>The term "toxic masculinity" is not in that message, though I used it elsewhere in the thread about boys who had attacked you in your childhood. The comment I assume you're objecting to is in the same form as the title of this thread, which you started. It's a generic comment, written in the second person. You should only be offended by it, if it applies to you.
>
>In general, if a lot of people treat you (the generic you) badly, it's fair to ask what you (the generic you) are doing to provoke that behavior. Obviously, there are exceptions. For example, the treatment of Black people in the American South for centuries was abusive based on culture, not on individual behavior. But outside of such situations, most people treat others in a way that reflects the way those others treat them.

>>Regardless. I am not an idiot nor have I been accused of toxic masculinity. You wish to live in a world where you are safe from Toxic Masculinity - being safe to walk by without harassment and that is what I demand from this "community".
>>
>>Every thing I say big mouth bAss feels it is his duty to comment. If a woman asks a man to stop catcalling her, he is an a$$ to continue. Well you see what is happening. I am defending myself with no help from you.

>What you're doing is digging yourself a deeper and deeper hole from which it will be harder and harder to climb out and be treated as a respectable and respected member of this community. Neither you nor anyone else is entitled to have everything they say automatically accepted as the absolute truth. People arguing with your ideas are not harassing; they're disagreeing with you. Even if you are absolutely certain of your correctness, it's still not harassment. People aren't going to accept your ideas because you bully them into it.

IT IS WALTER THAT IS BULLYING ME AND OTHERS INTO ACCEPTING HIS GOD DAMN OPINION.

The time when the stupid - as were the Roman Catholic church - should be allowed to lock Galileo under house arrest for proclaiming science and truth should be past.

>Mike, I'll repeat what I said to you several months ago. From things you've said here recently, it is clear that you have some deep wounds based on your personal history. I think you would be well-served to talk to someone about those wounds. I am sincerely worried about you.
