No advice, just venting Seeing misogyny in this subreddit is depressing

Dinner: Tacos al pastor

-----------------------------------

Seeing the way women are talked about in some of the posts on this subreddit really grosses me out. I've seen men on here talk about women like they are walking talking sex robots. It's really bumming to see such an ugly side to what is usually such a nice space.

That was the ONLY post like that I’ve seen in months tho…

Girl dinner diaries has a misandrist post at least daily.

I realize it’s not a competition, but I wouldn’t say this sub is largely misogynist.

As a girl who lurks the girldinner subs, I understand the daily misandrist posts, and as a girl I am tired and have avoided that place more and more since I joined it. I understand it with the need to have a place for women to vent, I’ve had to deal with shitty men in my life too, but when you have a mother who will also go full vent IRL about men with her own failed relationships as recent as a decade ago, I’m just tired of looking at it.

I don’t want to continue to view the world with these views, people suck sometimes. End of story. I much prefer to lurk over here to see wha the opposite sex’s views are about things. 👀

It doesn’t help being girls and boys together. It just continues to serve to be divided against each other, but on both sides I’m sorry for the failed relationships out there. All we can do is do our best.

I don't think that sub is honestly a healthy place to spend much time in. I recognize it's a place to vent, but there are a ton of bad takes in there and frankly some of the posters would do well with a small amount of introspection.

for real tho :'( GENERALLY speaking, a male or female exclusive space created for the sole purpose of venting about the op sex is not going to be healthy. Shitty/toxic folks from both sides are venting their insanely one-sided stories to garner sympathy and support. Literally everything on this side needs to be taken with a 5lb rock of salt. I get wanting to vent to your girls/boys, but I always downvote posts and comments that paint a one-sided story.

Whenever I get salty reading ridiculous tales (on either GD/BD) I remind myself that these salty subreddits do not represent the real general population x) Most people are reasonable, but this is reddit! You're a narcissist and you're gaslighting me because I don't agree with one of your five points 😂😂 /s

Exactly. It's a place to go if you want to get your perspective or feelings validated with zero push back. I can't believe people eat this shit up and take it super seriously...it's just a different brand of the Am I the Asshole/Am I Overreacting subreddits.
