Oh same, same. I’ve seen plenty of instances of hostile sexism on this site and your reply was decidedly not hostile, so I was a little surprised at the push back. That’s all.
Comment on Hard no bud

On a scale of 0 to 10 of how upset I am about this, it’s a zero. It’s just that in real life I am unmistakably woman with a light soft voice and long curly hair and I wear pink dresses and it’s really weird for me on the internet when people call me bud and bro and dude.
Again I cannot emphasize enough how weird it feels, just like it would feel weird for a man to be called lady and sweetie pie and honey and she and her 🤷🏼♀️
and it did not occur to me to make a username to emphasize my gender, I made this username in a wild frenzy haste and gave it no thought whatsoever, but I do recall one time I did have a username that emphasized my femininity, and receiving a lot of uncalled for harassment from that. It’s ridiculous. It’s just my comfort zone relaxing on places like Lemmy after I’m exhausted from my daily life, I just want to hang out here and relax. And not be called a dude every time 😂
