what's the deal with a bunch of lemmy.world subs being abandoned by its mods and founders?

Fool. Everyone knows girls are into linux, blahaj, D&D, post-ironic memes, technopunk subgenres, summoning demons, and stripey socks

Not saying we're not into it :D

Just that there's stuff besides that then men certainly wouldn't enjoy. I don't think anyone here cares about lashes or what eyeshadow palette just released lmao

Just feels like stereotyping to me. I know lots of people who go against that mold because I'm part of the queer community where there's more diversity. It seems like your problem is less an absence of girls and more a presence of patriarchal conditioning on the population here.

I try to analyse gendered statements like this from the perspective of "can every gender say something similar to this in a perfect world". And since I've only ever met one other person with my gender, it would be unreasonable of me to expect there to be more people of my gender here. I need to find a better way of saying that sort of thing, and doing so taught me there's a better way of saying what you did too
