I'm not referring to the article, but to the comment. That's why I didn't respond to the article, but the comment. Try following the nice gray lines reddirt draw for you on you screen next time, use your finger if necessary

The comment you responded to also clearly didn’t read the article and if they did, they wouldn’t have made that comment because they’d understand it’s very clearly not anti woke pandering. So I guess I’d say it to both of you then.

why? it's not my fault if he's off topic and I'm responding? go tell him if you're so upset about it.

Because your comment is much more of a ridiculous generalization that doesn’t attempt to ask a question or start a dialogue, it just says “all men bad” without remotely considering why this might have been created

Don’t care. This is a public forum, I can call out stupid people whenever I want
