90% of it is just misandrist bait, and its just an echochamber of misandry.

If you don’t identify as a woman, it doesn’t matter whatever the fuck is going on in there because it clearly says it’s not about you.
Until they start brigading other communities I see no reason why men should even care, let alone actively engage.I checked out their feed since I figured I must have missed a big burst of bad content, but I don’t see anything misandrist. I see a few posts critical of certain men, but even that’s the minority of content.
Even going through comments I see only a healthy amount of misandry. I don’t see any organizing of violence against all men, or even normalizing of it.
If you’re feeling triggered by the things you see in a space meant for an oppressed class to vent then I think you’re just too sensitive.
it is a class struggle, not a gendered one. I hope you guys realize that.
You should chime in on the ASK thread I posted earlier today, I’d be curious to hear your opinion.
Speaking as a man: Stop white knighting my gender.
We don’t need your protection or worry.
Women making jokes on our expense does not hurt us.
But do I tag this user as “troll” or “misogynist”?

Yeah talking about what we would pair with a sweater or talking about our Monday motivations or supporting DKP’s garden adventures is total misandry. You got us.
no, bigotry against an entire gender, aka Sexism.
the space itself existing is great, a woman only community.
But the discussions that go on there arent.
What made you focus on this in particular?
Have you seen Lemmy at large? The amount of misogyny that’s laid bare doesn’t bother you, but a couple of shitposts from women make you concerned?
it does.
all types of bigotry bother me.
please dont engage in whataboutism
Nah, I don’t play with men who won’t police other men, but will attack women for the “same” shit.
Stay in your lane.
What are you on about? Do we have to discuss sexism against men when discussing sexism against women every time? I personally dont think so. Sexism can happen to either gender and we can discuss both without touching on the problems of the opposing sex.
This guy is trying to have a discussion on a problem and you shove it aside by completely unjustified assumptions about the poster.
It’s not a real problem! He’s fucking lying about what the community actually is!
And you’re just fucking believing him. Shocker.
I will police other men.
Sorry if we don’t just take your word for it. So far, we’ve only you seen you trying to police the ones that hurt your own feelings. If you go on to prove me wrong, I’ll gladly apologize.
Fucking doubt.
I haven’t noticed a prevalence of that there. Checking it just now I can’t find a single example of misandry. Maybe you are just misreading the vibe.
maybe post some examples of what you find distasteful, OP?
He wouldn’t be able to misrepresent what that community actually is about if he did that.
man vs bear gender war garbage
and what man has been alive for centuries? you talking to nosferatu?
There’s a distinct difference between hateful rhetoric and good natured blowing off a little steam, and the examples you give are very clearly in the latter category. I take no offense at these posts because I know that the sort of men they are talking about very much do exist, and I also know I’m not one of them. It’s ok they didn’t add an addendum remembering that other sorts of men exist; not everything has to be about me.
Also, by taking offense at these posts, you are literally acting out the the second one right now. Got to appreciate the irony of it.
Edit: I forgot to say, the “for centuries” bit is obviously referring to it being ingrained into our cultures.
I don’t see these as genuine misandry I see them as jokes used to cope with a shitty world state. I post a ton of memes with similar intent. I’m curious to see if you have examples of genuine blatantly anti men content that has zero intent of humor.
Lighten up, dude.
Is comedy illegal now? We can’t laugh about choosing the bear?
You found two shitposts. Congrats. Thanks for ignoring the majority of the content that’s actually there.
Don’t you see? Men are so HURT by the bear thing! You just have to choose the man! Come on da lil bear is so scawwy, how could you possibly choose that?
Do you think it irks them so much because it’s true, and they can’t admit it? It’s like every time they bring it up it proves the point. Insane.
This bear thing is so funny. I’m a man and I’d rather encounter a bear in the woods than a stranger man.
You can learn how to prevent or protect yourself from bear attacks in a 4-hour training.
With a stranger, you have no idea how he’ll react.
the actual essence of the community and the thoughts and ideas are reflected not in your posts but in your ideologies

