After two weeks I visited reddit again. Holy shit the misogyny and lack of critical thinking in the comments is something else.
Eternal summer over there

    Misogyny is something I saw a lot of on Reddit over the recent years. it was seemingly often “the norm” in the bigger subreddits.

    I don’t miss it or the constant feeling like I need to argue with a bunch of bad faith people either trolling or genuinely holding horrible views

        “I promise I make up fantasies where I get to punch women because I totally just believe in equal rights and not because of misogyny or anything!” - every time. oh and you’d get downvoted to hell if you pointed this stuff out.

      Heaven forbid TwoXChromosomes not be a default subreddit. I remember when not every OP was badgered so badly in the comments that she had to go back and ETA “not all men” to the post text. Or how women with scathing and accurate insights about the patriarchy didn’t have to always have reddit cares reports filed on their accounts!
