KBIN is not implementing promised improvements in moderation, federation, and fighting spam. I have given up on this platform, and I can't recommend anyone to put any effort into it any longer.

Please don't let this turn into an anti-feminist, misogynistic, right-wing, tribal community (kbin.social)

You will be no better than the people you'll fight against. I've seen it happen on every pro-men subreddit, and if this place isn't aggressively moderated to dispel hopelessness, negativity, and prejudice, it'll just turn into hate.

Incel, mens-rights activist, red-pill, black-pill, MGTOW, etc. don't let the haters join otherwise this community will end up just like the aforementioned.

Egalitarian from a male perspective is what we should be, not pro-male (I say male because of sex and gender).

Be excellent to each other.

No. Your comment could lead one to believe that you were saying "if they can do it, why can't we?"

Defining contemporary feminism by those who take the stage to say stuff like "stop mansplaining", "men can't be raped", and "men should be paid less to reduce the gender pay gap", would be like defining conservatives by those who call out to "shoot immigrants at the border", "Arbeit macht frei", and "you're just a snowflake".

Or defining the men's rights movement by those who say "women are the problem", "she's just a plate", "you're such a soyboy".

If that is the only lens we use to describe others, we will see enemies everywhere.

Ironically, the type of feminism that you are defending broadly defines the mens rights movement as misogynistic and hateful. That's what contemporary feminism is: More devoted to pwning men than to seeking equality. I do not see enemies everywhere, but I do see contemporary feminism as an ideology that desires to deny my human and civil rights.

False equivalence, because the former are things definitely said and defended widely by feminists in positions of power. E.g. "men can't be raped" is literally what Mary P. Koss said, who is behind the statistics published by the CDC and used by for example RAINN to completely dismiss the issue of men being raped by women.

Or defining the men's rights movement by those who say "women are the problem", "she's just a plate", "you're such a soyboy".

Nobody serious within the men's rights movements says those things. Again, false equivalence. And please don't confuse TheRedPill with the men's rights movement.
