    I am presenting you with ideas which challenge you and your assumptions about how men and women can best help men, and your response is an offensive and weak insult. When I say man up I don’t mean feel less, I mean modulate your emotions like a damn adult.

      My emotions are modulated. You’re the one that seems to be struggling here. I meant what I said and it wasn’t intended as an insult.

        I meant what I said and it wasn’t intended as an insult.

        That’s stupid and you can’t expect me to believe that.

        Look we’re at a point in time where men are struggling and the body of thought around feminism is adapting to the challenge, poorly.

        You need to be able to talk about that without overreacting histrionically, telling me what you imagine to be wrong with me personally instead of considering what I have to say.

        You asked why it’s getting downvotes.

        like yes I’m reacting in kind so I’m imprecise; I believe you meant what you said, but you’re stupid if you think you aren’t lashing out at me.
