It is a sexist thing. Women generally don't want freedom. They want walled gardens. You've already started to build walled gardens. Until then, women should take what they dish out. If they can't, then they are too weak for the current environment until it becomes "civilized" enough for them.

Trying to use collectivist BS to defend one's self should not be tolerated here. That's all I see in the latest conflagration, and I'm trying to ignore it, but... It's annoying that you're kinda taking the side of the group that I think is wrong in how they are handling something that should never have escalated in the first place.

My assumption is smart people can understand the principle that centralized control over speech is more harmful than any particular instance of harmful speech.

If it turns out to be the case (I have no idea) that women generally are more hostile to that historically incontrovertible fact, that’s fine, but I’m not really interested so much in that.

Either way, I’m going to hammer this principle relentlessly in the face of increasingly short-sighted calls for centralized authorities I’m seeing lately. I don’t really care who clutches his or her pearls about it.

Women have a much different way to handle conflict than men. Stunningly, confoundingly different. That's the real issue in the current context.

I have zero wish to bring that passive-aggressive mob mentality to the core of nostr. It's gross and goes against an open protocol. Especially with the juvenile name calling and nearly endless ad hominem BS.

That’s probably true to an extent, but I try to avoid generalizing because it’s over*broad* (pun intended).

Always prefer to focus on the individual, assume full agency over their behavior, hold them all to the same standards.

I always want to focus on the individuals. I hate collectivism. A community can drive itself to collectivist patterns rather quickly, as we are currently seeing.

Yea I don't care how much I liked you in previous interactions, if I disagree with you, I'm going to be honest. A lot of people just think they know someone they've never met butl liked a few things they said in the past, so they parrot everything they say without thinking about the statement themselves.

Yup. Without the drive of a majority of people in a community to call out BS when they see it, you get cults of personality. It just so happens that many women don't like being called out for BS. That's lame.
