This user describes how most of the women-centered communities on Lemmy were shut down due to harassment of their members.

Another user adds "We need a safe space, but most of the women I know on here don’t have the time or energy to moderate it. And there’s so few of us, it feels like it’s not worth the effort anyway."

There are simply too many differing viewpoints, by design

The instances which support women don't have to federate with the instances whose viewpoint is that harassing women is fine.

Maybe they should, but it's not going to be a black and white issue for most admins. There's a reason instances like blahaj and yiffit exist. A space like that for women would be the most realistic way to get the protections for female users in the fediverse that you're saying should exist.
