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.

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

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.

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

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

Yeah you're right even the disctionaries are getting pc

Afaik they've been that way for a long time

Did you see the sesame Street meme someone jsut posted?

Just*

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

I like sleeping. It is nice.

@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.

@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

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

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

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

Wow

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"

Man that sucks

I wonder why it would prefer girls

It doesn't, that's the thing

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

Ah ok

However, that's adult women

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

So it's still neglecting boys. 😛

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

I don't understand all of that believe women stuff

It's kind of an emotional apeal

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

But sometimes they make up fakse accusations

They do. It's another kind of emotional appeal

Shouldn't we side with caution and believe the accused until they are proven guilty?

We need total fairness in courts.

But we don't seem to get that

Correction: I misread you

Sorry

We need to side with neither
