View submission: R/Askmen discusses getting swarmed by women
I don't comment on that sub because I'd rather avoid being brigaded by incels, but the sub pops up on my feed now and then and the questions are almost always some "why do women do x" question and the top comments are sometimes reasonable and sometimes "because they're bitches who think we should read their minds and who will call you a loser if you cry in front of them." and it's like woahhh there what? This is upvoted... and very angry... and not my experience as a woman at all.
While i personally would never put myself through the headache of pointing out when a man in his feelings is wrong, I can see how someone would see the blatantly wrong interpretations of women's behaviour and feel the need to go "now wait that's not why this usually happens". I've thought that so many times but I know what will happen if i try to correct them when they're in their zone lmao.
I'm sure the reverse happens in women's subs too but for anyone wondering why they're so heavily moderated compared to the men's subs, it's because the men don't get rape threats in their dms for debating with women in comment sections. Unfortunately lads, some of your brethren ruined it for the rest of you by being absolute sickos that made it so bad, women spaces needed to be moderated to avoid it, and sometimes it still doesn't help.
You can frankly either deal with it or make your own heavily modded subreddit. Or ig you could just keep bitching about women and acting like twoX is the pinnacle of sexism and division, then in the same breath make 3 posts per second generalising women, without a hint of irony or self awareness.

why do women do x"
Why would you ask a group of men what women's motivations and thoughts are. Men aren't equipped to answer that.
Ask men should be "why do men do x" type questions.

The “they want us to read their minds” thing is atrocious. No, we’ve said not to do the thing you’re doing 3 times and now want you to ‘read our mind’ and assume we don’t like it by using your damn pattern-recognizing brain

Exactly. You can see my screenshots here [1] of the DMs I woke up to this morning from some angry men. (Trigger warning). I doubt this is happening on the AskMen subreddit.

I honestly thought I was being trolled when someone told me the people at TwoX are raging misandrist.

That’s the purpose of these subreddits circlejerks to confirm your shitty idea about the other gender being the ultimate evil due to in this subs case ignorance and stupidity with a nice mix of woman not wanting to be with them. or in TwoX case plain ignorance and stupidity.
