Can you show me an example of this happening?

You said it happens all the time. Can you show me what you’re talking about?

Are you saying you won’t take my word for it as a man that my experiences as a man have included a pattern of being invalidated and erased in spaces where people talk about the problems they face?
Imagine if the roles were reversed. Imagine a man saying “You said it happens all the time. Can you show me what you’re talking about?” to a woman who says she’s experienced a pattern of treatment by society.

Literally any community that is mostly women when someone complains about a guy issue
Or the numerous accounts of women finally acknowledging some things men have been complaining about for years once trans men start talking about them (alienation, mental damage from constantly being treated like a predator by default, etc)

If it’s a women’s community, that’s very understandable. A man will find better answers for a guy issue in a men’s community. Same as if a woman posted a women’s issue in a men’s community - it would be inappropriate and out of place.
Is this community mostly men or a men’s community and thus women are not allowed to post from their perspective?

Sure. There’s stupid complaining cunts in both genders. I’ll say the same thing to both.
