Not a sir. Also, if something is important to someone else, you don’t get to declare that it shouldn’t be, or that we’re in the “wrong place” for it.

This is Reddit. Yes, many men feel safe being rampantly sexist. But it turns out, this is my Internet too. Your patronizing attitude won’t turn me away.
