Hey all! A male supporter has offered to open a community called WomensStuffSupporters that all genders can reply to. That gives men somewhere to show support that isn’t here and also make here easier to moderate.
There’s the option to X post from one to another, which is wouldn’t want to happen automatically as some people wouldn’t like that.
What do you all think of the idea? I’ll leave this post up for a while before a decision is made.
Edit: you can message me if you don’t want to say publicly. I won’t let people know you contacted me, I’d just potentially say someone messaged saying they did/didn’t want it
I really don’t think it’s that with him, I’ve chatted with him and his comment history is positive. His thinking was it would reduce the shit we get here and support us. I’m sure he’s offered with only good intentions
Oh there may very much be great intentions, but unconscious bias is very much a thing.
Mentioned this to my partner, his immediate response was a face like a sucked lemon and “doesn’t that defeat the purpose though?”
Doesn’t it? We have a comm where we ask that men don’t participate, they cracked the shits as they so often do, so now we’re discussing building them a little playpen mirror so their little sookie egos can be soothed. One again we have to be the bigger adult and make room.
Why pander? I like this planet. They can get off it.
Thanks for commenting! I understand your perspective. The guy seems legit, and a big part of his reason is to reduce moderation here.
