I’ve actually found using a pic of me as a kid really effective at stopping unsolicited dick pics.

I’ve frequently found that my ideas just aren’t heard in the same way when I post as a woman. I’m condescended to. Treated dismissively. Someone with a masculine presence can say the same thing after me and get engagement. The tone of the conversation is just different.

I really appreciate when men online can engage in an authentic way about ideas and have a normal conversation like they would with another dude. I’ve found more of that here. Hence why I post as myself.
