I have absolutely seen those exact type of comments directed a male personalities/posters with no repercussion.

We have started to take actions against those type of posts including because often they are homophobic. For example a post last week where someone said a local male media member “sucks dick”.
But let’s be honest marginalized and underrepresented groups have faced more of this stuff than the average white male. So let’s not get to caught up in double standards. Those double standard have benefited men for a long time
I’m happy to agree that all of it is junk though. What would be most helpful is simply for the community to commit to this type of thing. Moderation is one element but community buy in is way more powerful
