Need Advice or SupportWhen I was little, my father told me that God loves his sons more than he loves his daughters
Hi! I was born in a Protestant family (it's a minority religion in Catholic-majority Poland) and I still remember that once my conservative and religious father seriously told me that God prefers male people (including His male believers) to female people (including His female believers). When I asked for the proof, he claimed that it is simply obvious since God gave men greater physical strength on average. According to my father, it wouldn't have happened if not for God's preference for the male sex so the conclusion is that the Lord loves His sons first and His daughters are less important from His perspective.
Are there any Christian women on Ovarit? What do you think of this? Do you agree that you feel less loved by God? Or do you believe that He loves males and females equally?
YAY!!!
I'm always so nervous to give them out... like what if I screw up and some raging AGP ends up getting one of mine. lol
I wouldn't worry about it too much. They'd get kicked if they started causing trouble. Just do a quick review of people's post histories on whichever site you're giving them the invite through to be on the safe side and that should be enough.
Lol I'm sure I've accidentally invited a troll or two, but I check people's post/reblog histories before I give out codes. The mods and just this community in general seems really awesome about reporting trolls when they are found.
yeah i am pretty cautious. If i don't know the person, i refer them to this page: https://ovarit.com/wiki/invites
Guuurl. Good on You and on Your many many Friends who are now here.
((slowly creeps around deleting anything I've said that any of Your 34-strong army might take the wrong way... nothing to see here, just carry on with what You were doin'...))
I have so many un-given-out codes. •___• The thing is, I'm pretty much a "Very Offline" person to begin with (insofar as that remained possible during COVID weirdnesses), and, on top of that, except for my 1 best Friend there's essentially zero overlap between my online existence and my real life.
Sooooo yeah if anybody needs a spare code You can alws DM me ahah
I requested mine a couple of days ago through email, don't know if it was you or another woman, either way I'm super glad to be part of this community, and so happy to see it growing 💗
I remember getting my code from someone in Twitter, but it's been a while so now I can't remember who gave it to me. Either way, thank you for going through all the trouble of finding new users and inviting them!
*Edit: sp
How do you know how many used the codes? Ive given out 55, but no idea how many were used
I just copied and pasted the info from the invite codes table into Excel (paste special -> text). Then just highlighted the "used" column (with all the ones and zeros). Down at the bottom of the pane/page, excel will give you a "count" (total number of things highlighted), and then a "sum". Since every code used counts as either a 1 or a 0, with 1 being used and 0 unused, it'll just add all the 1s together. And that's how many codes of yours have been used to create accounts.
I’ve been starting to share a few with radfems I find on Reddit. I only hope to approach your level of accomplishment
Break my high score!
I’m trying to be cautious so we don’t get a bunch of libfems or TRAs trying to infiltrate and troll or something. You know how Reddit be
I think we all appreciate that. I'm always sure to read past post histories from users. I learned a month or two ago that not just libfems or TRAs can be trolls. I "got into it" with someone here who considered herself a fellow lesbian, recently detransitioned. Super mean, put me down (name calling, etc. - I'm past it now but trying to paint a picture). All of my comments magically had -3 downvotes nearly immediately after I would respond to her. About a day later, I bump into her and "two others" doing the same thing to somebody else. All of their comments also with -3 downvotes. Reported her and the other accounts, the awesome admins took care of it.
She was definitely a radical feminist just based on her post history, but very reactive and abusive in the way she commented to people she didn't agree with.
I'm grateful for the admins for doing what they do and taking civility and trolling on this site seriously, even when it comes down to hard calls such as banning users who may genuinely be gender critical.
Brilliant. I've been 'here' since the beginning (not evident from my current username, as I lost my first one due to forgetting my tutanota password :() and every now and then I read comments from the handful of women I've sent invite codes to and am very pleased. Welcome to your protegees!
That's great! Where do you find these women that you share codes with, can I ask?
I wasn't sure how to generate them. Can we all do that?
I think once you're like level 15 or something. You can go to "invite codes" and then generate them.
There are levels here?! TIL ;)
Hahaha, yeah. If you click on your username (or anybody's) you can see what level you are. For example, I'm at level "chronically online".
I haven't given out many codes and this makes me inspired to start offering them more readily.
Good for you! I have no idea who gave me mine, other than I requested it from someone on Twitter over two years ago. I had to delete that account because someone (actually a whole crowd of people) was going to "report me" once they found out where I worked. They were going to report me for saying that men had an unfair advantage over women in sports.
Whichever one of you it was, thanks so much!
