    You claim to want to help men but you insult weakness and drag down people trying to help? I’m sorry, but this undermines everything you’re trying to say. At this point I can’t even be sure you’re not simply a misogynist troll play acting as a leftist.

    If you truly care about helping people, consider that attacking other people trying to help is counterproductive. Also consider that your approach is clearly combative, and that anger is something you need to address.

    I’m not blocking you because I don’t know if you’ll see this if I do. But if you reply, I’ll know you have.

      You need to accept the discomfort of disagreement or you don’t have my respect. This isn’t just weak shit, it’s repugnant: stop trying to police tone. I’m not a misogynist troll just because your feelings got hurt or whatever it is you’re trying to cover up.

      Weakness doesn’t stop existing just because you’ve read enough theory.

      Also consider that your approach is clearly combative, and that anger is something you need to address.

      Don’t delegitimize anger, that’s basically why you’re failing here and generally. No shit it’s combative. So what?

      Just because you’re trying to help doesn’t mean you’re good at helping. You feel motivated to block me, that’s another man for the trash can who thought his feminist credentials would, by themselves, prevent his opinions from being critiqued.
