  • To add more context to your second example (woah now I’M on TV soypoint-2), the removed comment that prompted me to call that user an incel said:

    I don’t do [patriarchy denialism], I’m saying that using the excuse of patriarchy every time you want to push the blame off women is stupid. Women are responsible for their dating choices.

    This struck me as straight up incel ideology, they’re basically saying “the reason biphobia exists is because those FEMOIDS only want to date CHAD”, so I responded in kind by calling them what they sounded exactly like.

  • Thanks for your thoughts comrade, the kind of space you’re describing is exactly what I want /c/menby to be. The main worry I have is that the messiness of working through mutual patriarchal brainworms doesn’t interfere with making the site a safe and welcoming environment for marginalized comrades. I’ve been thinking about how to strike a good balance and I feel the simplest thing we can do is just relentlessly interrogate and rebuke patriarchal attitudes anywhere and everywhere we see them on the site, no matter how small they might seem. If people can be helped to listen and change in a genuinely constructive way that leaves everyone the better off for it, that’s ideal.
