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.
Damn velma... I am really impressed by your energy and stubbornness to stand up for your values and what should be everyone´s values.
These comments are scary and extremely concerning and Lemmy is definitely a place where these extreme values are getting space and too much space. Both the acceptance and normalization of violence and these extreme sexist views as well.
I admire your work here, it's inspiring and makes me reflect over how I am not contributing enough to fight against normalizing this behavior and these views on women, sexisme, violence, anti-feminisme, etc.
I hope my intention with my message is clear enough. English is not my native language, so sometimes some wordings come off in a wrong way. You are cool and doing awesome work.
