There seems a misogyny of vilification on this site

The site owners and operators ought to watch out for these individuals who think that it is their job and their right to persecute women who use the site to find fellowship with others who have had similar experiences in whatever group or forum, and to try to discredit them.

If this site wants to develop along the same as Facebook or other social media successes it needs to monitor abusers and identify the types of abuse they perpetuate before they get deaths and suicides besmirch this one and risk the potential for the future of the site as a place for discussion and wholesome comparisons in line with the name of this site.

I am not sure if my English is clear and correct in form but I hope it is understandable.

Clear enough! This is not only an issue for women. This is supposed to be a safe site to share experiences, thoughts, and emotions, but too often sincere posts get reactions of judgement or sarcasm. I do encourage you and everyone to use the delete and block options as much as necessary!
By the way, why not post in your native language? Spanish is an official language on here , and there is no law against using others.

@ThePatientAnarchist I’m Italian 🇮🇹 and my dialect is Sicilian. I think using the linguafranca enables me to be understood by more people (those who know how to use and understand English)

@Ximenajacoba that is probably true. I would love to see some posts from you in Sicilian though!

The misogyny and sexism on this site get me very angry.

The posts and responses sexualizing children and promoting incest or sexual assault get me angry.

The posts and responses displaying racial hatred get me angry.

The people who read sincere posts with which they disagree and respond using mockery and immature insults get me angry.

And as a result of all this, it is often the nice people who end up leaving, and that gets me upset too. The haters win.

There are times I have to take a break from here and just calm down.

A big part of the problem is people having multiple profiles.....and as far as Women are concerned.....I love them but about 85% of the women that are here....aren't women....They are either men or teenage boys that say they are female but they aren't sadly!!!

@Nevertooold I have spoken with people here who present as women but as you get to talk with them you can tell they are men!

It is probably better if posts are NOT censored by the management. By all means call out the perpetrators you discover but don't give them the satisfaction of taking what they write as serious or damaging. Rise above negativity - they are trolls after all, not credible or threatening in any real sense.

@Maturebate i agree, most people here just like to talk,

@Maturebate i totally agree with you. We need to police ourselves. I have received my share of scams, especially, but I do not wish for any third party to be reading my messages and telling me what i can or cannot discuss. Block or call out offenders, or ignore them.

Maturebate · 70-79, M

@Docdon23 absolutely!

Misogyny is everywhere and sometimes from people you least expect it.

@FoxyGoddess There's a lot of misandry too.

FoxyGoddess · 51-55, F

@NortiusMaximus Okay, but this post is about misogyny.

It cuts both ways.
