Aaaaaauuuugh

Unfortunately it’s a bit of a misinterpretation. Yes the overall USB C spec is complicated, and cables can support different things without being labelled clearly, but you can use it just to deliver power much more simply.

(Don’t worry, they weren’t calling you that. It was a commentary on the dating scene.)

It’s because nobody on lemmy ever has sex

Nooo stop being reasonable I’m trying to be smug 😔

We knew this

No.

Can anyone else not see the image?

One of the most well-intentioned and reasonable spaces to discuss this type of stuff I’ve found, but posts are not frequent.

Then why did you say “at least”. It’s not a good thing

Why would you want this

It sounds more like you run NixOS for your wife

It seems logical to decrement after the wish is granted, imo. Just causes issues in this particular case…

It still seems unwise to conflate those two things

It’s called rape, even if done just with words

Don’t downplay the severity of actual rape by comparing it to insults please

Beautiful list, nobody makes a better list, they said it can’t be done

“I don’t want to get bad reviews so I’m going to be a massive dick to my users”

True, I guess immutable wasn’t the right term. It’s mutable, but it’s not really a choice.

I do disagree that banning men is necessarily helpful for the discussion of women’s issues though. Yes, some women’s issues are so far removed from our experience that most male advice wouldn’t be helpful. But I believe there is always value to be found, even-- actually, especially-- from the outgroup. This is the exact rationale for DEI, or at least the one that I find reasonable, which is that having perspectives from people with a wider variety of experiences represented in a space can improve the discussions within it. When done correctly, this improves the experience of the people who the group is “for”. Mixing perspectives with outgroup members like this also improves the mutual understanding between the group’s members and nonmembers, which in this case especially is important. And it allows people to more easily become allies.

What we don’t want is people with a hostile view of the group to be free to participate as much as they want. Maybe banning all men from the community is necessary, or maybe just efficient, to fulfill this purpose. In this case the ban might be worth it, but the loss of external perspectives is a downside and that should be considered here and always.

Like another user replied, there’s a difference between “this isn’t for you” and “you aren’t allowed here”. There aren’t a lot of other public high-quality places to discuss women’s issues, so as a man your options are to:

• Not discuss them, at most trying to understand by watching
• Start your own community for men to discuss women’s issues, which without womens’ perspectives is not likely to go well
• Start a community for all genders to discuss it – maybe I should do this one tbh, although maybe it might be smarter to expand the topic a little. This being the best option may be why I feel compelled to argue for the merits of gender inclusivity in the community we’re discussing
