It’s always enlightening to see every time a post about sexism make the front page of Lemmy how many people in the comments argue that sexism isn’t an actual problem.
Honestly, it kind of fucking breaks my heart. I usually love the climate and culture on Lemmy. But every time this shit comes up, there is an overwhelming outcry to try and downplay the role of sexism, to highlight outliers in the data while ignoring the obvious trends, and a fuck ton of lemmings do their best Tucker Carlson impression and “just ask questions” that coincidentally reinforce a misogynistic world view.
Looks more to me like people arguing sexism isn’t the problem on this specific case, because it’s not. This is a class issue, not a gender issue. Men and women alike see consequences for CSA, as long as they aren’t wealthy or connected enough to have at least a couple Senators on speed dial.
