A Reddit user (who wished to remain anonymous) decided to conduct a social media experiment on the website’s AmITheAsshole subreddit, after stumbling upon a post that received around 2,000 upvotes and more than 600 comments from the community.

The post, made by a woman, explained how her husband was forcing her to give him a blowjob.

The post immediately began getting responses from disgusted redditors. Almost everyone was in unison in bashing the husband for forcing the woman to do something she clearly didn’t want to. Here are some of the responses. This user stated the obvious and branded the husband as being a terrible person, and rightfully so.

One raging redditor let her know what she thought of her husband for forcing her against her wishes.

A string of responses followed and pretty much everyone had the same thing to say: Her body, her choice. Plus he was being an absolute jerk for making these demands.

Upon reading the responses, the redditor decided to conduct a little experiment and made a similar post on the same subreddit after a couple of days. The post pretty much says the exact same thing that the woman mentioned in her post, with a minor difference: the genders were reversed.

Many regular lurkers noticed what the user was doing, and ridiculed him for conducting this experiment. The post began getting downvoted but not before getting a bunch of eye opening responses. Let’s check them out!

This user rightfully said that the guy isn’t an asshole for not wanting to go down on his wife. But they added that by doing this, he is “depriving his wife of something really special and meaningful and private”!

When the guy responds with how he simply finds it gross, another redditor chimes in and asks him to seek therapy and try to think from her point of view.

One user doesn’t present their opinion on whether the guy is an asshole or not, but they throw in a couple of questions on why the guy doesn’t like going down on his wife. The user ends it with stating that it can be a turn ON for him when she enjoys what he’s doing to her.

This user tries to be neutral but still ends up suggesting that this kind of situation can make the wife feel shitty about herself, and that’s the reason she left the house. Although they try to advise him on how he should try some other positions to pleasure her, other than oral.

Another user hurls insults straight away and calls the guy, ‘a fragile little flower’. When asked how, the user doesn’t respond.

This redditor advises him that he should be “willing to do things that he doesn’t like doing for her”. If he doesn’t, he is a selfish person.

After a while, the moderators locked the thread and deleted every comment on it. The red background on the second post suggests that it has been deleted.

It should be noted that moderators on multiple subreddits on the website have been called out by users in the past, accusing them of censoring posts that don’t coincide with their ideals and preferences.

There was even a post on the subreddit named UnpopularOpinion, bashing Reddit mods for being biased and misusing their authority. The post garnered more than 23k upvotes and is still one of the highest upvoted posts in the sub. Here’s the post if you wish to read it:

The stark difference between the two posts exposes the utter hypocrisy of modern society, and the only thing one can conclude after reading these two posts is that if a man demands favours from his wife forcefully, he is a terrible person and a sorry excuse for a human being.

But if a woman does this to her husband, well, he should stop being selfish and consider looking at the situation from his wife’s perspective.
