I noticed, but I was taught to take note of the things that people joke about and the /s below a statement doesn't make it without meaning. The mocking of what every reddit MRA is automatically going to say came loud and clear, but in their hyperbolic implication that men have no issues (or none worth mentioning), they've shot over the mark into the technical definition of misandry. This doesn't get to be Schroedinger's Patriarchy, that isn't how feminism works. Downplaying it is why none of them go to therapy, though.
Idk if that's how they actually see things or not. It was obviously written out of frustration, which is why I'm chalking it down to One Of Those Days. I scrolled past it twice before deciding to say something, because it really did feel out of left field and that kind of generalized malice just makes things worse.
Some guy who was already having a shit time is going to read that and it has to make them tired at best. At worst, less likely to take actual issues seriously when they're just implicitly insulted out of the gate before anyone even said anything. Spite is wrong, but that doesn't make people less spiteful and they remember how you make them feel.
I really wanna get as far away from Reddit Culture as possible, to be honest, which I know is a losing battle when we all came from Reddit but I gotta have some hopes up or the universe will be out of a hobby
Edit: in the spirit of not being reddit, I am appreciating how many took the time to explain /s instead of jumping aaaaall the way down my throat like I expected
Well thank god we have someone to explain to us paint licking morons that men have problems too, we couldn't possibly know that
Lmao, I knew all your comments were gonna look like that. Your blood pressure's really gonna come back to bite you
