    No, we just treat it at face value, knowing little of the real situation.

    And reality is, men ARE abused and harrassed by women, and it’s much harder for them to speak out about it. Which makes it even more important not to distrust these stories straight from the start - they get their dose of distrust and victimblaming everywhere else.

        That’s not an actual reply to the point they made. I know it feels good to call someone a child but it’s more effective to actually address the discussion.

            I speak to people on the level they’ve shown they should be spoken to, if that’s kindergarten so be it.

                    No you misunderstand but that’s ok.

                    I was saying you have to speak to people on their level. Sometimes you need to say things in a different way, you might have to rephrase it for a different audience or even “dumb it down” for some of the simpler people on the internet.

                    Like I’m doing now.
