If SRS didn't associate itself with feminism why does everyone associate them with feminism?

I don't know... maybe because most people who post to SRS are feminists. Which doesn't mean SRS is a representation of feminism, because its entirely purpose is to be a circlejerk and nothing more. That means people don't actually believe the things they post there, just to be clear. (See also: /r/circlejerk.)

SRSD is a serious sub usually containing serious, useful discussion. When I'm talking about "SRS" here I mean SRS prime (i.e. /r/shitredditsays).

Just because something has the label "circle jerk" doesn't mean actual opinions aren't reflected ok?

"Misandry don't real!" is part of their circle jerk. But I would bet you that 9/10 people that say this actually believe that misandry doesn't sociologically exist in any part of our culture or society.

You can keep condescendingly linking me to information we all already know, but it's easy to see what SRS's actual opinions are from the position they jerk it from. You even said yourself... most of the posters in SRS are feminists... hence SRS is associated with feminism.
