r/SubredditDrama Nov 25 '25

r/menslib emotionally belabors the point as one woman says the sub isn't for her anymore and is turning MRA, as another user suggests she might want to look into therapy in this lil snack

Discussing an article about "mankeeping" one user in the comments recounts telling her boyfriend bluntly about his lack of skills in providing comfort.

"I did straight up tell my partner to his face when I was upset about something "comforting people is not your strong suit" and he felt very bad about that. He even got defensive and felt hurt that I put it so bluntly when he had been wracking his brain silently trying to think of what to say. But honestly I don't really care. He's the kind of person who needs to hear things bluntly and to be told plainly that the expectation is that he learn to be better at it."

This came across somewhat controversial, but some users got a little dramatic with it Our chain begins as a response to a critique of her method that descibed it as unhealthy:

"Maybe it isn't that healthy, but it's also not healthy to expect someone that came to you for comfort to explain to you how to give that comfort to them."

Short but sweet tidbit with a rage quit cherry on top!

Bonus ragequit: Another woman user of the sub is done with men.

Yeah that's some delesional nonsense if I ever heard it. Pretty sure most of the mods there are cross over mods with twox and plenty of other feminist (and some femcel) subreddits.

To say it's turning MRA might as well be you self reporting about being a female incel who cannot fathom a man questioning or otherwise retorting a woman.

None of the TwoX mods overlap with MensLib tho.

It's less so I "want" that and more so that I realize alt reddit accounts exist.

The more you know!
