It should be. But many men don't see that as a negative but as a positive. They want to torture us.

It unfortunately is something very common with people, even outside of feminist circles. In the end, people care the most about the people they're closest to and that also is how very many people choose their positions.

Well, there is a classic response to that. You bomb it the moment it crosses the border. And other than that, just declare a blockade (in full accordance with international law) and do the same thing the Entente did in WW1. Or in the second round for that matter.
And honestly, it's beyond stupid to pick a fight with the people who control your water and food supplies.

That partially is true, but sometimes rehashing arguments, especially in a slightly different social context can be very helpful to come to a better understanding. It's the difference between reading about something and discussing it. One leads to much more thought than the other.

Generally, compartmentalizing works very well because people tend to like being surrounded by people they agree with. After all, in many places, if you don't agree with the local consensus, you will constantly be bombarded with things that give negative feelings and very little in the way of confirmation. It's just what people like. That also is why echo chambers can come into being so easily.
Radical feminist content also has a more specific disadvantage when it comes to social media platforms. It's not easy and simple. There aren't many specific memes to share, so to say. So that means that more effort is needed than just reposting some anti-troon cartoons. It's the same reason why you don't see many deeper discussions on such platforms. Personally, I think that the old forum structure was much better than the Feed-based platforms like we're on, let alone image or short video based ones like Insta and TikTok. At least, for slightly more involved discussions. Real-life of course is infinitely better still.
That said, there is a reason why this style of platform has generally won out. For one, there are more systems to provide positive feedback to users but, perhaps more importantly, they are engineered to grab moments of attention and sharing along with the feeling of being more personal.

That probably is part of the problem. Quite a few women here have blocked me as well, mostly because of disagreements on other political topics which have come up. I personally try not to block anyone (except if someone is harassing me or the like) because I like discussion, even with those I disagree with because it helps refine my thinking.
But I think that the main reason is a much deeper issue. And that's the general focus on the whole trans thing. Of course, it's insane. Everyone here knows it. The problem is that in many other online spaces that's something that can't be voiced so this place is used a a release valve for that, especially because many women are pretty desperate about it all. It's also one of the few things everyone here agrees on so you indeed get a lot of positive feedback. And then you get the classic social media feedback loop.
I however don't think that that's the only issue with the trans topic. I think that it also is something that has a lot of media presence and, fundamentally, is a pretty simple situation. Other feminist topics either aren't discussed at all or are, to some extent, more broadly accepted.

Outrageous! It's called Imperial Guard vs Sisters of Battle! Down with these neonames!
It's been ages since I played it. One of my girls is into it so she has a huge amount of tanks and the like. My youngest then got jealous so I gave her some things as well but she doesn't really do a lot with those space marines which she did say are all girls who are smart enough to wear helmets.
