Trust me, I distrust and hate those movements with vision.

Reason nm1: Constant shitposting on any/all image boards I dare to browse.

Reason nm2: The overlap of "anti-misandry" with geniune misogyny.

Reason nm3: The hijacking of all "female/minority" problems that suddenly become white college-age male problems.

I shim-sham this issue well enough to see that, while I can agree with some issues with MRAs, it's mixed in with such hideous bullshit that I can do nothing but openly hate the movement and others like it. Note a crucial part of the previous sentence: I agree with MRAs on some issues. I'm perfectly happy with equality. What I'm not happy with is how it's blended in with TRP attempted women-manipulating and the demonization of feminism and feminists. Look at the comment I responded to earlier - the presence of feminism caused the poster to call out about "SJW Hubski". Could you please point out to me how that was deserved?

So yeah, vectors of hate. I'm going to give the members of the respective movements the kindness rarely given the other way and assume that there are some people in them that aren't bad people. That doesn't excuse the rest. It's not a silent majority, it's a silent minority.

I can understand your criticisms, and it's why I actually enjoy this community that I just recently discovered. That being said, I'm sort of afraid that by pushing away from Reddit and its anti-SJW tendency, more people on Hubski seem to hold a more polarizing view against them.

Where Voat exists now to hold the people vehemently pro-GG and anti-SJW, it seems that Hubski pulls the crowd on the other side of the debate, albeit certainly more well-spoken and upright in their composure. I'm just wary of a community that seems one-sided, which is unfortunate knowing that Hubski seems to be the most moderate community I've honestly found out there, so far.

Unless they are extremists, or are looking for an anti-SJW circlejerk/dominated site, they should be fine. I personally lean on that side of things (not because I'm against equality, but because the people are damn obnoxious and generally try to make everything into those types of issues), and I have really no issues with hubski. Not really my kind of people here, but you guys have interesting things to say a lot of the time.

Just know what you're getting yourself into. Differing opinions can coexist.

There's a couple people you can hook up with for different opinions. Look around some more. It's not so bad.

I've been there before -

The survey that generated the data inspiring my post was of a different nature than your supposed SJW correlations, but the question is always valid.

I hope you find the prior discussion interesting.

Welcome. :)
