One is being exercised as a demonstration and if there were places for women, like gyms it would be out of a feeling for a need for safety. The other was used to implement and maintain a foundationally masculine and abusive structure of power.
It was but it was more krass so I reworded it and went at it again. ;)
Thank you. The reaction to this is vile. Thousands of years of bullshit for being a woman, one art exhibit, and now the dudes are screaming about re-restricting public space to women as if they came up with a thought provoking exercise.
Yup. Thousands of years of female exclusion - and it still continues in circles to this day, but one museum and now they're crying about basically re-excluding women from everything as a "thought exercise."
Good luck, girl. The manosphere cannot take even a milligram of its own medicine without losing their shit.
Ok? I thought the trash stayed on reddit. Apparently not.
|You would likely be screaming about the sexism from the top of your lungs if a business refused to take women as customers|
When has anything women had to say mattered to structures of power, though? Kind of the whole point to any of this.
Was just saying how I wish there were women only gyms because I don't feel comfortable in coed gyms. Men are fucking creeps and do not respect personal space in my gym going experience. The reason there are no women only gyms in California is because men's rights groups sued them for discrimination. So basically there aren't any safe places to go to the gym for people like me.
edit: good to see the lack of reciprocity or willingness to look at this issue for what it actually is from certain instances.
It helps maintain the salt content...
I am so sick of fascism. Will there ever be a time in our lifetimes that it won't be as thick?
Honestly, this was a helpful comment. And now I am super extra charged to vote Jimmy Gomez out.
It is 100% way overdue to take a lot of tech away from these cunts and make it public infrastructure.
So this means they can't attack Rafah now, right? Right? Since they went back on their retaliation agreement and all...
Didn't the US just "give Rafah" to Isntreal as an agreement that Isrealhell won't retaliate on Iran?
Right? Do people not know?
This is the correct answer.
I was just gonna say how fucking ironic it is the US became full on Nazis after defeating them 70 years ago. I know Amurica secretly gave the Nazi scientists a place to hide after WWII but what we've become is next level. Or maybe we've always been this way and it's just become more evident. Either way, this backing of genocide, killing semitic people using the name of semetic people is white supremacist as fuck.
What do you use?
Thoughts on pinboard's viability?
Been using Marcin's beautifully created bookmark manager since yahoo killed delicious. It was yahoo that bought it right? I digress. Anyway, I've been paying for his service since he mentioned it would be helpful if the old users also contributed BUT the site's downtime has been rough and unpredictable lately. It's just worrying mostly because Marcin doesn't seem to be minding the incoming questions. Emails go ignored. He doesn't seem to upkeep his pinboard focused google group either. He is active on twitter but one needs a twitter account to see twitter anymore so that's not helpful for non twitter account holders. I'm just generally concerned. Any pinboard users here? It's probably time to start running my own bookmark system isn't it? Your thoughts on the stability of pinboard?
Maybe I should change my name...

Is there really no way to turn off iCloud notifs from emailing you?
I don't want to use the iCloud storage but it did end up somehow uploading an amount of my photos, not completely using up the free storage but almost. And it is emailing me pretty much every single day to upgrade. I don't want to. I can't find anything that tells me how to get it to stop email harassing me. Is there no way to make it shut up?
are there any rss + lemmy apps?
May be a dumb question but are there any one in the same fediverse and rss readers in one for android?
Pro divesting of corporate social media - always have, always will
Look, I'm an old millennial. And apparently I'm wrong in thinking everyone understands and comprehends identity security and personal autonomy online. The general population, on the other hand, are so open and ready to share all online and they see no issue with who sees what or what entity gains access to it. I think that's scary people are that unaware of how critical it really is to try and safeguard yourself from being commoditized as much as you possibly can. Online, for sure - but also irl. But that's another post for another day of which I don't care to do. I've just had some pretty recent conversations with friends who didn't know to not be so open about themselves online when they were younger and wished they had known. It made me realize not everyone grows up a network security nerd and therefore not everyone* actually understands how personal identities on the internet are important to manage properly. Anyway ...
