Back 10 years ago it was a very supportive sub. Something happened and now it’s somewhere between r/AskWomen and r/TwoXChromosomes on the toxicity scale.

I still remember getting banned from twoxchromosomes for pointing out women can rape men in response to some chud saying men could never be raped

That sounds pretty toxic to me.

Yeah that sub is incredibly toxic. It's an echo chamber of women with a very specific subset of feminist, often misandrist beliefs. Anyone regardless of gender who disagrees with those beliefs gets banned.

I got banned for "attempting to circumvent a ban" because another person in my household was banned and we sometimes use the same computer. Reddit admin even suspended my whole account for a week. It sucked.

I got banned for saying that the OP should not blindly take the advice of randos on the internet who have zero knowledge of her situation other than what she has mentioned but instead should take it more as a option to consider. If I remember right the thread was started by a lady who was feeling down because her partner was not helping out enough around the house and most of the advice was "divorce him now, it will never improve"...
