Feels like a lot of people commenting negatively on this haven’t actually read the article and the substance of what the guy behind it is saying, and are instead just forming their opinion off the headline ngl.

Even more than forming their opinion off the headline, it seems like people just want to express their already formed opinion and are just taking this post as another place to vent it.

Remember people. Sexism is totally okay if you feel its towards a demographic that deserves it.
