Itās a good start I guess. Just hopefully some day they notice that the list of things most women like is actually just the list of things most Homo sapiens like, and make the connection.

That explained it SO WELL! Itās so pervasive that I never figured out how to put into words. Like a fish trying to describe water.
Thank you. What is it they say, a burden shared is a burden halved?

Just you it seems? Although with Brave it takes me a couple of tries.

Ah thanks itās back for me now too. Some kinda Twitter fart I guess.
Itās a great thread! Great examples of a subset of Nice Guy behavior, useful term too: āhelpful condescension.ā (And BBS is also often full of it, of course.)

Iām failing at this constantly. I am doing my best to be conscious of my privilege and improve but I recognize that I still do this. I am sorry. I will continue to try to do better and I appreciate those who call me out on it.

By āthisā do you mean the recent topic of āhelpful condescensionā? There are so many options for displaying misogyny (not specifically for you, just in general) that I want to be clear on what you are open to being called out on, if it should occur again. 
And kudos on you for some self introspection. Thank you.

Yes, I was specifically talking about āhelpful condescensionā. I will sometimes think that I am merely adding to the conversation, but am, in fact, mansplaining or worse. I find it much too easy to get into this defensive back-and-forth. But I would like to be called on any misogyny I display. Thank you.
