In today’s society of victim privilege, we have started apologizing for what people choose to hear instead of what was actually said. Cries of; “What did you say?” or “Did you assume my gender?”, ring out self-righteous indignation and victim banner waiving. I have stopped saying no one cares. Now, I just respond for myself. I don’t care.
There appears to be an art to misinterpreting what others say, maximizing the offense you can extract from a statement. Cries against my insensitivity fall on deaf ears. I don’t care what you think of me, no matter how loud you scream. The worst part is the double standards applied. In the same breath that I am called a racist and male oppressor, they point to statistics of race and gender statistics to justify their position. Believe the science followed by gender is a feeling.
I can’t imagine a person surviving being that sensitive to everything. It brings out my Darwinian side, if you’re too week to survive masculinity, maybe it’s just natural selection. If the world is so scary you don’t know if you want to have children, don’t.
Just don’t expect me to accept your definition of reality.
