Finally decided to seek out others who are over it too.

Truth is that we dont really get over things.

It's in the background, always.. and shapes our thoughts and opinions

Some people call this PTSD... Others... Call it life.

But it doesn't stop it being there. It's a useless classification.

We just cope as we can. You know, mate?

yeah

I'm glad someone understands, cause Jesus, I was starting to think no one did

Thank you

Hello Everyone. I got into this movement from reading two books, Men on Strike by Helen Smith and The Myth of Male Power by Warrren Farrell. I work in corporate finance.

That's nice. Why did you wait?

I waited to introduce myself because I have other servers that occupy a lot of my time outside of my job and I wasn't sure that this place and I would be a good fit. Then I realized that introducing myself was the only way to see if it would be a good fit.

What a weird way of seeing things

Welcome :3

That's not weird at all lol

Is it not?

Nah I don't think so.

I disagree, but its not like, wrong

Hey.. what happened to all the channels on this server?

They aren't here. For you anyway. Want then to be, then tell us about yourself :3

I can magically make them there.. or not... Why should I?

Wat. I didn't have to prove myself before. What changed?

I changed. We all change day to day... Hair gets whiter... I'm still young, aren't I? :<

Are you sure its grey!!?

Well fuck

Happy now?

I don't know. Why did this happen? I don't want to be part of some exclusive club. If participation is something that is going to be waived over everyone's heads I'd rather fine a more open forum to discuss.

Exclusive club? Lol. This was made necessary only because we kept getting spammed

You wanna leave, leave!

Wait. Now that I think about it. The real reason I waited was I didn't realize that we were supposed to introduce ourselves at all until I got a message from the automod. And I had to get that message multiple times becuase it kept getting burried by the spam. So call it a miscommunication.

Maybe it is a miscommunication.. I'm sorry for that

Would you like me to be more lenient @Zorintien

What I mean is that I would rather not join a community that isn't inclusive. If you are going to give everyone a hard time about being included then I'm going to conclude this community is not inclusive and leave.

Yes, that's actually something I wrestle with daily

It is to be because we are so targetted with abuse

You were here before this. You know that

So really.. what are we supposed to do?

Do you have a solution?

You have rules. You enforce them. If they aren't enforcable, change the rules. Why is this difficult?
