Hey now, lets not bring out the tone police. If jleopold is seriously worried, those are reasons he shouldn't be. I could pretend he won't get those benefits and let him continue being worried so I don't go sounding mean to your ears but that's not going to help him. Though, I reserve the right to snark at unhealthy representations of relationships in all media forms because they literally cause people in real life to be seriously hurt and sometimes killed. I'll even pick on Ms Piggy when the topic arises. Last I heard though, men don't worry that they are underrepresented in STEM. If they did, then your approach would probably be worthwhile since they would actually be assholes.
Sorry I overreacted a bit there (well, probably more than a bit). It just seemed to me that his first post was more about feeling, as an individual, that people don't take him seriously for wanting to be a writer and just expressing his frustration with that.
