>women should be allowed to have a space to speak anonymously

It was only anonymous for the women speaking there, but not for the men they were speaking about, hence the justified outrage, since strangers are gossiping/slandering you in a public online space behind a 2$ entry fee.

Would you also support if men had their own such public "safe spaces" to gossip anonymously about real women with their names? I can assure you it would be shut down immediately.

So then why do we allow double standards? I thought we were supposed to have gender equality?

So your concern is that it’s paywalled?

Because like the earlier comment points out, letting anonymous people trash talk real people and name them is a core feature of 4chan.

The concern is that it is exclusive to only women, not only allowing, but encouraging them to post narratives about men who are not allowed on the app by policy. How is anyone going to verify the truth of these claims except the man, who is not allowed to look?

no its not. 4chan is meant to be ephemeral. threads vanish quickly and they arent archived by 4chan.org. you cannot search the website for peoples names and there is no data structure for finding and contributing to a “file” on individual people. and when doxxing of anyone especially a woman occurs it is taken down by any mod who notices it because it could create a huge legal headache. so youre literally completely wrong. weird

> why do we allow double standards

Yeah, why do we allow them.

Women: Notoriously prone to gossip.

Men: Notoriously prone to murdering romantic partners (most women who are victims of homicide are killed by a current or former romantic partner).

People on the internet: It's these gossiping women who are the problem.
