Men are apparently more often blocked here on SW than women, and for the most incomprehensible reasons.

@helenS I am an equal opportunity blocker . 😌😌😌

I seem to get blocked often by angry men during political discussions. I’m always polite and not an extremist. I maybe don’t see things their way? 🤷🏽‍♂️ @helenS

helenS · 36-40, F

@jackjjackson I've always seen you as a kind and polite person. And politics has always divided people. 😕

TexChik · F

@helenS true but that’s not why I block .

helenS · 36-40, F

@TexChik I thought you are quite thick-skinned?

@helenS I do have ptsd … poking that bear is never pleasant . Foul language , bullying, propaganda , sexual perversion, threats , sexual advances , pedophilia , etc are all things I can choose to avoid on my social media . 🤷🏻‍♀️

Indeed I do have a thick skin. I was pointing out that it’s not always women blocking men. I’ve never been blocked by a woman. Everything I’ve seen that you’ve written is thoughtful, insightful and kind. @helenS

@jackjjackson You're more than a bit assertive, well, that was my own impression

jackjjackson · 61-69, M

Agreed. I advocate when necessary. I don’t recall ever conversing you so you are perhpa in the stalker/troll category? @val70

val70 · 51-55

@jackjjackson Oh right? Well, I see that you checked your steps back. I thought right at the time then. But never mind politeness indeed

jackjjackson · 61-69, M

Nice to make your acquaintance. @val70

val70 · 51-55

@jackjjackson Likewise

Evened · 51-55, M

@jackjjackson Ib my opinion, the problem nowadays is the lack of acceptance of other points of view, blocking is way easier.

@Evened Sad thing. 😕
Talking to oneself exclusively...

How did things get this way? It used to be that people were fine to be friends even though they might not agree 100% on everything. @Evened @helenS
