Dear Stem ladies, What are the best ways to organise a private group of GC women and mitigate the risk of the conversations being leaked, peered etc? Twitter- there is an option for private chat, but it comes with many limitations, ie bans for naughty women etc Discord - never used it, how suitable would it be for a purpose of a closed group?

What are any other ideas? Do you know any githubs of projects that would be suitable? Any open source? I will be grateful for any recommendation 🙂

Men call each other this slur all the time in an attempt to emasculate each other. Still doesn't make any of them women.

My beloved father called me a bitch once. Only once. He's been dead for 7 years now. It still cuts.

I think he regretted it as soon as he saw the word land. His regret didn't change the fact that when I was being stubborn and outspoken (like my brother was constantly), that's the word that came to him.

Bitch.

My mom, who was not verbally abusive at all, said I was "being a bitch" once when I was 15. I was so upset, I cried and cried. She later asked what was wrong and I told her and she apologized and never did it again. It hurts, it's nothing to be proud of.

For a real woman, this encounter would be terrifying. But for a TIM, it's "tee hee so validating!!"

He can laugh it off and say it's validating because he knows he isn't in any legitimate danger.

I really don't like these guys

Man, who lives the lie that he's a woman and expects everyone else to accommodate that, gets annoyed when another man lies to him.

oh the irony.

And I'll bet he popped a raging euphoria boner at that very moment.

Misogyny is empowering to these fuckheads.

RusticTroglodyteOliver Twist MuppetNovember 23, 2023

Before I stopped using the word, I used it almost exclusively on men. Lmao@this man getting euphoria from it

Yeah, I refuse to use the B or C word, but I reserve the right to continue to use "slut/slutty" which I use exclusively on males. (And it really fits... I mean, so many men are major sluts who are led around by their penis and will sleep with anyone. The word was wasted when used on women.)

"she he called me"

One way or the other, that has to be misgendering.

I got called a bitch for the first time today for calling out a man lying to me.

I had moved something that I needed from one side to the other side where I was working.

As I was just about to get where I was working, a man jumped out of nowhere and asked if he could have the thing I needed.

I explained, no, I'm using it myself.

Then he lied to me and claimed he had just moved it over himself and started to get aggressive about it.

I knew he hadn't, and I won't suffer bullshit like that, so I told him "no you didn't, I just moved it here"

He then starts getting aggressive and I tell him "if it means that much to you take it, it's just a thing, sort your life out"

She he called me "you fucking bitch" and walked off in a huff.

I think it's hilarious personally.

The thing is, if I hadn't moved the thing myself just two seconds before, I would've let him take it, but because he lied to me thinking I'd be nice, nope. No deal.

Feel kinda proud to be called a bitch lol

The "She he" typo is curious. I really do feel like once you start doing wrong pronouns you get all messed up. It's like a stroop test.

Or it really happened but he was called a male slur and changed it to make himself feel validated.

somegenerichandleNovember 23, 2023

That's a good possibility.

legitimatewrenNovember 23, 2023

That's what I thought when I read it. Definitely don't believe it really happened. Or maybe it was a very different interaction that he then edited for clout.
