Just this week alone I came across several threads, where various women made posts specifically aimed at men - how we do not like them, how, actually, we only have romantic feelings towards other men and have never ever loved women, how we only want to "break them down" and "control them". The cherry on the top was when a thread with subject "I know "not all men" are bad, but it really feels like half, if not more than that, are." gained thousands of upvotes and comments.

I understand that, maybe, this kind of posts are justing venting and have no actual purpose beyond frustration relief. Still, they further spread the gap between men and women. At the very least, they are plainly wrong and are deeply offensive to me, as a man. I am not going to act like the posts are completely devoid of any truth, however, as much as there is truth in them, there is also so much generalisation and resentment towards men. Most of all, there is no point to them - it is just complaining and circlejerking.

And since they are posted in the TwoXChromosomes, they are not only celebrated and supported by other women, but if you share another opinion you would get banned, like me, without any explanation. Members can talk whatever they want about men and they won't get called out, because it is the "women's perspective". It is one of the few subreddits, where it is generally accepted to be a shitty human being at the expense of other people and nobody can touch you in any way.

To get why I am so upset - I love my wife, she is my partner and best friend in the whole World. She changed my life, my point of view and how I perceive the World. I believe that I did the same for her. I continuously try to make her feel comfortable, appreciated and loved in any situation. We take all of our decisions together - both of us state what they want and we try to find a common ground. While people broke up, because they could not communicate between each other, we resolved so many differences and learned to live with each other in harmony, despite having completely different personalities. We lean on each other and confide in each other our most treasured desires and deepest concerns. It is bond of respect, mutual understanding and care for each other.

And this text right here is not only insulting, but also completely untrue and it is integral to the frustration most men feel about feminism:

"All or almost all of that which pertains to love, most straight men reserve exclusively for other men. The people whom they admire, respect, adore, revere, honor, whom they imitate, idolize, and form profound attachments to, whom they are willing to teach and from whom they are willing to learn, and whose respect, admiration, recognition, honor, reverence and love they desire... those are, overwhelmingly, other men. In their relations with women, what passes for respect is kindness, generosity or paternalism; what passes for honor is removal to the pedestal. From women they want devotion, service and sex."

How can a person be okay with a statement like the above one, which demoralises and degrades not only him, but spits on his relationships? Also, I can say the same thing about women and, actually, the way women do not share their most intimate moments with their partners, but with their girlfriends, I will be more than justified in doing so. However, I will be branded as incel or misogynist. Why is it okay for women to insult men, mock us, villainous us and do whatever they want, but somehow when we offer a different opinion, it is us, who are wrong?

But most important of all - why are there subreddits, which support this behaviour without any outcry or response?
