No, you can’t. And that is fine. Maybe it’s a regional thing. Either way, I’m not blaming you for this misunderstanding.

Here- where I am, an adult being called a child is an insult. For example, saying to someone: “You’re being childish!” Is calling them out for bad or inappropriate behavior.

This has nothing to do with gender and everthing to do with maturity. Hopefully this explains it better.

Okay. You clearly want to be offended, and I’m not a person that indulges people that want to be offended.

I have explained myself enough times that I feel confided that you either cannot understand what I am saying to you or are consciously choosing not to.

Either way, this is over.

Do you honestly think that I am assuming these people are actually children? Do you think that I don’t understand the difference between a small child and an adult? Is it possible that I’m accusing them of being immature little kids for messing in such an appalling manner by taking away their ability to be seen as men?

Or do you think that maybe you’re taking my comment to the extreme literal for the because you like to argue?

I’ll let you think about that for a little while and come back to this.

Yes. It does. If we’re inaccurately defining the term “men” as a gender only, then what they do is entirely irrelevant- as behavior isn’t defined by gender. But that’s not what I’m doing here.

I’m taking about the term “men” as one being a grown adult. And grown adults don’t behave this way. children that don’t know better do. Don’t get wrapped up in absolutes here. It’s just a play on words tweak of terminology.

Men know better.

EDIT: autocorrect is a monster!

If these closeted self-hating hypocritical politicians would just increase funding for mental health programs in our country, and then take part in them, maybe they’d realize that normal people wouldn’t hate them for who they are.

Maybe they’d learn than it’s only their foolish party that’s trying to buy the votes of hateful bigots and misogynists via hateful accusations and oppressive policy that seemingly hate everyone, yet can never explain in when pressed up against confession.

I never said men can’t do anything wrong.

What I meant was “boys” will treat women like this. “men” won’t. It’s just a term. Not to be interpreted literally. And also, this isn’t to assume men are exempt from making mistakes, we’re all human and we’re all flawed, but it doesn’t take a rocket surgeon to know that treating ANYONE like this isn’t something that is defined as “a mistake.”
