Okay…I completely understand bashing men (I do it nearly every day), but I wonder if our collective online bashing turns away any would-be allies? I wonder if we’re expecting too much from them, like how yt allies are expected to hate on yts too 🙇🏾‍♀️?

I just feel like it may be a bit reductive to expect them to accept and/or internalize self-hatred to show their allyship. Like instead of seeking equality, we are trying to flip the power dynamic. Does that make sense?

the men who get it, get it. i’ve never met a man who is truly respectful and supportive of women who gets personally offended by men getting bashed especially online. i’ve made posts complaining about specific types of men and men come in to start defending men when i never said anywhere in my post that it was all men, which tells me that the ppl getting offended are the exact type of man who deserves to get bashed respectfully.

They’ll never understand this, and society will never progress because of it. I appreciate you for realizing though.

I feel like it causes backlash, similar to the “white pride” shit we’re seeing now (I think the BLM apologists were the last straw lmao). Men will likely (if not already) retaliate for perceived misandry. Feels counter-productive. Equal and opposite reaction type shit

The only time we react negatively to a post is when it’s disrespectful or sexual lmao. Do you want us to not react that way to nasty posts on here?? Bc it seems like that’s what you are asking of us

See this is the problem, you post on a community meant for questions and if you don’t get the response you wanted you call it “jumping” or “bashing”. There’s a difference between disagreeing and bashing dude

I am a woman who has already witnessed how this convo can go down bc it is a touchy subject. I’m not a man complaining about being bashed. Key words and emojis could’ve told you that hun

So again I will ask you to clarify your point. Do you want us to not be negative towards these men who ask degrading sexual questions?? You want us to tolerate the sexism? Bc that’s what it seems like, if not please clarify

I think you aren’t understanding my point. You think I’m complaining about bashing men on this app specifically when I’m talking in GENERAL. I’m talking about how we’re approaching feminism ? Not how we’re approaching yik yak posts

Yeah you quoting a post about “will I be jumped if I ask this question” kinda makes it seem like you are talking about bashing men on this app specifically this community lmao. You gotta clarify babe, thanks 😅
