    Granted, no random women came to me on the street

    I’m not trying to play gotcha or nothin but yeah you agree that’s not the same thing. If you want more info, don’t take my random-ass internet stranger’s word for it, ask any of your female friends how very different their experience is to yours.

    And tone check yo, I’m not saying your comment is bad or that it’s bad to try and empathize with the female experience by comparing it to your own as a male. That’s kinda how empathy works, yeah? But if you don’t have that specific experience it’s important to understand you’re only guessing.

    Its just as important, especially cuz we’re on the net to make sure that’s what a commenter is doing, trying to empathize, because tone is tough to gauge in this forum and both bad actors and ignorance abound.
