I think it’s getting worse, but even my first post on Beehaw after the API exodus was followed by a big list of how I was doing everything wrong because I’m a woman.

That put me off Lemmy for a long time

I’ve edited the title.

Yes, I’m feeling aggressive.

I’m going to go back to reading comics. It’s a good escape from reality.

ok, I’ll edit the title

Is it shocking? Am I that desensitised? Because I saw it and just thought to myself “yeah, that’s about right”

I certainly find this much easier to process than yet another news story of women having various horrors put upon them right now.

I feel like I’m coming apart with each one. I don’t want know, but how can I not at least give them the dignity of knowing that it’s happening? Even while I sit here powerless to do anything about it.

Yes. And violence is all around us. And it’s not ok. And sometimes I feel like I could just explode from how I’m supposed to just accept or ignore that.

Okay. Would a text-based attempt to start a discussion of the violence meted out on women’s bodies be more acceptable?

It’s art. And social commentary. And subversive because of the noodiness.