Very impressive that you can divine the essence of a community, not reflected in posts, just by reading a bunch of posts and making assumptions about them. That’s a neat trick.
Don’t you see that a gathering of women without male escorts is expressly forbidden on Lemmy?
We can’t be trusted on our own apparently.
the posts, replies, etc
the reasoning, circular, etc.
Let’s see you bring this energy to any of the multiple shitposting communities that are majority male.
Let women have our spaces. It’s the only community that’s ours. Women are allowed to be upset about how men at large treat us, how they rape and beat us, how men laugh at our genitals, our hobbies, our passions.
We’re allowed to talk about our lives.
theres no mensstuff community, but I do call out sexist content when I see it, be it misogynistic or misandrist.
Frankly, this reads in the same way as All Lives Matter arguments. The default for most online spaces is male. You went and found one of the only comms where that isn’t the case and got offended that it didn’t cater to you, then cherry picked a few shitposts/joke posts to support your misogynism.
Also, there actually are communities for “men’s stuff” like dullmensclub.
That’s because the men’s stuff community is all of the other parts of the fediverse.
women are allowed. and I doubt its mostly men either.
Echo chambers be echo chambers.
Edit to include IF it’s an echo chamber of misandry. Who cares, let em vent. If they dedicated a space for it, leave em to it.
Nothing bad has ever happened from letting bigotry run rampant on an online space controlled by people who encourages bigotry
Is a wild take in 2026…
Like, I don’t even know if OP is talking about reddit or somewhere here that I’ve had blocked for so long I forgot it exists
But if you really cant see an issue with echochambers of bigotry and how that’s going to wind up, you really should spend more time listening/reading and less time telling people not to worry about shit.
Not like it’s in the top 100 problems, but it’s still a problem. And the good thing about society is not everyone has to be worried about the same shit.
fun fact. If incels and femcels had sex with each other, maybe they chill. But then again it kind of kills the point of their sub culture.
Womensstuff isn’t a femcel community.
I’d much prefer they air their thoughts out in the open than wonder who is what. If you’re a racist, I’d like you to be able to say racist shit so I know to avoid you. If someone posts bigoted shit frequently I now know that their opinion holds less weight on the subject they are biased towards.
So…
Completely ignorant about how groups based on bigotry recruits?
Again, stop just fucking guessing and ask questions if you want to have learn things.
But you’re gonna have to find someone else to ask, or more likely just keep doing what you’re doing. But at least I won’t have to see it till you create a new account to spam from.
Yeah we have a fundamental disagreement in how people should be allowed to exist. Thats okay.
Y’know I had a lot more respect for you before I read this comment.
The casual sexism allowed to proliferate on Lemmy is totally fine and dandy, but a single community for women is misandrist? Laughable.
Ooooo my bad, I’ve never looked at the community I have no idea. I swore I wrote If at the beginning of my statement. Gonna make an edit. Its a womens only space, why would I go there. I do believe everything else is wrote though.
Thanks for the clarification.
I still don’t consider women’s spaces inherently misandrist. It’s telling that there are some men in here who feel that way. Says way more about them and their insecurities than anything we’re doing in that community.
Talking about the struggles we face as women shouldn’t automatically make y’all so fucking defensive.
Yeah, you haven’t said anything I disagree with.
I’m saying it out loud for the whole fucking class here.
misandry is sexism
and im not concerned with the space, but with the things being posted
Trying to police what women talk about amongst ourselves?
You think it’s your place to tell us how to build our community? The ONLY community on Lemmy** that’s only for women? Our safe space?
im no police officer but I think the basic rules of civility and rules against bigotry should be followed by everyone, both men and women
It’s telling that instead of trying to push back on the obvious and pervasive misogyny on this site, you’re attacking women.
im not attacking women
im attacking misandry
You’re misrepresenting what an entire community actually entails and trying to destroy it.
Why is women gathering together threatening to you?
reddit?
Fucking autocorrect. Lemmy**
