    this thread is quickly becoming just the usual whinging from the bigoted MRA types that hate all women.

    Where, exactly? Is pointing out men have issues that get ignored (by women and men alike) equal to hating women? Because in 200+ comments i’ve seen maybe 3 or 4 actually hating on women.

      One of the top comments is all about calling feminists “shitbags”, as just one example.

        True feminism is absolutely fine, as true feminism would be for such a shelter existing. Feminism is about equality between the sexes.

        In this case “feminists” didn’t like this. So, yeah, fuck those “feminists”.

        This is the only comment in the thread with the word “shitbag”. And there is only one upvoted top comment who even mentions feminists, saying “There is a lot (of) feminism that really just amounts to men-hating”. Coincidentally, from a trans girl praising a woman.

        Really, I don’t get where those “bigoted MRA types that hate all women” are supposed to be in this thread.

          It’s weird that I have to inform you on how Lemmy/Kbin comment sections work, but when they get long enough, multiple pages of comments are made. They aren’t all viewable on the same page.

          Look for the second (or more) page buttons at the bottom. It might blow your mind.

          You’re looking for a top level comment by Binthinkin, by the way.

            Oh, you mean the comment that got removed by mods, doesn’t show up in the thread, and is at a -24 score looking at it from their profile? Modlog shows it’s been removed 2 days ago so it wasn’t even up when you started commenting. Not sure how did you even find it, definitely not just by “looking at the second page”.

            But absolutely, this thread is a setup and one removed and heavily downvoted comment out of 200+ is definitely proof.

            EDIT: I see you’re from kbin so I’m guessing it was a federation error not syncing the mod action. Still, unless kbin doesn’t show downvotes, it should be pretty clear it was far from a popular opinion anyway.

                I can’t see that without a kbin account. This is how it shows up in Lemmy instances. If the difference is so big and it’s a federation issue as well there has to be some manipulating going on, pretty much every reply to his comment is pointing out how unnecessarily aggressive they were to feminism as a whole.

        Comsidering feminists led the charge to get it shut down, thats a fair claim.
