I feel bad for note paying attention to it sooner. I think I'm going to have to post more of this sort of content all over the place to piss of the sexists.

Sadly brocialism is a thing amongst some leftists.

lemmy is a network mostly populated by cis white men. like a lot of liberal/leftist spaces populated by cis white men, it’s going to be progressive on the surface; i.e., they oppose right wing shit. say here that you support the right to abortion, immigration or gay marriage, and you’re not going to meet much pushback.

but, as soon as you start criticizing dominant groups (or just, say that they have power over oppressed people), now people yell at you. you can see that here, but also, say that anti-white racism is not a thing, or even just that it’s not comparable to actual racism, and you’ll wonder if you actually logged into reddit by accident.

heck, just criticize people’s behavior as bigoted here and they’ll rip you apart…

Because it's unnecessarily inflammatory. The "bear or men" thing is apparently interpreted completely differently by at least some men and women and instead of listening to each other it just ends up as hate for each other. Why would you want to piss of the men that are on your side?

Well, reddit migration I guess.

Well, it's egalitarian, so there's your answer. Equal

it's like solidarity amongst the lower classes only matters up until the point when you have to start working against the oldest arbitrary division that's been used to keep us from organizing

Unfortunately, I think a lot of the read theory bros on lemmy are people who are less concerned about solidarity with the lower class, and really just involved in Marxism because they want to abolish class because they've incidentally fallen into the lower class.

There seems to be a lot more anger about their own displacement within their own society than the plights of more disenfranchised minorities classes. I think that's why a lot of the Marxist/communist instances are so obsessed with the particulars instead of being a more big tent community.

the Read Theory bros theories don't consider critical marxist analysis of gender to be part of the theory that needs to be read, which is frustrating, bordering on upsetting

As a big Read Theory Bro, turned Read Theory Girl, holy fucking shit, this is so true.

Marx, Lenin, and friends are great, but there's so much Feminist and Queer Marxism out there worth reading

Engles' Origin of The Family, Private Property and The State

Alexandra Kollontai's Communism and The Woman Question

Anuradha Ghandy's Philosophical Trends in the Feminist Movement

Transgender Warriors by Leslie Feinberg

Yeah.... The vast majority of the comments I've had rack up a bunch of down votes on this platform have been arguing with misogynists. I think it's mainly a byproduct of the demographics of lemmy mostly being made up of young dudes working in tech.

Boo hoo that men are offended.
