lemmy stop silencing SA survivors rule
(lemmy.cafe)
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.
There's a viral meme whereby women are put to the question of "if you were trapped in the woods would you rather be trapped with man or trapped with a bear?" Because a bear is always dangerous whereas men can only occasionally be a dangerous (and possibly something about a man being able to fight off a bear, depending on the source). It's a dumb hypothetical made up by dumb people to try to redeem toxic masculinity.
