It would be interesting to know why you think that. IIRC, I talked about "if you are a victim of sexual harassment" and carefully avoided gendering that part. As best I could, I framed it as "Currently, men are primarily the ones in positions of power and we currently have a climate that is actively vilifying men in general and I would like to not see us keep going down that road." Given that I am advocating we not go down a route of witch hunts actively looking for men to accuse, I don't see how I could have written that part without gendering it at all.
So specifics as to why it sounds that way to you (or anyone who felt it sounded that way) would help me improve my writing.
Thanks for commenting.

- ErikVandeWater 9y agoCool to talk to the writer directly. You're first selected quote is indeed not gendered. I could not find your second quote. Perhaps that is from another piece you wrote? The article overall is very gendered: 14 instances of the word "woman" nearly all in the context of women being victims, none as perpetrators, and no mention of men as victims.
- Mz 9y agoThank you for replying. The second one is not a quote. It is more like a TLDR of the overall article.
