The comments here make me very disappointed in our little corner of the internet. If anyone wants this but doesn’t know how, neither do I but I’d be happy help.

I am disappointed but not surprised. The attitude of men here reminds me a lot of default subs in Reddit. People tend to be more civil, but there is so much "but what about men?" when talking about women's issues or belittling women still. Business as usual on the Internet, but I can see why it would cause women to avoid Lemmy.

I haven't been back to Reddit, but it makes me miss the small niches where I didn't see that as often.

I've said it many times before and I'll say it again, gender relations here are worse than they were on reddit when I stopped using it.

i wonder if it's not just worse on lemmy, but gotten worse over time, with the manosphere shit and all it's relevant problems, neither feminism nor the manosphere, or traditional male gender role has really addressed this issue comprehensively, and we're starting to see pushback from this issue in real life now, men are enrolling into college less than women, they do worse in most environments, and also are generally worse when it comes to mental health.

I wonder if we just need like a dedicated "social issues space" where people can talk about this stuff.
