Misandry isn't real (hexbear.net)

You'd have to be willfully ignorant of context, history and systemic power dynamics to think misandry is a threat to men in the same way misogyny is a threat to... well, everyone.

I haven't seen people use the word "misandry" since my days on ShitRedditSays a decade ago, is it coming back?

If so can we bring back calling them shitlords?

[-] Midnight_Pearl@hexbear.net 6 points 4 days ago

it never left on reddit-logo unfortunately, and if anything has become way more prevalent now that the site is constantly being astroturfed by MRA concern trolls posting about the "male loneliness crisis" and how women are somehow responsible for it. that kinda shit gets to the front page pretty regularly and all the accounts that post it are extremely sus/outright bots

Too many of them liked being called that and/or used it for baiting posts, usually in the "check your privilege, shitlord" format to get chuds excited.

I can't blame some men for believing in misandry. The social sciences are often neglected and it's easy to misdiagnose a situation if you have a shitty boss and not the vocabulary and knowledge to pull up bell hooks to point out yet even more products of the patriarchy.

Misandry is real in the same sense that the "paint all mountain chickadees neon green" political movement is real. You could probably find someone who believes in painting small birds, but there is no institutional backing nor widespread support for it. Someone complaining about misandry has comparable validity to one complaining about those coming with paint buckets for their birds.

Honest question how do people feel about the concept of "military aged male" and its application

[-] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 2 points 4 days ago

A patriarchal society being both misogynist (women can't fight) and classist (send the poors to be cannon fodder)

Reminder that women have fought in every war and their contributions always go largely ignored. British women who fought in WW2 against the Nazis found that when they wear their medals in veteran parades, they are often subject to idiots screaming at them that they're "wearing their fathers medals on the wrong side" the idea that the medals are their own doesn't even compute.

It should be real though

[-] FungiDebord@hexbear.net 5 points 4 days ago

Really makes you think!

Misandry and cis-phobia exists specifically within the context of hexbear though. I know because you never upbear my posts. smuglord

90 comments. Oh no. Edit: Nevermind, this has actually been mostly good discussion and jokes and not a bug-light for incels like I feared.

[-] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 2 points 3 days ago

The was one before by someone else that was more of a buglight, this one was just to catch stragglers

[-] DamarcusArt@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 3 days ago

Was that the c/trans thread? I saw the modlogs. Some really gross stuff there.

[-] kristina@hexbear.net 2 points 3 days ago

the police state of traa had impeccable response times in our most trying hour 07

[-] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 2 points 3 days ago

Yea. Pretty disappointing stuff, but at least it gave us the opportunity to purge them. The mods seem like they want to improve the situation which is good.
