The number of examples I have seen of people being told to shut up about their lived experiences with sexual abuse in the past 24 hours on this platform is deeply disturbing.

I am calling on y’all to take a deep breath and listen to women for once. There is a time and place for tone policing and it’s never the very minute a woman speaks up.

I appreciate that, friend. I hope my comment didn't come off as flippant. I absolutely believe you've seen the shit you're railing against, I just haven't seen it (on Lemmy) myself.
