    EDIT: Look at the responses to this comment for the proof.

    100%

    It’s really bad and lemmy is really in denial.

    Sexism here is much worse than it was on Reddit.

    It feels like 2008 Reddit here sexism wise, except instead of Ron Paul libertarians tooting their horns everywhere we have heavy tracked vehicle enthusiasts.

    I did hope lemmy having a left leaning culture would help but it does not.

    Try making any post that focuses on situations uniquely or disproportionally experienced by women and you get mostly “everyone has that why think about women” or “what about men” or “men have it worst” responses.

      that’s kind of just how controversial things are on the internet though.

      Evens shitposting from men will get similar responses from women, it’s just how it is now. Sort of always has been.

        THIS. EXACTY THIS RIGHT HERE. THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I MEAN.

        Me: talks about issue disproportionately affecting women.

        Lemmy User: It’s not really about women. Everyone suffers from this.
