This is a perfect example of how not to engage men on this topic.
I said "I'm genuinely curious", which was a chance for opening a dialogue.
You respond by using implicature to paint me in such a negative light.
Did you do it because you're being defensive of the article, or because you're being defensive of the ideas in the article?
I don't know, and I don't care, what I do know is that if I can't trust you to be reasonable with something like written text that you can go back and read again to make sure you got the meaning (and ask for clarification), why should I trust your experiences?
and that is an honest question.
If you had any idea the damage you do to yourself and your beliefs with that behavior, I suspect you would take steps to stop doing it.
There are many, like myself, who don't want to deal with it, and certainly don't want to deal with being treated like that. As they say, two wrongs don't make a right, stop treating men in this manner.
Playing the victim card, even if it's sometimes valid, doesn't actually help you.
