90% of it is just misandrist bait, and its just an echochamber of misandry.

Y’know I had a lot more respect for you before I read this comment.

The casual sexism allowed to proliferate on Lemmy is totally fine and dandy, but a single community for women is misandrist? Laughable.

Ooooo my bad, I've never looked at the community I have no idea. I swore I wrote If at the beginning of my statement. Gonna make an edit. Its a womens only space, why would I go there. I do believe everything else is wrote though.

[–] velma@sh.itjust.works 6 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Thanks for the clarification.

I still don’t consider women’s spaces inherently misandrist. It’s telling that there are some men in here who feel that way. Says way more about them and their insecurities than anything we’re doing in that community.

Talking about the struggles we face as women shouldn’t automatically make y’all so fucking defensive.

[–] Return_of_Chippy@lemmy.world 2 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah, you haven't said anything I disagree with.

[–] velma@sh.itjust.works 6 points 13 hours ago

I’m saying it out loud for the whole fucking class here.

[–] billnyethescienceguy@piefed.world 0 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

misandry is sexism

and im not concerned with the space, but with the things being posted

[–] velma@sh.itjust.works 5 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago) (2 children)

Trying to police what women talk about amongst ourselves?

You think it’s your place to tell us how to build our community? The ONLY community on Lemmy** that’s only for women? Our safe space?

[–] velma@sh.itjust.works 1 points 13 hours ago

Fucking autocorrect. Lemmy**

[–] billnyethescienceguy@piefed.world 0 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

im no police officer but I think the basic rules of civility and rules against bigotry should be followed by everyone, both men and women

[–] velma@sh.itjust.works 1 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

It’s telling that instead of trying to push back on the obvious and pervasive misogyny on this site, you’re attacking women.

[–] billnyethescienceguy@piefed.world -1 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

im not attacking women

im attacking misandry

[–] velma@sh.itjust.works 3 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

You’re misrepresenting what an entire community actually entails and trying to destroy it.

Why is women gathering together threatening to you?

[–] velma@sh.itjust.works 4 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

You’re never convincing us to not choose the bear. Especially not this way.

[–] billnyethescienceguy@piefed.world -2 points 13 hours ago (1 children)
[–] velma@sh.itjust.works 5 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Who the fuck knows what your goal is. I think you got your panties in a twist because you saw disobedient women.

[–] billnyethescienceguy@piefed.world -1 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

you keep accusing me of things and you claim that I am the one accusing you

[–] velma@sh.itjust.works 6 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago)

You lied. You’re actively lying about the womensstuff community by framing it as 90% misandry.

You’re a little liar.

[–] billnyethescienceguy@piefed.world -3 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

for the revolution, we need to unify as one People.

Gender wars do not lead to unity.

[–] velma@sh.itjust.works 6 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

accusing us of being misandrists is not the way to gain allies ffs

[–] billnyethescienceguy@piefed.world -2 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

echochambers of Bigotry are not good for the Revolution.

I saw one, I pointed it out

[–] velma@sh.itjust.works 5 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

I’m so fucking sick of this take.

Yeah of fucking course there’s a class struggle. There’s also a gender war here.

Chavez himself raped women and girls. Because he was a fighter for workers rights, does that mean there’s no problem with him forcing himself on women? It’s all just a class struggle at the end, right?

[–] billnyethescienceguy@piefed.world -3 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

chavez did something that was disgusting and immoral and devastating. its not a gender war, tho. Chavez should be punished.

[–] velma@sh.itjust.works 6 points 11 hours ago

He’s fucking dead.

Don’t be preaching to me about class unity if you don’t even know who César fucking Chavez is.

[–] billnyethescienceguy@piefed.world -2 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

when did I try to destroy it?

[–] velma@sh.itjust.works 4 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Sending out the bat signal to the rest of the men at Lemmy that there’s women that are gasp being critical of men will have our community brigaded.

We already deal with men trying to force their way in there.

[–] billnyethescienceguy@piefed.world -2 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

oh I forgot its the part of the internet where speaking your opinions is a call to harrass and brigade the EVIL people youre talking about. Srry

[–] velma@sh.itjust.works 4 points 12 hours ago

And now it’s happening. We’ve got men brigading the posts you pointed out.

Fucking thanks.
