Today is International Women's Day.
Heartfelt thanks to all the wonderful women in the fediverse, who help create it, maintain it, advance it, and use it.
May we all - especially men - continue to work towards, and behave to ensure, a fediverse that is safe, enjoyable, and useful for women everywhere.

Do you call out other men when they behave inappropriately to women? Do you push back publicly against misogynistic toots?
Are your own online interactions welcome and consensual? At the very least, do you check that your behaviour is not creepy / threatening / harassing, making women feel unsafe? It is simply unwelcome or unwanted.
Are you mansplaining? Sealioning? Well actually-ing?
Are you demanding free labour?
Are you boosting content which is harmful to women? Interacting with someone who espouses views which are harmful to women?
Can you, personally, do more to make the fediverse a wonderful experience for women? Even, perhaps especially, if that means reading and boosting, rather than replying.
Enthusiastic consent is sexy. For goodness' sake, if they want a photo of your penis, they will ask.

@neil men can mansplain about topics they think women don't know about the same way women can womansplain about topics they think men don't know about -

@neil I know it's unintended, but the word "help" could be construed as a minimiser with the implication being to 'assist men'. Perhaps "work to" instead of "help"? Not a criticism, you fully rock, dude.

@gunchleoc @neil there is no whataboutism or darvo. I was just saying that anyone can be condescending. It's not something exclusive to men 👍

@dps910 @gunchleoc It is whataboutism: rather than engaging with the issue, on International Women's Day, of mansplaining, your post was what about women explaining things.

Put another way, your post was not about making women safer or more welcome in the fediverse, which was the topic. It was almost the opposite of that!

@consentgame @neil > Enthusiastic consent is sexy
you may revise your opinion when you learn what some of us enthusiastically consented to!

@neil @gunchleoc oh. my mistake. You are right I guess "what about womansplaining" is whataboutism. guess I read the definition wrong. -

In terms of your point about "equality", "equality" should not mean "treating everyone the same", as that will lead to perverse outcomes.
Taxing everyone at 50% of their income, for example, will have a significantly more harmful impact on people who earn little than those who earn loads, unless there is another way to redress the impact.
Treating people equally, especially when trying to undo years of problems, is likely to require understanding the needs, and supporting accordingly, going beyond what others might need.

@neil most pictures of penises on my time line belong to women and they are always appropriately cwed

di Sibilla Aleramo (Alessandria, 1876- Roma, 1960)
Ancora marzo ci ritrova,
è di nuovo primavera,
ancora coi suoi cieli lievi,
la tenera luce e la fragranza del vento … https://cctm.website/sibilla-aleramo-ancora-marzo/#sibillaAleramo #poesia #marzo #cctmwebsite #anoipiaceleggere #leggere

Ingredienti: un motore, possibilmente con testa, e una lastra di vetro ROBUSTA.
Forare la lastra in corrispondenza dei bulloni della testa, in modo che rimanga a sbalzo fuori dal motore (che fa fico), quindi rimettere la testa a tenere fermo il tutto.Mi sa che la parte più noiosa è pulire il motore.

Speaking purely for myself, this is why I love mastodon, this is why I come here
