Ask Lemmy

I won't defend the OP because he's surely just an embarrassing attention seeker, but in return I'll say that you can't really say that there isn't misandry out there, especially on the leftist side of Lemmy, just as you can't say that there isn't a black swan out there (i.e. the induction problem), and in fact there are a lot of misandric women, and you can't just rationalize it as a "valid reaction to centuries of oppression" because it's a genetic fallacy. (where someone is held responsible for something they were not involved in because they were born much later, just because they are a descendant of that group).

Speaking as a man: Stop white knighting my gender.

We don't need your protection or worry.

Women making jokes on our expense does not hurt us.

More subs than that one. There be some zealous motherfuckers lurking around these fora.

Hey OP, just wanted to pop in to see how your attempt to garner support for your shitass take on an online space that isn’t meant for you was going.

Yup. Pretty much what I thought.

I checked out their feed since I figured I must have missed a big burst of bad content, but I don't see anything misandrist. I see a few posts critical of certain men, but even that's the minority of content.

Even going through comments I see only a healthy amount of misandry. I don't see any organizing of violence against all men, or even normalizing of it.

If you're feeling triggered by the things you see in a space meant for an oppressed class to vent then I think you're just too sensitive.

But do I tag this user as "troll" or "misogynist"?

Can you link a few examples?

If you don't identify as a woman, it doesn't matter whatever the fuck is going on in there because it clearly says it's not about you.
Until they start brigading other communities I see no reason why men should even care, let alone actively engage.

I haven't noticed a prevalence of that there. Checking it just now I can't find a single example of misandry. Maybe you are just misreading the vibe.

Yeah talking about what we would pair with a sweater or talking about our Monday motivations or supporting DKP’s garden adventures is total misandry. You got us.
