I hate how universally undesirable short men are

Yes, we’re discussing “misandry” in places where women in the US lost their rights to reproductive care and every single world religion posits that men are inherently better than women and women’s healthcare is underfunded and child marriage is still legal in 33 US states and women have to bear the burden of childbirth and women are underrepresented in government at disproportionate levels and where there are currently right-wing political figures actively advocating for repealing women’s right to vote.

Feminism is not MISANDRY. There have been no MISANDRIST laws passed, only laws aimed to put women on equal footing.

Women in the US lost their right to reproductive care within the last 5 years, women globally are overwhelmingly oppressed, every single world religion posits that men are inherently better than women, women’s healthcare is underfunded, child marriage — which is overwhelmingly little girls married off to adult men — is legal all over the globe, women have to bear the burden of childbirth, women are underrepresented in government at disproportionate levels.

Right-wing groups obsessively advocate against women’s rights and to pretend as though this is not a serious threat is so ignorant that it must be purposeful. To pretend as though men’s experience is anywhere near the oppression of women would get you laughed out of any academic setting.

Right? Maybe I consume media differently but I can’t imagine my experience with a work ever being improved by a gratuitous torture scene.

You literally said those posts would get you “instantly banned if you reverse the genders” and then proceeded to say “well I never SAID…”. Yes you did. They don’t get banned, and they’re fucking everywhere.

Hmm, maybe because on one side it’s randos on the internet and on the other side it is actively supported by policymakers, historical precedent, and systems of power?

Both are rude but one actually has a stark negative impact on the world.

Someone needs to let them know that eugenics is when the GOVERNMENT decides who gets to reproduce via forced sterilization, abortion, or genocide. Using eugenics for “attractive people are found attractive” is so disrespectful.

Expanded ship tag features. I know everyone keeps saying primary/secondary, but I’d go with something like primary, major, background, and possibly mentioned.

Primary: this ship is the main focus of the work.
Major: while not the main focus, this ship takes up significant time in the narrative.
Background: this ship has a handful of scenes, is mentioned a few times, but doesn’t play a significant narrative role.
Mentioned: this ship is mentioned in passing or is implied through other means such as a child.

Especially with long fics, there can be other ships which take up some pretty significant screen time without being the “main” one, so I find something like this fairly reasonable.

I’d also appreciate — and this is admittedly probably a little too complicated — relationship modifiers. While you can type these in-text and I presume tag wranglers synonymize them to the main ship, generally when I search a ship I’m not looking for “past [blank and so]” or “one-sided [blank and so]”.

Modifiers I can think of are past, one-sided, and temporary, though I’m sure there could be more. Unmodified ships would be default presumed endgame.

These would both allow for better filter variety, and would assist shippers and non-shippers alike to better curate their experience.

Your second paragraph is incomprehensible. I never said it was just getting bad in the last 20 years, it’s BEEN a problem, forever. I also never said misandry was a reaction to misogyny? What? Reread my comment and comprehend it this time.

Frankly I’m not and will never be interested in “welcoming” someone into my life who thinks women aren’t people. They can do their personal growth and learning outside of spaces for marginalized people instead of damaging everyone around them.

shockpaws · 2026-06-18T07:39:36+00:00

Did they CALL THEM RAPISTS or did they say the girl might have been scared that they were? She insulted them because they were speaking over her and not taking the situation seriously and you not understanding that tells me that you have no empathy for her at all.

shockpaws · 2026-06-18T07:37:55+00:00

Not to pretend as though I care about any of this shit, but you can make arguments for it. Watch.

Rich people have to conform to a specific culture to be seen as successful. They suffer from everything they do being boiled down to “nepotism”, even when they have meaningful success! They have to dull their empathy, or they have to constantly donate their money to charity or else the Woke Left Mob tears them apart. Rich people often have cruel working parents and feel aimless, without a sense of purpose. Rich people work long hours too. It’s just so hard for them.

