Comment on mindset
wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 4 hours agoThese are the kinds of subtle undertones that one learns to read as a man in society simply by the experiences and microaggressions that one’s received since boyhood. They’re not always overtly stated.

Where did I lump all men in as “the patriarchy”? It’s not fair to lob an accusation and then say it’s in subtle undertones. Subtle undertones where? In what comment?
Another specific accusation. Where did I say men can’t or shouldn’t talk about their problems or feelings? Which comments contain the microaggressions suggesting this?

That’s a very interesting statement considering I used the same argument that women often use to talk about their experiences. Odd how it suddenly doesn’t apply when a man makes the same argument…

I haven’t used that argument and I’m not all women.

You’re right, you’re not all women. So just because you haven’t used the argument doesn’t mean no woman has ever.
But guess what? Being a man and simply not making misogynistic arguments about women isn’t enough to protect one against criticisms aimed at “men” as an abstract whole.
Responding to those criticisms with “I’m not like that” or “I don’t do that / haven’t said that” gets hit with the “nOt AlL mEn!!1!” ridicule…
