BTW, will ***someone*** please confirm for me that the term "cisgendered" means the same as "natal female?"
I believe it does Wing Walker.
Yep, it does.
So Wing Walker, do you mean this has given you some sort of aversion to men?
Nope, I have no aversion to men, Nero. I just have a preference towards women and tend to sympathize with them.
Neither gender has an easy life but I know more single moms who are still hoping for the first support check.
I also see more women showing signs of violence inflicted on them by men.
Sexual and gender harassment are more often visited upon women than on men.
No aversion but I know who believes that they have the power and, "Power never conceded anything without a demand." The quote is from Frederick Douglass.
In the beginning I did have an aversion toward men. It was men who made women miserable more often than the other way around. When I showed up at work I had a wonderful day of acceptance by other women at the office. The men avoided me and tossed me pleasant smiles --- NOT!
I have moderated much of what I originally felt about men but I continue to read "Back Off!", my handbook of how to spot and handle sexual and gender harassment.
Nope, no aversion, Nero. I don't look away from anyone but I don't look for a fight, either.
Does this make sense to you?
