There seems to be an uptick of comments by women in this subreddit. I know us women can interact with you guys via posts but I’m absolutely getting tired of seeing women responses in the comments section. I’m a lurker here because I genuinely want to know what a man feels and thinks. A man. Not a woman. God forbid a man answers in the “askwomenover30” subreddit. This wouldn’t fly. Ladies- please read and stop responding, no one is soliciting your opinions on this subreddit. Double standards.
Comments
Please do not delete your post after receiving your answer. Consider leaving it up for posterity so that other Redditors can benefit from the wisdom in this thread.
Once your thread has run its course, instead of deleting it, you can simply type “!lock” (without the quotes) as a comment anywhere in your thread to have our Automod lock the thread. That way you won’t be bothered by anymore replies on it, but people can still read it.
I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please contact the moderators of this subreddit if you have any questions or concerns.
Just like in real life, when someone I did not ask responds to my question, I simply move on.
It makes me happy that there are people who aim to understand their fellow humans better, regardless of sex.
It doesn’t bother me nearly as much as it seems to bother some people around here. The only thing that gets on my nerves, is when I give an opinion and someone chimes in and tells me how wrong I am. Men and women both do this, but it can strike more of a nerve when a woman tells you that you’re giving wrong answers in an ‘ask men’ sub.
What people post here are opinions, so there’s no reason to browbeat someone who gives a reasonable, non-insulting opinion about a topic. If you don’t agree, post your own opinion or down-vote it, but leave it at that.
If I can be as blatantly honest as possible, I’m used to this. I’m not only over 30, I’m over 50 and my life has been one big “we can do this but you can’t.” I’d be here all night typing specifics, but it’s just something I’ve come to accept and I can’t imagine there are men who haven’t experienced the same thing often. Not in this sub but in life in general.
That’s the frustration. It doesn’t go both ways. Men get banned from women subreddits for asking questions but women get a free pass over here.
I dunno. I don’t really care.
You’re supposed to flare yourself so you can kinda just disregard what women are saying if you’re not interested in seeing it.
I know this wouldn’t happen in the askwomenover30 section, but theyre a different group of people with different personalities…. some multiple.
I don’t mind seeing comments from women at all.
It’s annoying but they will keep doing it. Hence why the moderators need to do something about it. They won’t though.
I think if it’s a good point it’s a good point. If it’s a shithouse take, then it’s a shithouse take.
I appreciate that this is an ask men sub, but honestly, I’ll take advice from anyone smarter than I am. And, to be honest, there are some abysmal answers from men on this sub as well. So, whoever provides a clever response gets a gold star in my books.
It has become a trend for women to take over any sub related to relationships, genders, and parenting. So itsø not surprising. The suprising is that admins don’t care and let i happen
It is fine.. why shouldnt they talk? Its not men only sub.
If you dont wanna know what some woman think and what she talk about with ppl here.. then.. surprise.. DONT READ IT
Seriously
Get help, because you clearly have pretty big problem. Get a therapy
I don’t. Usually, their opinions are just that. And not very good ones. Not even funny either.
Most the time they seem pretty reasonable to me. I think they come here for a reason and that the askwomenover30 doesn’t help them.
There’s an uptick of variants of this same tired post in my feed this last year.
I just went to the top post in the sub right now. The top ten comments were all men.
Please get over yourself. Reddit has a built in solution to this problem.
It doesn’t bother me as long they’re respectful and contributing positively to the discussion.
Time and place. I’m not going to get particularly bothered by it. At times it can add perspective that is helpful. Other times it’s just shouting about God knows what.
It annoys me.
Because we read the rules. Be mad at the rules. Until the rules change the answer is no. Everyone is welcome.
I really couldnt care. If its valid to the question at hand and not something they’ve decided to make about themselves than usually i dont even notice who it came from.
Depends what they want to say. If it’s interesting and adds to the discussion I’m all for it. If it’s just an excuse to bash men to let off steam they only discredit themselves by doing so.
I don’t care. Hopefully their comment has some relevance to men’s situation, but if they want to talk about their boyfriend, father or brother, that’s fine. If they say some dumb stuff, well plenty of dudes say dumb stuff too. If it’s insightful I’m grateful, if it’s not I’ll ignore it. To me the sub should be a discussion about men’s opinions. We’re strong enough to hear whatever anyone has to say.
There are double standards for sure other subreddits actual have “no man’s land” heading which men are not allowed to comment, they will ban you.
I don’t really care. This sub is for men, but it’s not necessarily only for men. I hope it provides some insights you were looking for when you came here.
