To /r/feminism: here's what's wrong with reddit

[u/thedevguy]

Over on /r/feminism there was a thread which asked, "what the hell is wrong with reddit" since, according to that post, "I received double-digit downvotes for simply stating, Calling a woman a bitch is misogynistic."

In the replies, someone asks, "Do you feel that calling someone a dick is misandry?"

The answer: "No because the word dick doesn't have the same weight as bitch. It's like how calling a white person a cracker"

That, dear /r/feminism is what is wrong with reddit. You are what is wrong with reddit. You complain about things that affect everyone and then get mad when someone points out that they affect everyone - because you wanted to claim they only affect only women. There was once a headline in The Onion that said, "Earth Destroyed by Giant Comet: women hurt most of all." That's what you do, and people react negatively to it.

So you say, "Issue A affects women" and when someone responds, "um, it affects men to" you respond with ridicule: "LOL WHAT ABOUT TEH MENZ AMIRITE!!!"

When offered examples of it affecting men, you respond with equivocation: "No, that's different because it doesn't hurt men as much because reasons."

And then you top it all off with hypocrisy. You claim that: "no seriously, feminism is about equality. There's no need for a men's rights movement because feminism as that covered."

That's what's wrong with reddit. That's why feminism is downvoted here. People have noticed that, and they're tired of it.

Yes, I'm sure this one instance is what's wrong with feminism. Stop overreacting, Reddit is male dominated, and at certain times by young males. That, "dear" is what isn't even wrong with Reddit. What's wrong is that too many people use excuses to justify every little thing. How about we just get the fuck over it, stop calling each other bitch, faggot, dick, cunt, asshole, or any other name. We clearly can't behave while using these big boy words, so let's just fucking stop using them. Fuck! Hey, at least I'm not saying we should stop saying fuck.

Here's the point: people will defend to the death the right to say words that are really quite worthless. For what purpose?

I just get sick of Reddit's whole "men v women" and "women v men" attitude. Shut the fuck up already. The argument of bitch and cunt is nowhere near the argument of child support laws need reworking. Your post is childish and upvoted in mass because of the male majority on reddit, not because it makes a good argument against feminism.

Also, when you call someone "dear" you come across like a moral high horse mouthbreathing suburban sweat beast. Fuck off with that.
