I followed r/gendercritical for years and I never saw any screenshots like that. I saw a few posts who had anxiety over having male children which I know horrifies those fragile male lurkers, but I have never seen calls to abort male foetuses, or kill male children, or calls to violence of any sort really.

Agreed, that's why I'm in shock/confused over these screenshots. Hopefully a couple mods weigh in to explain what happened there.

i think it's a perfectly valid opinion to say - "look how women all through history, all over the world are treated at the hands of men. I don't want to create new ones." If we searched, I'm sure we could find this in first wave and second wave discussions. Right now sex selective abortions and infanticide are all performed on female babies.

The snapshots in red are comments we removed, btw

also - They pulled a lot of comments out of context. If you read the entire thread, you might have had a different opinion of the conversation.

yeah, that's very different from saying things like "i'd abort that fucker in a second" etc. I'm relieved to hear that those comments were removed and context got lost.
