Firefist Oops! 3 days ago But yeah. Women being over the top and screaming about male privilege is usually something that makes me kick their shins Firefist Oops! 3 days ago You can't fight for equal rights or any amount of understanding if you automatically take a combative stance and shoot down the messenger or help
not seeing how there's anything wrong with that? she's right, being over the top about any cause is a bad thing if you're trying to get people to agree with you by browbeating them into submission rather than having any sort of actual discussion.
protip: when women are mad about male privilege and the dumbshits who whine about how unfair feminism is, we're not trying to make friends or "win" people over
Yeah except that in most cases I've seen, it's less someone walking into your house and punching you in the face and more someone accidentally elbowing you in the side on the bus. In the first case you'd be well within your rights to be pissed off, no one is going to argue that.
But if you flip your shit in the second case, the only one being an asshole is you.
that's not what's happened in most cases you've seen
you just don't understand what you're seeing
that guy on the bus didn't accidentally elbow that woman once. he's been doing it since he got on the bus. and when she asked him to stop he protested that he wasn't not doing anything wrong and she's just being a bitch because she wants something from him

And you're the one person with their pants on the head chiming in that their incoherent screaming is totally correct.
