Yes. When a person is inflicting harm and excusing it, pointing it out isn't wrong just because there are mitigating circumstances behind why the person reacts as they do. You still have the harmful behavior going on.

It's about you, Lem, and your reactions. It's not abstractly about women and men. You own your own responses regardless of whether or not you see it as valid or excusable, meeting others where you believe they are at in an otherwise unequal position if you didn't respond in that way, etc.
You abstract it like you did above for a reason. It's to distance yourself from what you say as an individual to other individuals, and to deflect criticism of that speech YOU make as symptomatic of systemic problems.
Again, own your crap, Lem.

That is sexist. Only cowards talk to women like that. You are not a man Sir.Some Schmo wrote: ↑Tue Apr 20, 2021 4:15 amGo F yourself.Lem wrote: ↑Tue Apr 20, 2021 4:04 amWhat are YOU trying to accomplish? It was a pretty complete thread before you got on here with your “I have no idea what a woman is like” divide, and you’ve done nothing but trash me, in a dozen or so posts, for having a sincere issue.
So I ask again, what are YOU trying to accomplish? and whatever it is, can you please take it elsewhere?

make a pass can mean "to do or say something that clearly shows one wants to begin a romantic ... relationship with (someone)"Some Schmo wrote: ↑Mon Apr 19, 2021 10:57 pmI'll never know what it's like to have someone 30 years older than I am make a pass at me.
There are single mothers struggling to find a man with financial stability. It is the man who has to make the first move, nothing wrong with healthy flirting. A lot of young single mothers are having a hard time paying the bills every month.
If I am single when I am in my 40s I'd be interested in women 20 years younger. Single mothers really want a better life for their children.Some Schmo wrote: ↑Sun Jul 25, 2021 4:06 amNothing like getting a rebuke about sexism from some dude who's only interested in women 15-20 years younger than they are.doubtingthomas wrote: ↑Sat Jul 24, 2021 7:49 pmThat is sexist.

Nobody's forgotten your douchery, man.
