So women are more qualified to speak about women, but men are LESS qualified to speak about men than women are?


I don't know where you got that from, but it's not what I'm saying. I'm not of the school of feminism that thinks women are the kinder, more nurturing sex. I hate that POV. It's bullshit.



What I'm trying to say is: many times I've observed when women explain to men how being cat called at, or told to smile, or grabbed, it's usually waved way with "But it's just a complement! I would love it if women did that to me!" "He was just trying to be nice."

In other words, we're told it can't be as bad as we make it out to be, and we can't possibly know what we're talking about.


I am saying how someone's real life experiences effects them, should be given more weight, then someone who has just read about it, and has no idea what it's like.


90% of what you consider "misogyny" is nothing more than backlash against your own misandry.

And here we go. I'm the man hating feminazi is what you're saying right? *sigh*
