am oh so mean to the men with what i say is garbage.

that is not lashing out.

you decided you had the right to literally throw shit at me to see if it would stick. it is not the reality in my life. i get to call you on the shit you throw at me.

not lashing out. calling it out.

i have had decades, a lifetime of wonderful men and boys in my life to love and be loved. it is so insulting and offensive to have you and others tell me and others, that the reason we fight the battles we do is because we are emotionally crippled from experiences with men in our lives.

it offends me. but much greater, it is such a damn insult to every man and every boy in my life that loves and is loved.

i really hope you think twice, before giving someone this garbage, with as offensive as it is.
