it's so fucking funny to me that every single non-vetted online space is directly violent towards women, especially if we try to build our own communities, doubly so if those communities are based in pro-female politics and female issues.
the only time women are "accepted" on the internet (and i use that term very, very loosely) is when males can consume us as objects of porn.
reddit allows subreddits where males jerk off to lesbians being raped, fantasies about domestic violence and pedophilia and bestiality—but if female homosexuals want our own group for discussion it gets banned within weeks. the CEO of reddit was a mod for the "jailbait" sub, notorious for posting images of barely-legal girls with pre-pubescent attributes for males to jerk off to, that only got banned once their degeneracy was exposed by national news networks.
female-centric tags on tumblr are overrun with males derailing our conversations: threats of violence, wishing death upon us, spamming nonsensical ragebait. but the tags involving violent male fantasies about raping lesbians, murdering and raping women, raping children, raping corpses, raping animals, fantasizing about being a little girl getting raped—those are left untouched.
males are allowed their own spaces all over the internet. they advertise their paraphilias on every major social media platform with little-to-no backlash; when they graduate to real victims, women are there to condemn their behavior, to provide mountains of evidence of male-pattern violence, but nobody listens. ultimately, when the rest of society can't ignore the issue any longer, women are blamed for male deviance. nothing happens. rinse and repeat.
but wait a minute... if women are the ones holding these predators accountable, and pro-female spaces are routinely silenced and buried, then perhaps, maybe, just maybe, these males know exactly what the fuck they're doing. our existence directly threatens their privilege. our knowledge directly threatens their mission of keeping as many women as possible ignorant to their widespread predation, and the methods they use to victimize us. centuries of global patriarchal history prove the lengths males will go to keep us second-class.
ALWAYS REMEMBER: an educated woman is terrifying. their anger, their violent threats, their attempts to silence us means we're doing something right.
