I believe in addressing bad behavior on an individual basis, regardless of the offender's demographics. I'll wager that I'm far less tolerant of such behavior

I believe in addressing bad behavior on an individual basis, regardless of the offender's demographics. I'll wager that I'm far less tolerant of such behavior than you are. If you want to change the world, name calling and gaslighting such as this is not the way to do it.

>I believe in addressing bad behavior on an individual basis, regardless of the offender's demographics I mean... >>It's been kind of shocking to discover that despite decades of strong support for women, lesbians included, I've suddenly been deemed the enemy, by mere dint of being a man. ...clearly you have no issue with labeling bad behavior by women and/or feminists as a group, unless your earlier comment was in reference to some unnamed individual woman, which would be a really weird non-sequitur, so I don't see why you can't do the same for men. Culture exists. Group dynamics exist. Men, like women, are individuals as well as members of a complex and interconnected set of social, political and cultural identities. One can recognize bad behavior in an individual while also accepting that behavior can be systemic, and that men have been facing something of a crisis of identity and purpose in the face of feminism. I don't think it's incorrect to suggest that this crisis of identity has manifested some harmful traits, such as an unnecessary defensiveness in the face of criticism. After all, there was nothing in the posted commercial that was an attack on all men or on you personally, yet your response to it was to express how women have apparently betrayed your trust and deemed you an enemy for your gender. That seems an awful lot like a persecution complex to me. >I'll wager that I'm far less tolerant of such behavior than you are. I don't know why you would, but ok.
