I’m more amused about it than anything. I will fully admit I used Reddit and similar sites for conversing and such before and my comments on Lemmy are very similar. But the amount of screeching manosphere types are SO LOUD on Lemmy! It’s astonishing the kinds of things people say to me here.
I call out bullshit when I see it, but I’m rather kind and positive in general. So when I’ve got a message telling me that my attitude is why women should be subjugated or raped, I feel a little pride in upsetting a truly horrible person just by being myself.
Right; they declared it their territory, all kids keep off the lawn, and then us women just stroll on in like we want jobs and money and hobbies and all the other stuff they said was theirs, no touchie!
And they don’t want every space as their space, just every one that gets them a good wage (defending hunting grounds?), or good recognition (keeping a higher place in the tribe?). Like, brewing beer and doing computer work (for example) were a woman’s space until men realized they could make a lot of money at that stuff.
FR I really think it’s a tribalism/territorial thing. I mean, pretty much all humans are kinda tribal/territorial but a lot of men seem to especially be so?
Men can’t stand it when a woman has more than them, whether being a supervisor in the workplace or being better than them at a skill or knowledge or any other metric. The men that don’t act as threatened just consider themselves higher on the ladder. The ones that know they’re at the bottom screech harder about women even existing in their spaces because of it.

I like the cool people here more than I’m bothered by the assholes, I guess lol

Oh yeah who knows probably just driven by insecurity and anger, bypassing any sort of introspection and lashing out at others instead.

Territorial, maybe? Women are ‘invading their spaces’ (i.e. the job market, sports teams…) so they have to chase us away to defend their territory?
