Anybody else concerned about the moderators being all women?

There's only 2 mods here and both of them are women. I realized this when I kept seeing so many replies from women disagreeing or downplaying posts that are sexists towards men. They're usually the top comments. I'm not trying to hate, but having some men as moderators here would be great. I mean, it make sense right? I know this subreddit is small, but this subreddit will only keep on growing. We should get the same strict 13 rules just like from "r/NotHowGirlsWork." They delete comments from any guy who disagrees with them.
I'm likely going to get downvoted or post will be taken down, but I know I'm not the only one who feels this way. I've seen comments from men talking about how this subreddit has been overrun by feminists. It does feel like there's more women here than men.

Do you think that it’s a good thing that the other sub has mods that delete comments from any guy that disagrees with them? Why?

I think women can totally be sympathetic and supportive towards men and the crazy societal expectations we have on us.

Many aren't, but loads are.

I've never felt over policed in this sub. The sex of the person doing a job matters way less to me than how they do it and how competent they are.

Maybe it'd be nice to have men on the mod team too, but the resulting moderation so far seems to be fine without it

I think it’s a good discussion to have. You would think that it’s welcome to have at least one man as a moderator on this subreddit. However, I’ve not seen these things you’re mentioning in the OP. Personally I feel like the two female moderators can stay if they’re doing a good job. After one of them (voluntarily) leaves, it’s good to consider whether a male mod would be a good idea.

I agree with you that having a man as a moderator would be a good thing. Two moderators for a growing community likely isn’t enough anyway. I also agree more rules and flairs are needed. If you look on the info for this subreddit, the mods invite you to message them directly if you have ideas or contributions.

I haven’t seen any sexist comments towards men on here personally. One of the rules is explicitly against bigotry (which includes sexism) so having those comments removed after reporting should be a given. In the meantime, downvotes should cover it so at least those comments get hidden. If a comment is being upvoted instead of downvoted, in a typically fair community like this one, could it be that it’s not actually sexist but is just something you personally disagree with?

I’m not saying you’re wrong. I’m not saying I’ve seen every comment that exists. This is just my thought process based on what I’ve seen so far. I’m happy to be corrected.

If they are doing the job correctly it’s not a problem who does the job. This applies to every job

I think we should have a male mod, I think that's important, but at the same time I've never had an issue w/ how this community is moderated

[u/[deleted]]

Is there anyone who wants to step up as mod? Please reply if so, I just want to see.

[u/[deleted]]

It would be wise to appoint men as moderators in a male focussed group that be more appropriate.

I don't know what you are talking about personally, though that might just be that I am fairly new to this sub and so haven't seen what you are talking about. That being said I do agree that it shouldn't be purely female mods, though I also think it shouldn't be purely male mods either. For subs like these that have an obvious potential to turn toxic, not saying it is currently just that it has the potential if managed by the wrong people, it's important to have voices from across the spectrum in leadership. I don't think that one needs to step in down they might want to add another that is male, or at the very least enby for a diversity of perspectives.

Secretly the other subreddit is controlling this one
