TwoXChromosomes is one of the most toxic, misandrist subs and should be removed from auto sub list immediately. NSFW for later mentions.

For starters, I don't necessarily think it was always this way. When I used to get content from them (I was probably autosubbed), I'd see more general advice for women, but it has now devolved into bashing men and telling "amiright, ladies?" circlejerk stories of empowerment (of which I'm sure 80% are imagination or fantasy) -- more on this later.

One of the biggest issues is that anybody, suprisingly including women, will be banned for disillusioning the circlejerk. I've come across entire communities on this platform that solely exist of women who were perma-banned from TwoXChromosomes for doing so. One even said she was banned for suggesting that "total male castration" was too extreme. Like, what? Their tendency to delete comments that even remotely attempt to challenge the topic of the post is atrocious and adds to the echo-chamber nature of the sub.

Now to the core content of the sub -- "empowering" stories solely about shutting men down for no reason. In most of these stories, the man isn't even in the wrong. I remember seeing a post a while ago about some woman telling her doctor they had no right to refuse her the day after pill. I see 60,000 votes, awards out the wazoo, and thousands of women eating this story up as empowerment, with most saying she needs to publicly shame this misogynist freak. Then, the OP clarifies that the doctor was a woman, and the thread starkly ends because it's not fun to bash women.

Another post was about some gardener and how she shut down some man's unsolicited advice. She was purchasing a high-maintenance plant, so the person scanning her items (obviously a dude or this post wouldn't have been made) asks if he can offer her some advice, presumably because he's also an experienced gardener. The whole punchline is unironically that she said, "no thank you," to which he responded, "ok." You already know the people in the comments were eating it up. "Shut his mansplaining ass down, girl!" This was the most normal interaction ever, and I don't think they even know what unsolicited means because he asked for permission to give advice.

The comments can be more hypocritical than the posts, too. There was a post where a woman was complaining about a man disliking being ordered while giving oral sex. A response was -- verbatim -- "Girlie I'm barking orders and moving my husbands head around like a joystick on a controller. Find a better man." Apparently, not wanting to be commanded during oral sex lowers your value as a person. Also, these women would be horrified to be ordered during sex, viewing it as oppressive, but they're actively posting about their sex lives, most likely without their spouse's consent.

I mean, the whole point of the group is to talk about women, so why is every single goddamn post about hating men? Seems like they live rent free in your heads.
