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.

    I’m really glad I haven’t seen any posts like that here on Lemmy but that sounds really awful. :/

    And I completely agree with your thought and intention but I still have to nitpick about:

    There is a time and place for tone policing and it’s _never_ the very minute a woman speaks up.

    Of course it’s not never. Just like with men, women are not infallible and can do shit.
    I know you’re (hopefully) not literally meaning it like that, but I thought it’s still noteworthy.
