Therea no comfort in vindication. That's not what vindication means and that's not what I said.

You're conflating. Again.

Vindication is the semse of feeling of having been proved right, reasonable and justified.

Given the avalanches of male gaslighting that inevitably follow complaints or discourse about problems women face we women try to have, vindication is a very natural reaction to have.

Especially, when one of them mansplaind to us the harm of being constantly undermined, devalued, objectified, and degraded on ones sense of self worth and you think you need to point this out to us because we're such heartless shrews we can't see it.

Seriously! What reaction did you expect to that beyond, "No shit, Sherlock?"

But I'll tell you what's really telling here.

You didn't start arguing inclusively, for everyone, until you got that "misandric" clap back. Before then, it was all about suggesting women do that labor of protecting the fragile little psyches of young men so they won't be harmed while still blatently ignoring the harm we've sufferes for a good long while now and not offering the same for us women.

In the end, these articles men are writing are predominantly labor dumping the problems of men into feminists without reciprocity meant as some kind of a gotcha.

We're not buying it.

Try again.
