(110,159 posts)few telling them they should be nicer, while the other group has the ability to behave however they want, i have to wonder about the sincerity for you piece. a PSA was put up. lots of people in the thread supporting the PSA. lots of people talking about personal experience. lots of rec supporting that.
and there was lots of anger, namecalling and attacks from SOME people that did not like the message or did not like the people carrying the message.
yet, your PSA address those that merely put up a post
what are our choices? doing nothing to not disturb others?
i really see no other suggestion
i am sorry, but i have not been unreasonable. i have not been nasty and ugly. i have not done anything but speak out about an issue.
and i am attacked. i am called out. i am the evil of all evil.
i am told it is a push back...
for what?
putting up a psa?
tell me how YOU want US to address it so we are not bothering people or making others uncomfortable or making others attack us.
do you think when someone does not want a message because it invades their comfort zone, that they are not going to create exactly the atmosphere we have, blaming the people with the message and making sure the simple fact an issue is talked about it is creating an animosity to gain support to shut these people up. as far as i am concerned your Op is simply part of creating an atmosphere demanding that our issue not be allowed out of a little room. actually that is not even good enough. if people keep saying over and over ... you are accusing all people, you are seeing everywhere, you are... yet never prove that, just false accusation, it is really easy to create an image that women are really being unfair to men, when in fact it is not true.
over 125 liked the PSA
what about their right to have the message out there.
