Women of Lit: A Safe Place To Share

After the 'input' of SixtyBlue on the visual arts sub forum it is clear the internet isn't genuinely safe for women

There is a women of wargaming section on Boardgamegeek, it too is not genuinely 'safe'. It's basically enter at your own risk.

The internet is more or less a mirror of the offline world. Women exist in a perpetual state of secondclassness.

I have yet to find a hobby location where being acknowledged as 'female' is entirely wise. It's unfortunate, but it's the way it is.

And I won't rant about the state of female rights in the US, the US doesn't own bias against women. It's just sad the land of the free only really applies to white christian males.

What can I do about it? Not much really. I knew what I was doing when I transitioned. The fact they see it as a choice. Oh yeah, I wanted to casually give up being a white Christian Canadian male. Just a choice.

My offline world is ok, I'm fairly lucky as it goes. My hometown is predominantly white and Catholic. But the people here are not nasty towards me.

I can't say the internet has been a good idea though most times.
It's great for buying models and gaming stuff.
It's ok to watch media
But at the social level, social media is often more antisocial media than not.
Yes, I don't NEED to go into the Politics sub forum.
But the sad truth is, the people in there, really ARE on Lit and they are not oblidged to stay in the Politics sub forum.
And based on what can be witnessed in Politics, reveals how truly ugly some of them truly can be.

Do I really want to share anything with them?
I'm considering deleting my art thread.
If I am going to share, I'll stick to this thread alone.
The rest of the site hasn't earned my friendship.

I totally understand. I don't venture around much either. I'm primarily in Daddy's Little Girl. Sometimes I pop in here. Be aware that the knuckle-draggers sometimes find this thread. Fortunately, our Moderator is one of the best, and she will delete their posts and block them from future posting if we point them out to her. It's been a while since we've had an intrusion, but trust me, they are lurking. Like VamPal1 said, there is no safe place.
 
Thanks for the thread. I haven’t even been here a week and it’s already unnerving. First of all, the amount of old pervs lurking around here is ridiculous. And they all seem to presume that I’m into old wankers. And the relentless messaging! There are two guys who message me every day, multiple times a day, even though there are zero replies from me - sometimes just forwarding my own posts back to me! I know I can block/ignore, but how desperate are these guys? No boundaries, no shame.

It's intense, and yeah, when I first got on I alternated between euphoria and disgust. Wasn't sure I would last a week. Block/Ignore frequently. I know with me it calmed down after a bit and now I don't get nearly that many PMs.

It's not you - it's a reflex with a few pervy men at Lit, who probably use multiple IDs, and pester newbs as though they were new kids at school, not grown women who've endured this shit all their lives. As Jenny said, it does stop once they get bored and shift their attention elsewhere. I used to regard Lit as a useful training ground to discover just how weird some people are in RL.
I'm glad you found this thread.
Stick the pervs on ignore and treat them as you would fruit flies.
