For those out of the loop, WomensStuff has a women-only rule, where men are respectfully asked to not reply to posts.

      Oh yeah, whenever I see men whining and complaining about something to do with women, I feel this sense of euphoric calm; this feeling of ‘I remember this. I’m not part of that group anymore. They don’t speak for me.’

      It has a tinge of melancholy afterwards, because I still have to deal with men, yet I feel less embarrassed for myself.

          It’s true, I should spend less time here on Lemmy.

          EDIT: If you think I haven’t heard/experienced those things on Lemmy, oh boy do I have bad news for you. I’ve had to make multiple accounts for every time a bunch of MGTOW guys decide to spam my account with messages/downvotes, so I’m used to it. Downvote away :)

        Do you/did you feel that random members of a demographic “speak for you”? Why would that be the case for people you have nothing in common with except some amount of genetic material?
