And certain people dismissing this topic with just “think of the children” is unhelpful. It dismisses real pain and hands over the conversation to the worst-faith actors, who are more than happy to fill the void with rage and simplification.
Fucking this. I have little doubt that OP is a lost cause and is just looking troll by “just asking questions” (as evidenced by the fact that he never responds to any genuine and rational comments and only goes for the cheap shots). But never forget that there are people reading these discussions who legitimately don’t know or understand. If you have had the sufficient education and environment to learn these things before needing to ask about it online, you are privileged. The alt-right/MGTOW/nazi/etc. crowd have cultivating resentment in confused and sidelined young men down to a science. They are eager to provide their twisted answers with a seemingly loving embrace when the mainstream discussion dismisses the whole topic because it’s something that you’re just somehow magically supposed to know regardless of your background.
Yes. Sorry, didn’t mean to sound like I was lecturing you. I agree with you, broadly speaking. I’ve just been online for a very long time and I’ve seen how these discussions tend to go. I got in my head and wrote to the amalgamation of all the people whose response to topics like these is to shame people for not knowing.

I did not… forget this? But I guess you’re talking to the general “you” and not me personally?
