I have been thinking, if I'm ever challenged why I hold such strong feminist views as a man, I need to make a joke that I'm in perhaps somewhat of a special situation, because my mom is actually a woman.
If at this point text analyzers can't parse these self censored texts, then I would be very surprised.
Furthermore, if advertisers don't want to be associated with a topic, beating around the bush by using alternative words still associates them with that topic, it changes nothing.
Well, this one in particular definitely, but others like dth, or unalive, or grape, or sewer slide, or any where the word is censored by scribbling over it or whatever. They know. The topic is still the same. Advertisers are associated with "grape" just as much, context alone makes it abundantly clear. This kind of censorship makes no sense.
Except one case, it drives engagement. People like me will comment about it, it will sprout discussion, not about the topic but the censorship itself. It's the only way I can make anything of it.
Some of the biggest opponents to women's rights have been... women. It's the whole "I managed with this so you should too" (instead of making things better for everyone) bullshit. We see the same with immigration etc as well.
This narrative is endlessly weaponized, deployed in culture wars, racial divisions, and sexism to block progress. People cling to it, mistaking struggle for virtue and comfort for weakness. But life brings enough challenges naturally. We don't need to invent extra hardship to prove our worth.
Well, well, well, another reply-gem in the witches treasure chest.
According to some of replies we women are responsible for the Bezoses, the Zuckerbergs, and the Musks of this world, because we’ve given birth to them.
There’s a special term for this: victim blaming
Guys, we’re used to this, that’s nothing new you came up with, no brilliant thought, no evil esprit just the good old “she asked for it” which we heard so often.

"I have strong feelings about this because my family has a long history of women on my mother's side."

"My mom taught me better" is a shockingly effective argument in a lot of situations
