Maybe you have misunderstood me. Assuming you really are a counselor of some kind and not making this up, are you telling me that in your experience, men prefer to sit home and take care of the children while their partner goes out and works more than, or as often as, women do? If your answer is yes to this question, I will question your objectivity (or honesty), no offense.

I'm not saying that you're lying, but I reserve my right to be a bit skeptical.

Don't tell me that you really think that genitals alone is what makes a man or a woman.

Fuck off you mysogonistic prick.

Let me tell you, I would never hate on vagina owners by virtue of them being vagina owners.

Grow up.

Not at all, I was not speaking in absolutes specifically to avoid doing that.

Don't lie. When 70% of your search results are Quora, you are going to click, you are going to encounter the login banner, you are going to rage, and you are going to click away.

I think people who are content with Reddit being the way it is deserve someone like Spez.

I can totally relate to what you are saying.

The fact that all of this has been normalized so quickly shows how inefficient we are at stopping these attacks, and how defenseless society is to them. It's such a shame.

This used to be called malware.

Reddit has been shit since 2014, some would argue since its inception. It never properly replaced serious forums that specialized on their own niche, like PC hardware, gossip, cars, or whatever. The subreddit replacements always felt like lower quality EVEN THOUGH Reddit mods are (in general) more trigger happy than those running proper forums. The astroturfing, the deception, the lack of respect for its users, the UX dark patterns, it has all been getting worse and worse. Some haven't gotten the memo yet, that Reddit serves no one but itself, it's a cancer.

dictionary

astroturfing = "Public relations tactic using fake grassroots movements" (used by, among others, corporations, politicians (remember the Trump 2016 campaign on Reddit?), and governments)

UX dark pattern = user experience dark pattern = "A dark pattern is a design feature that subtly encourages users to perform a specific action." (like Reddit's "Howdy paddner" error if you use a VPN so that they can de-anonymize you)

That's actually pretty cool!
