In no way discounting her experience, but it's almost like she's a woman and not a man and she sees things from the woman's perspective.
It's a cruel reality, and without having to do a battle of the sexes comparison, everybody gets this bullshit, regardless of gender identity or sex.
Ever been a man and walked into a woman's online space and see the bullshit that goes on there, the horrible accusations, derogatory dialogue? Ever been falsely accused of sexual impropriety by a woman who's just looking to hold power?
People are assholes, and when you go on a platform filled with assholes, they're going to be assholes. Solution, stop going to those places and live in the real world.
Yes, and it's miles better than most men's online spaces
yeah right, how dare she!!!!!!!! the audacity of females these days, talking about their problems. unbelievable!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
you’re no better than the shitheads this article is about. fuck you and your "both sides" nonsense.
Agreed with you until this point. You realize the people online are the same people from real life, right?
That's not how it works, perhaps you might want to close your apps for a few weeks and live in the real world and then you will realize it is nothing like the online spaces.
I might be wrong but it just seems like you stopped short of saying “not all men”. Did you forget that bit?
I would encourage you to read what is said and try to understand it, versus taking this tired, feeble, accusatory approach.
