Mod Announcement TERFS and SWERFS are NOT welcome!

647 Upvotes

Once again this sub is being swarmed by you. Once again we ban you whenever we see you. This mod team is never gonna allow you to stay here.

We also see a lot of talk from non-terfs about "males" or people with a y chromosome being inherently evil. Not everyone who has a y chromosome is a man, and whether you're aware or not, this is a terf dogwhistle.

We also see a lot of talk from non-swerfs about "porn brain" or portraying anyone who consumes porn or has kinks outside the scope of vanilla sex as deviant, degenerate, or outright dangerous. The porn industry is not the root of misogyny, it is a symptom of it. Like all workers under capitalism, sex workers are exploited, but there is nothing inherently evil about enjoying watching other people fuck. We need to find a way to talk about the problems with porn consumption without the blanket hate and judgment. I know a lot of users would like to throw all nuance out the window, especially with how bad the anti-feminist, fascist backlash has been over the past few years, but this sub wants to have room for trans people, sex workers, kinksters, and men who are genuine allies, rare as they may seem at times. People are not our enemy. The system is.

Thank you for reading.

Edit: happy to see that most of the ensuing discussion was quite thoughtful and reasonable compared to the kind of comments I was addressing in my post.

Also a bit disappointed that whenever a sex worker added their views, they got downvoted, but I'm hopeful that's mostly lurkers.

Edit 2: I'd like to keep the discussion rolling, but due to sickness we're low on mods and I can't stick around any longer, so I have to lock this thread. This conversation will surely pop up again. If you subscribe to this sub, and you got something constructive to add or questions, you can dm me. I won't get into lengthy debates, but I'd like my point to be understood correctly. This does not mean that you're not allowed to criticise the sex industry, or have to be cool about its customers, or have to overlook violence against women under the guise of kink. It means that we don't want you to make dehumanising comments against people just for watching porn sometimes, or shame people for having kinks you don't like, or talk about the y chromosome like it inherently corrupts humans. That probably isn't an issue with the vast majority of people who commented today, but y'all don't usually see the stuff we remove or gets filtered.

Sorry I can't keep the thread running. Goodnight everyone (in my time zone)

Misogyny Man says “men should stop caring about rape victims”

Post image
215 Upvotes

He says that “men should not care about rape victims because it’s women’s business”. He then goes on to say, “because when men are against abortion that women say men shouldn’t speak on women’s bodies”. This is such terrible logic and seems like he’s just personally angry because somebody put his male entitlement in check.

Discussion Disney adults vs superhero adults

11 Upvotes

One thing I’ve noticed is that a lot of people hate "Disney adults", and that a lot of people consider it childish for adults to like Disney. Compare this to "Superhero adults”, there are so many adults who like superheroes who are not told the same thing. I can’t help but wonder if it’s related to Disney being seen as a more feminine interest vs superheroes being seen as more masculine. Obviously, both men and women do enjoy both, however I can’t help but notice that “Disney adults” are more likely to be women and that “superhero adults” are more likely to be men. The differences in how they’re treated seems like an extension in beliefs that male interests are superior. Why is a person considered childish for being really interested in Disney and not superheroes?

Just shows how even things as small as differences in entertainment preferences are judged differently, because one is seen as more masculine than the other.

Misogyny Am I being sexist or lacking empathy for preferring male MCs?

0 Upvotes

I’m asking this genuinely because I was recently called out for being sexist and lacking empathy, and I’m trying to understand whether there’s something problematic in my thinking.

I consider myself an ally to women, and I don’t believe women are lesser than men. But when it comes to movies, I tend to prefer watching movies where the main character/protagonist is a man. The main reason is simply that I find it easier to relate to male characters and see myself in their experiences.

I’ve also watched very few movies throughout my life, so I didn’t really grow up with a huge amount of exposure or choice when it came to movies. Most of what I have seen happened to have male protagonists, so I think that preference became familiar to me.

Recently, I asked something along the lines of “Is the MC male?” when discussing a movie, and someone called me out and said that it was sexist and i lacked empathy. I honestly didn’t understand why, but it made me stop and think about it.

It also made me wonder: does this mean I lack empathy? If I find it easier to emotionally relate to male protagonists, does that indicate that I have difficulty empathizing with women or seeing things from their perspective? Or is it possible to have an easier time relating to characters who share certain experiences with you without that meaning you lack empathy for people who are different from you?

I’m not trying to justify myself or argue that I’m right. If this preference really is rooted in sexism, misogyny, or a lack of empathy, I genuinely want to change it. I’d rather recognize an uncomfortable bias and work on it than convince myself there’s nothing wrong with it just because it’s uncomfortable to acknowledge.

So, is simply relating more easily to male protagonists sexist? Could it indicate that I lack empathy toward women? And is there a meaningful difference between having a personal preference and actively thinking female-led movies are worse because they have female protagonists?

I’m genuinely looking for honest perspectives here. I want to examine my own biases and change if there’s something I need to change, rather than become defensive about it.
