Yes, you're very angry.
Reminder: Be civil. Less politics if you can't be civil, (no politics is probably a stretch).
At no point did I call him a pedophile.
Feel free to make up other shit while you're at it.
I said the words 'I am not a pedophile.' because I was being accused of 'getting on' on with children.
What's going on now?
He said, 'I'm sure we'd get on in person'. You clarified that you were calling him a child in a roundabout way.
You can block them on their profile on desktop at least, and probably elsewhere too.
You seem to have replied to me by the way. I hope I haven't been ranting.
Her comments are interesting, you should check out the mens liberation stuff. But that pedo comment was easily misconstrued, and she's been very defensive. She probably doesn't meet many people like feedum who have an interest in 'female spaces', 'historically accurate' females and are snarky, since those topics are generally politically anti-feminist.
I'm happy to ban people who break the rules too often, but I'd much prefer to have open discussion where everybody learns something or is entertained. The problem is finding the balance between toxicity and rule breaking versus the good stuff.
Goading people is incivil as well. And the comment you are incessantly discussing has been dealt with.
I strongly feel I'm being the civil one here.
You say, while graciously making sexist comments.
I'm sorry my words have upset you. We have a slight difference of opinion on something, and that's okay. I don't feel it would be productive to continue the discussion, but wish you the best in life nonetheless.
It's not clear what you're apologizing for. I do like how sexism has been reduced to 'a slight difference of opinion' now.
Funny how the discussion was considered productive when your response was 'Yes, you're very angry', and no longer productive when the misogyny was pointed out.
Calm down buddy your misogyny is showing.
Well, I'm sure we'd get on in person.
^Gaslight, control, dismiss, invalidate. Classic misogynist behavior.
Tone policing. It's not aggressive to make sexist claims. It's only aggressive to point them out.
Can you point to the part where I called him a pedophile?
All I said was that I don't date children.
Looks like he gets a free pass for sexism. Lemmy and it's 77% male userbase at its finest.
