View submission: R/Askmen discusses getting swarmed by women

Men aren’t allowed to have places free from women.

Something that hasn’t been true for all of human history.

And, speaking of Reddit, I'm in several women-focused subs, and we get men commenting in them all the time.

I wish I had a dollar for all the "not all men" replies when a woman shares a negative experience she's had with a man.

The only "man" subs I'm on are bropill and menslib. And I tend to keep my mouth shut and actually listen when the male posters are discussing their issues.

Also with reddit, most subreddits are male spaces by default because the majority of users are male.

This is why there is a subreddit explicitely for women who play videogames, but there isn't one explicitely for male gamers.

Maybe I don't get the context so I'm taking it literally but...do they know the men's bathroom exists?

I mean, there are some spaces that are male dominated, like gaming, but it��s treated as a bad thing and companies are working hard to try to get more women into it. Meanwhile reading has become a solidly women dominated hobby and nobody cares. About 80% of readers are women, if you go into a Barnes and noble it’s very much meant to appeal to women primarily.

And there’s nothing wrong with that. Just interesting to see the contrast.
