Is it just me (probably is) but I seem to be observing an increasing number of threads that are quite misogynistic. Reducing women in effect to an object to be commented on with very little thought to how that might affect women in general. I get that this community is sex oriented but that still doesn't excuse the 70's attitudes that seem to be becoming prevelent.
Perhaps it's because of large disparity in numbers between men and women on here or perhaps the age demographic being older and therefore stuck with attitudes of several decades ago, or perhaps a rise in the laddish culture promoted by some 'celeb types'. I'm sure there's a research paper here maybe even a PhD thesis.
Alternatively I'm just too sensitive, the irony that I recently commented on one of these threads hasn't escaped me and it's a constant battle of trying not to engage in these conversations (I'll keep my thoughts to myself - mostly)
Anyway I've rambled enough and I'm starting lose my train of thought so before I say something I might later regret I'll stop  |

I’d say pound for pound there’s far more casual misandry on here considering how many women there are vs men
Misogyny is a viciously called out and attacked on here. Misandry is still just a casual joke
It shouldn’t be a competition. Both should be called out and challenged.
And both words are thrown around too easily. |

I think that you are the only fabster that I have seen use the word 'misandry' - damn, now I have used it, thereby undermining my own statement.

Can't say I've noticed an increase in those threads or even individual comments across the various forums.
There will always be people who say they don't give a fuck about what others think of them but that also means they don't give a fuck about what they say when verbalising their opinions or the consequences.
That isn't gender specific either.
Misandry usually gets a pass because it's seen as as a necessary reaction to misogyny.
Those one sided tales, selective hearing and bants have a lot to answer for.

On the whole men are more visual and physical - that's why the porn industry is so big.
Sex is seen as a function, so women are objectified.
The difference I can see is repect. If a woman is shown respect, that includes if she wants to be used as a cum slut, that it is ok. Its realising that its about her needs and wants too.
The good men on here get that and realise some of us like & love good sex.
(FYI - I am not a cum slut do please do not ask) |

I did a while back and got several messages from men saying thank you for sticking up for us
Saying that I agree with OP that some really terrible threads sometimes that look like from the 1970's. Just got to challenge whenever you see it on both sides if you have the energy. |

I think I've noticed it both ways, but moreso with the idea of women being "entitled" which is a shame to see as if they shouldn't have autonomy over their own body.
And I have seen threads moaning about single men and the constant messages despite filters being in place for a reason and the feeling men are a hindrance to the site more than an included part of it.
All in all, it's not a fucking competition and I'd like to think it's only the vocal minority that voice the opinions above and everyone else can just get on with it. |

It happens in phases, in fact it's a cycle of phases. Woman hating today, likely man hating tomorrow. Then a break, before the next haring subject before eventually we come full circle and back to woman hating to begin to start the cycle over. |

I know the kind of threads you mean, about burst kebabs and saggy tits...
That's not misogyny that's just laddish behaviour |

"??
Men (OP) presenting themselves as the protector of women to get more female attention.
Hardly  "
I think it brings more attention to the people that say that kind of thing, and not good attention |

I agree with you OP. There will be accusations of white knighting. There are already comments suggesting us wimmin are worse. I will just roll my eyes and go back to my usual tactic of ignoring because no one ever changes their mind on the back of an Internet argument.

That's not misogyny that's just laddish behaviour "
But it is misogyny and explaining it away as 'banter' or 'laddish behaviour' does two things...
1. Makes it acceptable, not just as banter but as an actual perception of women
2. Harms men just as much as women, partly by allowing and accepting the misogyny but also it tars the perception of men as a whole (who'd have thought I'd be quoting not all men), becoming a self fulfilling prophecy... women assume that's how men perceive them as that's what 'banter' shows... eventually if you tell someone enough that they believe x about themselves, they begin to believe it.
But yes OP, like many of the views around perceived differences, they are wedge issues with people on one side or the other (race, religion, politics etc) and recently it feels like it's becoming more acceptable to air views of racism, sexism, homophobia etc... |

This is a tricky one. I have found that on here it is open season on men. We can have any number of comments aimed at us, yet dare we answer any or make a criticism of women's behaviour one is instantly called a misogynist.

I've noticed men and women come in for crap - misandry and misogyny are probably equal (although it could be that good old confirmation bias).
What I have noticed is a rise in the seemingly "innocent" and "tongue in cheek" threads which peddle both, more often than not coming from someone who is hurt over perceived rejection. |

What most men on here don’t realise is that in this world the women are in charge and, in the main, are in control. It is primarily the female who ultimately decides who gets to play and who doesn’t.
This is very obvious on the club scene, but is often misread by most men on here, and by a small minority of the wanking dead found in clubs, who think of swinging as just an opportunity to get their end away.
These men then wonder why they struggle to get meets.

Although accused otherwise I have never treated sites like thus as an easy way if getting sex. It's the opposite in fact.
However I will say that in recent years missandry and bad behaviour from some women is on the rise. |

Can't say I've noticed any difference to how fab has been all along. There has always been misogyny and misandry on here one gets called out a lot more than the other.
But the easy thing I do is to avoid threads that I don't like or can't be bothered getting involved in.It makes my time on here a lot easier. I don't feel the need to educate anyone or here or lecture others. Because one I can't be bothered and two it wouldn't make a blind bit of difference anyhow. |

"You are quite right to point out the misogynistic content of some threads O.P. and I am sure you won't mind me pointing out your ageist assumption. "
Absolutely, but since I don't mix with the yoof of today I've only got my generation (and those close to it) for the attitude data. I'm not appointing blame to everyone but I've either become more sensitive to this kind of attitude as I've got older or it's on the rise again |
