Or at least from my experience, anyway

2018-12-13 07:56:49 UTC  

depends on how many feminists you get to deal with I think because it is mostly the extreme end of those

2018-12-13 07:57:06 UTC  

also UwU is best username

2018-12-13 07:57:48 UTC  

a lot of the time honestly you just get blocked or banned from feminist spaces you didnt really frequent anyway, so not that big a deal in that way

2018-12-13 07:58:10 UTC  

Liars, there are no womenz on teh interwebz

2018-12-13 07:58:22 UTC  

sorry I forgot.

2018-12-13 07:58:23 UTC  

xD

2018-12-13 08:16:03 UTC  

Discord seems neet. Kind of like using irc cloud

2018-12-13 09:20:10 UTC  

I actually reached out to a person who had been asking questions on the men's right sub and had a reasonable discussion. One of the first things she said was how she was surprised we weren't a bunch of raving misogynists and were generally nice.

2018-12-13 09:20:45 UTC  

I mean duuuh. But it's sad that that's the perception

2018-12-13 09:22:13 UTC  

You're right it is sad. Misogynist, racist, Nazi. These terms are all thrown around now without regard to their actual meaning. They are just used as insults against people one disagrees with.

2018-12-13 09:55:13 UTC  

Imo the definition of “racist” or “sexist” has been changed on the internet

2018-12-13 09:57:07 UTC  

Even dictionary definitions say 'typically toward/of women' when it comes to sexism

Yeah you're right even the disctionaries are getting pc

2018-12-13 17:23:57 UTC  

Afaik they've been that way for a long time

2018-12-13 18:22:55 UTC  

Did you see the sesame Street meme someone jsut posted?

2018-12-13 18:22:58 UTC  

Just*

2018-12-13 18:24:03 UTC  

Briefly, it would be better as an article and not a meme. I'm falling asleep rn

2018-12-13 18:26:20 UTC  

I like sleeping. It is nice.

2018-12-13 20:29:56 UTC  

@Abbysol I think the reason is they see you as a traitor, and internalized mahogany is their patch to cover the fact you are putting the lie to what they say.

2018-12-13 20:30:58 UTC  

@InsaneCaterpilla Yeah, I've noticed that for years. It's worse though. Keep track of every charity leaflet you get and look at the pictures in them. Literally 90% women and the women always get featured most prominently

2018-12-13 20:31:29 UTC  

I wish I could scan some to make a compilation but they tend to be all odd shapes.

2018-12-13 20:32:17 UTC  

I've got one from Sightsavers on my desk about the trachoma infection.

2018-12-13 20:32:51 UTC  

People are pulling out their eyelashes with twesers because the infection makes them grow inward.

2018-12-13 20:34:00 UTC  

Wow

2018-12-13 20:35:01 UTC  

Judging by this leaflet, this is one sexist infection - it only affects girls. They literally have a pair of tweezers on a necklace and it says "It's what all the girls are wearing these days"

2018-12-13 20:35:31 UTC  

Man that sucks

2018-12-13 20:35:41 UTC  

I wonder why it would prefer girls

2018-12-13 20:35:59 UTC  

It doesn't, that's the thing

2018-12-13 20:39:32 UTC  

Correction - it is said to affect women more, due to increased contact with children.

2018-12-13 20:41:06 UTC  

Ah ok

2018-12-13 20:43:01 UTC  

However, that's adult women

2018-12-13 20:43:23 UTC  

The leaflet focuses on young girls - and there is no difference at that age.

2018-12-13 20:43:41 UTC  

So it's still neglecting boys. 😛

2018-12-13 20:44:56 UTC  

Apparently adult women are affected four times as much as men - however, that doesn't tell us if there are more women than men.

2018-12-13 20:44:59 UTC  

I don't understand all of that believe women stuff

2018-12-13 20:45:46 UTC  

It's kind of an emotional apeal

2018-12-13 20:46:00 UTC  

We have an instinct to protect women, and that sidelines men.
