Feminist community admits they downvote and attack posters when they refer to their S/O as "my wife" because they assume the poster is male. They realize there is a problem with this, but only because it may discriminate against lesbians.

The greatest source of misogyny is feminism as an ideology, it’s really that simple.

When one realises this, a lot more things make sense. Because yes, whilst misogyny mirrors misandry and vice versa, for feminism to be accurate in its theories of reality it needs to assign evil to men and an utter lack of agency to women.

Now she's getting a glimpse of what it's like to be a man on Reddit. Normally mistreatment like this would create empathy in a well-adjusted person, the fact that it doesn't clearly shows the type of people who frequent feminist subs.

Pretty funny. Lays bare how blatant misandry is on that sub. (Which btw, is not a sub for activists, but for women generally.)

I thought that, when I turned to reddit for relationship advice, it be smarter to flip the roles. But instead of getting roasted, this just means I'm coddled and pandered to. Either way the advice is terrible.

Ah yes.
"Men get opressed. Women most affected".
I mean, sure, I get why a man on a lesbian only sub wouldn't be welcome, but damn, imagine thinking that everyone who says "my wife" on a lesbian sub is a MAN. Kinda weird,isn't it?

I knew how your title would end before I got to it. They have no idea how ridiculous they look.

OldEgalitarianMRA · 2022-02-05T15:11:35+00:00

They want a woman only space on a public server. That is how strong their in group bias is. I see fairness here, taking in of both sides. In the end equality not female equity will win out.

It’s why the trans community is great for this aspect. It really binds feminist up because they either slander women who are now men or men who are now women?

This have nothing to do with if you agree with the trans movement only that it’s advantages to men because women who transition see what we deal with or men who transition to women can pressure some of that privilege.

Oh yeah, but feminists don't hate men. Feminism is about equality. Those manhating people aren't reaaaaaal feminints.

Can you link to the said post?

While she may not feel she needs to out herself she needs to clarify. Like I’m here and I have a husband. I’m a man. I don’t get downvoted though so maybe there is some dislike for male posters, but if the sub is for women then I don’t see a problem. It would be nice if men were allowed the same. To have spaces just for men.

Samurai-Andy · 2022-02-06T08:22:32+00:00

"feminist community" downvote and "attack many things"... If they didn't do this we'd stop calling them feminists and start calling them out Lesbian's... Thank you, this has been my ted talk

Vanriel · 2022-02-06T13:29:17+00:00

Regardless of how they react, congratulations on your marriage and I wish you both the best of luck going forward.

The highly-upvoted post in question:

This has 335 comments on it and 31 upvotes.

That's INCREDIBLY low in terms of upvotes.

Did you feel lying would make your post more credible?

Internalized misogyny is a real thing even with feminists. Real feminists believe in equality and not being judged for your gender.
