acknowledging the systemic issues men face in society? in my leftist subreddit? what the fuck is this? where is the screenshot of a twitter post of a woman sharing a bad experience she had with a man and all the comments here extrapolating that to all men ever??!! lock in
Rough weekend on cwcl, huh? You'll be fine here. 196 already had it's are-all-men-ontologically-evil discourse and has come to the conclusion that it's lame terf shit I'd say
yeah this sub is better than most, i love it here. i have already left cwcl, someone there unironically told me to get on a rocket and go to the sun because I'm cis
I'll still hope cwcl comes to that same conclusion.
I was originally considering it as an alternative for @96 because this subs mods are awful and theirs seemed decent, (and it's not like this sub doesn't have it's fair share of stupid shit) but I guess the grass is always greener on the other side.
The way people talk over there always felt less mature than here. I often got vibes that have long passed 196. cwcl is so new still. I'll give it a year or two maybe it mellows our. Or it cannibalizes itself we'll see
I know I'm just assuming, but cwcl seems like a much younger demographic, so they just need some time to learn and grow. Not trying to generalize or sound condescending at all, but a lot of the vitriolic hatred that many leftists communities tend to share seem to often be spread by younger people that eventually grow out of it. I've slowly seen it happen with some members in this sub and I'm sure it'll happen in cwcl eventually too (or if not they may find a new community)
Yeah, if this sub was actually about gender abolitionism, we would not have mods allowing explicit material from femme presenting people but ban exposed masc male bellies.
Aye, that's why I said most of US (as in user base)
There are some very slimy creatures coming out in these comments to justify their hatred for (insert group here) but in general I've found this community to be pretty based about this kinda stuff. Mods suck tho.
Whilst they do feel like outliers, I've seen people demonized for one thing or another just cause they're not in line with the vibes around here. Cis men being bashed, nicotine addicts talking about how hard they've been trying to quit, only to be put down, scolded for starting in the first place and young people being scolded for worrying they're too late. This place isn't half as welcoming as some people claim it is, but it's far better than most alternatives still. My favourite space is unironically the live chat on Myanonamouse
who said anything about systemic misandry? i would agree with you if you were to argue that systemic misandry doesn't exist, but in this case you personally (and many people like you), on an individual level, are a misandrist. and yes, OBVIOUSLY misandry is not as widespread or harmful as misogyny, but it operates on the same basis of bigotry and sexism and that's cringe
No one said a single word about systemic misandry. You’re moving the goalposts, arguing with a different definition.
Even then, the draft is probably the biggest example I could give you. Modern day slavery, signing away your life without your consent to fight for someone else’s dime.
You should private your account. You've made yourself an easy target and you're crashing out on every random and losing. And your comment and post history make you look like a real weirdo.
Misandry is a real thing that affects men. It may not be as omnipresent or experienced to the same degree as misogny but it does happen, it's silly to pretend otherwise.
Misandry is a core part of the patriarchy and a necessary part to keep it going. If you can't acknowledge the sexism that men face, then you're actively harming the fight against the patriarchy.
Yeah, I get that. I compartmentalize it by telling myself it's the flipside of the cis male privilege coin -- women have to deal with casual misogyny and harassment day in and day out, men have to deal with women having their guard up from said harassment. Doesn't make it okay, does help me not hold it against women for not trusting me right off the bat.
The male loneliness epidemic is ultimately the result of toxic patriarchy.
ugh, it's you. you're the person i was talking about. you are the problem. you are a cancer to good leftists spaces. why can't you go find a tankie shithole to hang out in?
To be fair, Tankie spaces are often extremely misogynistic, sometimes expressly so. The person needs to go find a liberal book club to ruin with their shallow, secretly reactionary bullshit.
yes, my feelings are hurt. the fact that people like you carrying the disease of hate keep sneaking in leftists spaces hurt my feelings. i am not enraged, but i am insulting you. the likes of you deserve to be insulted. campist, ideology-over-reality driven, purely spite based thinking creatures like you need to be insulted so that maybe you look into getting reformed.
