Is Blind "full of sexist turds"?

I talked to my coworker about Blind and she said "that app is full of sexist turds" and that she couldn't say she was female if she wanted serious responses (not sure how that would come up anyway). I haven't used it much but I haven't seen any sexism. It seems the userbase values TC above gender, race, air, etc. What do you think? TC: 130k

Tell her that she is full of turds

Isn't that true for everyone? Even if you take laxatives, there's always turds left inside you.

True

There are some. All anon forums do that. But we aren't about that as a topic, you're right

I would agree with this. Anonymity often brings out the worst in all of us.

True. I still see it less here than other anon forums I've been on though so I was surprised. If the users have a bone to pick it seems to be about something else besides women.

Yes

The userbase values FAANG TC above all else. Every other kind of TC is scoffed at, no matter how high. So they're elitist, not sexist.

Good point. After I posted I was thinking maybe it's actually about prestige, not TC.

I have definitely had interactions here that made me feel singled out/disrespected based on my gender, yes. I’ve also had those in real life, though, and I don’t overall think the world is full of sexist turds lol. As another comment mentions, I think the anonymity here can make people bolder in expressing their not-so-PC views

Yep, Blind is filled with extreme feminists What's that coworkers TC?

Remind her that blind is a cross section of her workplace without filters. And ask her if she thinks her workplace is full of sexist turds.

EATON Mi8c2 Sep 13, 2019

What would you say to her if she were to say yes to that? I’m curious

Yes this app has been eye opening in the worst way
