    I love the femcel memes people. What scares me is if Violet08 finds them, I think together they would be too powerful.

      Oh don’t get me wrong, they’re a fantastic, mutually supportive community. I just didn’t realize what I was walking into at first. It was like entering a club I had no business entering.

        The first time I commented there, I tried to be courteous in the way I usually was on tumblr. People responded kindly, but read a bit confused. I quickly realized that the club was open to all. (Within reason)

        Which is to say, similar experience

    It’s been a few years since I delved into the Reddit side, but the femcel communities here are much nicer places to be than the subreddits. There’s some feeling of independence and empowerment here, whereas the subreddits were always overwhelmed by insufferable idiots. They were truly the female version of terminally online incels.

    Joined Lemmy and was randomly adding communities. Started getting random memes coming through and that’s when I found out what a “bussy” was.

    I stumbled upon a conversation about violence against women on Twitter once. The lady spearheading it was of strong opinions against men. Yes, violence against women is abhorrent, and those responsible should be held accountable. Women have the right to be safe.

    But … she seemed to be blaming every man on Earth, going so far as to call for their eradication.

    I happened to make the innocent (yes, truly, I’d never heard or used the statement before), that ‘not all men’ are like the scumbags who commit violence against women.

    Well … !

    “FUCK OFF WITH YOUR NOT ALL MEN BULLSHIT, YOU MYSOGYNIST TROLL CUNT!” And further robust exclamations and accusations of that nature ensued.

    Educated as to the limitations of my knowledge in this area, I decided to withdraw from the conversation.

      Civil discourse dies on twitter. The algo demands “engagement”.

      Also, the absolute irony of using Elon Musk’s platform to push a progressive or faux-progressive view point.

      The irony being that,

      1. Men are the overwhelming victims of non-reciprocal physically violent domestic violence; being about 71% of the victims.
      2. Even in terms of random assaults by strangers, over 80% of the victims are men.
      3. And finally, even if we look at the big kahuna of cross-gender rape, it turns out that women rape men as frequently as men rape women. It’s just that not only have most men been brainwashed into thinking that men cannot be raped, but that even the FBI did not consider it as rape until 2015 (so no national stats exist before this time), and even now many police precincts have software that hard-codes the victim as female and the perp as male, further corrupting justice.

    Hey I’m a not quite old, straightish, guy and I think femcell memes is great. Sometimes it’s nice to see ladies also being unabashedly thirsty.
