Wondering if Aaron Swartz were alive how he would comment on the sorry state of reddit. But he might turn woke himself who knows

Yet it is also a place where lesbians cannot speak freely. If they refuse to include men in their spaces, they are banned for hate speech. They will be banned from participating in a raft of the online spaces that Reddit calls ‘subreddits’. If they try and express their disgust with the situation to Reddit’s administration, they are banned. They hop from private space to private space, desperate to avoid detection. The spaces that claim to be ‘lesbian’ walk on eggshells around men who claim to be lesbians, or are run by and for them.

Meanwhile, those very same men who insist on being included in their spaces can write long and detailed fantasies about raping lesbians. About corrective rape. About committing hate crimes against lesbians. Including in forums that are meant to be for lesbians. Long lengthy posts about some man’s long lengthy penis is apparently ‘lesbian’ these days and perfectly fine to post in lesbian spaces, and if you object, you’re a bigot, a hater, and a TERF.

But on subreddits where ‘lesbian’ is a category of pornography, those men are freely able to ban biological men from being in the videos or posting about themselves. Men are allowed to know what a lesbian is.

Actual homosexual women do not get the same privilege. For them to do such a thing is hate speech. Lesbian is a clearly defined category of pornography, but apparently when lesbian women try defining their identity, it’s ha to be all inclusive or they’re transphobic.
