am finding gender/discrim/etc topics to be minefield to discuss online. I count many on Twitter as honorary friends (='whose interests I share and respect, follow online & like chatting to regularly') but IRL we'd be talking about this over a beer and it'd work so much better.

This is definitely a digression from the OP. Your first message on this thread came at the end of a particular train wreck of a day for me and it seemed I'd just lost a friend to gender politics, which didn't help.

We definitely need more accountability for overt bad behavior, and there's definitely a lot of that going around (and much of it goes unnoticed). That's what I was trying to acknowledge in the original tweet.

However, what
@drtune pointed out, really going back to the previous thread we had, is that there's a very real problem of "treading on eggshells" when discussing these issues. Between people who broadly agree on social views, it's easy to let small differences of opinion amplify - Show replies

Sorry, "gender politics" was poor word choice. I used that term when privately talking about things that day (not quite in a state of mind to care about words much) and just parroted it back today without thinking. My bad.
