My post got banned for being “wrecker behaviour”. I don’t know the community here, I joined because people said Hexbear is trans friendly, can someone explain the terminology? Google has other people using the word but nobody explaining it

    I mean what if she said that as a member of society? Like at her job, or at the christmas family dinner? Would she be a wrecker? What if the mainstream left and the mainstream right in her society were both misogynist and there weren’t any non-misogynist spaces anywhere?

      No, I personally would not consider that wrecker behaviour. We could debate the boundaries of what is considered an organisation which can be ‘wrecked’, but I don’t think that’s productive right now.

      I imagine that if she were to find a place that weren’t misogynistic, she would consider her conduct within that structure and work to support it both against internal and external attacks.

      Wrecker behaviour which detracts from this is directly or indirectly doing the work of the misogynists.

        So you’re saying that if society in its entirety is hostile and oppressive to a minority, then existing as a member of that minority and demanding rights isn’t wrecking?

        How would a minority go about defending themself if they were accused of wrecking for being oppressed and wanting it to stop?
