View submission: R/Askmen discusses getting swarmed by women

View parent comment

Every single men's focused sub that I have seen has been a cesspit of toxicity with complete lack of self-awareness.

It's so awful for a while that I thought it was all some kind of weird Russian PsyOp, until I realized, that no, there are actually men that stupid in real life. The Venn diagram of them and extreme conservative supporters also seem to be pretty similar, surprise surprise.

And please note, when I call them stupid, I'm speaking as a dude in the infatry. We're not exactly the smartest bunch, and we certainly think with our dicks first. But those guys... yikes.

r/bropill is great, proper support and doesn’t actually exclude anyone. Everyone is a bro.

If what I see in the online game space is any indication, most men just genuinely don't like women. They want to have sex with them, but they don't actually like them.

Edit: for further clarity, I'm not just talking about your call of duty lobbies. I play online role-playing games, and my characters are in dad guilds, and these are married fathers that I'm talking about in a lot of cases.

They usually start off with good intentions and get steamrolled by incels, misogynists and homophobia pretty quick.

Have you tried the 'MensLib' subreddit? They're not a fundamentalist rabbit hole posing as a supportive brotherhood.

/r/menslib has men discussing male specific challenges without blaming everything on women

Right.  Whereas the women-only subs are...*not* all or most of those things.

Deranged, angry, hurtful, etc.

It happens the exact same way in the women’s focused subs too.
