Sounds like you could really use some time offline.

    Can you explain what specifically is making you suggest this?

    Someone made a comment about their postpartum coworker. I expressed my personal position that we should not be talking about other people's bodies and that there is an undercurrent of sexism online. I never suggested they were personally sexist.

    Are you suggesting that there is no undercurrent of sexism online? Are you stating you support talking about random women's bodies to strangers?

    So many women talk about how the internet and Lemmy specifically are hostile to them. I knew when I posted that it would not be the majority sentiment, and I expected downvotes. I'm surprised that people are openly attaching their username to comments suggesting that the act of expressing my opinion is the problem.

    It really feels like your suggestion boils down to "I'm not made uncomfortable by this so you should leave because your opinion doesn't belong here".
