You spent more than half your comment criticizing how women understand the experiences of men when the initial premise was “men need to be better about understanding women’s experiences and try harder to make the world less shitty”, and OP is asking “how can we be better?”
Do you see how that might be frustrating for a woman to read this thread and see the top comment is mostly reversing the question about how women can be better?

I’m going to try to state it as plainly and succinctly as possible for everyone’s benefit
It is as simple as:
- don’t interject with “not all men”, it is valueless and unhelpful
- don’t assume you do not or have not contributed to an environment that makes women feel shitty
- don’t assume your friends aren’t capable of saying or doing awful things, just because you haven’t seen it
It is not:
- self hatred or self guilt
- nagging
- virtue signaling
That’s it, that’s all. If only one dude reads this and realizes just how easy it is, I’ll be happy.

Comment on Epic Games reportedly pivoting to “AI first” game development model in ~tech

The aim isn’t to do the same stuff with fewer people, but to enable everyone here to build MORE and BETTER stuff

Too many eggheads mismanaging the company, requiring prospective customers like me to jump through Windows-shaped hoops.

They need all the playerbase they can get.

They’ve got no shame opening up twitter to shit all over a movie a lot of people worked hard to make. Obviously it’s their job, but do they have to be harsh? Loudly calling a movie dogshit is just rude.
I don’t have anything to add other than my pearl clutching lol

The biggest pain point is that I switched to nixOS in 2025, which was great at first. After running it for a while I feel like I don’t fully understand my machine. I thought I could force myself to understand nix better by immersing myself in it, and I was wrong. I want to switch to something more minimal that I can wrap my head around but I don’t want to give up the insane number of packages available. My wife’s biggest pain points are not knowing the names of the apps she wants to install, and me nagging her to update her system once a month.

Comment on A list of independent internet forums in ~tech

Almost all of these I’ve never heard of before, and they have active communities. Must have taken some serious web spelunking
I’m not debating, or arguing, or telling you that you’re wrong. I think it’s good to ask the questions you’re asking about these guys experiences. I’m trying to point out that this is one of those scenarios that’s going to make a woman’s eyes roll, like we’ve missed the point.
Like I said I think it’s good to examine the behavior and experience of men, but again I think there’s an issue with the framing of these thoughts as an answer to the original question. We can answer the question “how can men be better” before we examine and understand their experiences. Yes, I agree, exploring the subject is a good idea. I’m not trying to argue with you about it. But when the question is “how can men be better” and the response is “before we can answer that we have to ask what can we do to better understand men” it’s subtly deferring being better until after we’ve had this second complex, nuanced discussion. We can do both, and we can actually answer how to be better right away.
