If you think this thread doesn't belong with the music threads, or if you think it shouldn't be here at all, shame on you and your toxic masculinity

The thread was started by a male who has made it clear that he intentionally put it in the music section and has objected to it being moved. A female Mod has declared that it doesn't belong in the music section and, presumably, moved it below the line. Not everything can be blamed on "toxic masculinity".

Is the music actually part of the context, .....

In my opinion, the thread belong above the line because music is, most definitely, part of the of the context. It provides the setting where the abuser can operate. Musical accomplishment may start with raw talent but it is drawn out by those with more experience. This generally puts older musicians in a dominant position to those just starting out. Music tuition can often be on a one-to-one basis. Of course, the vast majority of musicians are not abusers but the few who are can cause untold damage.

Abuse takes place in all walks of life but, as people involved in folk music, it is incumbent on us to watch out for where it might be happening in the folk music world. Discussing this above the line may also act as a reminder to genuine, caring musicians not to put themselves into situations which could be misinterpreted.
