I really hope the women in your life see these tweets and express their opinions about them to you.
Not telling men not to disagree with women for 24 hours even if they're really wrong & reflect on why they want to do that.

Here is one example. I didn't call you names. "Think about why you need to engage every time" is good advice.https://twitter.com/fawfulfan/status/907176550478618624 …

But not a gendered one. Incredibly condescending & u'd see it if it was 'Women, think about why you disagree with men.Try not to for a bit.'

I have actually been told that. "Maybe you should go think about why you can't get along" with a group of men who talked over me constantly.

I have no idea who was in the right there. If you saw it one way & everyone else another, perhaps you did need to think about this.

I was reading straight from the text they were arguing about. THEY couldn't even agree, but I had the rules right in front of my face.

Obviously, I cannot judge. It's possible for one person to be right & everyone else in the room to be wrong.

But it's also very common for people to think this is the case & for feminists to read assertive disagreement as sexism.

Not as common as it seems, but it happens. More common for people to get defensive & think of arguments, instead of what is being said.
