Everytime I go on this sub ( I'm a woman), I get talked down by the others. Even on menstruations : one girl didn't use the cup correctly and put that on heavy flow. Having a blood condition, I'm one of those who even get anemia from it. So I know what I talk about. They accused me of never having any period or being a guy.

Everyone is a victim, all the time

In the past something of an unofficial agreement came about that /r/mensrights wouldn't involve itself with XX, and XX would try hard to keep the crossposting and brigading to a minimum. This was long before SRS became big. In all honesty, just leave XX alone if you don't like most of what they post. Yes, it's an echochamber, yes, they manipulate and lie and sockpuppet and play the professional victim. Yes, they turn any thread about how bad an ex boyfriend treated so and so into a general softcore male bashing thread.

We've known all of this for years now and in the end there is nothing to be done about it. /r/mensrights generally doesn't concern itself with how other subreddits conduct themselves. It has been a fruitful position to take as it cuts down on a lot of the influx of trolls. Besides, XX is no where near as bad as other subreddits, believe me on this.

Don't seek out to debate feminists on their own turf. IT. WILL. NEVER. WORK. This is coming from over a decade of experience in this area. Let them come "here" if they want (we always welcome them, whatever their position.).

It sucks that you get more of a voice over your concerns here (where it really doesn't fit in, but there you go) than over on XX, now imagine how a guy might feel when they are reading and see blatantly misandric falsehoods being propagated.

Now you know through experience that "places for women" don't literally mean "a place for women" but actually "a place for people who think the way we do" - The "we" being whoever is charge of said place. Guess who is generally in charge of XX now? I wish everywhere on reddit was as broad base open as /r/mensrights is, but it's a culture that was cultivated here by a lot of consistent and hard work by our mod team and looking back, I'm actually really impressed with it.

I didn't downvote but didn't upvote your submission, it really doesn't belong on this subreddit both because of the long ago understanding and well, it doesn't belong. I still commented because I empathize with your position absolutely.

This has nothing to do with men's rights.