I have never used a real identity for anything online. Not even for linkedin. It's been rule of law since my entrance onto the intenet during the days of ICQ and IRC. I did willfully and openly join Friendster. I did not willfully and openly join any other social media. In some moments I had to create an account somewhere to talk to classmates, show a portfolio, or keep connections so I could continue projects and foster good relations. But even then... no real name. So when reddit died I was fucking happy to join the fediverse and start learning about decentralization. That is to say - I don't fucking trust Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk, Steve Huffman, Evan Shmeigel (lol), or any other self proclaimed tech boy shithead trying to rake and harvest every piece of data and identity they can get their hands on. I am on lemmy to avoid that shit while still interacting with what appears to be a network of mostly rational and most likely either college educated and/or industry trained nerds.
So this is generally just a long post to say I'm not for federation with billionaire corps who are basically just right wing defense contractors, at this point. I am not for making nice with Meta in any fucking instance in the same way I don't care to make nice with Northrop Gruman. There's really no fucking difference between the two, to be honest. They both have way too much power and both only exist to start, and profit from conflict. I'm not interested in doing any fucking business with a mindset like that. So no, I'm not interested in federation with war criminals and population controllers. We all know info is a great way to keep people in control. The fediverse, while small - clearly has an appeal and plenty of info data. I don't need Mark's needley hands near it. Not all info platforms are created equal. Some have a fairly wholesome foundation and intent. Granted, not many. Many others are just weapons. Threads doesn't exist to serve a general community good. It exists to exploit, manipulate, extort, and destroy. Meta is a weapon. Therefore, so is Threads.
With all that said - I will be watching for the instances that aren't interested in "hearing out" or "waiting to see" what a war criminal wants to do with their billion dollar experiment. I will be deleting my subscriptions to places like lemmy.world and sticking to the walled garden. Why? Because, while I know it's not foolproof - it sends these fuckers a message that they don't get to just walk in and control literally everything. And also if I am given an opportunity - no matter how small it is - to manage my own data how I want to, I will take it instead of fore-fitting it like a subservient clueless dipshit. That's just how I roll. Thankfully that's how the fediverse rolls too.
Additional data backups along with a cloud account?
Hey - what else do you all do to back your data up outside of just depending on icloud or dropbox? I'm just curious how everyone handles additional backups.
Is this the main community to ask stuff on this instance?
I feel like I've seen another community where one can ask questions to more users.
walked a ton and ate healthy for three weeks and gained weight, wtf?
A) sorry if we're not allowed to ask our questions here. I can delete.
B) if we are allowed to ask questions then I'm just here to ask any thoughts on why walking 10k+ steps a day - including lots of stairs - and eating mostly meat, veggies, and rice for the last three weeks resulted in a gain of three pounds?
Project to add 45,000 new homes in Fresno
Do 150,000 people need homes in Fresno or is this a new real estate money laundering scheme for the ultra wealthy to park their money? Honest question.
TMobile is censoring lemmy.world posts (and maybe others)
Just tried to send a friend a story about Parkinson's from lemmy.world and every single time TMobile strips the link from my SMS. They let tumblr.com though.
I just looked up if they're actively censoring other sites and, yes. They are. They claim they're only doing this to obscure domains (.xyz and so on) but I just watched a YouTuber demonstrate .com censorship too. So it seems it's less arbitrary than they claim.

https://www.reddit.com/r/tmobile/comments/rskfmx/video_evidence_of_tmobiles_sms_blocking_the_more/
The conservatives are crying about it like it's just them getting censored but it seems it's beyond party lines if I can't share an article about Parkinson's research.
Tentative List of Communities in the Federation That Exist That Also Suck
I know reddit has a sub about communities that suck and why they suck. This is my personal version.
Has anyone made a sugar baby profile asking for money for school without having to bang in return?
Would I get banned from one of those sites asking for some rich person to just give me money for school and not weird foot related butthole stuff?
edit: why is this question getting shit on? it's a legit question.
edit again: jesus this community is mean af. i'll see my way out.
What's the word for the state of mind where you feel insignificant
I guess what I'm asking is what word fits the individual's belief of self related to the nihilist state of mind. Self effacing seems too simple.
Tentative List of Communities in the Federation That Don't Exist But I Wish They Did
And I don't have a ton of time to moderate or I would create them, myself.
Is there a community who can share in my misery of having a root canal?
