Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions

1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.

You're right . They aren't . But they think they are
But no (misandry|androphobia) don't exist bcus men don't face oppression for being men , women expressing "androphobia" really just reaction to misogyny . To say otherwise legitimises "reverse oppression" , to that I say no !
Misandry and Androphobia do not require 'oppression' to exist, in the same way that a man being eaten by a shark is still being eaten by a shark despite not being oppressed.
You can still be racist against 'oppressors' -- you might have more of a reason for doing it, but that doesn't mean it's not racist.
Misandry means you dislike men for simply being men -- not that men are oppressed.
Androphobia means you are afraid of men simply because they are men -- not that men are oppressed.
