Am I imagining things or is it getting worse here. Every single time we post something a poster will immediately pop up and hijack the thread with a pro-men agenda instead of actually contributing to the thread.

Please tell me if you agree. I can't possibly be the only one who thinks this.

@CakeInAJar I'm tired now. You don't seem to understand anything I have said. Being a woman and presenting oneself as a sex object for the male gaze are completely different things. One is what you are, the other is a set of gender roles and stereotypes. The Magdalene laundries were a woman only environment, so all abuse there was perpetrated by women. Women are LESS violent generally, because they don't have the opportunity to be. Like all humans, they CAN be in certain situations where they have power over a more vulnerable group. Just like men. But, while it's been interesting talking to you, and your abusive insults have been touching, I need to sleep now. I'm quite happy to disagree with you and respect your right to have different views. Good night.

The Magdalene laundries was a horrific situation and an example of women being extremely cruel.
However, for every one example of women being cruel, there are hundreds examples of men.
Why do you think women are only less violent because they don't have opportunities? Why don't they have opportunities?

I've been here twenty years and always been someone who defends the rights of anybody to post here.

In the past, there used to be a fair few men posting who were just regular people. There would be a flurry of silly "oh my god, a man!" when some posters realised they'd been talking to someone with a penis but beyond that, it was all just pretty normal.

These days, there is absolutely a relatively small number of MRAs, FFJ types who yes, shut down any kind of debate by belittling and verbally abusing any female poster who disagrees with them.

Two in particular are very venomous. I've spent the weekend reporting one- who not only clearly hates women, but hates vulnerable groups in society literally wishing death on them. (he's a fucking loon and I imagine him sitting on his own in front of his computer dressed in camouflage gear thinking he's Ross Kemp)

Another 'splains to the girlz on every thread where a divorce or separation is imminent. All your fault ladies, should be in the kitchen waiting for the man to come home and when you hear his car freshen up and pop the freshly made cake on the table. Relationships threads with women who've been abused have him scattergunning his advice. If only you'd treated your husband better dearie.

Fuck that.

Disgusting

Men want what women have. If they see something women have that they dont, they either try to ruin it or take it.
A strong community of help, support and mostly intelligent women being there for each other and promoting a safe space.
How very dare they. Better get involved and put them in their place.

Are you saying men do not have this? They literally have the rest of the world as their oyster of community. The entire system of patriarchy is there to support and help them as well as make them feel intelligent and superior.
