Yep we face it all the time in our group, we get the manosphere making nasty and/or anti trans remarks or passive aggressive trolling. That's why posts like this have to be flagged as women only so they've got no excuse. We're ruthless with the ban button though so its manageable.

It's really sad cos we've had so many incredibly supportive men cheering for or quietly upvoting us. I don't remember reddit being this bad but I think you're right, they stuck to their own areas.

Also the downvotes. I haven't yet seen any other topic that so consistently gets a few downvotes across every community. And by topic, I don't necessarily mean "feminism" or something controversial, it's more like explicitly mentioning women is enough. See also this community.

It's only ever a handful and it's less subtle than comments or messages, but it doesn't really create a welcoming atmosphere. Especially since downvotes are otherwise used quite sparingly in Lemmy on the whole (with some exceptions of course).

I've been getting that too, but I don't think it's misogyny so much as contrarianism. It seems like any opinion has it's detractors around here, this post included. XD

Found it really funny that in a green text meme post that was basically "-want to be a woman -don't have dysphoria" that when someone said they had the same sentiment as OP there was instantly someone in the comments saying they might be trans.... as opposed to, you know, just already being a woman 😂

Last night, I encountered someone complaining that a woman didn't act all calm and reserved in response to flight attendants denying thr stage of pregnancy but that her bf did.

Prick was all like "Well actually, I would reserve judgment without seeing exactly what happened".

God, I hate men.
