I have made quite different experiences, the people I felt safest to open were feminists.
Edit: I am sorry for your experience and didn't wanted to downplay it. However, as there are many answers in a similar direction as yours, i wanted to give an alternative experience.
I guess it depends on if they're actual feminists or misandrists parroting the words and rhetoric. I imagine a terf for example wouldn't be great
Yes obviously. Actually, the people i was thinking about, were basically advocating for a fair society where every person can live ther own way. As women are currently structurally at disadvantage, this leads them to feminism.
I'm genuinely glad that you've had good experiences. It's possible that my age--I'm pretty sure I'm 20+ years older than the average Lemmy user--has made a difference in the interactions I've had. It's also possible that being neurodivergent has influenced my experiences. I truly don't know; I've only got a single test subject, n=1.
