4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source.
Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.

If a source you used was already posted by someone else, the autoMod will leave a message. Please remove your post if the autoMod is correct. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.

Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners.
The auto mod will contact you if a link shortener is detected, please delete your post if they are right.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
Men are people too, so “can people not be terrible” is still accurate…
Yes, but essentially saying "not all men" serves no other purpose than to enable men to continue to ignore and exclude themselves from the problem, making them actively a part of the problem.
Edit: I find it absolutely hysterical that you assholes can't help yourselves but pipe up and continue to expose yourselves to be exactly the kind of men we are talking about (when all it takes it to literally just.. not. You realise you do have the ability to just shut the fuck up, right?). Enjoy whining in to the void, I've already wasted too much time on you clowns.
Would you do the same for different races or religions?
"Yes, but essentially saying "not all muslims" allows muslims to continue to ignore and exclude themselves from the problem, making them actively a part of the problem."
Of course not, those aren't on the list of approved groups to generalise.
Lmfao at you thinking you "got me".. 🤣🤣
If the discussion was about a situation where a power imbalance clearly and obviously benefitted Muslims, then yes (except there isn't a global problem with the power imbalance favouring Muslims on anywhere the same scale as there is for men).
It really isn't difficult once you take your head out of your ass.
Or you can continue to make up as many strawmen and false equivalencies as you like to try and derail the conversation, but all that achieves is you showing your ass as being part of the problem, knowingly now, because you've been provided with information that should make you rethink your bad take, not double down on it.
Strawmen don't exist, this user is asking you about situations that do exist, such as the example about the muslims, which is absolutely a real thing that you absolutely would get flack for saying in real life. So no, to ask you a why it's magically ok for you to say it about men when it's not ok to say about literally any other group, makes it by definition the very opposite of a strawman. Don't use words if you don't understand what they mean.
This also demonstrates that your point about power is wrong. If hate speech is only allowed about one single group, it suggests the opposite of: that group holds all the power.
I suppose not all women are as rude as you. Does that ignore and exclude you from the problem?
