Literal biggest lie in the universe

I don't see men getting "rip your DMs" on comments of innocuous photos

You just don't see it because the misogyny is so ingrained into reddit

[u/StJohnColtrane → u/IAMNOT_EustaceWinner]

There are entire subreddits devoted to misandry. And the example you gave is not only silly, but nothing compared to what femcels write there.

Anyway, it is not a competition. Sexism should not be a thing, both sides.

You say it's not a competition but you're the one who made it one by saying "there's so much more misandry."

I get what you're saying but you're the one that made it a competition.

[u/StJohnColtrane → u/SpeakerOk1182]

You framed reddit as full of misogyny, not as full of sexism.

[u/SpeakerOk1182 → u/StJohnColtrane]

I'm not the same person that said that, but we all have yellow icons so I can see why you'd think I was.

But those are not mutually exclusive concepts.

They say it's full of misogyny, but that doesn't mean it's not full of sexism. My point is that what you said is what made it a competition. That's all.

Sexism is misogyny. This is something that everyone needs to understand. EVERYONE suffers under the patriarchy. Men being constrained by bullshit standards like having short hair and never wearing certain colors or anything too sparkly etc is because of the patriarchy. Men being told they can’t have any emotions other than anger or self-satisfaction is because of the patriarchy. Women being assumed to be better parents (and by extension, men being given less expectations in parenting, and also by extension, men being praised more for the same parenting behaviors as women are expected to do) is because of the patriarchy. Men being unable to form deep friendships because they were raised never to be vulnerable is because of the patriarchy. Men being lonely and miserable and offing themselves is because of the patriarchy. The patriarchy dictates that men have to meet certain standards to be above women or else they’re wrong and will lose social power. Any actions that men willingly take that knock themselves down a peg is seen as mock-worthy, or even dangerous. Literally look at the way trans women are treated. They are the actual boogey-man in today’s society, along with immigrants, and it’s all because society sees them as men who are betraying manhood. Gay men, too, are threatening to the patriarchy because they dare to step out of that box that it puts men into. Sexism is just misogyny, hands down. It’s not taking the focus away from men by saying exactly HOW men are harmed by the patriarchy, it’s actually getting into the weeds of it and solving the fucking problem, which is that men can’t act like women or else they’re fucked.
