    By the way, THIS IS WHAT MEN ON THE INTERNET DO TO CUT WOMEN DOWN. "If you were a man, no one would pay attention to your ideas or work."

        @avantgame but—but, "if you were a woman, no one would pay attention to your ideas or work" = THE HISTORY OF THE PLANET. Basically.

        @avantgame Which is a myth and BS all over. The focus on male achievement is so everyday thay it stands out/registers when it's a woman. »

        @avantgame » This leads ppl who don't pay attention to just notice what stands out. They draw a dumb conclusion and then shits on amazing »

        @avantgame The response to this, of course, is: "I take it you're speaking from experience?" Try to inflect a tonal *pat pat* if you can.

        @avantgame Could we maybe start adding the word "some" before "men" and not lumping us all together as misogynists? Two wrongs and all that.
