I'm not picking a fight. I have been patient and fair in all my responses. I've already said this many times, but people were already talking about the way women suffer from body policing when I first viewed this post.
Your very first post was saying "men's issues don't matter because women have it so much worse"
My first comment was that men do not experience body policing the same ways women do. That if you disagree you probably don't understand misogyny. I never said that men's issues don't matter.
That's absolutely what you implied. And it's the result of this line of conversation.
You can't just say "I never said men's issues didn't matter". That's an "I'm not touching you, I'm not touching you" level of technicality. If you're going to bring up women's issues, the very least you can do if you're discussing in good faith is to acknowledge and legitimize the issues that prompted this post in the first place - the unrealistic body standards of men.
By not even mentioning it until called out, you're being dismissive.
I'm responding to misinformation, that's my only reason for commenting. I never implied that men's issues didn't matter.
You don't see how it could be belittling to aggressively ignore men's issues, in a post about men's issues, so you can talk about women's issues?
How am I "aggressively ignoring" men's issues? I was responding to people in this thread.
