    Because you all constantly bring up the fact that men are abused whenever women talk about their suffering in order to invalidate what they’re saying.

    And now that the shoe’s on the other foot, you complain.

    And while you’re squabbling with me over it, the slave racket will keep churning out more crushed souls.

      “Every time there’s discussion about women’s issues there’s men who try to divert it to their problems and that’s annoying, therefore women should do the same thing so that men get annoyed too”.

      Is that really how you want this to work? An eye for an eye?

        Should I even bother justifying that with a response knowing you won’t ever listen or care unless it happens to a man anyway?
