I couldn’t believe my eyes seeing this advice to teach young boys to hit girls so as to restore the boys’ self esteem and pride.

This is the kind of toxic belief that shouldn’t be allowed to proliferate here and yet is embraced with open arms by other users.

That boys can only regain their pride and self esteem by hitting girls leads directly to more violence against women and girls.

    Lemmy does have a sexism/misogyny problem. It especially comes out whenever a woman isn’t on the left “team”. They bring out the classic misogynistic insults. Just look at any of the Nicki Minaj related posts. They’re filled with people laughing at sexual harassment and general misogyny, all because she’s not on the left.

    Sexism and misogyny is never okay.

      Doesn’t she also surround her self with pedophiles? It’s a little disingenuous to say that people were “mean” to her only for being on “the wrong team”.

        Attacking how she looks or celebrating her being sexually harassed has nothing to do with criticism for her aligning herself with pedophiles.

        There’s a difference.
