    I didn’t claim misogyny didn’t exist, I explicitly confirmed it does. I didn’t say misandry was worse than misogyny, I said it wasn’t a competition between the two. Just because YOU don’t recognize it doesn’t mean that OTHER people don’t feel it’s effects. For you to come in and claim to tell other people that their experiences are invalid because you personally don’t believe in them is the height of narcissism

    Misandry exists and it’s a valid concern for a lot of men. To write it off and pretend it doesn’t is to feed more people into Peterson’s cult. That’s not to say that misogyny doesn’t exist either, not that it’s not as much of a problem. It’s not a competition on how much life sucks for a particular group of people. We’re all just trying to get through life however we can and everyone needs their own space. And so far 99% of men’s spaces are this sexist alpha male pigheaded bullshit. And everyone is so afraid of making another type because they’ll be labeled as more of the same. This is for just normal ass people who just need someone to talk to who understands what they’re going through. None of the Peterson bullshit. None of the misogyny. Just guys helping guys. And it’s telling that my first post saying “Peterson sucks” is very upvoted but my post saying “Peterson sucks, here’s an alternative for men that’s not sucky” is not

    !Reprieve@lemmy.zip is here for male-identifying persons to get away from this kind of hate and find a better place to connect with their fellows where just regular normal people can talk about shit without judgement and without the specter of dumbass made up sexist shit like Peterson spouts hanging over them.

    Disappointed but not surprised to see the downvotes, apparently there are Peterson fans here.




  • I’ve already posted a bigger post about some of my past, but heyo, nice to meet everyone, y’all can call me whatever you like, I’m the creator of this space. I want everyone to feel like they can come to me with whatever they need, sorta open door policy I suppose. I want this to be more of a community project and less of a ‘my’ project kind of thing so any suggestions or the like are very welcome. This is OUR space.

    I’ve been a guitarist for a long time, decades, until my Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome started hitting me really hard. Especially in my fingers. It got really hard to play anything I used to be able to play, and then it got hard to even play basic chords; things I could play within my first 6 months of picking up a guitar become impossible. I haven’t been able to play in years and it’s hit me pretty hard. Alcohol has been a good friend, arguably TOO good of a friend, but it kills the pain like nothing else does. Mostly physical but mentally too. I’m in a good head space now but the depression never entirely leaves you and I’ve found I’ve been leaning more and more heavily on alcohol as a crutch. It’s a thing I am aware of at the least, I know it’s not healthy for me but shrug it’s better than the alternative I feel. At the moment.
