No you have missed my point entirely. I am not focused on what women experience because I don't know that and have never had the opportunity to spend time as a woman in public.

What I am frustrated with is the statements claiming that men will of course have either a much easier time or won't suffer any negative…

Maybe I'm the aberration then, I hate to cook(I'm bad) but like to bake. There is very little rebellion in my heart...

You are correct. It was a quick throw-away comment posted from my phone that could in no way adequately explain the thought that was in my head.

I shed no tears for this guy if the story we have received is correct, it sounds as though it is but I think holding out judgement until further facts are revealed is usually…

That isn't the point I was ever trying to make though, why would I answer it? My point was that I am frustrated by people making broad generalizations about how men experience being in public.

I am fully aware that men and women will face different challenges I just am tired of people making these sweeping assumptions…

When I see things like this I have a moment of panic, wondering if I'm this guy and I just haven't noticed yet.

Time to obsessively edit my OKC account and fear

Short atheist stoners unite!

Messy and already dirt cheap. Why bother

In my experience they respond REALLY well to freshly baked bread and butter.

Again though you are making assumptions about our experience. If women don't want men trying to explain away their experience it stands to reason to not do the same thing the other way

Some amount of them will be upset. Because they always will be, no matter what's happening.

I don't feel like I would be terribly oppressed and I would welcome the chance to sweep some of these incumbent criminals out of office.

Drugs and a building full of books sounds like a fun way to earn a living to me

Send them my way, I love washing dishes

It's easy, if you don't wing it. It is very literally chemistry, it's what makes bread rise correctly. I colour directly inside the lines(recipes!) and it turns out.

Following your recipe and knowing your oven help a lot(in a new oven or new apartment I lay out some bread on a cookie sheet to fight hot and cold spots),…

Most workplaces have at least one.

It isn't his place, right or freedom to mete out punishment. We have a legal system that we have, as a society, agreed to use to help keep some semblance of order and fairness.

And then you need to have a discussion about what a justified punishment is, or whether punishment accomplishes any sort of goal. I firmly…

This is how you become King of the Stoners. Sadly they aren't particularly devoted subjects and will likely betray you

My issue isn't with saying that the experiences are different, my issue is with women making any sort of assumption about our experience at all, when I commonly hear the request made to not do the same thing in reverse.

Sorry if I wasn't particularly clear, I have a bad habit of having an idea that perhaps has merit and then expressing it in a profoundly stupid way. Apologies for that!

As well if I seemed, errr, combative? I have just seen many comments where people are making a leap to assume how we(men) experience the world and it…

But once again, packaged in there is an assumption by you about what's going through our heads. This is a thing we(men) are asked(quite rightly) not to do.

Mens comfort isn't really germane to the discussion of women's public experience however, and I simply feel that making any judgement or statement of how we feel…

Not equal, not even close, I can usually fly under (most) people's radar. I just feel that many people extrapolate men's experience based on the blowhards or fighter types. This is *not* me, I'm more of a run away and hope for the best type.
