@CKscullycat There's no simple explanation for anything important any of us do, and the human tragedy consists in the necessity of living with the consequences.
@CatladyBG@LirvaC@speakoutsister Would that we could go back to those halcyon days when a man would punch your lights out if you suggested he looked like a fuckin' pussy.
@CatladyBG@LirvaC@speakoutsister I can't begin to recount the number of times I've been walking down the street minding my own business when a car full of men has driven past with one of them leaning out of the window and yelling "Oi, luv, show us yer gametes!"
@Daviemoo I've heard people warn that the gender crits are just anti-feminists in disguise but I was not entirely convinced until I read this post. ๐คข
@eddieenjoyer Some antis, the really hateful ones, will inevitably transfer their hate onto Con and David J once it becomes clear Izzy is not what they've projected onto him.
@waltz_tales Good to hear! Sounds like this is going to be beneficial for everyone! Look after youself: struggles like this, while worthwhile, can be draining.
@waltz_tales @Cabanaboiscoot You're dealing with it very well, it sounds like to me. In my opinion the experienced participants have a duty of care over newcomers, and they do not seem to be fulfilling that duty if they are avoiding you rather than helping you deal with what you were experiencing.
@vickijohnson151@Nigella_Lawson@BootstrapCook Yup, I've just blocked people for the same reason. It's really freaking bizarre to me that there are people who expend so much effort into being hypercritical over a food poverty campaigner. What a weird fight to pick.
