      @seanbonner @avantgame Read up on http://finallyfeminism101.wordpress.com/2007/10/18/phmt-argument/ … - it's a standard derailment tactic.

      @mikerentas @avantgame @seanbonner Must be room for *something* between "men have no problems" and "but what about men". No?

      @ltgrunt @avantgame @seanbonner Yes, but not every conversation needs to be about that.

      @mikerentas @avantgame @seanbonner Of course, but starting a claim w/ "men never" predestined to lead to it. Absolutes = counterproductive.

      @avantgame @mikerentas But that's the perception when saying "men don't worry about...". Comes off as a generalization about all men always.

      @ltgrunt @mikerentas well it certainly doesn't help when other paraphrase and add heightened generalizing words :) Play fair, play fair!

          @avantgame I agree with your points, I'm just iffy on the idea that being threatened is totally foreign concept to men. I know that feeling.

          @avantgame @mikerentas Also, my kneejerk reaction is "don't lump me in with those jerks". It's important to note that not all men the same.
