You'd have to be willfully ignorant of context, history and systemic power dynamics to think misandry is a threat to men in the same way misogyny is a threat to... well, everyone.

      The easiest way to weed out any form of reactionary sentiment is to call out that kind of sentiment and then bring the hammer down. We've seen this in earlier purges like the pronoun struggles, you can observe the same thing every time in any space where somebody brings up a topic reactionaries find "controversial". People with the views that are called out will feel offended and double down, and it's always in really obvious, blatantly mask off ways. When i've seen misogyny on this site before, it was usually a lot more vague and between the lines, now we have posters outright saying chud shit like

      examples from the mod log

      "misandrist drivel" or "women who are free to date who they want are an existential threat to me" or "nonbinary people can't be lesbians".

        women who are free to date who they want are an existential threat

        Didn't the creep who said this, found in the modlog, whine that his life was somewhere between Gattaca and... I forgot what else but it was just screaming Main Character Syndrome with Jordan Peterson characteristics? kombucha-disgust

          Well he also seems to like the DDR, except for the part where women were financially secure when they divorced their husbands.

      The incelivitis was always there, the "outbreak" came from people calling it out, which causes them to out themselves.

      The men on this site were never okay, tbh. We’ve been complaining about the misogyny problem on the trans mega for months, and I’m sure it was a problem before I came here too.
