Transcript: With a picture of a snake in the background, post reads: The chances of a human being bitten by a venomous snake is 1 in 70 thousand.
The chances of a woman being attacked by a man is 1 in 3.
And somehow, your fear of snakes is valid. But a woman’s fear of male violence is dramatic.
is this a “preaching to the choir” thing? Most people here must disagree with violence against women just being"drama".
Are you trying to raise awareness?
Sometimes it’s preaching to the choir, some times its affirmation. shrug
Edit nvm, saw the debacle. Arf arf little sealion. Can’t have women having communities and discussions now, can we.
why don’t any of you want women having discussions and communities?
What is the sea lion thing, do you mean because you’re a sea lion you don’t like women?
It’s gonna be nice when Lady Butterfly has time to go through her mod notifications later :)
Me too, velma!
She seems to be level-headed and follows her own rules, unlike other members here who have mocked or insulted me for asking a question about your community.
Are the mocking and insults in the room with us?
yes, they’re available to read in this thread. You’ve all signed your names to your comments.
Oh no….
Anyway.
you asked.
You can view it as a “preaching to the choir” thing if you’d like.
You’re welcome to ignore posts that don’t resonate with you or topics you don’t want to comment on.
yes, that is how public forums work…hence my question.
If you don’t know the answer to a question, you don’t have to pretend to answer an ancillary concern nobody is asking about, it’s okay.
Yes, public forums usually have rules! hence it is recommended you read those before asking questions!
If you don’t know how to read the rules, you don’t have to pretend like you did! Nobody is asking for your opinion, its okay!
i won’t. i read the rules and understand the limited scope of your community. I’m not offering my opinion.
And I answered your question with an affirmative. It is kind of preaching to the choir.
No, you avoided answering my question by responding “you can view it as a” preaching to the choir" thing if you’d like", which is a negative response, not an affirmative.
Now you’ve amended your earlier response to provide an answer. No gas-fiddling on my watch, velma!
I personally view it as bringing up a relevant topic in this group, but that doesn’t mean it’s inaccurate to view it as “preaching to the choir”.
yea, both interpretations are correct.
That’s your alt account?
Arr you also Butterfly? I mean, you don’t have to get into that, but is that why you’re speaking for the OP?
Hey now you’ve crossed the line here. No, Wren and Lady Butterfly are not alt accounts. Women exist on the internet, I know it’s shocking.
Why do you find women on the internet shocking in an online women’s community?
I appreciate the attention, but you can let OP speak for herself.
Not anymore than you’re trying to troll.
You sure you know where you’re posting?
commenting? yea…it’s literally the same community you’re in right now.
I don’t get it. Are you trolling me?
Rules…
Women only… trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Anyone under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is free to decide whether a women’s community is a good fit for them.
Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
So you don’t follow the rules and then quote them at others?
you aren’t playing very nice.
If this community is not a good fit for you, why are you participating?
Am I not? Where have I been mean?
You are not. Rule 2.
It is aggressive of you to intrude into somebody else’s conversation in the first place,aggressive of you to speak for somebody else, and not nice for you to gaslight users.
Oh I’m aggressive AND mean now?
Hm.
You keep saying you’re “mean”, I am saying that your gaslighting is not nice(the rules).
And yes, your intrusion, speaking for others and gaslighting is aggressive behavior.

idk about marine life, but being attacked by you all for no reason isn’t very fun.
Why are you in this community?
Then fuckin leave.
