I agree with every word! One of the first things I noticed in Reddit's women-centric subs, when I created my first account in 2019, was Redditors agreeing with me but complaining about my tone... and downvoting me because of my tone even though they agreed. Why is tone more important than the statement being made?

"It's not what you say but how you say it" is often said to me (by other women) and false accusations of me being a man, in online spaces, are rampant. Guess I need an etiquette class. Lmao

Yeah, it's considered rude no matter what to criticize people it seems, though. Unless you apologize for it before and after, no criticism is allowed. We must be nice-- OR ELSE!
