The number of examples I have seen of people being told to shut up about their lived experiences with sexual abuse in the past 24 hours on this platform is deeply disturbing.

I am calling on y’all to take a deep breath and listen to women for once. There is a time and place for tone policing and it’s never the very minute a woman speaks up.

    None of the situations I was talking about involved direct replies to women talking about their own experiences.

    Okay well that’s literally the topic of this post. So you are butting in with irrelevant commentary. Thank you and have a nice day.

      Commentary isn’t irrelevant just because it’s not the exact same thing that you said. Exploring related questions/scenarios is half the point of a good discussion.
