Maybe it's me?

Maybe it's me - in many of the recent posts I sense, see and smell a set up - I see a wolf dressed as Grandma.

An OP who I don't recognise posts a question used to enable concern trolling and sealioning. Comments suddenly appear from newish unfamiliar accounts to challenge the inch given and demand that we conform to their inclusive demands which require us women giving up a pound of flesh. The thread appears to generate goady responses and maybe Twitter clickbait

Oh if I could bag all that concern and turn it into gold, I'd be a rich woman

I don't want to talk about them and their tactics - that's boring.

I want to talk feminism. For example -

Why are feminists expected to pander to anyone else's demands? Why can't feminists say no without sanction? What's so wrong with feminists being self centred and looking after women's needs? After all men do it all the tine. Why do social media platforms repeatedly demonstrate they are part of the problem and not of the solution? Why do they ignore 51% and why don't we withhold our presence from Twitter etc. Why does this keep happening and what other measures can we take?

Just checking:)))

Why make such an ambiguous post if not for attention?
All posts are always for attention. That is why we speak. That is why we write. That is why we start posts. To draw attention to something.
Your criticism makes no sense.

Call out culture?
The misogyny that is always directed at women who have the nerve to behave like people without apology.
Definitely a few dozen false flag rat fuckers in the past few months.
I was not here for the MRA invasion that people have mentioned so I do not know how that was survived. Though I understand that was what drove Dittany and others away from the site.

I think the security breach created a bit of a vacuum when so many women left and it is being filled with people who are much like sharks who smell blood in the water.
I agree that many new people appear to have brought an agenda with them and it has nothing to do with Feminism or women's rights.
It is hard to recognize the new people who just found out what is happening in the schools and want to talk when the threads are full of people nut picking.
The "you are all bigots if you don't help us flog this woman" accusations came as a surprise to me. Not just a surprise, a shock. It reminded me of this:

As a person undefined why not just ask the person in question? Why make such an ambiguous post if not for attention?
