It's International Women's Day, so when you see people zooming by on electric scooters, I remember Lady Norman and her autoped. She was a suffragist who insisted on being mobile without manly "protection" :) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Priscilla_Norman

(UPDATE: Yes, many men in the replies. The autoped used a combustion engine, I know. My post is however NOT about the autoped, it's about the woman standing on it. I know, that's really hard for some of you to deal with. :)

@jwildeboer I wonder how many replies from "Actually" guys this toot will accumulate before the day is over...

@ridetheory The lengths some guys go to just to avoid discussing or, gasp, supporting women's rights on women's day will never cease to amaze me :)

@jwildeboer I hate to see it on the Fediverse.

Guys, if you're out there composing an "actually" toot right now, stop and ask yourself "Does this contribute to the celebration of Women's Day?" If not, don't post it.

True, they hijacked the conversation and pulled it completely off-point...

@ridetheory @jwildeboer

then, guys, having learned how to not post some offensive "actually" toot, practice it everyday.
here and irl.

(and that's a minimum requirement. it's crazy and cringe that they're not capable of doing that.)
