    Maybe if you read it you’d see the statement isn’t saying anything at all, which isn’t something I’m denying. It’s deliberately phrased to be a general, non-statement while inciting biases someone may read into it.

    Interpreting a phrase different from someone else isn’t gaslighting, but I see you’ve resorted to straight up insults. Touch some fucking grass, christ.

      I think you’re the one who needs to read the statement again. It is very clearly negative towards men.

      If it was neutral, it would not have added “Dishes out”

      “You’ll never convince any of them to change”

      “None of them think they are the problem”

      Those are not neutral statements. They are accusatory and as it is stated in the beginning of the comment, it is accusing all men.

      I have never heard any context where “dishes out” was used in a positive or neutral way toward someone. It is always a negative way of saying that someone is treating other people in a way they wouldn’t like to be treated themselves.

      If the statement was neutral, then why would it be necessary to put emphasis on men not being willing to change the way they dish out what they think women deserve?

      And why would anyone have to think men were the problem if them dishing it out to women wasn’t an issue?

      I believe you know that this statement is hateful towards men and you’re being cheeky about it, because if not, then you probably are the one who needs to learn how to read the meaning of a sentence.

          Funny how you have no ability to engage with anyone’s argument other than deflecting and delivering little insults. Very mature.

            Pot meet kettle. I’m not engaging because you threw insults right off the bat.

            Think about how you engage with people if you want to get your point across. But then again, you’re just dishing out what you think I deserve, right?
