      Men arent welcome in this community, it’s not on the community to continue to be sweet and appeasing in the face of repeated rule breaking and disrespect.

      Why are you not telling the men breaking the rules and imposing themselves on us to shut up? Why should we shut up in our own community that we have built?

        The community you’ve built pushes supporters away. If that’s your goal, then good job

          If the “supporters” can’t even tolerate a single space for women to talk, then they’re not so much “supporters” as they are, you know, the status quo.

          Fuck off and stop posting against the rules.

          Only when men flagrantly break the rules here. It’s easy to see when men do so accidentally and politely back out.

          Men don’t get to come in here and drop sexist comments and then cry when we object.

            Actual supporters will note that if they accidentally post here they’re politely reminded of the rules. Actual supporters then back away and move to where their posting is within the rules.

            It’s only the manosphere assholes who come charging in all RAH! and then proceed to ignore the rules repeatedly after being told.

            Like this manosphere asshole.

            What an impossibly difficult rule to enforce. Sexist too, while we’re at it. But whatever. You keep doing you, queen

              It does seem that some men find it impossibly difficult to follow the rules around here, I agree.

                Cmon now. You put a publically advertised forum that gets displayed everywhere and then you gatekeep people based on their perceived gender. There’s no way for you to check their gender and let’s face it, people are not going to read the rules of every forum they visit, especially for Lemmy. You’re being unfair and if you can’t see that, then there’s no hope for you.

                  I don’t get it either. It is like building your “safe space” on a highway and then complain about the drive-bys.

                  The technology is inherently not made for the way it is used here so I guess it is more a powermove.

                  “I was oppressed in my life and so now I do it to the people that oppressed me”

                  Otherwise this doesn’t make sense to me.

                    If the technology isn’t made to be used to allow communities to set their own rules, why is following the rules of a community an inherent part of participating in the fediverse?

                    Would you similarly insist on being allowed to participate in a women’s book club? Women’s hour at the local pool?

                  Isn’t everyone expected to follow the rules of the communities they’re posting and commenting in?

                    In fact most Lemmy instances have a pretty bog standard terms of service/community rules/whatever that specifically say this, yes. That not only must they abide by the rules of their instance but that they must also abide by the rules of the group.

                    But this concern troll (who is certain that we’re “making feminism look bad” by telling men who barge into a women’s space uninvited and against the rules to fuck off) barges into a women’s space uninvited to concern troll and is shocked … SHOCKED! … to find that some of us are fed up to the fucking gills with his kind and tell him to fuck off.

      Your behaviour is why men think they can do whatever they like regardless of the rules. Shut up for your own sake.
