Wow, you got dog piled on for pointing out this simple truth.
Thanks for fighting the fight. I'm a couple decades younger than you starting to fight the fight for the next generation of women as well.
Pointing out the issues women face is completely valid. Even going so far as indicating that women receive a lot, or even a majority of this toxicity from men is totally fine too.
But suggesting men are the only ones who talk trash is completely disingenuous and destroys credibility. Lashing out with juvenile comebacks like "you crying now?" Is the icing on the cake.
Do better than OP if you want to be successful.
Lastly don't attribute downvotes to "dogpiling" because the reality is they made a shit argument and supported it shittily. That earns downvotes from folks of all opinions.
I don't need you to give me advice on how to be successful. If I am looking for it, I'll ask, thank you.
The rest of your reply doesn't even merit a reply.
You're on an open forum, expect anyone to be able to speak to you if you post. I am free to do so. I disagreed with your use of the phrase dogpiling, and replied as such
Your replying at all declares the merit. :^)
You can tell these people really hate it when they don't get the last word in.
It blows my mind how much the boomers and this current teen/early adult generation seem to have in common... A real step back in technological literacy, critical thinking skills, and ability to scrutinize reputable sources.
Also like many of the boomers is their inability to handle dissenting information/evidence counter to their internalized beliefs. They just shutdown and reorient themselves with comforting information/reassurance seak from their in-group (e.g., FB, reddit echo-chamer).
This is my subjective perspective of course, and I want to point out I'm not asserting it as fact like a jackass.
It's not the truth, though.
Yes, maybe it is true that the majority of body shaming comments come from me. I don't know. But it is 100% not true that "it's always men." Hell, that's so easily disprovable that anyone who believes it is being willfully ignorant.
I seriously doubt the majority of comments come from men. That it's what they fixate on, is a different matter.
