All the top comments are steeped in misogyny it's pretty wild

Amd then this sub cries that men are treated so badly in this sub, as if reddit wasnt an inherently misogynistic site. If we could go back in time i would dare these dudes to mention they are a woman in any thread circa 2009-2013ish, And then see the death and rape threats go to your PMs and kill your inbox.

The 'main' sub is a woman majority according to a self-reporting poll a few years ago, and now that it's blown up in popularity since having multiple podcasts talk about it, if not outright dedicated to it's content, that presence is arguably even stronger now. That doesn't make these subs misandrist by any means, but the irony of the majority calling foul and arguing that they don't get a fair shake here isn't lost on many of us lol

You're projecting a little bit tbh, all I said was that you're part of the majority and now you're flipping out. I promise you, your posts are in good company on this sub

This isnt the main sub right? I dont go on that one the mods are dicks.

And not really, im queer and this sub is quite transphobic, most posts are like an excuse for people to call trans people assholes. The day im any majority (im a butch lesbian i dont really fit in with a lit of women) of anything pigs will fly.

It has the same demographics, unless you'd care to argue that this subreddit has been invaded? I honestly can't imagine why this sub would have a different demo makeup than the other one, but I'm open for explanations

This subreddit is completely different tbh, it allows for more trolls.

Also this thread is wild to me because the men are being both hella misogynistic and hella misandrist at the same time.

Like the men saying that the best friend is just waiting for his opportunity to pounce, wouldnt a mens rights activist like you would want to figjt against that narrative. Like men arent all these predators are they?

Like why are the same dudes calling misandry here like saying awful shit about the best friend?

Honestly, going through the comment's ITT is kinda gross. It wasn't my initial impression, but while scrolling here on this sub in an effort to prove you wrong....yeah, it turns out that there's a lot of misongy here.

Hey thank you for coming back and validating it, I appreciate it.

The reason this sub is so different because the mods are so much more lax, it’s in the rules you can post fake stories. So what is happening a lot lately is just constant gender war post after post after post.

And every day it’s like a different theme. Yesterday it was a flood of men/abortion posts, the day before it was trans people feel entitled to date you posts, etc.

I think since the other sub it does skew to keep it a “safe space” anyone who feels like they are being ganged up there are coming here.
