307. You calling me a boy cannot bring me down one notch.

It takes a lot more than that, by a long shot. I am well aware of patriarchy. I've read The Handmaid's Tale. And I'm not presenting that as some kind of Golden Ticket but only to let you know that I am not ignorant and I am not ill-informed. I was born in South Carolina, raised in Tennessee, and I found my way to the Democratic party. I have "evolved" quite a bit, actually.

My statement remains. It is my opinion that you cannot effectively challenge sexist behavior while you yourself exhibit it. Denigrating men does not solve anything and really nullifies the rest of your argument.

Peace.
