The idea itself is flawed because the danger is the men and their perception. Speaking in societal terms.

Am a cis male by the way and hope its okay to weigh in. Don't want to seem like I am mansplaining. I am sure everybody here knew this already but I wanted to say it out loud anyways.

    No it is not OK to weigh in. Rule #1 should have told you that.

    But you absolutely had to weigh in, didn't you? Your male perspective is so all-fired important that rules are for weaklings, right?

    Ya seriously. How dare he voice an agreeing opinion on an unrestricted, open forum. What an asshole he is. s/

    Someone else didn't read the rules, or else he would have known the forum is not unrestricted.

    How dare a mere WOMAN tell a MAN off for breaking the rules?

    Live with it, manchild.

    What a sexist board, blocked. Imagine if we had a male-only board. The entire fediverse would burn it to the ground.

    Y’know for all the bad that Reddit contains, it did make it clear that it’s very possible to have men’s and women’s subreddits without burning any of them to the ground.

    Women gathering together without men isn’t sexist.

    There are male geared communities on lemmy, they just don't have to explicitly ban women because we're such a small demographic and we don't have fragile little baby egos. Oh no, did the women want to talk without you? Poor whiney bitch boy. The internet is already a safe space for men.

    He knew the rules and purposefully broke them.

    Lady Butterfly already told you the rules and asked you to refrain from commenting further, but here you are.

    Please respect the rules for this community and use this as a reminder to check which comm you’re in when commenting.

    I didn't read the rules. True. That is, in my opinion, not a males thing but a lazy thing because sometimes I just hit subscribe for something I would likento learn more about.

    Yes I broke them. Sorry.

    Loud and impolite women are asked to keep it down more frequently than men. Systemic problem. You are still annoying and that just down to your character and not the gender you identify with.

    Now I will shut up. And yes I had to weigh in with this comment.

    Translation: You knew the rules this time, and still felt the need to break them because your precious feelings got hurt by a, and I quote, "loud and impolite woman".

    But there's no sublimated misogyny here in the slightest.

    Calling a woman annoying for calling you out in a group where your voice was never wanted? Were you born with an ego that paper thin or do you just have a problem with shutting the hell up?
