My takeaway from this thread overall: people can be hypersensitive to misogyny, whilst being either ignorant of or insensitive to misandry*.
*Depending on your position, misandry may or may not actually be a thing.

Well, it did confuse me and I am sorry for doubting the level-headedness you usually display in touchy conversations such as this one.
And I want to state very clearly, that I don't hate men. There are men who participate on this site whose opinions of women I do not respect and the level of tolerance and commiseration for these opinions here has always bothered me. So much so that I eventually stopped contributing to these types of discussions at all. In fact, I think this is the first time in a couple of years that I have posted to a thread about male/female relations at TFP. And it already feels like a mistake.
aberkok, thank you for being forthright enough to address my comments without being ridiculously defensive.
