Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That is quite remarkable.
"When you're accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression."
As a white cis hetero American male, trying to have a little empathy is literally the least I can do.
Yeah that was part of my attitude back when I thought I was one of y’all. The other was that it sure seemed like one side wanted a world that sounded nice to live in and it wasn’t the one selling power over others.
Like yeah change is scary, and I’m sure that cishet white guys who are struggling already hate being told they have privilege especially as it’s often portrayed as some get out of everything free card instead of just that the dice are weighted and that certain problems aren’t going to be a concern to you. I know because I definitely had those knee jerk reactions.
But both sides have their buzzkill side and their party side. It’s just that one presents a future that kinda feels worth living in ya know. Like even when I thought I was a cishet guy instead of none of those things I still didn’t want my future wife to have to deal with misogyny or to have to give up on any of her hopes or dreams or anything. It’s difficult and sad to live a life in which you don’t love anyone who is marginalized in some way.
Equality != Equity
It's not mega surprising seeing what conservatives are trying to impose on women. It's more surprising they have any significant female support whatsoever.
Yeah I agree. I'm always shocked to hear about conservative women, like Moms for Liberty, etc.
I think it just comes down to people being largely a product of their environment. In any case I'm glad to see this trend in women, but pretty disappointed that more men aren't apparently capable of empathy.
Look at the age of them. Most of them are past the point where they have to worry about being on food stamps or being pregnant. It is a great example of climbing the ladder and pulling it up behind you.
