As a woman on the Fediverse you can't even post a picture of an inanimate object, e.g. a bicycle, that does not contain yourself at all, without having men going out of their way to comment on your appearance.

Every single time I try posting a little more on here again, stuff like this happens and I remember why I spend my time elsewhere (namely bluesky). I really with it wasn't like this but it is.
Sure, I can mute, block, and report but there's always more. It never ends.
The Fediverse has a massive toxic-masculinity problem and I don't see that changing anytime soon.
