The unwanted DMs continue.
Let me be clear: unsolicited DMs to anyone from any gender are unacceptable.
But women have faced sexual harassment for centuries: unwanted touching, denigration, sexual comments, & worse.
Male Offenders: learn self control & GTFO if you can’t.

Without trying to be argumentative or blaming, IMO, the most important & influential person in every person's life is their mother. I don't get why women are letting their sons grow up to be assholes to women.
@tomes07.bsky.social ◀ Just got another one sliding in. Blocked.
Yeah - I'm obviously not using my real name or image. I have PTSD from witnessing the horrendous abusive attacks on the ❌Bird🖕🐦app.
Seriously, my avatar is m dog. What about that says “Please invade my privacy and yes, I want to date you?” 🤮
Guys - it's very easy to wait for a woman's permission before sending them a DM online, even if you think you know them a little.

Their only goal is to goad you into response like a bored, naughty school boy taunting a younger child. They are bullies are hard to shame because they are also jackasses.
The f’ng patriarchy. Stupidity. I’ll let you know if I come up any other reasons 😂
We need a button , 1 click and their message is In the ‘feed of shame.
I have no pain and the only disaster is trump. 😆
So true.
I will set mine to "Users I follow" right quick if anyone starts harassing me.
BREAKING news on my page: election was hacked
It's about intent + what is said.
Regardless of gender.

Yeah, my rule is don't say things privately that you wouldn't say publicly.
Once words leave your mouth, they're not yours anymore.
Y’all behave
5 DMs so far, 100% women
Not sure why social media sites insist on setting up DM capabilities
There are ways to contact people OUTSIDE of social media sites if you really need to contact them
Wake up the next morning, check my notifications, boom, 4 DMs.
“Hey Lorraine, how you doin’.”
I guess my 1st mistake was assuming my request would be read & honored. 😡
Followed!
Believe them when they show you who they are!
Use the block lists.
Look at who they follow and it’s all middle aged men like me. No women on their follows.
Not a fan of catfish. Bottom feeders.🤣😜
I woke up salty, obvs.
Look at my avatar. It is my dog. My profile clearly states: English Prof. Mom. Wife. NAFO. FAFO.
THEY DO NOT CARE.
They go into detail, thinking it will make you interested, but it makes me grab a bucket.
🤢🤢🤢
Bluesky should consider making "allow messages from no one" the default as the feature seems to attract bad actors.
Another messaging app is not critical for public news, discussion, and interaction which is where bsky excels.
Like, not every guy is a piece of shit but every woman you know has been the victim of a piece of shit.
I did it and it's a much better environment.
No more DM's or only from people you follow

I’m snapping the whip today. The nanny state has collapsed. Get down and walk. Want dinner, expect to do the dishes every other day, not once a week w a bad attitude. Done.
NAH...
You have a right to not have unwanted advances, and to not be bothered.
