The reverse of this has been what's been dominating for a decade. Anything pro-men (or even just neutral) can be accused of being anti-woman, which creates a chilling effect as female-dominated HR departments can make life very difficult for men looking to provide for their families.
- ml-anon 11mo agoDiscrimination along protected attributes such as gender would be highly illegal though, so no doubt you’d have tons of evidence to present beyond “gossipy HR ladies”.
- philipallstar 11mo agoI didn't mention gossip at all. Are you pretending to quote something I never said, to just perfectly illustrate the bad faith nonsense that is ever-injected into even simple conversations about this topic? It might be worth Googling James Damore as an early example of this chilling effect.
- ml-anon 11mo agook so no evidence of highly illegal mass gender based discrimination.
- lelanthran 11mo ago> ok so no evidence of highly illegal mass gender based discrimination. This seems like a very roundabout way of saying there was no evidence of discrimination against women :-/ Where are you going with this? Because if "no evidence == did not happen", then that's true for the decades prior to the 90s, right?
- oulipo2 11mo agoAbsolutely untrue. Feminism has NEVER been against men. Only people who half-ass reading about feminism, and rely too much on stupid far-right videos on TikTok believe that
- CalRobert 11mo agoUmmm… https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SCUM_Manifesto https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SCUM_Manifesto seems pretty overtly against men. (It’s literally the society for cutting up men)
- oulipo2 11mo agothis is literally a handpicked "misandrist manifesto". This is absolutely not about feminism.
- CalRobert 11mo agoYou said “never”. I agree that in general it’s a positive force but I think it’s insincere to claim that there has never been an anti man angle to some feminist writing.
- OKRainbowKid 11mo agoAnd that's representative of feminism as a whole how exactly?
- akimbostrawman 11mo agoFeminist quoting Wikipedia to prove something is like a christian quoting the bible.
- vacuity 11mo agoTo be fair, no one person or even group defines "feminism", or "masculinity", or anything of the sort. It's a big cafeteria, and there's a lot of food to be flung around.
