Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

I certainly don't think all men are bad but just putting fingers in your ears and going "I fight for equal rights for everyone!" extremely downplays real issues that a significant amount of women are facing. This feature isn't an "equal rights" issue, men don't need it because men don't face this problem like women do
Where am I putting fingers in my ears?
There’s no justification for having discriminatory options, and who’s downplaying anything?
SOME men will need it, and that’s discriminatory, I’m sorry your sexual bias isn’t allowing you to comprehend this. And it’s sad it will likely have to come to the same thing happening to someone else for it to change. So to say that men don’t face this problem is just outright ignorance.
I’ll ask once more time, where is the harm in allowing men to use it?
There’s multiple ways this will harm men and potentially women as well, it won’t fix anything, but that’s not a discussion I’m having with you. I am specifically asking what harm is there in having men use it?
I don't necessarily think it would harm men to have access. My problem is that every time something like this happens and is marketed specifically at helping women, all these men come in acting like they're the ones who've been oppressed for all of human history. This is another case of women wanting to be heard, but men want to make it all about themselves
Who would have thought that members of a specific group would be offended when they feel like they're discriminated against.
