Yeah I'm not sure what they mean either, and I chat to other women on here every day. Not to say they've not had a bad experience obviously but it seems far from universal.
OP if someone is being a sexist creep, smash that report button!
Can't say I've noticed anything different to most places, other than right back at the start when I called a few people out for assuming everyone was a guy it actually got upvoted, which was nice ๐
I'm going to quote it wrong, but there was a funny post on Reddit about 10 years ago that went something like "Statistically, you're probably a white guy aged 19-22 in the USA".
Honestly, the comments were hysterical because yes. Half the respondents met all those criteria, and most of the rest met 3+ of them.
And yet we have the audacity to upvote things like this ๐ https://lemmy.world/post/5033708
