    There has been a serious regression over the last ten years or so. I thought that 2010-2016 era online was the worst of it, with gamergate and all, but I see a lot of the same sentiment again these days.

    IDLES has a great verse in the song ‘Mother’ that resonates with me:

    Sexual violence doesn’t start and end with rape / It starts in our books and behind our school gates / Men are scared women will laugh in their face / Whereas women are scared it’s their lives men will take /

            Just asking if you’d seen them before commenting. I’ve run into you before elsewhere.

            That is to say, I usually see you in the politics comms. Fascism isn’t really a topic that’s brought up here.

              Unless it’s an incredibly niche community I usually don’t read the rules before commenting.

              Yeah I have vague memories of you calling me mysogenist despite me being an egalitarian, lol.

                Yeah this is a women’s only community and no politics.

                You do enjoy ruffling feathers lol

                  Oh shit, my bad! I didn’t know it was women’s only. Also no politics in a women’s only sub? That seems strange to me. Not my place to say though, I’ll let you guys alone. Thanks for gently explaining to me, lol.
