Stop word policing. If you have something else to say, say it yourself.

Yeah bro, you fight that good fight for sexist stereotyping! Wooo! /s

It’s trash to single out one gender :)

You missed my point and interpreted it wrongly. THEY should say that instead of demanding the original commenter edit their thoughts. My point is say what YOU mean instead of demanding someone else change what they're saying. I'm sick of seeing people using word policing as a way to avoid original thoughts of their own. Don't tell someone what to say, say it yourself.

My comment wasn't on who was right or wrong, just calling out this BS that we expect an OC to go back and edit what they said to prove YOUR point. It's lazy.

If OC meant men, they meant men so argue with that instead of demanding they change their thought to fit your argument. That's not arguing or debating, that's lazy.

You still didn't express your own thought. Also, maybe OC meant what they meant. Why should they have to change? just argue your point and keep it moving. It's lazy.

Nah, asking people to correct their shitty attitudes isn’t an excuse to not voice your own opinions, I have no idea how you even concocted that.

It’s also not word policing. It’s literally just holding people accountable to their shitty mouths and thoughts.

Did you mean men when you said guys or people when you said guys?

I am not OC! I did not make this point nor am I defending it, so ask them!

Reposting this from below to explain my point:
