Comment on The one drawback to walking at night
stevedice@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks agoEnacting change is not the point of the post, it’s just a woman making a joke about the way she experiences life to others who may experience life in the same way. Men just got their feelings hurt and now, instead of trying to prove they’re not sexist, they’re in full denial about the rampant oppression women live every day.

Of course women experience oppression. I’m nonbinary and outwardly feminine and I get a fraction of that derision directed towards me as well. But because I won’t paint that as some inherent failing of people with XY chromosomes and point to social issues instead, gender essentialists get mad, and gender essentialists really engage with these posts.
