The number of examples I have seen of people being told to shut up about their lived experiences with sexual abuse in the past 24 hours on this platform is deeply disturbing.

I am calling on y’all to take a deep breath and listen to women for once. There is a time and place for tone policing and it’s never the very minute a woman speaks up.

Literally yes. It's called punching up, and it's pretty well accepted, culturally. It's basically the only trade-off to being vastly more likely to achieve economic and societal status.

And you think that's helpful?

We're not talking about an enslaved group here, but women. Yes, disadvantaged in many areas, but far from being universally inferior in every aspect. If I'm punching up, you know, who I hit? Several women. Hell, my chancellor has been a woman for literally the majority of my life.

Again, what does this achieve? Hostility of those who don't want to be put on the same level as rapists. Instead of blaming the very real predators for their very real crimes, they're blaming every man for being a man. That's not punching up.

If I'm punching up, you know, who I hit? Several women.

You're doing that thing where you accuse black people of being lazy because you were poor once but managed to work hard and find a good job.

In society, women are beneath men. Would you care to argue they're not?

who don't want to be put on the same level as rapists.

Why do you keep self-including into bizarre categories like this?
