project much?

Of course I was harmed by "gender role enforcing" but that harm was not placed upon me by feminists but by the same folks they oppose.

But offsetting the debits of being a man that does not like sports and can't be bothered with Machismo is the fact I am automatically listened to in meetings, I get paid more, objectified less (possibly untrue as I am very good looking) and walk at night and go on dates without the thought of Rape even coming up.

Buck up kid and join the fight. Victimhood is not something to be sought. Sure we all got grouses but stop being about yourself and help people that got bigger ones. I say this speaking for all men every single one including you. Even dead guys...even mrmers and other misogynists. All men everywhere I am their spokesman.

Also never say intersectionality to me again I am a victim Social Science P.H.D. and it is a trigger word.

    I'm not going to bother you with my much more considered viewpoint.

Imma tell you straight, if someone said that to me in a discussion I'd be ticked off, and your comment above comes with absolutely no context or justification behind it. Why would you think your viewpoint was any more considered? Literally, out of left field, a dismissal with no justification, which is why it didn't work as a dismissal.

    I...didn't say this.

Totally correct. You did not say that JV was harmed by "gender role enforcing". In fact you said he wasn't. JV is presenting the fact that your statement is incorrect, and he is then stepping forth and saying where he perceived that harm comes from. All you are responsible for is saying:

    It's great that you went through life without facing or suffering from gender role enforcement

which is yet another totally unjustified statement that assumes a whole lot more about JV than I think he does about you.

So why are you asking about his attitude again?

You're absolutely right. I threw the first ill tone. I should be better than this.
