Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Women are trash, two different ones have raped me specifically and the treatment I get from women is "men are trash." Fuck y'all right back then howboutdat?
(Edit: Well now that the OP's "men are trash" has been removed by the mods I feel comfortable admitting that I do not actually feel that all women are trash, I was simply trying to make a point to that commenter and those who share the viewpoint that my gender is one homogenous hivemind and are solely "trash," the point being that it's an equally useless and inflammatory generalization regardless of which gender is supposedly "all trash." It's just easier to see when it's said about "you" for some it seems.
In reality, there are both good and bad people of every race, creed, ethnicity, gender, and just about every other metric people often use to separate us into little groups and file us away in our little boxes we better not stray out of. "Men" are no more "singularly quantifiable as trash" than women, POC, etc. To get to people who are 100% trash by group, you have to whittle it down to "rapists" or "human trafficking people" or something where their decisions and actions have shown them to be bad, being born with a penis or a vagina is simply not enough information to qualify an individual or group as "trash."
I hope I live to see the day where we can stop pretending that this issue is a gendered one. While one gender may experience it more than another at its core that isn't the issue, the issue is victim VS abuser and the longer we deny that the longer we'll keep fighting about "men matter too" "nuh uh they're only 4%" until the goddamn cows come home.)
Also it's current year, if you genuinely still believe "men are trash" literally means every man is a rapist, you're just stupid or wilfully misinterpreting it. How about you actually try engaging with feminists with some good faith next time, rather than pretending we're the scum of the earth for not catering to men 24/7
No I think it means "men are trash" which happens to be just as idiotic as "always a man." Thanks for fucking playing, goodbye.
All those words just to backpedal on your obvious sexism and keep whining about women shouldn't be protesting against rape. I have nothing nice to say to you, so I'll just block you and be very happy I never have to see trash like you again :3
Women should absolutely protest rape, without excusing woman abusers and erasing male victims of women (of which I happen to be one if you haven't been paying attention.)
Block yourself, fool.
