The number of examples I have seen of people being told to shut up about their lived experiences with sexual abuse in the past 24 hours on this platform is deeply disturbing.

I am calling on y’all to take a deep breath and listen to women for once. There is a time and place for tone policing and it’s never the very minute a woman speaks up.

    Ah yes, this IS about the bear meme. Maybe this is a lesson that doubling down on an inflammatory meme is the worst way to attempt to get a point across, claiming that people annoyed with the meme are attempting to silence you is just trippling down.

      Hey you had some decent points in the other thread. :) Please take a moment to reflect as I know you have it in you.

      claiming that people annoyed with the meme are attempting to silence you

      Emphatically: Not what I am doing. I am referencing literal instances where woman said “hey this is what happened to me,” and men responded in a dogpile “shut up, you are antagonizing me.”

        Sorry, this meme is starting to get to me. SA Survivors ABSOLUTELY SHOULDN’T BE SILENCED, and I’m not surprised some of them actually are being done so which is appalling. I didnt realise it was you who was op of this thread, and now that I do I can absolutely believe you meant the actual literal cases of silencing, and not assumed cases.
