(110,159 posts)not happening, is you listening. i think that is one of the things that piss men off so much. i listen. no only speak. but listen. i am suggesting... that you are not listening.
the poster you commented to stayed quiet about personal experience for a lifetime. when she finally came out, said it out loud, there were people that called her a liar. she has been told often that she will be heard, if only.... but. thru personal experience she knows that is not true. people will call her a liar, in a very real personal experience, as an insult, to be mean and hurtful. and she knows that people use tone.... as most people recognize and certainly feminists, is merely a ploy from many, to shut women up.
and that men will often pretend to be on our side, support us, if only.... we adjust our tone.
seeing how we all so often walk this path would suggest... we have experiences you do not.
right?
btw. being informed. know the history knowing her experience. i suggest she fuggin speaks out however she feels the need to speak out. and i will respect her for it. each. and. every. time.
i guess that is the difference of knowing and not. listening and not.
you really are fine tuning my argument, so i do appreciate the civility in it. whether we agree or not.
