I like going through all the posts like these so I can tag people who whine about how men have it so hard or whatever incel nonsense they spout to derail. I always end up with at least 5 new users tagged (across a spectrum of descriptors). They just.. there are so many of them.. everywhere..

It’s not a blocklist, it’s just information tags.

🤷🏻 you do you fam.
I’m under no delusion that people aren’t tagging me if their platform allows it. I just don’t care, because it’s a nice way to keep track of who is who and what they are like, the way faces or voices work in person. If someone wants to tag me as an asshole, or whatever, they will.
I try not to be one, of course, but I have zero control over how people perceive me so I don’t really care.

I do deradicalisation work with men I find IRL or online, I think there’s a better way for men, but they’re actively pyoped into voting and acting against their own interests.
Can’t express how many of them (at least in my country) point to memes like this as “see, feminism just wants to shame men, it’s not about equality, I’m gonna vote for (insert Christofascist that wants Handmaiden’s Tale IRL) because he ‘stands up for my rights’”.
The creeps that you mention don’t care that you’re mean to them, they also can’t be convinced to change their political stance, they’re irrecoverable misogynists.
Unless you plan to form an armed paramilitary of radfems (which would be cool), I see yelling about “triggered men” as a pretty bad political strategy, because it alienates exactly the guys that are on the fence and could be convinced to abandon internalised misogyny and become feminists. Feminists already don’t get triggered by this, creeps don’t care.

Conversely if you are this triggered by a neutral response to a shitpost maybe switch to a social media that just doesn’t allow replies?
