  so can we get a community for whites only?

  source

  • spankmonkey@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    What a horribly stupid question to ask.

    Women and minority only spaces exist because white men as a group have historically discriminated against them, including by having men only and even whites only spaces. That kind of history never goes away really, because bigotry is frequently handed down from generation to generation even if some people are able to break the trend.

  Any space that is publicly available is a public space.

  That goes for the internet, too.

  Segregation does not lead to good things.

  If it is bad for incels to form men only spaces that inevitably will lead to their bigoted rhetoric being unchecked and validated, then it is bad for any other group to do that based on sex, gender, or race.

    anything that excludes you is a “echo chamber circlejerk”? that’s a pretty harmful way to think. You should do some introspection and double-check if this is a mentality you want to live your life by.

      This is such a shallow and stupid way of thinking. Was this your best strawman argument?

      You should do some introspection and double-check if this is a mentality you want to live your life by.

      I do. I generally look at groups who disregard or make fun of others purely based on race or gender as not mentally healthy places to be in, like incel subreddits.

      The formula tends to also be quite simple - take something a man/woman says, then find a funny counter-argument in the thread, screenshot the two together and you got a post. Does not matter which gender we’re talking about, it’s pretty much always the same. Some reddit subreddits were borderline extremist in this approach, showing signs of aggression or calls for violence towards women.

  easy self-check for these things:

  if the answer is not the same for all the groups you can reasonably think of, something about your morals is off.

  not everyone will agree whether X is OK to do. but at least you can detect, whether you are biased yourself.

• AlDente@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

  I personally shy away from the idea of binary labels. Whenever you have two opposing extremes, I find hard to believe that someone can be the 100% embodiment of one and 0% of the other. Whether it’s ‘authoritarian/libertarian’, ‘left/right’, ‘straight/gay’, ‘neurotypical/neurodivergent’, or dare I say, ‘male/female’, I see all of these as a spectrum. Whenever binary opposites exist, I believe we all fall somewhere in the middle.

  To say that someone is 0% man or 0% woman seems to reinforce the idea that these labels are based on physical characteristics, concrete, and/or absolute. If you believe that personal identity is fluid, and that change is constant, then how can you reckon with the idea of someone being 100% either? It won’t be possible to swing upward passed 100%, so the only other option is down; into the gray area and constantly wavering over time.

  As for myself, I might have been born with a penis, but have plenty of characteristics that I would not consider “manly.” I strongly prefer to sit on a toilet to rather than use a urinal, I’ve worn a skirt around my home and fantasized about having breasts and beautiful hair, and my Spotify wrapped from last year classified me as a “pink Pilates princess”. I’m absolutely not presenting these to declare myself a woman, but I suspect each of these admissions would diminish my standing as “man”, especially in a non-anonymous environment.

  If anyone was ever unsure about their gender identity, experimenting, or just non-committal to a binary gender assignment, I can see how a having another individual assign this black/white classification on them (and banning them as a consequence) would be incredibly stressful and harmful to their wellbeing. With how gray gender identity can be, it is no surprise if someone in this mindset doesn’t push back with a claim of the opposite binary choice; the sex on their birth certificate. I believe this kind of moderation serves to reinforce conservative societal norms and discourage empathy across the gender spectrum.

  I pulled a ban commenting before I knew they were in full echo chamber mode. Nothing of value has been lost. The whole thing though begs the question are there men only places on lemmy? So I can block them as well.

    • Itdidnttrickledown@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      No, I’m pretty sure its how I meant it. I responded to some post about how they as woman were under no obligation to be polite if a man made them nervous. I’m under no obligation to make them comfortable if they are rude and hostile for me just existing in the same space as them. I have never harmed a woman and for the most part ignore them. I have no physical desire for anyone and haven’t had any for nearly twenty years. They can hate me for existing but I don’t have to respect them for it. I don’t have to make them feel safe.

  fuck that bullshit. while they do have the right to exclude who they want, i have the right to be harshly critical. and i will say that any community where one is compelled to disclose any part of their identity as a requirement to participate is a toxic one. i suspect any account is subject to being pressured into proving they aren’t a man if the mods want to harass someone that way. this is why i am not and will never be a feminist in a million years.

    this is why i am not and will never be a feminist in a million years.

    while i get your sentiment, there’s a lot of difference between feminism as it’s practiced today and feminism as it should be.

    i do think that females are superior creatures and deserve all the admiration and respect

    but the way it’s currently implemented is horseshit bullshit. it revolves too much around mocking men and creating an artificial and unnecessary schism in society instead of making sure that everybody can lead a good life, including strong social safety nets (economically) and advocating for things that benefit everyone.

  Stupid expectation to have. If they want women posts/comments only, lemmy needs a feature for communities not to be advertised on the main page unless subscribed, to keep people from accidentally replying. Or does that feature exist and they are intentionally not using it?

  The way i see it, the right to free speech is a two-sided thing. If there’s a right to free speech for one side, there’s also a right not to listen for the other side. It’s ok to block a community to not have to see their content if you’re not allowed to talk back at them.
