Possibly the hardcore pervs who harrass women all the time. That causes many women to become so distrustful of all men here. As a result of that many women don't even want to open PM's. That limits their experience of this place.

This is a huge issue for me. I blow people off left and right here.@Wraithorn

@Keepitsimple I'm not surprised. I understand. I think that for anyone and especially women, using SW for any length of time takes a bit of courage.

@Wraithorn I personally haven't had issues of harassment myself. If I don't like something I just ignore or mute. Then only time I noticed that was the first week I joined and it's been fine ever since.

@ravenwind43 Well I'm glad to hear that. Although judging by what other women say it is still an ongoing problem.

@Wraithorn I am sure it is. I use the mild adult setting here and I imagine that that helps.

@ravenwind43 As a man I don't find it necessary to use any limiting settings. Pervs leave me alone. It really is a man's world isn't it ?

@Wraithorn Well I don't do it just because of men. There are pervy women here too. I could care less about "look at me" selfie posts of body parts. Being on the mild setting cuts out 90% of it. I get hit on by more "lesbians" than I do men even though I say I am straight. (Some of them are likely men posing as women.) I don't think this terrible oppression of women exists here or in America. (Other countries absolutely it does).🙂
Another issue is a woman's perception of "harrassment." One might take mere words highly offensively, others might get anxious, or others just shrug and ignore and mute. A woman's response to the guy or girls message is a big factor in how it affects them, and that depends on their psychological make up.

@ravenwind43 Ok, that's some good food for thought, thanks for taking the time.
