Lemmy has a sexism problem (sh.itjust.works)

submitted 1 week ago by velma@sh.itjust.works to c/feminism@lemmy.world

I couldn't believe my eyes seeing this advice to teach young boys to hit girls so as to restore the boys' self esteem and pride.

This is the kind of toxic belief that shouldn't be allowed to proliferate here and yet is embraced with open arms by other users.

That boys can only regain their pride and self esteem by hitting girls leads directly to more violence against women and girls.

I hate this kind of instance-ism. It's just a very unjust way of looking at your fellow lemmings.

Instances mean basically nothing.

I'm on .world because it's the first instance I came across when I joined and my experience has been fine.

Before you join lemmy: "It's super easy! Just choose an instance, it doesn't really matter which!"

After you join lemmy: "Damn you, damn you to hell, for daring to consider choosing that instance!"
