I don't think you're snarky. I think you're thoughtful. I was being glib with my blanket "male nonsense" statement. I should have been specific and said, "Stuff men do deliberately to push women's boundaries and erode rights in bad faith." I think we're on about the same page, but you are being more eloquent than I was. :)

I definitely came to awareness of these issues late (fairly recently) because I haven't directly been affected by them. I saw everyone shouting at J.K. Rowling and saying she was "canceled" and thought "that seems odd." I researched the things she was talking about, and here I am. I'm still learning from all of you but my tendency will always be to assume good intentions while looking out for harmful actions.
