Lemmy is a worse platform for women than Reddit was EDIT this link is an OLD POST that contains my thesis on the state of lemmy and is not the context of the much more recent comment in the screenshot. sorry for any confusion caused by this juxtaposition, my main goal with having this linked is to expose how nothing has improved
You seem really invested in this being an example of sexism, regardless of what any evidence suggests. It seems incredibly disingenuous to take the most downvoted response and hold it up as emblematic. I’m sure that you can find plenty of real evidence of sexism on the platform and you don’t need to resort to cherrypicking.
Also, on tone policing, I was just telling you what it looks like other people decided to do based on context clues.
“Woman is not made for having sex. Woman is person.”
You’re doing a jig around this statement to refute the idea people weren’t hostile to the person who said this :)
Hostility to a person is not hostility to a message. There were other people saying the same thing and getting upvoted for it :)
No no but that comment boiled it down to a few clear cut words, no bullshit. And that’s the controversial part; the truth of the statement. ‘No cunt indefinitely’ is three words so personally I like it better.
Nobody in that thread wants to listen to a woman actually speak when they can talk over her and feel good about themselves. When she put it plainly they downvoted her. Pretty obvious.
CW misogynist language but for a pro feminist joke
call it 4c instead, cunt cancelled considerably & collectively
