Let's see if I can get all this link formatting down haha.
We are not the Reddit TwoXChromosomes but we did see that they did not exist here and all the search results happened to be users looking for it so here it is! If anyone from the Reddit 2x wants to mod, inbox me on reddit or lemmy, same username.
I am confused on how all this works. I can't join because I'm on lemmy not that other one. But I can't find the search function to put the thing it gave me in.
I do not myself like /r/TwoXChromosomes, and I don't think that it was a great idea to make it a default sub on Reddit back when that happened -- IIRC the rationale was to try to improve Reddit's appeal to women. But it's...kind of a bitter, angry place, and I don't think that that makes for a very good default experience for new users.
However, I certainly think that people who want that environment should have access to it. I mean, people need to vent about stuff. So, hey, good to have it as an option for people.
The way many women are treated, both currently and in the past, I don’t fucking blame them. I agree that it’s necessary for women to have a place for women to vent and seek support, and XX on Reddit provided one outlet for that.
I'm not opposed to people having their own space. You are right and like I said I tried it but that was a long time ago. Itcould have become a much better place.
I have really bad self esteem and worry a lot about making women uncomfortable, so I went there and ended up being inundated with the "men can never atone for their sins and if you disagree you are an incel and part of the problem" rhetoric. But since they're supposed to be the "good side," I felt guilty for not agreeing entirely, even if it meant wanting to kill myself so that women can thrive without fear.
obviously I still agree with feminism and advocate for women's rights, but since that place is filled with the venting of millions of people all at once, you have to be careful or it will do damage to your psyche.
