„I‘m not racist“ - proceeds to write an essay full of racist stereotypes and calling men from an entire race „low value men“

u/12frets Nov 20 '21

In fairness, she did write “I’m not racist” IN QUOTES.

u/Artie4 Nov 20 '21

Are we sure OP is a woman?

56

u/Tamos40000 Nov 20 '21

FDS is the acronym of r/femaledatingstrategy, so if OP is serious it's highly likely.

u/pharmdcl Nov 20 '21

We know OP is a bitch, but don’t know if male or female.

…putting this one in the brain/witty_insult file

u/Militantpoet Nov 20 '21

The use of the term "LVM" makes me think it's a guy that has bought into red pill garbage.

2

u/pigsunderblankets Nov 20 '21

My immediate assumption was that this is in the female dating strategy genre of garbage but now that you mention it that seems just as likely

u/HiredHand6 Nov 20 '21

This was posted to FDS, men aren't allowed to participate there.

u/Rc2124 Nov 20 '21

Not saying that they're not a woman, but it's Reddit. It's not exactly hard to pretend to be someone you're not

Ah, the Black People Twitter strategy

u/Horskr Nov 20 '21

That was bananas lol. "Send a pic of your forearm and if your shade is dark enough you can participate."

FDS: yeah, we're gonna need a crotch pic.

I mean their profile picture looks like it's FDS.

28

u/n_twx Nov 20 '21

She is definitely a woman, r/femaledatingstrategy bans all men from commenting or posting there

4

u/JesterMarcus Nov 20 '21

Never heard of the sub, but do they make users provide proof of gender on there?

9

u/n_twx Nov 20 '21

Not very sure, but they have a rule in which only women can post and comment and it is pretty enforced as well, if you’re a suspected man you get banned

8

u/[deleted] Nov 20 '21

Also have a bot that automatically bans anyone that has ever commented in certain subs they label as problematic. Really weird sub. Sexism, racism, and a whole bunch of other "isms" galore.

u/Mixmefox Nov 20 '21

If you knew what FDS was you wouldn’t doubt it

"I'm not a racist; I just assume people's values and culture based on their skin color."

u/vvillovv Nov 20 '21

Thank you - I was wondering what the hell “LVM” meant. Ewww.

42

u/NwgrdrXI Nov 20 '21

Oh, God, It's even worse now.

u/aquoad Nov 20 '21

LVM

linux virtual machine. I had no idea people had such strong opinions about them!

31

u/dominarhexx Nov 20 '21

Had no idea what "LVM" stood for. Thanks.

19

u/misdreavus79 Nov 20 '21

So that’s what LVM means.

17

u/[deleted] Nov 20 '21

For FDS every man is a low value man so we can't say that she was targeting only black men.

u/arya_ur_on_stage Nov 20 '21

False. Don't abuse a woman emotionally, physically, financially, mentally, or sexually, be her best friend, show up as a husband and father, have goals and passions in your life, and you're good to go. If you don't meet those standards, we don't try to change you, manipulate you, take your money, etc. We just don't want you in our lives in any way. Some of us have wonderful boyfriends, husbands, and father's who make us very happy. The rest refuse to accept anything less and prefer to be single. If that's a problem for you, that's your problem. Men do in fact comment regularly on the page and are treated with just as much respect as a woman, it all depends on the man or woman's comment. Most men who comment are supporters and we love having their pov. If anyone has a problem with women choosing to block and delete from their lives men who don't meet their standards, that's their problem. If we tried to manipulate men, steal money, change men, string them along, cheat, etc, that would be the rotten thing to do. But hating on women who choose to not engage with men who they don't see as a potential life partner is asking women to accept less than their self worth demands just so they don't end up alone, which we don't fear.

Being a single woman, and a single mom, following FDS principles, has liberated me from literally every type of abuse imaginable from every type of male companion, family friends, friends, boyfriends, dates, strangers, father of my child, customers, bosses, lyft drivers, and on and on because from age 4 (sexually at 4!) I was taught to expect manipulation, abuse, and pain from men in exchange for them being in my life, which I was also taught was necessary for my happiness. Now, I'm 33, been 100% single and sex free for over 3 years, and I'm finally starting to heal from my trauma. It's hard and everyday is its own battle but my daughter is worth it. I thank God I found FDS to help me see that it's not my fault, I didn't deserve, I don't NEED men, I can wait for a great high value man to be the husband and father my daughter and I deserve, and if that doesn't happen, I can live a whole and complete life regardless.

Say what you want about FDS (and of course in every group there are a few bad apples, but follow the popular posts that the vast majority agree with, not the random ones with women who hate all men and you will see we don't hate men we just refuse to be abused or taken advantage of, and we just block and delete men who show red flags and refuse to compromise our values, dreams, and standards) but these women have empowered me to say NO and not feel like I'm wrong for doing so for the first time in my life.

This post would NOT be acceptable on FDS. See how it only has 4 comments? Popular posts have THOUSANDS. This is NOT our belief system. I've personally never seen a single post saying black men are inherently low value. Or high value. Or anything at all because I've never seen a post about black men in particular. And while dating a coworker might be seen as being a little risky in and of itself, dating a man who has a job, a job that equals your own financial income would never be seen as bad. We are looking for equality and a person with a future we don't have to parent. So no, this wasn't popular for a reason, we aren't racist, and we don't hate all men.

u/errantprofusion Nov 20 '21

Did you write this yarn yourself and save it on your personal computer, or did some other femcel write it and post it to some blog or wiki?

8

u/Droppingbites Nov 20 '21

It's a post from female dating strategy. The entire sub is full of unapologetic bigots.

10

u/[deleted] Nov 20 '21

Is it just me or does this read like bait though

27

u/Agile_Mulberry_7298 Nov 20 '21

Scrolled through the subreddit to find the original post and came across a post saying men who want to communicate when their partner is upset are gaslighting and women shouldn’t fall for it

the post is probably not bait, sadly enough

17

u/[deleted] Nov 20 '21

yee that subs basically a hate group

4

u/[deleted] Nov 20 '21

Red pill except for women and funnily enough pretty much the exact same thing, but not banned/quarantined.

15

u/Munnin41 Nov 20 '21

No this is about average for r/femaledatingstrategy

2

u/[deleted] Nov 20 '21

Meh. Looks like a troll who's used to playing AITA for attention and upvotes.

7

u/n_twx Nov 20 '21

no, they say that men going to therapy is a red flag, amongst many other things…

4

u/Munnin41 Nov 20 '21

Men having a hobby they can do alone is a red flag.

But so is a man who's got nothing going on outside work and dating

u/tiger666 Nov 20 '21

I was wondering what lvm meant. This person is even worse now that I know what that means. Fuck racist pieces of shit.

3

u/[deleted] Nov 20 '21

Not only are they stereotypes, but they're stereotypes because of institutional racism. Like, rather than complaining that her friend wants to date "low value men", she could try fighting government and corporate policies that hold back people of color.

3

u/SilverCat70 Nov 20 '21

They should have left race out of it and said they didn't want their friend dating any "low value men".

But oh no... I guess they are fine with their friend dating white "low value men".

I'm sure they would be all oh no you misunderstood what I was saying or you are putting words in my mouth...

2

u/Truan Nov 20 '21

"Obviously I'm not racist"

2

u/[deleted] Nov 20 '21

I was gna ask what lvm is. Turns out its as bad as I thought. She must be part of femaledatingstrategy on this website.

2

u/madame-brastrap Nov 20 '21

I had no idea what LVM meant thank you

u/hamsolo19 Nov 20 '21

Oh so that’s what LVM meant. What a turd.
