He likely won’t be happy to see himself here. Obviously I won’t say who it was, but he might out himself anyway. That’s his choice. He genuinely thinks there’s a “fEmAlE aGeNdA” and a system of misandry in the world. Absolutely laughable.

  • We need a bechdal test for podcasts

    I'm not sure the podcasts I've listened to would pass it, if you're not careful. I've mostly listened to stuff like SciAm's "60 Second Science", the old Major Nelson Xbox podcast, and technical/niche nonfiction stuff.

    I agree. Too many woman-led podcasts are all about men: how much they like having sex with men, but also how annoying they find men as humans.

    You may not listen to enough hobby podcasts? I hate podcasts in general but I know of a lot of hobby podcasts, run by women, that have nothing to do with men. Whatever you enjoy doing in your spare time, there’s a podcast about it.

    If there’s a podcast JUST about womanhood, relationships are more likely to come up because people are generally defined by our relationships to other things and people. Manosphere podcasts are about women for the same reason. Relationship talk makes money, and both men and women grift other men and women for that reason.

    A lot would be neutral topics depending on where you look. I have listened to women talk about niche computer stuff, space, news opinion and stuff although some idk if you can call them podcasts considering youtube is mainstream these days and women have carved their niche in truecrime i think

  • Men banding together

    OOP discovers conservatism

    And also just like…every mainstream group/panel/organization you can imagine until maybe the 80s?

  • I'm not even sure what they're trying to say?
    Also wow that flair.

    Somebody criticized a podcast, presumably. Or criticized men who never listen to female podcasters.

    He's clearly a consumer of the manosphere podcasts, which all very much deserve slander. They're not "men banding together". Mentally healthy men don't listen to those losers. Nobody has anything against healthy male bonding, we're bashing bald podcast bitches because they are straight up misogynist pigs.

  • Men like them sure do like to invent fictional enemies in their head.

  • We don't care if you band together, it's what you're banding together for, to hate women. A group formed from hate is a dangerous thing.

  • For better or worse, men have always banded together. Tf is the idiot talking about?

    Calling them an insult is a bit far too much eh. When they didn't insult women like that

  • Name and shame

    I'm all for sending this person to the mods/owner of the sub.

    Edit: Oh, wait. You are a mod! Nice! (°v°)_/

    That is against our rules, and would cause issues with Reddit. But I’m aware they’ve seen it.

    Oops. Sorry for the suggestion

    It’s alright, you haven’t personally named anyone so you haven’t broken any rules

  • Men who listen to podcasts like Behind the Bastards are fine by me. It's the ones listening to Joe Rogan that get the side eye.

    I do not understand the love for that guy. Almost never in the few times I've seen him open his mouth has he ever said anything that made sense. He seems to adore every dumb conspiracy theory.

  • Wow... that... that's like the poster child for this sub. Perfect example.

  • He might not have noticed you are a mod, demn.

    But most podcasters are mALeS. According to their definition i can't listen to politics, review anything. Who are we supposed to listen to.

    Misandry isn't comparable to misogyny i know but women online insults us left and right.

    Men with microphones is specifically referring to the “aLpHa BrO” podcasters who spout misogynistic bullshit. They are everywhere and they spout disgusting bullshit. You know that, but continue to be facetious in an attempt to try to catch women out.

    I stand corrected, english is not my first language ma'am. Am i allowed to change my flair? There might be some misunderstanding 😓

    Considering your language and history in other subs and your usage of “female” as a noun even when corrected, it’s staying for now. If your attitude changed, we wouldn’t need that flair anymore.

    Ah damn, I seem to have missed again how I have been insulted left and right by women. I always only see men claim that it happens, never actually experience it.

    They gotta pretend to be victims to feel better about themselves by pretending to be the underdog.

    I'm a man and I've never been insulted online. Have you tried being kind to others and not push conspiracies?

    This is the "not all men" argument. It's not helpful. Just because you're not doesn't mean there aren't a lot of really awful actors out there doing so, currying the favor of others by inciting them to indulge in toxic behavior. I assure you, the man-o-sphere is a real thing and it is really, really nasty.
