Or women could just lower their standards if they don't think anyone is good enough for them. That's basically what men have been told for ages, that women don't need to go about changing themselves to meet the standards of men. Surely the same operates in reverse, no? If women don't like their prospects, they can either lower their bar or stay single since men don't need to change themselves to please women?

This video is over an hour long. At least hit a mild tl;dw, if nothing else.
the only way it's easy to "moderate on principle" is to rely on black and white either/or thinking, with no room for nuance or exception. If you say "The rule is the rule, there can be no interpretation other than the most literal meaning.
I disagree. Moderating based on principle require the exact opposite. A firm understanding of both what and why the rules are, such that you can enforce them based not just on some moronic "technically broke the rules based on their phrasing", but rather based on the values contained in the rules.
How about you just shut your life down and save the resources you'd otherwise waste?
I think any discussion of moderation on the internet should come with an acknowledgement that its a very difficult thing to take on.
I disagree. From my experience moderating on reddit, it's only difficult if you either a) simply have too large a community for the number of mods, or b) don't have a single molecule of principle in your body and thus have no goal for moderation. The first is fairly easily remedied by finding people you trust to help. The latter is just a matter of growing a fucking spine. If you moderate on principle, you aren't going to give a fuck if people disapprove.
Not even getting into substantive issues, the people who loudly proclaim their feminism online are usually total fucking jackasses since honest people see little need to hide behind the concept of "feminism", as if it's a shield against criticism.
Overall, a more substantive survey would just be better. Or really anything beyond "self ID with a broad and contentious label".
Ahh, yes. The only possible reason I could want to make progress is because it's edgy. How about you go somewhere else if you're only interested in dismissing everything out of hand
I mean it makes sense. Feminism has become quite the loaded term as of recent, and young people are going to be a lot more distanced from the earlier wages of feminism.
Awful take. Parents don't need to be 24/7 surveilling their kids.
Not putting up with bullshit just because it might hurt someone's feelings, for one.
Not really, no. People aren't working off some master database of language that pushes updates out universally. They're working from their own understanding based on their own life experiences. Someone born in 1973 will have a very different socialization and bundle of personal experiences than someone born in 2002.
