This is a community in the spirit of "Am I The Asshole" where people can post their own bans from lemmy or reddit or whatever and get some feedback from others whether the ban was justified or not.

Sometimes one just wants to be able to challenge the arguments some mod made and this could be the place for that.

  1. Which mods/admins were being Power Tripping Bastards?
  2. What sanction did they impose (e.g. community ban, instance ban, removed comment)?
  3. Provide a screenshot of the relevant modlog entry (don’t de-obfuscate mod names).
  4. Provide a screenshot and explanation of the cause of the sanction (e.g. the post/comment that was removed, or got you banned).
  5. Explain why you think its unfair and how you would like the situation to be remedied.

Rules


Expect to receive feedback about your posts, they might even be negative.

Detailed explanation of wy trans(misandry|androphobia) dœsn't exist :

Question: “If transmisogyny exists, does transmisandry?”

Answer: Based on the ways I have seen transmisandry commonly defined, I would say no. Firstly, misandry as a form of systemic oppression does not exist — trans men are not discriminated against for being men, but for being trans. Secondly, transmascs do face a specific type of transphobia, but transphobia is not unique to transmascs, while transmisogyny (which is not transphobia) is unique to transfems. Simply put, transmisogyny is the culturally pervasive attitude (held and perpetuated by anyone who is not a transfem) of regarding trans women as a third class of gendered categorization altogether, because, to quote myself, “[transmisogynists] cannot dignify us as women, but cannot accurately misgender us as men either without calling the stability of male supremacy into question.” (This process is called “third-gendering” or “degendering,” and you can read more about it here.) Therefore, transmisogyny operates on a different level of gendered oppression altogether. Again, transmascs do face a specific type of transphobia unique to them, but they do not experience quite the same form of marginalization which trans women do.

Misandry exists, there are situations and circumstances where men face prejudice and hostility for being men, especially trans men and transmasculine people. YDI.

By the way this isn't the oppression Olympics, whining about being more oppressed than a certain other group who also is oppressed in other ways and trying to argue for the right to oppress them further isn't going to be tolerated by people. It's unproductive and hostile.

Where do they call you a transphobe? They removed your comment for misandry. Admittedly, your point is a little difficult to understand.

It looks like you said misandry doesn't exist, and by extension trans men can't face misandry because it doesn't exist.

Misandry, as a term, has a fucked up past and is too often used against feminists, but evidence indicates prejudice against men in select situations and careers. It's no where near the scale of institutionalized misogyny, but to deny men can be descriminated against on the basis of sex at all is incorrect.

Examples of systemic misandry include longer prison sentences for the same crimes, or the lack of recognition for male rape victims, including laws that state only men can be rapists.

I can see why denying misandry would be taken down.

Here (Accuser since deleted comment)

In regards to injustices you think apply exclusively to men , they in fact happen to women (especially trans women) tꝏ ! And do you really think laws see trans women as women ? Doubt !

[–] Icytrees@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 days ago

I get the impression you don't read things before responding to them.

[–] Cephalotrocity@biglemmowski.win 15 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The word that was created to represent something that exists: misandry

OP: 'nuh uhh'

[–] LodeMike@lemmy.today 12 points 1 week ago

Misandry is definitely a thing. It's not anywhere near as prevalent as mysoginy. Both are sexism.

[–] frongt@lemmy.zip 14 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I have no idea what any of your comments are trying to say. Looks like you threw out enough jargon that the mod couldn't really trust it either.

[–] unruffled@anarchist.nexus 4 points 1 week ago

This seems like a CLM situation. Those comments should be restored. There was no misandry here.

One of the most fundamental schisms in women's rights activism is between "women's liberation" and "feminism". Women's lib critique targets colonial patriarchy which serves a particular in-group of men and its subordinate women who uphold it, oppressing women and out-group men alike. Feminism is more preoccupied with how all of womens' problems are attributed to men at every level, including supporting the women who adhere to and support the patriarchy, and attacking the men who are victimized by it.

Redditor "erm reverse racism and sexism is a thing" stuff is not women's lib though lol. It's just crocodile tears from those who benefit from systems of oppression.

This is wrong on so many levels you have to be trolling.

The women's liberation movement was a feminist movement. Feminism is the ideology behind women's liberation, and has never been about attacking men or women. The people who claim they're feminists but strive for equality by stepping on someone's back are not following feminist ideology.

Now, feminism is more focused on intersectionality than it has ever been, working toward equality across age, race, gender, nationality, religion and ability. There has never been a feminist movement that took into account the issues men face under a patriarchy as much as modern day feminism.

Women are allowed to feel whatever way they want about men bcus they're the ones targeted by misogyny , with men being the benefactors

[–] Icytrees@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

People can feel whatever they want, yes. If those feelings lead to hurting another group out of revenge, it's not feminism. Human rights are not a limited resource.

If you believe in undertaking revenge against men because misogyny exists, I don't want to engage in that conversation. It's not going to be productive for either of us.

So you think misandry exists then . Got it

[–] Deceptichum@quokk.au 1 points 1 day ago

Only an idiot would pretend it doesn’t.

[–] Icytrees@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago

Yes? I made that pretty clear.
