This is not coming from a place of anger. I just truly with all my heart wish to be able to get along and respect each other. Men, I have been in your space for so long. I have received so much backlash recently for posting things that I thought were thought-provoking, accurate representations of how I have felt over the course of my life, and still feel to this very day. They were met with resistance because people (men) felt attacked and that the author was saying that "all men do ______, and they do it with malice." I got the total opposite from the article.
And I think that the common denominator is that we both, men and women, read it with different expectations. We both expected to either feel shitty and like the article was accusing, attacking, or we expected to feel validated, like our feelings this whole time weren't imagined, that the injustices were still alive and kicking. And they are.
