I miss the kindness of EP ❤

SW can be a moody mean place - yikes 😬

You can only vote on one answer.

THATS the main difference between SW and why a lot of us long for the magic of EP. It’s was hilarious weird but always kind and compassionate in my experience.

I will preface further posts with: be gentle !!

Divorce and relationships can be cruel…sometimes we are here to vent and look for support.

I will keep my history of posts so you can see what I mean - won’t be childish enough to call out and block anyone but geez. Mercy I have some tough days but I’ll be ok. End rant

EP was uncensored until the last year or two. As such, there was plenty of *cough* content to allow for *cough* release. Yeah, that should be subtle enough.

So, while, as a female on EP, I recieved the occasional unwelcome message and sometimes needed to block men, it was not that common.

The men here are awful. Words aren't enough to describe how vile they are. So, for the very, very few good ones here, it takes a lot to trust enough to give them a chance.

I make no judgment on you as an individual. But were you to try to interact with me privately in any way, my lack of response would be the product of the literal hundreds of men here that have come before you. I've use all 500 of my blocks. I unblock the oldest block and hope they aren't around any more every time I need to block a new person.

This makes me less likely to engage any men on here even in the comments. Show any kindness, any willingness to communicate, and the most likely result is a guy that stalks all your future content. That will jump in on a back and forth set of comments between friends. That will leave innuendos. That will leave whiteboard posts and gifts with creepy messages.

I'm not describing the select few bad guys. This is the norm.

Sorry for the rant, but you asked.

@RosaMarie thank you that is just awful. I can’t imagine how exhausting it must be as a woman to try to feel safe under all of life’s conditions but especially here in cyber world.
Yes internet has gotten more cold and seedy in the past decade ….may you say safe and still be seen heard and respected on here. On your side 🤜🏾🤛🏼
