    I can’t help but wonder if that sub is mostly populated by men pretending to be women trying to make women look bad. Not saying that women are immune to being assholes, but it is :reddit-logo: after all, so I definitely wouldn’t be surprised.

      I’m sure there are a few men pretending on there but I have come across women before who genuinely hold these kinds of views. They’re super rare for sure but let’s face it so are incels and there’s enough of them to form various communities.

      One thing I’ve noticed in both is they seem to have developed this really weird and toxic ideology that really does seem to have a lot of its roots in the increasing commodification of everything including relationships. I’m not saying it’s the biggest cause or even a cause at all but a lot of the weirder shit seems to almost be an attempt to use something like I dunno a marketing algorythm or something.
