I’m a cisgendered woman who stutters, and I’ve noticed the same thing about this sub. I will say that dating apps generally seem to have more men on them than women, so it seems like the odds for men are worse to begin with - and the stutter just makes it harder. There could be a bit of a self-fulfilling prophesy thing going on here, though… sometimes it seems like the posts are “the odds are against me so I’m not even going to try.” And I wonder how much of my empathy toward the male stutterers is actually some sort of deep-rooted misogyny I feel within myself… it’s a lot to wrestle with!
