  I didn’t place them in the oppressor group, I said they weren’t oppressed.

    Ok, let’s walk through the implication.

    -Women are oppressed.

    -Men are not oppressed.

    Who again are you saying is doing the oppressing? You’re blind to the fact that most men are also oppressed, and pretending that men can just go out in society and be safe being vulnerable is willfully ignorant

      You’re putting words in my mouth and confusing the difference between a demographic and an individual. AS A DEMOGRAPHIC, women are oppressed. AS A DEMOGRAPHIC, men are not. We’re talking about statistics here, not individual experience.

      The fact that some men are oppressed does not imply men are equally or more oppressed than women.

      The fact that women AS A DEMOGRAPHIC are oppressed and men AS A DEMOGRAPHIC are not does not imply all men are oppressors. It DOES imply that men opress women, but like… fucking duh? If men aren’t pressing women, then who is? It doesn’t mean all men are oppressors, but are you seriously going to sit her and act like the majority of domestic abusers, sexual harassers, and discriminators AREN’T men???

      You’re interpreting a defense of women exclusive spaces as an attack on individual men. You should unpack that.

      Men are also being oppressed by the societal rules. Sure. Thing is, the severity of such oppression is not on the same level, and while real, is not a valid comparison to female oppression.

      The oppressor is patriarchy, both men and women enforce it. Not everyone, but many. The way our societal norms, and other people in society peer pressure us into boxes is oppressive, and again, while men also are affected negatively by it, it’s just not comparable.

      So yeah, you made up that implication due to, and this is me being benign here, your misinformed self. Given that the percentage of male/female users on Lemmy being so male skewed, its effectively a male only online space. Let women have their female only online spaces.
