antifeminism kitties manginas men who should not ever be with women ever misogyny MRA neckbeard rights oppressed men penises reddit vaginas

The Men”s Rights subreddit weighs in on the “Why is Reddit So Anti-Woman?” debate.

Over on AskReddit, someone called 478nist has asked a question that has been puzzling a lot of us for some time: “Why is Reddit so anti-women? (outside of r/gonewild anyway).”

I used to think it was just because the large majority of users are men, but it’s not pro-men it’s becoming more and more anti-women.

Outside of the friendzoned crap, any comment that leans towards any kind of talk of womens issues, equal rights etc gets downvoted to hell so it’s not even capable of being discussed. It seems like it’s an US vs THEM mentality more and more. Was it always like this?

The thread that followed is nearly 2000 comments long, so far, and has gotten written up on TheAtlanticWire. The discussion is surprisingly … good? Not perfect — after all, this is Reddit we’re talking about here — but not terrible.

So naturally our friends in the Men’s Rights subreddit are complaining about it.

The legendary AnthonyZarat offers this thought:

MauraLoona, meanwhile, challenges the premise of 478nist’s question, and thereby challenges reality itself:

Legitimateusername also has a problem with Reddit’s alleged surplus of manginas.

Fuckrpolitics_again just goes with some plain old-fashioned misogyny:

The Men’s Rights subreddit, such a reliable generator of self-righteous poop.

People stick “power” on a lot of things (including “power shit” o.O), but i’ve never heard someone use it with “lunch” before.

Thanks very much Kyrie. I try to understand that other people have had parents die, but I’m feeling like it’s only happened to me this week. Now that can’t possibly be true.

iirc ‘power lunch’ is like old-timey corporate speech for a working lunch with a bunch of important people

so… the idea of mikey posting during his ‘power lunch’ not only makes no sense, it once again shows his total inability to talk like someone his own age

I’m so sorry, indifferentsky! *virtual hugs if welcome*

My mother said that losing her parents left her feeling like all the love and protection in the world had disappeared.

Power lunch, hmm. My mental image of Varpole is now this (or maybe it’s his image of himself).

(will the page-breaking cookie be mine?)
