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.

      among others that have been erased because women are being bullied into deleting threads and entire accounts.

          absolutely incorrect unfortunately. the comment you see as removed was a woman who deleted their entire account.

          “trolls gonna troll” is enabling language, just like “locker room talk,” or “boys will be boys,” so just… careful.

          If you’re going to dismiss all evidence as trolling then like… what are you doing asking for evidence? You’re enabling people by covering for them.
