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.

None of the situations I was talking about involved direct replies to women talking about their own experiences.

Okay well that’s literally the topic of this post. So you are butting in with irrelevant commentary a bit.

Commentary isn't irrelevant just because it's not the exact same thing that you said. Exploring related questions/scenarios is half the point of a good discussion.

Valid! I encourage you to pop over to this post I made instead perhaps. It already has some rich discussion going on about exactly the concerns you are voicing here.

Thanks! Will check it out. I salute your efforts to spread awareness about lemmy stifling SA talk.

Uhhhhh they deleted the post which is very disheartening because there was genuinely really positive discussion going on. 🙁 Here is a reposted version.
