TrollX is a place women go to relax. Some of them are what you would judge to be misandrists. They are not interested in your judgement, nor in disputing your arguments. If a man wants to have an argument about feminism TrollX is not the place to do it.

In my opinion there is sometimes genuine misandry there, and it disappoints me that it is not called out as often as it should be. But as a guest I am not going to kick the hive.
In general, for a man to make criticisms on feminist issues on a feminist site is a delicate business. I do it, but I know a lot more about feminism than most guys. I do it a lot more in person because online there is such a high risk of triggering a hive defense.
Often when men turn up to a feminist site and start criticising they are just told to fuck off or are banned because nobody has the energy to offer personalised tuition to the hundredth twit to turn up and expect an audience for his uninformed views. What men don't understand when they get that abrupt response is just how many guys have preceded them, saying exactly the same things, and soon dropping any initial politeness to reveal hostility. People just get tired of that.

Wow... so, a place where women can go and hate men... yeah, that sounds like a good idea.

No, it isn't. Not if you truly believe in equality.

A man, having issues with feminism... has uninformed views?

You have a very gendered view of behavior. It's a very very sexist view, and deeply troubling.

You are the sort of guy who gets banned there on his first visit.

Coming into a sub set up by women for women and claiming "equality" makes it ok for you to Just Ask Questions and throw a tantrum if people can't be bothered talking to you - why would they want to listen to that? They don't want to know about your misunderstanding of free speech and equality. If you have a good enough understanding of feminism to discuss it intelligently you can do so but only if your manners are up to the standard they require. The sidebar is a partial guide but as with other subs you have to just lurk for a while to see what behaviour is accepted.

When the subject comes up, what women say about TrollX is that guys like you are part of what makes the sub great. Your absence, that is.

If you enjoy the company of women, you need to learn how to behave acceptably in each environment you would like to interact with them in.
Some environments are just not going to be a good fit for you, so you don't get to participate there.

Your permission is not required. Women who hate men would naturally want a place to meet like-minded folk and be undisturbed. You don't get to burst in and wreck the cosy atmosphere.

As someone who has hung out mostly with women for the last 40 years, including with a few strongly feminist women, I can tell you very few women or feminists hate men in general. A lot of women hate specific attitudes and behaviours that some men have.
