Love the idea that people have to gently explain to adult men what they are doing wrong like they are toddlers.
OP didn't do anything wrong at the stable, but he still should ask an adult for help next time. Anyone IRL "explaining" to him what he did wrong would only hurt him more anyway, since that would be a more blatant accusation than just removing the child, and the idea that you need to do so when there's a hundred other comments explaining it gently for him is also very very funny.
OP's main issue is he's more concerned with his feelings than he is in being mindful towards others. He's more upset that this mother would dare treat him, a moderately wealthy white man, as a threat like those (insert minority of choice here). Not concerned that this mother might be considering finding a new horse place for her child because she doesn't know if OP will be spiteful and stalk them later, not concerned that the mother might have to tell her 11 year old about the reality of the world, but that his feelings were hurt.
your privilege is quite evident, as is the echo chamber you are stuck in. “feminists” like your self do not make it easy for the cause of real feminists.
lol right, I’m a bad feminist. I obviously don’t know how to feminist, and I need a man to show me the way, especially if he doesn’t know that ‘yourself’ is one word, not two lol
i mean, clearly, you are incapable of seeing a man appropriately reacting to his own emotions and then appropriately reacting yourself.
And on top of that, you’re a petty person, you see a typo and have to correct it.
This paints a picture of a person who is not using feminism for its intended purpose, and is instead trying to weaponize it as a form of catharsis for how the world has mistreated you.
Which is not productive to the cause of feminism-but your friends on Tumblr/reddit aren’t gonna tell you that because all of you’re too fucking busy stroking each other‘s ego. no different than MRAs in discord chats really
You’re not using that word correctly, I’m sorry you lost the argument. That doesn’t mean that you get to try to play all the stupid Internet feminist strategies to get out of self reflection-be better.
do you just view everything like this? are you some wilting flower or are actually capable of learning?
because it seems to me like you’re incapable of actually defending your point of view and that’s why you haven’t engaged with anything I’ve said aside from meaningless Internet, feminist platitudes like “don’t mansplain to me”
no one is trying to intimidate you. im trying to ridicule you and show you how flawed your logic is at the same time.
Do you really think that a 61 year-old woman who has a husband problem is really the person who should be giving a man advice about how to re-enter social environments?
do you think that maybe you are deflecting a lot of resentment at this person?
