Yeah, I don’t think it was good for me. I don’t know how to describe it but there is such darkness in some places. Antisemitism, racism etc. And you can’t help wondering how it got there. Why hate Jewish people so much? Leave them alone. It reaches out and gets to you if you know what I mean. I’ve got such a huge disillusionment with trads now. This is a nice, reasonable place. I will only browse here.

The light, the light! (Haha)

I hear you! Last year I followed a bunch of social media influencers who were labeled ‘far-right’ because I wanted to see what far-right meant to Liberals. I didn’t find the ‘influencers’ were all that radical or terrible in their thought process but their following was… gross. I also followed ‘far-left’ people and heard things like: White people are evil. Straight males are inherently violent and should be controlled. If you won’t be with a transgender person you are bigoted and hateful. Etc. Etc.

It was a bad year! LOL! My fiance (at the time, now husband) asked me to set social media aside because I would get so angry. And I did, for a long time. I’m back now but avoiding groups and people like that.
 
Oh me too! My husband was just saying that the other day. ‘you know, I don’t think you can handle the internet. It makes you too upset.’ He was probably right. I’m super sensitive. Not cut out for some places, I’m afraid.

You might not describe it as hate but there is definitely a very hateful undertone that I truly believe is born from bitterness and rejection. If you haven’t seen it - I’m glad for you! Just means I’ve clearly been stumbling on the wrong kind of crowds. LOL

Yeah. I certainly don’t see this in any Catholic circles I’m in. There does seem to be a resurgence in the error that the man is literally the boss in marriage though. I do think that the fact that these people are online makes them seem like they are more numerous, but that’s the nature of the internet I guess?

You really only find those extreme sorts of blogs when you go looking for them. I’ve never met such a person.

Just recently there was an exchange over on the World News forum with a CAF member that thought post-menopausal women who found the conjugal act painful or difficult were not taking their conjugal duties seriously. I could link to the exchange but I won’t as I don’t want to single out a particular user, but suffices to say that I, as a husband, found that comment in extremely poor taste.

I wish it were an isolated incident, but there is a small class of men here on CAF that reduce the marital act to a mechanical obligation.

So the OP does have a point.

That is true, now that I think of it.

The way some posters on here talk about the marital act is quite distasteful. I just try to ignore them, but it’s very hard sometimes. Some of them really like to dictate to others exactly how it should work in the bedroom for everyone else.

As for some fundamentalist bullies on other sites or in real life…I have moved far away from such men, thankfully, and I wouldn’t want to go back on those sites and have to listen to their ranting again.

You definitely have to pick and choose where you go on the internet. There is a lot of good, useful, helpful stuff…but you don’t want to go looking through the garbage to find it.

Anyone else sick of woman hating in online forums for traditional catholics? There is an undertone of catholic women being at fault for everything even if they are not feminist. How do we solve this problem?

This illustrates what is worst about internet forums, and it shouldn’t have a place here.
You make a vague insinuation about a group of Catholics without providing real backup examples. And then later in the thread you insist the discussion must be nice. The only thing your post will produce is pointless arguments, because the post has no foundation and is controversial.

Get real.

Welp, I listed some websites and another person helpfully linked a thread. I think that people have come forward and talked about a few examples. I’ve decided not to go to those sites anymore. So I think some good things came out of it.

Sorry for offending you.
 
If you cropped out the name of the forum, how can the rest of us be sure it came from a Catholic site?
 
This is the link of a good example.

Oh shoot, how do I link it? Well he did and it’s called calling all women fisheaters.

And no, it’s not my post before anyone asks. I quit there weeks ago.

I just can’t win can I? It was from fisheaters. Do a search and you can find it yourself.
 
You should be able to just copy and paste it into the post text box. Or if you want to link my post specifically, click the chain icon on the lower left hand side of the post. It should have a link directly to it that you paste into the post text box.

I did look at the link another poster linked. The opening post was much like the opening of this thread: making broad accusations without specific examples. I only had time to read the first page, but, other than one poster, the first page was all women patting themselves on the back and agreeing with each other. I’m thinking that was what the OP was hoping for in this thread, but, that didn’t happen.
 
It’s on the other pages and no that’s not what I wanted. We can end the discussion now if nobody wants to talk about it anymore. I mean, it’s fine, really.
 
You have the OP and someone else who has witnessed such activity but you refuse to believe it. I suspect because we are women. You know, us hysterical women who couldn’t possibly be interpreting things correctly.

No, I won’t be linking. If you haven’t seen it you probably won’t ever.

I wish you the best and have no desire to prove to you that we have, indeed, seen such behavior. In the end it doesn’t matter. Acknowledging it happens would be a nice gesture but I don’t expect someone who demands proof to do that.
 
Dude, I’m a lady. And I have seen woman-hating online among hatred towards men, Jews, and any other group. I just don’t see an epidemic of it among traditional Catholic men. Certainly not on CAF and not among the Catholic men that I have been blessed to know.
 
Ah. I don’t think it’s an epidemic. I think it happens. I mistakenly thought you were insinuating it doesn’t happen period.
 
No. I just don’t like broad accusations against men. All of my friends are Catholic guys and people like that OP in the linked thread just make me sick. Heck, rereading it again, we must not be living in the same universe because I’m not paranoid about being objectified every time I step outside the house.
 
I don’t think it’s an epidemic either. Just a problem, that’s all.
 
I think it’s really jarring when we see it from Christian or Catholic men because we expect them to behave better. That may be why the OP made it sound like an epidemic. It really is a problem when any Catholic or Christian represents the faith poorly as we are meant to be the foot soldiers of the Church (so to speak) and may be some peoples only experience with the faith. That’s a big burden!
