(36,831 posts)"male-centric society" does not mean men get access to women however and whenever they want, and even if it did that dynamic doesn't automatically exist in a smaller online community like DU. In fact, given that male directed sexism almost always gets a pass and the reverse is certainly not true it's not too much of a stretch to suggest that dynamic is not completely reversed or at the very least irrelevant.
If you want to further sexist stereotypes, go right ahead but please don't pretend you should automatically get a pass when someone calls bullshit. The patriarchy is not some convenient scapegoat one gets to use as an excuse for sexism. Denigrating all or most men is just as wrong as doing so for all or most women. It doesn't matter how you preface it.
