abbotsbury@lemmy.world 9 months agoI’m sorry why is it okay to make fun of guys for being traumatized by women but not vice versa?
Maybe we should extend compassion to everyone instead of removing it for “equality.”
Sorry you had some shitty experiences with women, that sucks, but if your reaction is “everyone should get this shitty treatment” then I kinda lose sympathy for you because you’re putting more hate into the world.

Do you even understand what quotation marks mean? WeirdGuy didn’t say that.

I wasn’t literally quoting him.

Which is totally fine. Your usage of them as you did would be called a scare quote.

You sure as shit don’t. They used the quotation marks just fine. So fine in fact, that this usage you are so against is a well established grammatical device, look up “scare quotes”.
