lemmy stop silencing SA survivors rule

The number of examples I have seen of people being told to shut up about their lived experiences with sexual abuse in the past 24 hours on this platform is deeply disturbing.

I am calling on y’all to take a deep breath and listen to women for once. There is a time and place for tone policing and it’s never the very minute a woman speaks up.

—disclaimer do not harrass or brigade—

edit fine since you all won’t do me the decency of clicking on my name before you spam “doubt”

do not harrass or brigade, mods please just remove this comment if people start being bad

among others that have been erased because women are being bullied into deleting threads and entire accounts.

Trolls gonna troll. And one of the links listed had the troll comment removed.

absolutely incorrect unfortunately. the comment you see as removed was a woman who deleted their entire account.

“trolls gonna troll” is enabling language, just like “locker room talk,” or “boys will be boys,” so just… careful.

If you're going to dismiss all evidence as trolling then like... what are you doing asking for evidence? You're enabling people by covering for them.

The meme itself is very... exploitable to the Angry Jacks of the world because of this pattern they exibit. They will bend themselves in knots in an attempt to resolve their emotional outbursts.

This is very interesting analysis! If you haven’t, I recommend you pop over to this post I made which is about the rhetoric of this meme :)
