You had told me with what sounded like extreme confidence that I would +1 your app when I finish reading it.
Let me break it down to make it absolutely certain with you that I am being serious and not just trying to "meme:"
-Your biggest sales pitch is "I'm going to fix the issues of how women are treated." Noble cause, but I just wish you would talk more in detail on what you believe the "constant toxicity" is. There are those who would make an argument that the staff team is a source of toxicity through bias and inconsistency. Why not address working on that? As a Moderator, you're the bridge between lower staff and admin. You need to be a pillar of influence for the others, and a great start to do that is by not only addressing toxicity throughout the REGULARS/DONORS, but also putting in effort to try and limit/eliminate staff bias as much as humanly possible. This argument of saying the toxicity only comes from one source is infuriating to see, as it suggests that there are no problems with the staff and that all the problems come from regulars who screw around too much; that might not be at all what you're trying to say, but that is exactly how I am interpreting it.
-Your caption makes this hard to take seriously; you're applying for an important position on the server yet you're making some dumbass title like this.
-You seem to do a lot of brownnosing at the end, which begs the question of if you are actually capable of fixing toxicity, or will you just purge out those that the others in the staff team believe are toxic without questioning it? I honestly have no idea if you're capable of thinking for yourself if you want me to be completely honest, as with my brief time being on the staff team with you, I never see you trying to see things from another angle. Forum comments you have made in the past month also indicate to me that you're part of a herd.
You could argue that I'm being overdramatic/petty with these responses, but I genuinely believe everything I just stated.
I am giving you a +0 for these reasons. Best of luck on your application, Rand.
