Reply #69: I'm not assuming anything - I KNOW WHAT I'VE EXPERIENCED..

[Triana]

MISTER MAN ..and I experienced it for TWENTY-FIVE YEARS.

WHO THE HELL ARE YOU to *tell me* what MY experiences in life have been? OR to DENY them, INVALIDATE them, INTERPRET THEM *FOR* ME, or to MINIMIZE them for me?

YOU ARE SITTING HERE *DOING* JUST EXACTLY WHAT WE'RE DISCUSSING WHILE WE'RE DISCUSSING it.

(being a misogynist)

YOU DO NOT TELL *ME* what I think, what I saw, heard, experienced. YOU DO NOT get to decide whether my interpretation of my experiences are VALID or not, or to tell ME who I am, what I am, how I am, what I think, what I SHOULD think, WHAT my experiences have been, how I ought interpret them, or anything ELSE.

I will TELL YOU. I can speak for MYSELF thankyouverymuch.

YOU have not lived MY life, Mr. Man, AND YOU are NOT QUALIFIED to make any such statements about what I've experienced in it.

YOU.

WEREN'T.

THERE.

YOU HAVE LIVED EXACTLY ZERO days of YOUR life as a woman in IT. ZERO. You are NOT qualified to make any judgements about that.

THANK YOU Mr. Misogynist for PROVING MY POINT exactly about your type!!

Deny. Blame. Minimize. Invalidate. It's what they all do and your previous post covered ALL OF THEM.

Misogynist - methinks thou doth protesteth TOO MUCH.

This is EXACTLY the type of attitude I was talking about. There ya go, folks, right in front of your eyes. Pffft!

My how they crawl out of the woodwork to defend themselves once confronted.
