At least online, anonymity plays a part, but the discussions seem to have a lot of masculine energy to them. Is it maybe also like music, chess, or comedy where socialization plays a role in the male dominance?

I remember 60% of Bernie's constituency was female, but it doesn't seem to translate online. How can we work to attract more women to the movement?

    ugh, I was typing a reply to you and @TG_TrashGirl when I got some weird harassment and she'd deleted her account by the time I got back to finish writing... uuurggggh, we've gotta stop this bleeding or we're all just going to get fed up and leave...

        this week... my inbox has been obnoxious for almost a full week now. I can't even link half the horrible shit cause it's targeted and creepy af or so bigoted it'll trigger a bunch of unsuspecting people. I know it's mostly the crowd we shooed back to stupidpol and their friends but there's enough bullshit here to go around without them. so yeah, very, very frustrated, even though I'm extremely glad the bans happened.

            you too :af-heart:. I keep going cause I want this to be a space for all of us and I'm so angry and sad that it continuously falls short.
