Well, exactly. Put it somewhere between those extremes. Dials like these are important for avoiding the hyper-polarization the world is afflicted with these days.

    When you stake your basis for it on the idea that only CIS women are female.

    Yeah. I often wonder how many people who attempt to hijack a movement actually believe their singular view of what it should be should be the universal, how much of it is just ignorant ego and an attempt to remain relevant (looking at you JK), and how often it’s a deliberate attempt to both discredit one cause while tearing down another.

    The raging misandry that commonly accompanies it, for one.

    You could have listened to me, sympathized, and told me my misandrist experience is valid, but, then again, that's a privilege reserved for women experiencing misogyny, isn't it? Wouldn't be very feminist of you to acknowledge just how widespread misandry is among feminists, eh?

    Oh no! Hating men for beating, raping, and exploiting us! How awful!

    I knew someone from one of the misandry instances would chime in to prove my point, so thanks! ^_^

    You haven't really proven anything. You say misandry is the problem with being a raging feminist. All I said was hating people who oppress you is not a bad thing. Also one of the "misandry instances"? So are all queer or women oriented instances just misandrist to you?

    They're not "just" misandrist; that is to say, they definitely have good reasons for existing outside of misandry, and I'm glad that they can provide that space for the people who need it. It's also certainly not inherently misandrist to be queer or woman oriented.

    In the case of Lemmy, though, yes, all of the queer and women oriented instances are very clearly also misandrist. Openly and proudly so, in fact. Your comments here are an excellent, though comparatively mild, example of that.
