Like a virus, silencing tactics
always adapt and evolve.
Tonya GJ Prince
“Where are all the feminists?”
I abhor this question.
People say “feminists” but we all know that they mean women.
“Women come clean up this mess on aisle 7 that male-dominated leadership made.”
But for argument’s sake, I’d like to take it on today….
Silencing Tactics Evolve
I don’t mind challenge.
It sharpens you.
It makes you better.
I embrace it.
I welcome the discomfort. Not to be confused with disrespect and violence, but the discomfort of disagreement that seeks compromise and solution.
But what we’re dealing with in this era of social media is not sharpening and improving. It is a demand for compliance and submission. And no one side has clean hands in this.
Like David Tennant told you, even those males on the left want women to cease to exist but they will accept your silence as consolation.

X
Various people on X(formerly Twitter) have noticed a targeted censorship pattern.
- As of this morning, former Labour councilor & director of LGBAlliance Ann M. Sinnott’s account has been suspended. Her account on X often addressed gender and policy.
- Low visibility for tweets for certain accounts
- Odd and random suspensions
- Accusations of sensitive content for content that clearly is not
- “Bots” following accounts and mass reporting them as “spam”.
- Accounts “stuck” at a certain number
- Unfollowing accounts that you have not unfollowed.
- Meanwhile, porn accounts and people who threaten violence are left untouched.
I’ve experienced most of these tactics ……and it led me to seek out premium private spaces online. Blocking, muting, and unfollowing worked for a short while but it wasn’t enough.

- in-person seminars,
- webinars,
- walking clubs,
- ministry groups,
- healing circles
- book clubs
- newsletters
