History of Feminism

to dismiss what was being said. and i thik that in defending a privilege, to be able to say, i dont do that, to not have to really own what is happening in a group and how it effects the people the behavior is being directed at, there is an intent to find something, anything, to dismiss what is being said. so, a person does not have to own it. or think twice in doing it.

i think it is an excuse.

as a woman and literally decades of males doing this to me, i know a little more about it than you. and i know the effect it has on a woman more than you. there is not only this article, but a thread giving an example of the behavior and another link to results of this behavior, for women.

if there is ONE little thing in the whole of the OP you dont agree with, yet understand the rest of the OP, why would it warrant an attempt to dismiss it all.

i never do that with anything. i will take what i can gain from it, learn, grow and move on.
