  • My dude. That kind of thinking is exactly why women need their own spaces.

    You may not realize it, or have ever examined yourself, but you just expressed misogyny in a mild form here, where you have had every chance to pick and choose how you say things to support your opinion that the reason given for the bans was unjustified.

    It’s okay for a given group to have their own spaces without intrusion. A gay men’s space should absolutely be able to exclude women and straight men. A straight men’s space should be able to exclude gay men and women.

    The only time having dedicated spaces is a problem is when every space is dominated by a single group. And that’s just not the case with a women only space. To the contrary, women struggle to have their voices heard in open spaces where everyone is allowed specifically because men dominate those spaces.

    If you, as a man, went and ignored a clearly visible community rule, you absolutely deserve a ban from that community. As well, the fact that you’d blatantly ignore a clearly visible rule in community is a damn good indicator that you think you’re above rules, which means that a mod preemptively banning you from other communities ceases to be an over reaction.

    So, I’m going to be harsh as hell in this. You stated that you knew the rule and ignored it. That means you’re either an arrogant asshole, or a petulant child. Neither of which is a good look when trying to claim a mod behaved badly.



  • Ngl, I wouldn’t use the rose scented stuff either, but mainly because my nose would clog up if I tried. Most fake flower smells do it.

    I’d just go ham and exfoliate harder. Soap isn’t actually necessary to be clean and not smell. It’s just much easier to achieve those goals with it than without. Hell, depending on where you’re washing on your body, soap can be a bad thing because even the stuff designed to not over strip skin won’t always live up to that promise.

    Legit folks, if you run out of soap, you can be just as clean (as in dead skin cells sloughed off, excess oils gone, and any odors from the bacteria on your body gone) with just your hands, short term. You’d need something better at exfoliating than bare hands if it’s going to be over about a week, but it’s still doable. Longer term, soap itself is just faster, not better, than any other product that can reduce skin oils and any clinging dirt.

    You’d be amazed how many people have strong sensitivities to most surfactants, or outright allergies to some of the more common ingredients. They can be right beside you in an elevator after years of not using soap, and you won’t know.





  • Wow. Just wow.

    Drag comes back and that’s who shows up. Horrible “luck”.

    Fwiw, while it’s already been said, the threats are laughable. Who would they sue? A user name? Good luck with that lol. And they didn’t suffer any harm from anything to begin with, so by standards in most of the western world, even if they could manage to file suit, they wouldn’t get anything.

    What’s sad is that the person in question doesn’t even understand why they’re like that, but have talked about the indulging underlying issues that make them act like a jerk on a fairly regular basis, depending on one’s threshold for what is and isn’t jerk behavior.

    Hope drag have better luck in avoiding the jerks of the world.
