misogyny, as defined by webster, is "hatred of, aversion to, or prejudice against women." we use the term to make it clear that this contempt and prejudice is against women specifically.

conservative ideology seeks to actively harm women who dare be anything more than servants to men. to have contempt for a group of people unless they're effectively enslaved is to have contempt for that group in general.

you're getting downvoted but you're fucking correct.

this place is becoming just like reddit in that people dig up any sort of injustices they can find (or fabricate) toward men and then incorrectly blame it on feminists and women without so much as a citation. hateful misconceptions then spread like wildfire because these guys just take anything that re-affirms their biases at face value without any critical thought.

seeing pushback against stupid-ass opinions is the exact opposite of an echo chamber, but it would be an echo chamber if everyone was just agreeing with the post.

what the hell are you even talking about? nobody is calling for this post to be removed. criticism isn't censorship.

No, having an account won't give you insight, but what I'm getting at is that most of us are here to get away from the glaring flaws of corporate social media. Obviously I want as many people as possible to join the Fediverse, and I don't see how advocating for or at the very least normalizing more the exact kind of corporate-controlled platforms that drove most of us here is going to help that.

What's with Lemmy users doing free advertising for corporate social media like this? You're already here, so you should know better, right?
