Women who hate men: a comparative analysis across extremist Reddit communities

  • >he phenomenon of misandry remains a relatively underexplored and insufficiently acknowledged facet of the researched digital landscape.

    This is intentional. It's more than 'enabling' or 'normalization' it's attempting to switch the narrative or move the window.

    The prevailing belief is that only possible for men to discriminate against women. Systemic sexism etc. 75% of psychologists are women or public administration is 80% women. You'll never in a million years hear about any program to get more men into women dominated industries.

    The rules, especially on reddit, are thus enforced as unequally. Misandry is more than enabled, it's boosted.

  • Humankind, like the half full/empty glass, is both amazing and shitty, so no wonder these communities exist, because for the same reason as the glass, they are both right.

    They would also be right if they were upset that gravity don't let them fly, but it would be a waste of time.

  • I was rolling my eyes when the paper started with the Webster’s dictionary definitions, but there were some new ideas in there. For example, men are more likely to be victims of online harassment. I’d have bet my house it was the opposite.

    Next I’d like to see a study on why there’s so little research on misandry. That would be a brave paper to publish.
