Has reading posts by men on Reddit changed how you see men IRL?

Well, that's how I interpreted it. My bad. Also, I wasn't trying to start an argument, I was honestly curious. Why does that have to be 'for the sake of an argument'?

Perhaps it could be an unconscious bias, which you don't have to think or consider. Here's a good TED talk on the topic because I doubt I could explain it that well.

Also, I don't think it's fair to make a generalization like that. Naturally there will be resentful people in that sub who are bitter, but a lot of it is about societal norms and bias (not necessarily directed towards women). Also, /r/short isn't just men. I'm a member (and yes, you can call me biased or whatever), and there are concerning issues such as the infantilization of short women or women who look young.

As to the content of /r/short, let's take a look at the top posts of the month:

It's ridiculous that heightism is still denied this day and age.

Alright, well, it may seem ridiculous to some but it's a key point of the sub.

We'll forever have something over r/tall . . . leg room.

Joke post. Pretty lighthearted, no malice intended.

TIL eHarmony only matches women with men who are taller than them, because of complaints from women matched with short men

Links to an article analyzing some online dating data. Haven't read the article but this is just a topic for discussion.

So, among the others I see posts about people getting with people they love, more joke/lighthearted posts, some articles and studies, and... honestly, I don't see anything in the line of bashing women for their opinions. That may appear in the comments somewhere, but the links/posts themselves only have responses from women, studies, or what have you.

From the way you responded, I'd guess you have spent some time on /r/short. I'm subscribed but I don't contribute to it much, and yet most of the time the posts are very much like the ones I mentioned above.
