Hey there, I’ve just downvoted you. The reason why is that you would have never told this to a woman who said “I definitely trust [women] more than I trust [men]. I don’t know what part of what I said sounds like that when I said I don’t trust [men], not people.”, therefore you’re patronizing this person, dismissing their claims and experiences and unusual and ultimately unworthy of being taken seriously. Yes, of course it sounds like there’s very likely some trauma behind her position, just as there’s trauma behind the women who say they’d choose the bear, but that is no proper reason to dismiss them when they want to use their experiences as a parting point to discuss social issues.
I don’t really care that you downvoted me, and I am not being patronizing. I am expressing genuine concern for what they’re feeling, and hope they find resolution to it, whether it’s internal or external. I don’t know anything about their situation, I don’t know the cause, and I’m not going to presume I do. They seem to understand I was not being patronizing. You don’t need to pick a fight for somebody who has no issue with what I said - clearly we were on the same page.
Lol I got you my homie. To be fair, I did feel patronized… but we solved it so that’s wonderful and fantastic and we are still having a good end of our weekend, goddammnit are we not.
