  • That’s what a lot of this comes down to. Loneliness. Disconnection. No sense of value or direction. And then someone online tells you it’s not your fault, it’s women’s fault, or society’s fault, or anyone but you. That stuff spreads fast because it gives people something to belong to.

    Yep, and this is how marginalised communities are formed. Same with the text below.

    And is why both POV are bad and should be removed from Lemmy. The owners of such communities get off on having their own army, not that they think they're helping the cause.

  • we should change our own environments so that they don’t feel the need anymore to have their own space.

    "we" unequivocally means "men", right? And how is this done... by preventing exclusive communities and only having inclusive communities. "Online" and "safe spaces" are oxymorons.

  • Women: it's all about us, we have our own "online safe spaces" where only women are allowed because in history, men were bad to women, It's filled with vitriolic chronically-online women where we go around calling men "cunts". Men should respect this and start up their own community if they want.

    Men:

    <they do that>

    . It's given a derogatory name so public opinion can be manipulated - marketing 101.

    Women: We don't like it. It's not all about us, men are bad to us. They threaten equality - it's all their fault.

    I got banned from two communities on Lemmy recently asking if it really should be host to communities that are exclusionary based on protected characteristics such as gender (to stop extremism). Lots of women moaned and were vitriolically abusive - how dare I call their army out. Community hosts really need to get a grip on such things and encourage inclusionary communities, not exclusionary. Whilst this practice goes on, racist/sexist/other extremist opinions will be fostered on the host and in those communities.

    Politics such as "yeah, well, populist opinion makes us feel like we need to separate ourselves from you because you're not

    <insert protected characteristic we only like>

    ..." but we totally respect you and want to talk to you as normal in other communities when we want to, is incongruent to the whole concept of an inclusive community that fosters equality such as Lemmy should be.

    (And if I had to guess, I think there are some bots on Lemmy also spouting vitriolic replies to stir up such hatred amogst these who isolate themselves - making themselves prime targets for manipulation - all to stir up chaos on a national level)

  • But read, learn, understand what? Do you really think the problem you claim women need the space is because (presumably men, the alleged oppressors) don't "understand" women and if only they'd take time to read and understand women it would all be ok?

  • So many "marginalised" women throwing insults around like candy. Maybe these people feel they're marginalised because they already hate men and men avoid them?

    You miss the point. A "positive men's space on Lemmy" would explicitly ban women. not "hate speech". Maybe you seem like a bit of a dunce?

  • I would agree with you but I don't think women are marginalised in my society. They may feel as if they are though because they're generally told they are. I will accept Muslim women are but most who I know actually accept being told what to do and not do and the abuse they receive. Less of the personal insults, huh?

  • You're going to make an amazing, beautiful mother.

    Your vitriol makes you sound really bitter and hateful towards men. Groups like what I'm talking about strengthen your existing sexist opinions and make them more extreme, and in your mind, this hatred becomes normalised that you post things like the above.

    You have just proven why exclusive groups like this are bad for communities.

    (Though the entire response reads very gen-AI-ish)

  • Isn't this racism?

  • Under pre-ISAF taliban the literacy rate was about 15% and at the time of withdrawal it was almost 40%.

    The biggest red flag of this post, to me, is the use of the word Afghani. Any time someone says it with an ‘i’ at the end, you know they don’t know what they are talking about. Afghani is a currency, Afghan is a person.

    Correlation is not causation, right?
