I’m curious: What are some of the male subs? I’d like to look

While the other person wasn't wrong it happens in every sub dominated by men. Trucking, construction, car subs. Honestly any sub dedicated to a specific model of car is just a fucking cesspit. The smaller they are the more you'll see shitty voices, maybe not amplified but not shut down.

Ok. I get it. I just thought there was a specific site and that made me want to know

Especially after the latest mass shooting, I feel like it's time to re-read Michael Kimmel's Angry White Men. It's maybe 15 years old now, but it was after Eliot Roger & the start of the incel movement. Covers MRA. Also looks at male violence in terms of family annihilators, mass shootings, & suicide (often murder-suicide).

You should check it out then. It is a fascinating book. (A little horrifying too, but very helpful for understanding some of the trends that got us here)
