I haven’t used Claude in a while. For so long I forgot about my account. I only used it ONCE to ask it for an analysis on one of my stories to see possible interpretations of it, since I’m a writer. Then, randomly today, I got banned with 0 explanation in the ban, saying I had ‘suspicious signals coming from my account’. The account that I haven’t even used?

When I looked on here to see if anyone else experienced that, a lot of people were saying pretty similar things, so just adding my two cents.

My book isn’t even graphic, mind you. It was specifically written to be for all audiences. Not even any cursing.

I also heard of a friend of mine getting her account banned (when she hadn’t used it for a hot minute) with anthropic claiming she’s a child. Mind you, she’s not and she did the age verification and it still wouldn’t budge.

I’ve seen a few people trying to say it couldn’t possibly be for no reason, but Claude is genuinely banning people for no conceivable reason.

Firstly, I just want to say this is a genuine question. I personally am a younger girl in my late teens, and have been seeing that mentality a lot on social media spaces. And at first I thought it was funny, but then I realized a lot of people genuinely believe it?

I’ll see things about women committing atrocities like murder and abuse, and people in the comments are talking about supporting women’s rights and wrongs. Or just, in more light scenarios, insinuating women can’t possibly be in the wrong and should inherently thought to be in the right, and even when it comes to animals (like that lioness that ATE PEOPLE, not limited to men, that people are supporting because she’s titled a man-eating lion) there’s the mentality of “the man must have deserved it”.

It feels very reductive, to me. I get supporting women who are victims and in hard times, and listening to the voices of victims. But refusing to hold women accountable (I know this phrase may rub people the wrong way but it’s the only one I can think of) for their own actions seems misogynistic to me. Like it’s essentially saying women are incapable of doing any harm, and they’re just these inherently unflawed perfect beings who are delicate little flowers.

Is that not strange?

Women are perfectly capable of wrongdoing and atrocity. And just because “X man did X thing that was worse and wasn’t held accountable” doesn’t mean this particular woman can’t be held accountable either. Because said man not being held accountable IS awful, especially for victims, it’s nonetheless awful for anyone harmed by said woman if she’s not held accountable.

I dunno, maybe I’m reading too much into it. But it feels very very infantilizing, like people are trying to move away from the extreme of women being blamed for everything to the opposite extreme of never being capable of being wrong ever, and both just feel very upsetting to me to witness.

Trying to frame women as being perfect and unflawed, to me, feels very dehumanizing. Because humans are not perfect beings, especially in such broad categories.

Sorry if this is too rambly or unclear, or if this question comes across as rude or offensive, I’m just genuinely curious and I’m young, so I want to learn. And I tried searching google but found no answers. And I’m sorry if this comes across as misogynistic as well, because I’m not sure if this is a minority opinion, but it’s genuinely upsetting me seeing how prevalent people taking this mentality seriously and spreading it around is, especially when I thought it was supposed to be just a funnier comment that kind of enforces female solidarity.

I’m not sure if this is a place to ask for advice but it’s the only place I could find. Basically, I made two major mistakes making milkbread. I forgot to activate the yeast first, and then I forgot to check the expiration date. (Which was a month ago). I still tried to salvage it by activating some more yeast in hopes of just adding to the existing dough I had sitting for like an hour before realizing nothing was happening and doubling the batch. I can’t go and get anymore yeast right now and whatever I order won’t arrive until tomorrow morning, so I was wondering if anyone knew if I could just leave the bread overnight then add to it in the morning? I know you can leave it then bake it, but I wasn’t sure if you can leave it then add on
