Don’t return evil for evil.

And not all women are bad.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 76242079
And not all men are sexual harassing rapists. But that's how we get treated in the workplace.

This has been going on for decades, I remember when I was in USMC boot camp, my senior DI told all of us "don't talk to or deal with WM's (Women Marines) except for official business. Avoid them out of work, and no more than pleasantries while at work, because they can ruin your career for any or no reason at all."

What man wants to put his career in jeopardy because a comment of "that's a nice dress" or "do you need help with that?" gets defined as "harassment"?
 Quoting: Philly Special


One place I worked, a new female hire in another department, but same building, was in the kitchen one day while I was making my lunch, filling up her water bottle from the tap-connected water cooler with a filter.

I introduced myself and said "Hey, just so you know, nobody uses that cooler and the filter hasn't been changed in years. I wouldn't drink it, you might get botulism or something. Get bottled water out of the drink machine."

She turns around and complains to her boss an HR that I "man-splained" to her and the she felt uncomfortable and harassed. Needless to say, I had to continue working with this person for several more years until she got nixed in a merger.

Well, yeah, you kinda did mansplain.
A better approach, and it's all in adaptable language of feminine and masculine... would be to say: "we should probably ask Barbara to change that water filter so you get the best product from that cooler". That way you are looking out for her best interest and not busting her on stealing water or insinuating she is stupid for her choice.

Men are natural "fixers" and they want to invade everyone's life to fix shit. Looking at that from my perspective is that I want to live in my fucked up world and I'll ask you to fix shit when I trust you. There are steps to a relationship.

pedagogy, understaning the perspective of others.

Your fucking sick in the head. Just fuck the hell off hell whore.

By the way. I have the right to treat you like shit, because you are garbage.
