Ok, Ivy. I was trying to have a conversation because your thoughts on my piece mattered to me, but clearly that was a mistake. As was following you. Your misguided anger toward me is self righteous, and completely judgmental. You think my piece is misogynistic, that is your opinion, and I respect that even if I don’t agree with it, but you are making all kinds of incorrect assumptions based on YOUR life not mine and reacting to the assumptions and not the truth of the situation. Your comments on my piece stay with the piece for as long as it is on Medium. While I welcome them even if they are not positive, of course I want to respond whether you give a shit or not, as you aren’t the only one who will read them. Believe it or not, you are not the only person who has been through hell and back. My writing is important to me. You read something I wrote and didn’t like it so you commented on it. That is the beauty of Medium. A means to share and exchange, and I welcome that, but it is YOU who is being antagonistic.
