I feel based on the name of the community, some rules would be obvious. But a “absolutely nothing from you, male scum” isn’t obvious.

Rules…

Women only… trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Anyone under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is free to decide whether a women’s community is a good fit for them.

I understand, you’re a man, you have an opinion, and being told ‘no’ just won’t cut it, will it?

Well, aren’t the majority of these replies depressing. Imagine looking at a minority group that tries to make a private corner for themselves and going “yeah but they haven’t heard my take yet!”

But then some celebrity in the 80’s was arguing against physical fitness tests for firefighters saying well they could use like power axes or something (which you know. did not exist).

Who? I feel like a huge issue here is saying anyone who is a woman and says a thing = feminism. I know dozens of firefighters who are women, they pass the tests all the time. (My brother is a volunteer firefighter in BC, Canada.)

I’d assumed you actually were ‘done’ but no, I see you still getting bodied in this very thread by other people.

Keep up the good work :)

Arguably the average American company is far worse than the Nazis were.

I just want to leave this here so you can never edit it, nor remove it.

Bro this is just ignorance.

Like the ‘innocent German farmer soldiers’ who had no idea what was happening? This is how that starts, dude, seriously, this isn’t even a clever attempt at a wedge issue. It’s as in-your-face as it could be.

Sigh can you calm down there for a second?

When it comes to Nazi stuff? No, absolutely not. Fascists run the US right now, and I am rightly worried about what that means. We have actual Fascists running the country with nukes, with an army they spend more on than most of the world combined. Fascists are always stopped by picking a fight they can’t win, and if these apologists and ‘well were they really that bad’ or whatever it is this time buy them sympathy, they buy them time to creep into each office, each group of people. Suddenly you have Jews for Hitler and they go ‘see? If we were really bad, would these people defend us?’

So no I’m not going to calm down, I’m going to very specifically point out we know exactly where this goes. This is the paradox of tolerance right here; we fight it everywhere. Not just when they say the genocide things, when they do any dog whistles, any of the talking points, we shut that shit down.

and instead simply believed propaganda they’d come across

This is the same fucking stuff from the Nazi’s. And we didn’t beat it last time with softly worded retorts and appeasement, we did it when we stood up and fought back, we figuratively gathered all the bullied groups at school against the school bullies and pummelled them so badly they couldn’t hurt us again. Because Fascists pick on the smallest target, because they need the money, the distraction, an External Enemy to focus people on. And it starts here, in the pubs, in the break rooms, in the internet forums, on message boards, that they build their support base.

So call this paranoid or that it’s me being emotional, I don’t care, because all I have to do is point at the past and I’m proven right.

Because I’m going to make goddamn sure you understand what you’re doing so the next time you think we should talk nice to the people defending a group that designed and implemented genocide of more than one people group as a fucking core ideology you’ll pause and maybe reflect on if this is the best time to be super cordial with some guy about to launch into ‘I’m just saying maybe the numbers are exaggerated.’

My grandmother wasn’t thrown in a camp by fucking elite waffen SS guards it was random fucking Wehrmacht child rapists who were taught that Deutschland über alles.
