I am indeed talking about yesterday. I notice when people are quick to silence women speaking up but never say anything to the men breaking the rules. There have been times I’ve been told the bickering in this comm is not pleasant, but the alternative is allowing men to force their sexist opinions in here with no one speaking out against it to show it’s not ok.
9/10 posts here are the most pleasant conversations I’ve seen on this platform.
I appreciate the backup when they’re not.
People who choose their battles still have my respect, not everyone has the energy for negative interactions. I don’t mind silence as much as picking the wrong side.
Actually yeah, I’m all for people choosing their battles and that line in my comment is rigid. Silence in the face of the offense while trying to silence others is more about complicity than just silence.

Silence is complicity imo.

I’ll try to call it out more like others have
