This makes me sad. I was physically and emotionally abused as a child. I have experienced sexual harassment from both males and females at work. I have been sexually assaulted by a woman. I have also been falsely accused of hitting a woman. I very rarely mention these things because people on both sides (conservatives and liberals) either dismiss it or call me a liar.

I know there are lots of jerks out there who do exactly what you are complaining about, but assuming that everyone who brings up this issue is trying to silence women is dehumanizing. You are, ironically, perpetuating the very behavior you believe you are fighting against.

Then again, after reading your bio, I think it’s safe to assume that dehumanizing males is something you take pleasure in. Does it give you a flood of dopamine?

    Contrarian. Relentlessly critical of my own beliefs. My feelings are, always have been, and always will be irrelevant.
