I wrote a long and involved response to the idea that women just need to be more humble (passive and palatable) in these discussions and we'll be taken more seriously (hint: it's some grade A bullshit), but fuck it, I can't be bothered to engage this time. Instead:
To
Persephone, and also the other women contributors in this thread and similar ones: I've been intermittently reading this topic, and you got so much unwarranted shit, dumb accusations and nitpicking for even starting this thread, which is almost 5k comments deep and the shit keeps comin'. Even if any of you are just ranting or being 'unhelpful', know that I'm grateful you bother to still show up around these threads and it's always appreciated that you contribute your views. Seriously, this thread has seen a defender of animated child porn, fringe conspiracy theories, people accusing women of not knowing how their own anatomy works, and too many bad-faith arguments to count... woof. I know for a fact many women on this site are rendered too tired or anxious by the sea lioning, derailing and thinly veiled contempt to keep coming back. Thanks for sticking around.
I hope this isn't seen as derailing as that's not my intention...
something something Fire Emblem?
