We cannot feel what women feel?
We do not know what it is, to walk around without a dick hanging from our mid section. Thinking about that alone takes me somewhere else. We can only speak from our perspectives, in my opinion. I want to feel more about the situation and analyze it with emotions instead of logic, but it is difficult. I am working on this.

You are correct we cannot feel what being a woman is like. However, we can learn, we can educate ourselves. We can be an ally instead of an enemy. That alone is productive. Feminism is still growing on me as well. I feel you 100%. Everything you have said, I've experienced those same thoughts. I'm working on it as well.

I've noticed even with younger people. Gender roles can do great damage.

A friend got groped and LICKED on her breasts by a stranger during a party and was just like "Aah, who cares? That's what guys do." And I had to chew her ouT that night because a man should NEVER touch you sexually without permission. I am a huge feminist, AND she was begging me to let it go, but I honestly could've choked her and that dude right there

Yes you better go in. "That's what guys do", oh lord.
