I really hope that doesn't turn out to be the case. I'm hoping the people of this site have the sense to see that both sexes have problems and are able to discuss them in a civil manner. I got really, really tired of reddit's "women can do no wrong, men are evil" mentality and came here to escape being called an asshole every time I say men can get raped, too.
To be fair, you did take a condescending tone toward other posters with at least three of your comments in that page. I'm not entirely sure that you got downvoted for the actual content of those in particular.
Yeah, I'm kind of on the fence there. Feminists claim that having a men's rights movement is redundant because feminism is all about equal rights, so they're for men's rights, too. Men's issues are so different, though. Dealing with female rape doesn't solve male rape, because women are raped by acquaintances and men get raped in prison. Dealing with violence against women doesn't help violence against men, because most anti-female violence is domestic and most anti-male violence is non-domestic.
Sorry, hope I didn't derail the thread too much. X-D
Both movements have really good issues that we'd all like to see addressed. But for some reason, they care more about slinging shit at each other for internet points than doing anything that might actually benefit their causes.

"reddit's 'women can do no wrong, men are evil' mentality"
That....is very, very different than my experience...
It depends on your particular blend of subs. Both exist on reddit.
You know what I'm tired of seeing? reddit attacking an article in which a feminist argues for a balance between rights for men and women because in their opinion the author clearly hates women. This is the sort of conversation I really don't want to see come to snapzu.
Pro-tip: if you can't see my comments it's because they've been downvoted below the viewing threshold.
