Responses that completely destroy the original argument in a way that leaves little to no room for reply - a targeted, well-placed response to another person, organization, or group of people.

The following things are not grounds for murder:

Personal appearance ("You're fat", "You're ugly")
Posts with little-to-no context
Posts based on a grammar/spelling error
Dick jokes, "Yo mama", "No, you" type responses and other low effort insults
"Your values are bad" without any logcal or factual ways of showing that they are wrong ("I believe in capitalism" - "Well, then you must be evil" or "Fuck you you ignorant asshole")

Rules:

Be civil and remember the human. No name calling or insults. Swearing in general is fine, but not to insult someone else.
Discussion is encouraged but arguments are not. Don’t be aggressive and don’t argue for arguments sake.
No bigotry of any kind.
Censor the person info of anyone not in the public eye.
If you break the rules you’ll get one warning before you’re banned.
Enjoy the community in the light hearted way it’s intended.

I’m a woman. I’m more likely to be harmed by a strange man than I am a woman. It’s the safer option for me.

Fair. But still, even if they look just as muscular, men are still generally stronger. Or at least if you if you couldn't judge it clearly because they have clothes on. Say you are solely interested in the one who is stronger, then you would still only choose the man, not the woman. Even if this scenario is niche, it's still possible and this precisely points out the crux of the problem. So in this scenario, can this be called unequality or morally wrong or whatever we started off?

EDIT: So arguments are prohibited in this sub? I just read that. What the hell.

“EDIT: So arguments are prohibited in this sub? I just read that. What the hell.”

Yup, arguing is actually against lemmy’s code of conduct if you read it. I’ve implemented it fairly strictly here because this is one of the few light-hearted non-meme communities on lemmy so far and I want it to be relaxed, friendly and welcoming place. After Reddit, it is so refreshing to have a space free of name calling, aggressiveness and brigading.

There’s a stickied post explaining how this community is moderated and asking for feedback and input on how this community should be run. You’re welcome to leave your (polite) suggestion there, or volunteer to help moderate. Alternatively you can make your own community or join another if your prefer a more feisty atmosphere. I believe there’s another [email protected] but it’s dead. It’s not personal - the communities I’ve created are positive, enjoyable spaces, free of arguments. Or at least they are in theory. Modding is hard.

EDIT; sorry, I’m confusing my communities. murderedbywords and confidently_incorrect have the same rules. I’m don’t think I’ve made a stickied post here yet but I will shortly.
