It’s very important, and one of the main reasons why I stick with lens. We need more women in decision-making positions, more women building, and more women speaking up. This is the fastest and best way to change the world for the better.

The world built by men is falling apart, driven by greed, ego, and stupidity, with wars breaking out every few years. We need women to teach us how to communicate and build close-knit communities. We need to reignite family values, decency, and compassion for strangers.

So I’m with you, ladies. We need change, and we need it as fast as possible.

Paris, I agree with you 100%.

I come from a family of strong women, and I think you and I unfortunately share the same pain.

As Iranians, we understand what happens to a society when the rights of its women are violated. It opens the door to hell. A society without women’s rights diminishes and dies.

However, I would like to bring to your attention that harassment and bullying are not exclusively male phenomena, and I had to learn this the hard way here on Lens.

I’ve been personally targeted for excessive harassment and defamation by certain individuals on this platform to an extent that I even considered seeking legal help. Now, what does my story have to do with your post?

I just want to bring to your attention that certain individuals on this platform are using the umbrella of feminism and the idea that “girls can do whatever they want” to systematically defame, attack, and destroy the reputation of other users in such unfair ways that you can’t even imagine. And when people try to defend themselves, they are labeled as misogynists or worse. I’m sure you can imagine how frustrating this can be for the person in that situation.

I’ve always been a defender of women’s rights, especially given my background. People should be measured by their actions and not by their gender. That is not up for debate.

But please, let’s also make sure that we build a platform where everyone is protected and believed equally, regardless of their gender.

Let’s always listen to both sides and let’s not support actors who use the good intentions you stated in your post as a loophole to ruin the reputation of anyone they wish.

I love that Lens is having lots of amazing girlies building projects, and posting everyday!

Something that’s nice, from a personal experience, is knowing that as a girl i have other girls who will defend me if something happens. Creating a “girls girl” culture is important beyong technology.

having the possibility to block, report on-chain is great! I would still think it would be great to have an option to completely block someone like in web2, meaning that the user won’t get any access to someone’s profile. This is to protect us and make us feel even more safe. Not sure if it’s possible though.
