You know the problem with these claims is that you never know what actually happened.
I find that quite often these threads just reinforce the hate and blindness in people - it doesn't fix anything.
You get called out for kindly offering a woman coffee when you're making yours at the machine. Offering it to a man is ok. Being a woman offering it to a man, the man will looked at as if he's manipulated her to do that. That's fucked up.
This is very bay-area specific, and it's quite toxic.
When you see something that is obviously wrong, or know the facts, do act. Make it stop.
When you don't, be curious - instead of hating with passion. Remember that people are actually innocent until proven guilty. Even if it's cool to hate (specially white males).
Otherwise, it destroys you and the very things you're fighting for. Every single time.

- naturalrecursin 12y agoYou are acting like a fool through-out these comments. I get the feeling that you are projecting your own women hating feelings onto everyone else. If your reason for "believing" someone is only their gender then you sir are sexist.
