  Have you ever really talked to women who use online spaces a lot? Like a real conversation, face-to-face or in person. Serious question.

    Just with I sleep with and occasionally work or study partners. Maybe on online games but it’s hardly ever…

      There are a lot of things you probably aren’t even aware of that are normal for women, I would really encourage you to broaden your social sphere and make friends of other genders and backgrounds and listen to what other people deal with.

      You probably don’t even know how much harassment and threats you would face just being a woman online, it’s not exaggerated, there are a LOT of people who really enjoy making women feel unsafe, it’s a game to them. Most girls I know hide their identities online and pretend to be men. Imagine not being able to express yourself freely even on the internet because you don’t want to feel unsafe or hated.

        For example? tbh I don’t even put pictures of myself on the internet, I don’t like that kind of social interaction. I am trying to understand but it’s pretty hard. Harrassment like what, threats like what? Feel unsafe in what sense? I am not getting solid examples I can’t understand.
