WOMEN ONLY COMMUNITY MEN PLEASE DO NOT COMMENT*
It's something I've seen thrown at women a fair bit. Feminazi, stripping men's rights, feminism has gone too far blah blah. Has anyone ever accused you of it? And any women said this to you?
I got accused of that once for simply saying I didn't feel welcome on Lemmy as a woman.
Actually, that's putting it lightly. What they said was a multi paragraph tirade attempting to trigger every trauma I had or might have explicitly because they thought "unwelcome" was still too welcome and, again explicitly stated by them, they thought women should suffer.
To be fair, they were downvoted to hell then banned for what they said, but in the same thread somebody accused me of being too extreme because I said I support job fairs for women, and they were very much the opposite of downvoted.
It seems to mostly be isolated to online spaces though. I bring up these "extremist" feminist topics IRL and people act like it was so obvious I didn't even need to say it, even men.
That kind of attitude is so common here, unfortunately. "Nerd" and tech cultures are rampantly misogynistic, but they all seem in denial about it, including on lemmy
Oh they're definitely not in denial if you're talking to someone who actually works in them professionally...as usual it's the snotty cohort of the fans
"but where are the men's job fairs, huh? Typical woman, wanting more rights than men and getting more support."
It's so draining to reclaim my own space in a man's world some days.
Yep the manosphere really doesn't want us to have any help or support, or even verbalise that we'd like that
