Also, wanna just apologize, I was a lot more defensive than I needed to be because there was a misunderstanding of what I meant. I'm so used to misogyny being perpetuated that I immediately get defensive when I feel like that's what's happening. I could have been more clear in my initial comment about what I meant, and a bit less aggressive in my follow-up. I just get heated about these topics, and I think we both made some assumptions about what the other meant that caused a little bit of a misunderstanding.
It's okay, it's understandable. I misunderstood what you were saying at first too. These things happen.
Thanks for being reasonable and having a discussion about it, clarifying what you meant and considering my perspective. It's much healthier than assuming the worst intentions and going on the attack, which is far more common online.
What was it Carol Gilligan said about the ethics of care, that we should try to "ascertain the other's perspective" or something along those lines?
I think we had a productive conversation. It certainly expanded my perspective.
