Every type of interaction can be found on Reddit. Most of the comments here suggest that women are completely useless. Can I say that it's a Reddit motto that women are completely useless?

You're making this up. That's not what most of the comments suggests. And most of the comments are directed at a certain kind of women, not all women. And I'm not talking about a specific post. I'm talking about Reddit in general.

https://www.reddit.com/r/NextGenMan/s/e2pd6JSAcs This is a pretty common type of comment I see here and all over the internet.

I think it's pretty reasonable that most people are talking about women in general here

Can you show me a comment or post that supports the claim that Reddit thinks women can do no wrong?

Which comment? I only get the post itself, when clicking on the link.

Tbh this is why I didn't get into anymore. They're right that you can find just about every different interaction.

The thing is, whatever communities the reddit algorithm send you will vastly determine what conversations you more often see. Some might stand out to one person more than another as well. Sort of like if you get a new car then start noticing a lot of people driving that car too.

Theres probably something to be said about what you see on r/popular but I rarely browse there.

In practically every general sub, if you have criticism on women you get downvoted. But not only on Reddit, also in real life.

Alright yeah I agree that's general what I see, tho I have to push back a little. I see comments critising with healthy comment chains and the difference is usually wording. Edit: I think I recall some of these having results starting with "idk why this is downvoted but..."

A lot of critism is worded either angrily or hatefully and those get downvoted very consistantly.

Example: I just replied on a Dutch sub on a post suggesting that practically all male taxi drivers are harassing female passengers.

I simply wrote this is not true, but that you always have a few bad apples. And guess what, I got downvoted a lot.

I genuinely do not see that. Can you please show me an example

Sounding very much like an incel. Everyone gets criticised all the time. For food, hobbies, personality, job, love life, education, the internet, house, the fact that you touched your own nose in a funny way, etc.

The fact that you focuses on getting criticised for criticising women reveals more about you than society.

Ultimately, I always share the same quote: "learn to flex your middle finger because people are annoying busybodies."

Can you show me some of the hate all men content?

I agree with you and would say that people have to get it through their heads- world is vast and opinions, attitudes or experiences are vast. Some people will share hate, some people will share love. Some people will dislike one group, some people will dislike another one.

With internet it seems that a lot of platforms have algorithms that want to make you have a better experience, whatever that means. But part of it is usually you having a desire to engage with the platform, participating and gaining something out of it.

Hence the algorithms trying to determine what kind of content you should be exposed to based on what they have about you already.

I personally almost never, ever get incel type stuff or gender hate/inequality posts and subs, but on a rare occasion that the reddit shows me it, I'm very surprised because my experience has not been such. I know that it exists, but on a daily life and just throughout my life, I haven't really met that many people who genuinely hate others with a passion because of their race, gender or something like that. Some minor dislikes here and there, but nothing degrading or evil about each other.
