[quote=@Penny] Anyone who would suggest that sexism isn't a thing, is so utterly divorced from reality that no response other than amusement is appropriate. I don't see the need to bare my soul and share personally painful experience to no purpose. [/quote] The quote I am assuming you are referring to is below for the sake of transparency. [quote=@The Harbinger of Ferocity]However, I have still yet to see a case of legitimate or potentially valid misogyny that demonizes women within my life and lifetime. This is not to say it has not or does not happen, as that would be far flung, but I can only report reliably on what I know of in concrete and through repeat observation.[/quote] No, I did not suggest sexism is not a thing and I in fact said the exact opposite. I said I still have yet to be involved in or witness actual misogyny. You can even note my word choice to reflect what I later revealed in an unrelated conversation and to another person. I explicitly say that it does happen and that any notion it does not is far flung, but its reliability as an issue or area for concern is of questionable status. Your "amusement" is ill placed and displays poorly of your person and conduct in this debate, as is the attempt to bring into question my perception of reality. I respectfully ask you treat other peoples' opinions how you wish for your own to be treated. Thus far I believe I have not laughed at or ridiculed anyone here, to include you, for thinking that sexism is somehow a "big problem" despite my disagreement with that argument.
