Lots of sensitive susans in the comments. If you don't like it block it and move on. There's too many people on lemmy that want to dictate what everyone can and can't see rather than moderating what they themselves see.
Apparently that's the misogynistic one, based on a whole series of posts on the front page at the moment and the hundreds of gross comments that have followed.
I don't get what's up with people nowadays throwing up the adjective "misogynistic" everywhere, when 80% of the time they're really not seeing something misogynistic, but rather some ideologically conservative crap.
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.
How is recommending someone to not interact with a post they don't like because you don't like a different opinion anything but being a sensitive Susan yourself?
I didn't tell you to do or not do anything. I'm criticizing you for doing the very thing you criticized someone else for doing. Also you don't follow your own advice of downvote and move on.

Lemmy is a pretty bad echo chamber at the moment. Here it seems like there’s only ever one right opinion.

conservative ideology is misogynistic
Sexism is not misogyny.

why the fuck you going around on the internet telling people what they can and can't do.
They didn't tell you to or not to do anything, you should reread what they wrote.

PREACH
what the hell are you even talking about? nobody is calling for this post to be removed. criticism isn't censorship.
That's hypocritical. If you can't take it then don't dish it. Calling out obviously bad greentext is part of this community.
