    EDIT: Look at the responses to this comment for the proof.

    100%

    It’s really bad and lemmy is really in denial.

    Sexism here is much worse than it was on Reddit.

    It feels like 2008 Reddit here sexism wise, except instead of Ron Paul libertarians tooting their horns everywhere we have heavy tracked vehicle enthusiasts.

    I did hope lemmy having a left leaning culture would help but it does not.

    Try making any post that focuses on situations uniquely or disproportionally experienced by women and you get mostly “everyone has that why think about women” or “what about men” or “men have it worst” responses.

        Alas I have been shown to be wrong! If not for my womanly ways I would have been the wiser!

        But the fact that the majority (or perhaps less than half now) of the responses literally prove the point I am trying to make proves my point downvotes or not.

        You have to remember the people who would literally unironically make such a post that proves my post are the densest of the dense.

        Most sexists, while dense, are less dense than a black hole and would not prove my point for me under such a post.

        I mean if you use the Marxist/Leninist definition of left then obviously not. But I mean left leaning in terms of the societal understanding.

      that’s kind of just how controversial things are on the internet though.

      Evens shitposting from men will get similar responses from women, it’s just how it is now. Sort of always has been.

        THIS. EXACTY THIS RIGHT HERE. THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I MEAN.

        Me: talks about issue disproportionately affecting women.

        Lemmy User: It’s not really about women. Everyone suffers from this.

          Lmao look at that douchebag’s comment history. Its arguably worse that than comment itself. God I wish there was a male loneliness epidemic because these fuckers stopped talking.

          yeah bro, it’s the internet, everybody has opinions.

          “yeah so actually i think this is a big problem”

          “yeah evidently it must be a problem, but like, this has always been a problem, and seems to be a consistent problem”

          “YOU’RE LITERALLY THE PROBLEM!!!”

          Lemmy User: It’s not really about women. Everyone suffers from this.

          also to be clear, you are literally straw-manning me here, i’m not saying that “men have to suffer with women having an opinions” nobody cares, it is what it is, i think it’s interesting actually. You’re the one arguing that because people discuss topics that they find personally relevant is somehow “oppressing women”

          I’m not saying you shouldn’t shitpost about that stuff in shitpost threads, by all means do, there’s interesting dialogue in it. I’m just saying this is a common occurrence anywhere on the internet, for any community. Hell go find a community for something as mundane as lego, you’ll find the same shit there.

          Not everybody NEEDS to have their own specific issue that specifically effects them for it to be a valid or real problem. I just think this issue is far broader than most people expect it to be, ironically, i could argue you’re literally behaving the exact same way you claim i am. Because you are, and that’s exactly what’s happening.

          Do i care? No, i don’t it’s the internet do whatever you want.
