.com/r/worldnews/comments/12pqecd/scientists_discover_new_gene_that_can_temporarily/

The original article linked to a discovery of an important gene for sperm, and that targeting the product from this gene could lead the way to a new reversible birth control pill for men.

A solid third of the comments were good and technical, they were relevant and on topic.

A third ish of comments were just general internet tomfoolery.

A solid third of the comments however were abysmally misandrist and fucked up. Feel free to trawl through my own replies to see examples of what's going on in there.

Of course now the mods deleted the post, and the thread might get nuked as well, you never know.

Point being, misandry is alive and well, but there's nobody willing to call it out and point it out. There was an unbelievable amount of blatantly sexist posts that would never have been allowed if it was about literally any other group than men. Thankfully those comments tended to be downvoted but holy fuck the amount of bullshit there.

It's funny too because some postulated the misandrist and hateful comments must come from TERFs or femcels, but I just saw the exact same generic feminist crap you can see in literally any feminist subreddit. Feminism still apparently has a good reputation, because too many users thought that clearly no pure angelic feminist would ever dare to say anything negative or hurtful about men.

So yeah, it's 1 AM, I was mildly triggered by this, decided to try and smack some sense into people or at the very least call out their hypocrisy and misandry. Hopefully I managed to knock some sense into people but I have no idea.

Other than that I just wanted to share it with all you people on here, see what your thoughts were.

Also not sure what to flair this as, since it can be about health, about feminism, about discrimination, or social issues. If it's the wrong flair feel free to tell me.

Anyhoo it's 1 AM and I gotta work tomorrow, peace.
