hi, so i recently discovered im more left wing (democratic) than right wing (republican), but im still not the most politically correct. earlier today we were discussing abortion and i said i felt bad for the women who the anti abortion people affect, but my friend corrected me and said i meant "people who get pregnant", because men (like trans men but still men) can get pregnant. and not all women get pregnant so it doesnt affect them. she said it gently but i feel like an ass</3

That is not what rule 3 means, and you are being hostile for no reason.

If you're looking for support, that's breaking Rule 3.

And no, it's not for "no reason"

This is not Reddit. This is not AITA which Reddit used to be plagued by and people over there treated every subreddit as. This question offers nothing open-ended. This user is just looking for validation and therefore breaks Rule 3.

Cry me a river. Rules exist for a reason. Learn to read or shove off.

Rule 3 clearly states "Not regarding using or support FOR LEMMY". OP's question did not refer to Lemmy, so no rule violation. I also wouldn't simply assume that OP is just seeking validation, they may be genuinely interested in the perspective of others, possibly even those affected by the terms mentioned in the post. Anyway, even if the post did break a rule, there's no need to communicate it this aggressively.

On the other hand, I do agree that AITA can stay with Reddit.
