A sweeping generalization


I did say "in my experience", which is true and valid for the feminists I have come across.

Am I supposed to be not able to relay my personal experiences because these experiences could be perceived as 'bashing' a group, in this case those that come under the umbrella of feminism?

It sounds a lot to me like you are pleading for the censorship of my post, most likely in a self-serving way.

blitzkrieg makes some good points. I would like to add a problem that needs to be properly addressed: the shorter life expectancy of men compared to women.

Two things. While both sexes are slotted into low paying jobs I still think women in general are slotted more. For example I go to a place where there are lot of doctors. A good percentage of the doctors are women. That has changed drastically during my lifetime. The people who check me in are women as are the people who take me to the office, take my blood pressure, ask if anything has changed since my last appointment. When I leave the person who schedules my next appointment are women.

Feminist advocacy groups like most advocacy groups have limited resources. It is too much of an ask to expect feminists to spend more then a cursory amount of time advocating for men. That is on us. It seems like we either do not advocate for ourselves or advocate in a manner that blames women.

Two people have commented positively on my post, thanks BillyTree and Rossall. I hope this is enough for my post not to be subject to censorship.

A simple request to stop bashing feminists results in further bashing of feminists.

That results in a locked thread.