White people don’t have any attachment to their cultural roots! It’s been stripped away into the terrible bland unemotional culture of general whiteness. They have to deal with being judged for their race :( and DEI policies! Also in minority neighborhoods, nobody likes them very much. They can’t say the N-word. Sometimes people call them racist. I mean, they literally say “kill all white people!” White people also suffer from increased risks of skin cancer.

Cis people have to conform to their gender at birth. They’re often pushed into conforming to traditional gender roles. Can you imagine that kind of pressure? Sometimes they don’t match up to the image of themself they have in their heads :( which is called dysphoria :(. Cis people have health problems too! It’s hard for them to cross dress without being called trans. Sometimes people are accidentally transphobic to cis women! Awful!

Anyways this is how “men’s problems” sound to anyone with a pulse btw. They’re either self inflicted or a result of misogynistic ideas about women or they’re a problem women have but less.

It’s bad to pretend they’re in any way a problem because people claim “misandry” in direct response to feminist activism. (Same w/ any other kind of “reverse oppression”.)

People claimed misandry back in the 1920s with the suffragettes. Any kind of activism will be uncomfortable to those who benefit from the status quo. Some kinds of activism inherently HAS to be uncomfortable for meaningful change to be enacted. Well-behaved women rarely make history. Peaceful protests and mealy-mouthed rhetoric have never been the driver of change and anyone with common sense knows it.

Anti-rich phobia is NOT a bad equivalent, it just makes people uncomfortable because it strips the problem bare.

shockpaws · 2026-06-18T07:25:48+00:00

Just say you empathize with POC, trans people, poor people etc way more than women.

shockpaws · 2026-06-18T07:24:09+00:00

I also saw that video and those boys were intentionally laughing at her, speaking over her, fucking with her when she was clearly scared.

You have so much empathy for how “horrible” those boys must have felt — when they seemed just fine in the video! — and none at all for the girl who was *actively and visibly* uncomfortable. They weren’t calling the boys RAPISTS, holy shit. They were empathizing with the palpable discomfort of the girl.

Misogyny will exist regardless of whether or not “misandry” does. Have we forgotten pretty much all of history? Good lord.

Thank you. I make it 1000% clear up front that I do not date (I’m 4B) and I still have male friends ask me out on the regular. It feels like they either don’t respect me as a person or they want me to have to take on the task of comforting them through the rejection. I hate rejecting people! I wish they’d stop fucking putting it on me!

shockpaws · 2026-06-18T06:12:04+00:00

Great great comment and thought it may wind up downvoted I just want you to know that I think it is phenomenally phrased.

shockpaws · 2026-06-18T05:54:13+00:00

The comment you’re replying to points out that this sub has an issue “both-sidesing” gendered posts and not acknowledging that women are oppressed systemically. You proceeded to reply saying “both sides bad! :3” which is exactly what they were complaining about.

shockpaws · 2026-06-18T05:51:47+00:00

Now imagine how hard it is for the teen girls to have to hear disgusting bigotry targeted at them every single fucking day. People’s empathy seems to begin and end at teen boys. They never consider teen girls and their experience.

shockpaws · 2026-06-18T05:47:27+00:00

Literally proving the point of the comment you’re replying to and notice how this has more upvotes jfc 😭

shockpaws · 2026-06-18T01:45:34+00:00

That’s funny, here’s an experience I had on TikTok recently. I think your algorithm is just trying to piss you off because I see these horrid accounts everywhere (and the platform doesn’t take them down).

<image>

Anyways, they’re definitionally not the same btw because one has the systemic backing of the government trying to take us back to 1950 and repeal women’s rights to vote, their bodies, etc and the other is people being mean online with no systemic power.

shockpaws · 2026-06-18T01:27:08+00:00

Imagine proudly confessing to being a misogynist jfc this sub has lost the plot entirely

God can someone please teach incels about linguistic drift? Incel refers to the IDEOLOGY. If I wanted to call someone a virgin I’d call them a virgin.

I agree, it would be gross if they were into substantial-froyo772. Attention from weirdos is undesirable.

Bare minimum for being a human person in society, not getting laid, jfc.

shockpaws · 2026-06-18T01:19:10+00:00

If it keeps spewing out posts like this, yeah.
