90% of it is just misandrist bait, and its just an echochamber of misandry.

Locking. Rule 1 - Sealioning!
Same thing with male only spaces. They wouldn’t hang out there if they weren’t sexist.
Yeah talking about what we would pair with a sweater or talking about our Monday motivations or supporting DKP’s garden adventures is total misandry. You got us.
no, bigotry against an entire gender, aka Sexism.
the space itself existing is great, a woman only community.
But the discussions that go on there arent.
Have you seen Lemmy at large? The amount of misogyny that’s laid bare doesn’t bother you, but a couple of shitposts from women make you concerned?
it does.
all types of bigotry bother me.
please dont engage in whataboutism
Nah, I don’t play with men who won’t police other men, but will attack women for the “same” shit.
Stay in your lane.
I will police other men.
Sorry if we don’t just take your word for it. So far, we’ve only you seen you trying to police the ones that hurt your own feelings. If you go on to prove me wrong, I’ll gladly apologize.
Fucking doubt.
What are you on about? Do we have to discuss sexism against men when discussing sexism against women every time? I personally dont think so. Sexism can happen to either gender and we can discuss both without touching on the problems of the opposing sex.
This guy is trying to have a discussion on a problem and you shove it aside by completely unjustified assumptions about the poster.
It’s not a real problem! He’s fucking lying about what the community actually is!
And you’re just fucking believing him. Shocker.
How is it not a real problem if women are being sexist? I am not claiming that all women are, and I am not claiming that every woman in said community is, but there is some form and amount of sexism present and I think this is an issue.
I like it that when someone on the Fediverse post sexist shit against women in the of “women bad” it almost always gets called out, this is great. The same thing should happen on posts about “men bad” (again, I am not claiming it does not happen currently, hard to judge because such posts are seen much less frequent).
What I would have liked to see in this thread is: “hey, there are some people in this community posting sexist shit, this is not okay.”, the same way you would see in a discussion about an incel forum (again, here for clarification, I am not claiming that womensstuff is a femcel forum). What i see tough in this thread is that sexism against men is not called out similarly as sexism against women.
Speaking as a man: Stop white knighting my gender.
We don’t need your protection or worry.
Women making jokes on our expense does not hurt us.
Edit to include IF it’s an echo chamber of misandry. Who cares, let em vent. If they dedicated a space for it, leave em to it.
Nothing bad has ever happened from letting bigotry run rampant on an online space controlled by people who encourages bigotry
Is a wild take in 2026…
Like, I don’t even know if OP is talking about reddit or somewhere here that I’ve had blocked for so long I forgot it exists
But if you really cant see an issue with echochambers of bigotry and how that’s going to wind up, you really should spend more time listening/reading and less time telling people not to worry about shit.
Not like it’s in the top 100 problems, but it’s still a problem. And the good thing about society is not everyone has to be worried about the same shit.
fun fact. If incels and femcels had sex with each other, maybe they chill. But then again it kind of kills the point of their sub culture.
Womensstuff isn’t a femcel community.
I’d much prefer they air their thoughts out in the open than wonder who is what. If you’re a racist, I’d like you to be able to say racist shit so I know to avoid you. If someone posts bigoted shit frequently I now know that their opinion holds less weight on the subject they are biased towards.
So…
Completely ignorant about how groups based on bigotry recruits?
Again, stop just fucking guessing and ask questions if you want to have learn things.
But you’re gonna have to find someone else to ask, or more likely just keep doing what you’re doing. But at least I won’t have to see it till you create a new account to spam from.
Yeah we have a fundamental disagreement in how people should be allowed to exist. Thats okay.
Y’know I had a lot more respect for you before I read this comment.
The casual sexism allowed to proliferate on Lemmy is totally fine and dandy, but a single community for women is misandrist? Laughable.
misandry is sexism
and im not concerned with the space, but with the things being posted
Trying to police what women talk about amongst ourselves?
You think it’s your place to tell us how to build our community? The ONLY community on Lemmy** that’s only for women? Our safe space?
Ooooo my bad, I’ve never looked at the community I have no idea. I swore I wrote If at the beginning of my statement. Gonna make an edit. Its a womens only space, why would I go there. I do believe everything else is wrote though.
Thanks for the clarification.
I still don’t consider women’s spaces inherently misandrist. It’s telling that there are some men in here who feel that way. Says way more about them and their insecurities than anything we’re doing in that community.
Talking about the struggles we face as women shouldn’t automatically make y’all so fucking defensive.
Misandry does not exist.
Louder for the back!
Misandry isn’t the reverse of misogyny. There’s no anti-men power structures being kept in place by women, there isn’t women-dominated governments stripping men of their rights, there’s no systemic violence against men perpetuated by women in power.
There are certainly individuals that hate men, but misandry simply doesn’t exist the same way misogyny does.
Thank you for your comment.
You’ve mistaken misogyny/misandry with patriarcy/matriarchy.
Misandry is by definition the hatred of, distrust of, or prejudice against men, as misogyny is the same against women.
You’ve mistaken institutional sexism with individual sexism.
As I said previously, individuals can be misandrist.
misandry isnt the reverse of misogyny
Except it is
You’re ignoring all the context in that paragraph.
“Doesn’t exist” is a weird way of saying “it’s not as prevalent as the other thing”.
It doesn’t exist the way misogyny does. They’re not equivalent.
Lorena and Aileen. 💜 Yeah. I’m that individual.
Good for you 💕
If you don’t identify as a woman, it doesn’t matter whatever the fuck is going on in there because it clearly says it’s not about you.
Until they start brigading other communities I see no reason why men should even care, let alone actively engage.First let me start by saying that I don’t think this is the case for this community because the “examples” of misandry OP shared are clearly not misandryc, but:
If you don’t identify as a woman, it doesn’t matter whatever the fuck is going on in there because it clearly says it’s not about you.
That’s a problematic logic, imagine a community of white supremacists saying “If you’re not white it doesn’t matter what we do here, because it’s clearly not about you” and you’ll understand why.
Yeah but nah because one is a choice and one isn’t. As a white man I wouldn’t feel comfortable commenting my opinions on any other ethnicity’s problems either.
