Presumably because some bloke reported me.

It's disgusting the way social media has been weaponised against women - take a neutral space designed by men for men with no governance and see what happens - the bullies and disordered roam free and who do they trash? Not other men but women and children.

Woman, it's shit.

I've reported a lot of posts since London Pride for inciting violence against women. All have come back saying that the posts don't breach Twitter guidelines.

Men just cannot have women speaking. Same old same old.

Weirdly I rarely get reported...know why?

I have a male term within my name.

I rarely get told to die in a fire, because I am not obviously female on there.

Try it - it is fascinating in terms of the returns I get.

We should record those. If someone doxxed on twitter gets hurt or suffers damage twitter are a part of that.

Post wording here or report to FPFW?

I might try that Tells, I go under my real name though. Because I've got nothing to hide.

TellsEveryoneRealFacts I've read that women on-line gamers do the same - take male sounding names - as it massively cuts down on abuse.

That's just eating the shit you're given though isn't it?

Fuck that.

I agreed it is shit. I hadn't even thought about it as I just used it as someone I admire wrote it in a card years ago for me...it just so happens that I receive different results on twitter because of it.

(I work in tech btw)

I used to as well - DH still does - really why I'm aware it's a "thing".

But yea - it's really shit.

Urbanbeetler · 12/07/2018 10:51

What did you write to get banned?

Pythagonal · 12/07/2018 10:52

I've got two Twitter accounts, one male, one female, and I get different results too. When I set up the male one, Twitter automatically assumed that I must like football. Hmm

ProfessorMoody · 12/07/2018 10:52

I got banned the other day for calling out a racist. The racist was not banned, and her racist post remains.

ILikeyourHairyHands · 12/07/2018 11:03

Not entirely sure Urban but I have an inkling it may be to do with Riley fucking Dennis.

Wanderabout - will try to do this.
There is a deeply disturbing tweet going around at the moment displaying picture's of T*RF children. Seemingly taken from facebook.
