Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.
-
Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
-
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

You can be both a feminist and recognize that men have major struggles too, they're not mutually exclusive
Also, isn't that still under the umbrella of feminism? Feminism isn't "only women rule". Recognizing gender stereotypes affecting men's mental health sounds very much like a feminist thing.
Nowadays this seems to really be the case. Not only do "only women rule", it becomes "men suck" as well. See the recent "I hate all men" thing, as an example. There's some people who say it as a joke, but there are tons who actually believe it, and worse, act on it.
I'd say misandrism isn't really as "mainstream" as it used to be a few years ago. Tumblr used to be misandrism central and now you have posts like these. Even now when someone makes sexist comments about men, a lot of the time they happen to be TERFs, further demotivating new people from agreeing with them.
Yeah, currently you can still find misandrist groups, but they are either confined to twitter (either crazy twitter randos or influencers) or to niche communities that have isolated themselves from the world.
Other than that, there's still the ever present sexist jokes, stereotypes, etc against men that have ingrained themselves in society, but also seem to be dying out too as new generations grow. I wouldn't really consider it a rising problem unless there is some female Andrew Tate brainwashing teenagers on this side too.
Egalitarianism > all other isms. Except autism. autism trumps all.
Well, yes, but they're still not mutually exclusive. For example, I like apples but I also like other fruits as well. Me liking all fruits doesn't override my liking of apples.
