    There’s even been some rustling on hexbear about this too. You can take the redditor out of the man, but you can’t take the man out of the redditor, lol.

        Yes, I consider hexbear sort of the sister instance to grad, so I’m also over there frequently. It started with this thread and then later spilled over into another one.

        I feel very bad for dirt_owl, the OP of both threads, and all the other women/gnc users posting their thoughts.

          Well that was an interesting read to say the least. Can’t wrap my head around how some men see this and think: how can I make myself the victim here.

            I was around for both threads being live, and some of those deleted comments, oof. I am happy that at least the admins were snappy about it. It’s nice when moderation systems aren’t just automated and used to tell people to off themselves like some other places I know…

            Maybe. One thing I know is that even “left” men are still men. The bar is underground for me. At least Lemmygrad doesn’t have its origins in a community surrounding an edgy podcast (yes, sorry, I’m a hater). I lurked in the old r/cth days and I can’t say I’m surprised at all.

              I found out recently that I was banned from the entire instance. It made my day, I can’t stand that shit humour and the same tired ancient in-“jokes”.
