When the original Rolling Stone article was posted on TwoX, the skeptics were heavily downvoted to the -100s. They were insulted, called neckbeard trolls, and accused of wanting to rape and kill women themselves. Looks like they were right. Maybe next time we should wait a bit before beating up somebody whose opinion disagrees with the mob.

I used to regularly browse TwoX (full disclosure: I'm a guy, I just liked reading about gender issues and reading a female perspective on things which the rest of Reddit often lacks) but stopped because of that sort of stuff. TwoX is one of the shittiest, hivemindiest subs on the entire site. Anyone who does not agree with the majority opinion is abused and shut out of the conversation entirely.

I'm a woman and I completely agree with you, I actually liked the sub much more now that it's a default. If you don't totes agree with the echo chamber then you're dumb and you should feel bad. There is still a lot of willful ignorance and circle jerking but the sub is so much better than it was a year ago.

And yet now it's called 'not a safe place for women, anymore'... Too often, that 'safety' involves the ability to state extremely controversial opinions without criticism or argument (for example, if you want to sing the praises of abortion that's fine, but you cannot expect to sing those praises without a little dissenting chorus from some people). Too many on this sub don't want 'safety', they want censure.

Yeah, there are a lot of people who don't feel safe if you're not wholly supportive of their opinion. Worse than that, though, is the number of people who just can't follow or parse a conversation. I spent some time mapping arguments on message forums just for fun, and it's incredible the number of times people aren't even capable of responding to the points being made. So many people respond to what they think the intentions of a poster are rather than what the is actually written.
