When women set boundaries on here to protect themselves, it is the zenith of anti-feminism to assert they are wrong to do so or that it's a moral failing. When that strident anti-intersectionality comes from other women, it's deeply hurtful and damaging.

All our lived experience is different. If a woman tells you something makes her unsafe, instead of lecturing her about why you disagree, respect her boundaries. Never tell another woman that she's being silly or dramatic when that is her experience--not yours.

Women from historically marginalized groups are frequent targets of abuse on here and IRL. Many women even protect their accounts for this reason. Disrespecting others' boundaries is misogynist and something to be resisted. These are not hard things to do--respect others.

As a class, women are unsafe. Society and patriarchal violence makes us unsafe. Some are at greater risk: WOC, LBT women, poor women, disabled women. Priorotize our safety. Make space for it. Stop dismissing our lack of safety and our choices to protect ourselves.
