i'll start. i saw a ask reddit post saying something along the lines of "men of reddit whats something women can't understand" and the comments were just. oh my god. the main one that made me want to puke was "when dudes walk by each other and nod" and the whole fucking thread was just fedoras with arms soypogging like it was some secret language or something. "when you nod upwards, it means respect!!!!!1!!11 when you nod downwards its aggression!!!1!11!!!!!" as if women dont do the same shit.

do you guys have something similar to share?

As a black, queer person whose internalized racism primarily stemmed from this mindset, this hurts. I'm glad you pointed it out, though, because even Redditors need to realize that this mentality isn't as helpful for progress as they would think.

much like the average lib they don't give a shit about progress, only self-righteous and smug posturing
